The fates smile on her again and it's not long before the stattaco sound of hoofbeats on sand reach her fluted ears and she perks toward the sound. The long elegant arch of her neck unfurls as she orients toward the golden stallion that approaches her, and a grin born of pure pleasure slides across her pale lips. He was a handsome man, that was certain. Golden cloaked with a shimmer that took full advantage of the unseasonably nice day to glitter with his good health. Her dark gaze travels across the strong musculature of his figure and up the proud bow of his neck to finally rest upon his face and the brilliant blue eyes therein.

She could look upon him all day with pleasure, but it seems that he denies her the same appreciation.

Stubbornly he locks his gaze on her face and a momentary frown erases the pleasure on her own lips of only a moment ago. Not only does he fail to leer at her as nearly every other male she has ever me has, but he doesn't even pay her a compliment in his greeting, reducing her to something little more than a mild annoyance in his day. Only the playful tone to his words gave her hope that she was not wasting her time with him.

She would not allow hereslf to be bested by a stallion hellbent on being a gentleman. Vanya settles herself, mimicking the inclination of her dished face in greeting in such a way that the breeze was allowed to lift and toss the strands of her mane until they danced across her skin.

"A good day to you as well," she offers softely, her dark eyes dancing up to meet his own. "No particular reason, I suppose."

She casts a glance of her shoulder toward the direction from whence she'd come. Paradise had become full of various creatures, and now with the addition of the Bay herd, it was a chaotic mash of personalities that had not yet figured out how to handle one another. Her fluted ears tip back momentarily and she lets the unease of the situation filter across her face before she turns back to him, making an effort to smile once more.

"Rougaru has plenty of girls to keep him busy, and I don't think he's particularly happy with me after the Peak tried to raid me." This is not in and of itself fully true. Rougaru is likely just as happy with her as he normally is - being as oblivious to her real desire to escape as he wanted to be - but it was a plausible scenario. She hadn't exactly asked him of his thoughts after Kyuubi had been chased back into the ocean. They'd exchanged a bit of a flirt and a bit of a taunt and separated once more. He to tend to the exploding growth of his family, and she to search out someone else to appreciate her.

Fitting a smile that wavers only slightly onto her pale lips she meets the stallion's gaze once more. "I figured it might be nice to meet the other residents of Atlantis. I hope you don't mind...?"
