"Hmm...mystery but not quite..sound a clock makes." she murmers to herself thoughtfully as they swim along the river toward to who knows where.
There are alot of words that mean mystery or something like it, but she couldn't think of any that ended with the sound tick or tock. So...perhaps it was part of mystery? Mystoc..no no, Mystic now that was likely.
Mystic what an intriquing name, rather like the stallion himself.
"What a lovely hoop you have there, Mystic." Tigress smiles triumphantly. "Where ever did you get it?"
(OOC: I have no doubts. *Grins* I'm sure they'll enjoy it too. ~.^ )
Looking into the Tiger's Eyes
Moderator: Tigress
He chuckles warmly at the mention of his name. He knew she would guess correctly. Something about her emanated cunning. Slowly Mystic twirled the hoop in response to her question.
'This? Well to be honest your guess would be as good as mine.' He paused to give it the second meaning. 'Which it was, wasn't it?' His grin widened as he glided even closer to Tigress. He could feel his muscles adjust to the nearness of her. Then he began to notice how much her smooth, saturated coat clung to her. He began to realise that she may soon tire of swimming (to his disappointment). Unlike himself who was born into the water, she was born for the land. He may be able to swim and live in the water for years on end yet mares such as she can not. However if it were he, he wouldn't admit any weakness. As Mystic has seen that she is similar in many ways to him he decided to change things a bit.
'Now we can swim around all day and discuss me, but that would leave out a topic which I am more interested in... you.' Again he grinned, very confidently. 'I have seen your prowess in the water as you have seen mine. Perhaps I may observe you in your realm as you have seen me in mine?'
Feeling as though he was perhaps a little too bold he decided to ask a subtler question. 'Do you wish to join me for a lunch that is well past due? On land, perhaps? I seem to be very hungry suddenly.'
((OOC) Sorry. It now takes me sooo long to post. My computer keeps chucking wobblies. Each time the cursor hovers over submit it decides to crash! I feel like chucking it out the window! It's ok. So long as it lets one through.))

One bright night in the middle of the day, two dead men got up to play. Back to back they faced each other, drew thier swords and shot each other.
"Hehehe, yes it was." she replies cheerfully as they swim along effortlessly. "I think I used to know where my fiery fur bracelets came from, but that was before I...moved. I've forgotten alot of things." Tigress skims lightly over a often painful subject for most serians without a blink.
"Humm?" she glances at Mystic not quite sure what he meant at first. Then she laughs once, "Oh, sure if you like. I certainly would like to see how well you fare on land, handsome." Tigress winks.
Since they were already fairly close to touching and where going to be heading for the shore, Tigress suddenly gets inspired. Oh this could be Fun! she turns to Mystic, "How about giving a lady a ride?" not that she was tired, but the chance was too good to pass up on!
Tigress eyes his finned wings, she could hook her forelegs over those..and maybe the hoop would help her to stay on his back.
Any excuse to get real close and personal without the obvious flirtation. ~.^ Plus it would be competition enough to see whether he could swim with her along, and if she could hold on to him at the same time!
((OCC: Thats okay. Augh, I know the feeling my computer has been locking up randomly on me for a month and everytime I send it back it works perfectly for them, so I'm going to be calling the internet people to have them check the modem to see if that is causing it.
Perhaps you should write it all out in a document and then copy/paste so that you won't have to keep writing it everytime it crashes. ))

*Achz nudged by Tigress* Ow OW!
*Achz nudged by Mystic* OW OW OW!!! Alright, alright I'll RP... lol)
A ride? She is asking me for a ride? Sounds like a challenge! One Mystic was more than happy to meet head on. Using his muscular tail to sweep even closer to Tigress, Mystic glided up alongside her, brushing very faintly along her coat. So close in fact that the scent of the fresh waters lapping between the two bodies mingled with the sweet smell of the mare. A scent which Mystic inhaled deeply whist a mischievous plan formed within his cunning mind.
With a wicked gleam in his eyes and a malicious disarming smile playing across his lips Mystic replied; 'A ride? For you, my dear, it would be my pleasure to escort you to shore with you upon my back.' Leaning closer still, his warm breath caressing her cheek Mystic continued with his deep voice as calming as the water. 'Though I must warn you there may be a bit of turbulence.' With that warning on the air between them Mystic awaited her response.
((OOC) Sorry it took soooooo long. I think this computer is out to get me. I start to get it online and everything all together and *poof* another disabling virus. Either I'm targeted, or my computer attracts them, or I'm just plain unlucky. Oh well.))

(( *giggles* *snugs* Good to have you back. ^^ ))
"Mmm." Tigress makes an appreciative sound though whether it was for the feel of his strong body so close to hers or that nice male scent she wanted to snuggle her face against. She looks through her eyelashes seductively as he makes his proposal.
She whispers close to his ear, "I think I can handle that." Tigress smiles and swiftly goes astride Mystic's back, the warrior mare hooked her forelegs over his fins, wrapped her tail around the gold hoop, and hoped she would not injure the stallion with her back paws.
Well, she was in for it now, she knew it and hopefully she wouldn't forget not to claw him during anything turbulent. Oh dear. The mare grins excitedly, this was going to be quite a ride.

A shiver of both anticipation and also mischief ran down his spine. As she prepared herself for the ride upon his back Mystic counted the number of waves it took to lap against the shore within the few seconds. Perfect conditions... Mystic felt Tigress lodge herself firmly onto his fins and hoop and the cunning gleam in his eyes glinted maliciously. This is going to be fun.
Being the 'gentleman' that he is, Mystic knows that it is polite to ask her if she is ready before he takes off. So as the strong muscles coil in anticipation in his tail Mystic briefly turns his head to whisper a quick; 'Ready?'
Before the breath even left his mouth entirely he spontaneously straightened his body like an arrow and with tremendous power he instantly sprang forward at lightning speed. Each muscle in his body responding to his every whim as the force of his movements caused him and his quarry to leap above the water surface. They appeared to be suspended within the air as if they were flying.
The sun shone blissfully and glistened off the many silver facets of the scale bound bodies below the water surface as the two Serians glided above. Mystic knew what was coming next so he took in a deep obvious breath, hoping she would follow suit before they plunged underwater. Darting to and fro to avoid the almost vertical descent, Mystic hoped Tigress could hold her breath as well as she has gripped him.
As the floor of the riverbed came rushing up towards them Mystic veered off to skim his belly along the sandy bottom. A crucial point in his dive was the exact moment to veer off. Any miscalculation could have caused both him and Tigress to propel into the floor, thus ruining the day. But Mystic made it. He also managed (purely by luck) to skim through a large patch of sea grass. Inside of which was hiding large amounts of small fish and other river bound creatures. Thus causing a fountain of shimmering colours to erupt from both sides giving a very spectacular view of seascape.
However much Mystic would have enjoyed remaining with the fish and chasing them, he had an even more enjoyable experience to continue. Mystic could feel Tigress' coat as it swayed along with the long sea grass as it lapped along with the waves. Counting once again Mystic began his slow descent upwards. Slow meaning having only a slight incline and rising steadily. But actually he was going pretty fast. Like a spinning top he was using his fins to manoeuvre into what is known as a drill impression.
Twisting and twisting, going faster and faster. The weight of the water caused Tigress to be pressed against him as the surface of the water got closer and closer. Suddenly his snout broke free of the water, but his amusement didn't stop there. The second he could judge the distance to the shoreline once more Mystic spurred into action. His powerful tail instantly whipped to one side appearing as though the tremendous pressure of the water pressing in from all side had no effect upon it. Causing both Mystic and Tigress to shoot from the water at an entirely new angle.
Mystic once again achieved aerodynamic lift, this time using his tail to perform a quadruple summersault with a half twist landing directly on the edge of the shore. In order to make a smooth landing Mystic slammed his tail down upon the water edge at the precise moment to discharge the force. Which caused the water to split and form numerous perpendicular waves along the shore, spreading the energy of the impact.
Grinning widely with achievement and devilment, Mystic turned to Tigress to make sure she was still with him.
