She was a pretty thing, her dark black coat gleaming in the sunlight giving her an almost ethereal appearance. Her pale golden eyes rose to meet his own and drove a warm smile upon his own lips. She chuckles lightly at his words and offers a simply explanation that drove his usual reserved nature into calm relaxation. The beast within him settled easily into the conversation as he lets the weight of his solid frame drift from one hind to the other. Pale cream and caramel colored locks settle over his broad brow as the stallion reached towards her own reveling in the excitement that coursed through his veins as her lips brush against his own. "So then I suppose I need to ask if you are from these parts then." he adds with a playful chuckle. Nostrils flare as he inhales a deep breath of her scent, savoring the unfamiliar spices that linger beneath the salt and water. A single ear flickers as she mentions mountains. It was as if the fates were trying to tell him something. He would have to go visit the peaks soon.

Politely he nods at her words, "The Mountains huh?" he murmurs, his thick skull tilting towards her as genuine curiosity gleams in his multifaceted eyes. "I bet it was a beautiful place too." he continues, shuffling his thick hooves beneath him. She remarks on the jungle's beauty and Rougaru cannot help but to puff out his chest with the same delight. It was rare occasion that others saw past the noisy cawwing of parrots or the incessant murmur of buzzing insects to the beauty of the brightly colored flowers or the lush green grasses and delicious fruits that Atlantis had to offer. Of all the places that he had ever called home, this place, this jungle... this paradise. It was his home. Emerald gaze flits from the welcoming palms back to the petite black mare before him. "Nadine..." he repeats, tasting the flavors of her syllables of her name upon his tongue. A rougish grin spreads across his wolfish features. "A beautiful name for a beautiful face." he adds with a warm wink. She asks if this is his home and Rougaru nods his head fervently, tilting his head towards the green palms. "It is indeed. Would you like to see it? The passion fruit are in full bloom now, if we are lucky there might be a few that the others have left for us." he asks warmly.
