He was admiring the play on colors in the sky and the rippled replication on the sea mixed in with its own hues. His mismatched gaze followed one row of waves as it approached the shore, capping and rolling before they slid onto the greyish sand. He began to think that the beach may just become one of his favorite places. Even in all the sights he had ever seen. It was so peaceful at the moment, and he enjoyed the quiet.
Moments later, soft footfall in the sand behind him reached his ears, followed by a feminine voice. "You look happy." Bay roan stallion turned his head to view the mare, and he almost did a double-take at her appearance. She was very lovely, with shades of pink covering her entire body with darker pink primitive markings. The only indication of his surprise was a slight widening of his eyes, easily missed. Only in Beqanna, he thought with affectionate amusement. He returned her smile nonetheless, and nodded to her in greeting. "I am happy." He validated her observation pleasantly. "It is the beginning of a beautiful day. And even better now." His voice was deep and smooth, lightly accented with Italian influence. That which he had taken from his father. His dual colored gaze- the left brown, the other green- slid from her back out to the ocean. It was better now. Now that he had arrived here, and now he had company to enjoy it with. He didn't mean it necessarily flirtatiously, but he did mean it.
She spoke of the dolphins showing themselves only moments before he arrived and he 'tsked', though his easy smile did not fade. "That certainly would have been a sight to see. Do they do that often? I would surely like to see them. Perhaps I may be given another chance." He kept his voice low, deepening his baritone, wanting not to disturb the serenity of the scene around them. One ear was pointed to her, the other flicked between the white noise of the seashore and the brustling of the warm breeze playing through the trees, whistling through the caves and rocky cliffs. Birds sang in the distance, adding to the music of it all.
She introduced herself then, and he turned to her a bit more, basically only taking a step or two with his hinds. He stood now at an obtuse angle to her, scarred haunches facing more away. This way he could better divide his attention between her and their surroundings. He smiled at her, this time dipping his head respectfully. "Buongiorno, Djinni. It is good to meet you. I am Simeon." He let a heartbeat or two pass before he asked. "Have you been with the sisterhood long?"
