He is an oddball. No one would ever deny that, least of all him. But who can blame him? I mean, just look at his parents. Well, actually, you can’t because they’re pretty absentee. His mother at least had raised him up until he could kinda sorta fend for himself. She’s a bit selfish, but he won’t hold that against her. She is his mom after all. His father, well… he’d never met the man. Heard he’d died. Also heard he wasn’t exactly the nicest bloke, but still, would’ve been nice to meet him.
Despite that, he seems to have turned out alright. Well, a bit strange, but we’ve already established that. Still, he’s decent enough. A nice, normal looking young stallion. A bit on the plain side. His dusty black coat won’t stand out to anybody. His eyes are a rather pretty silver color, but beyond that, just your average joe.
Certainly no one handsome enough, or strong enough, or cocky enough to attract some of the gems of the field. Still, never hurts to try. Worst that can happen is he gets shot down. Which, well, he’s used to it. See above.
So he’s here again, standing rather idly as he plays with a bit of sunlight. The little stray beam dances across his skin, making shapes and swirls and patterns. It’s entertaining at least. And just about the only cool thing about him. He’s not above using his gods given gifts to attract some company.
He almost doesn’t notice her at first. He’s too busy playing with his sunshine, even though, technically, he’s here to find a mare or two who might actually want to join his herd. Jeez, pay attention man.
He might not be especially pretty, but his chosen herd land is. That’s something, right? Anyway, he finally does notice her. She’s a pretty little mare, and seems friendly enough, at least from what he can tell just by looking at her. So he approaches, is features relaxed and a slight grin tugging at his lips.
”Hi,” he begins. A good start, a little boring, but not objectionable at least. ”I’m, uh, Astray.” Ok, that was less good. ”You look nice,” he finishes rather lamely. ”What’s your name?”
Wow Astray. Jus wow.
