OOC| Here you go, Kyra! I had almost been done when I accidentally refreshed and had to start again Buuut they've finally decided to hang out somewhere besides each other's realms!
The sun was blinding below them, although neither Nova nor Breeze noticed. They were both too focused on one another to care about such a trivial detail.
Breeze nipped at the gems dangling in Nova's tail, smiling as the wind chime he had gifted her tinkled against the stones and wove in and out of her luxurious hair. Her response was to flap harder, climbing above him and circling down beneath to brush the same sort of gem he had dangling from the tips of his great blue wings - a living wind chime himself, in a way.
They nipped and brushed, circled and dove, weaving back and forth across a meandering stream that was half-frozen along the banks. The low hills stretched to the horizon, the water slowly winding towards a distant sea.
Their wings were straining, but still they didn't land, for they enjoyed their teasing game far too much. The winds in Breeze's realm were cold and cutting, but wonderful for gliding around the sharps peaks and cliffs. There, the caves and trees were hung with his prized wind chimes, making every turn a musical discovery.
For Nova, the suns baked her realm and gave a glare to rival even that of the snow below, providing the most wonderful updrafts for aerial dancing. Every dip would show another hidden treasure in her lands, an area that might have otherwise never been discovered on hoof.
They had spent a lot of time in one another's realms, slowly getting to know each other and nourishing the tender romance that was blooming. Her stallion suitor had given her the chimes in the tail - she had granted him the stones in his wings.
Eventually they were forced to land, the winds screaming by their ears as they dove towards the ground. Breeze pulled up first, his wings aching from the strain as he flapped once, twice. Folding his wings while he landed revealed Nova already standing before him, spike-edged wings tucked neatly to her sides as she stepped closer and kissed his nose.
"What took you so long?" she teased, and whickered as he reached around and nipped a tuft of mane playfully, bumping her with his shoulder.
"I thought I saw something over in the West on the way down."
"Oh? I thought you wanted to follow the stream."
"It curves back towards the west in a few leagues, doesn't it?"
"I had thought that to be a pond."
"Your eyes are better than mine. It very well could turn into a pond before continuing on."
"Want to find out?"
Breeze merely grinned, nipping at her ear as he leaped forward and flicked her side with his layered tail. "Ja, ve shall explore! Hierher!"
Nova laughed, rearing up and racing after him as he called back teasing bits of encouragement, challenging her in a variety of amusing accents. He was just so cute when he got playful!
