Stepping lightly crystalline trees, a branch of one such tree with unusual clarity cradled with delicacy in his maw, Raveendra's eyes remained glued on the ground to sweep for goodies to apply to his trade. A small satchel vaguely clanked against his right haunch, jingling just a bit louder when he spotted two shed Light scales only to stuff them in the pouch as well. He'd specifically made his way towards the gentle slope that led from the crystal forest into shrub greens so that he could comb the near beach for shells and such. What he hadn't expected as he pushed silently through the last few bits of green cover was the strange gold gleam near the shore.
Now, the Weaver had seen fit that Raveendra didn't have the best sight at a distance, something he'd never lamented. His great near vision by far was an equal trade. So he stood, eyes trying to focus on the odd gleam, his streamers twitching unconsciously as he did so.
Maybe the sea had washed golden ore up yet again? It had happened before after stormy weather. Raveendra couldnt recall recent inclement weather however.
Then the gleam moved, turned half towards him. Taken aback, he was now sure the oddly glittering shape was another B'alam. Strange. But, not enough to deter him from his task. Stepping out from cover, he made sure to glance up and two the sides. Then he was right back to keeping his eyes trained on the ground. Colorful shells with creamy oil slick toned undersides were snatched up.
Making his way forward, rapidly forgetting the other B'alam nearby, he almost exclaimed when he found the waters edge. Sea glass, rounded by the surf and in pastel shades were a rare find. In such high concentration even more so. Looking back at his bag, Raveendra growled in annoyance that he'd be unable to fit all the pieces sparkling in water inside.
No matter, he'd just have to be choosy.

Methodically lifting bits of glass from the surf, Raveendra's red eyes scrutinized each piece for clarity. Those deemed flawed were tossed to the side, but the rest were carefully stashed in his satchel. That is until a shrill squeal paired with the ticklish touch of a single feather dancing over his flank scared the dickens out of him. "Nngh!" He both stiffened and sent his rear shimmying away, streamers immediately held up and out in surprise. Sucking in a steadying breath, he found the glittering golden blob from before had resolved into a feather ruffled female, wide eyed and staring at him.
His first thought, when recognition settled in was…small. Tiny. Raveendra had to tilt his gaze father down than normal to take her in. He was large for a Light male, almost comparative to the few Ice males he'd had the pleasure of interacting with. But, the size disparity was almost ridiculous, he could already feel a crick in his neck.
"Ex…", that crystal branch was still in his mouth. How embarrassing. His streamers snapped tight against his head, neatly crossing over his back, his version of blushing. Lowering the branch to the sand, he shook as his head came back up, his scales clinking pleasantly with the movement. Like the Wind, his shake was like resetting ruffles feathers. But finally he sat, head angled almost sheepishly, "excuse me."
Apology delivered he briefly met the female's…awed, that what he'd call it, lavender gaze. But his eyes didn't linger, instead they curiously followed the twisting and swirling patterns of gold back through the silk of her hair, then up along her pelt. Every twist and swirl, she reminded him intensely of the filigree he made his trade in. As those thoughts compounded, his streamers crossed yet again. The beauty of her markings was stunning and Raveendra had never been one to feel attraction towards another. Yet as his eyes returned to locking with her intent gaze, he felt a tug at his heart he couldn't have dreamed to expect.

Her ears had been pulled back, her eyes wide, her feathers ruffled, and her steamers twitching with the light breeze off the ocean. His voice suddenly rumbled through her ears and they turned slowly towards the sound. The shiver caressed her spine again and warmth started at her core. She could feel his ruby gaze like feathers tickling over her as he looked her over. Helki was frozen, the sand between her toes not even registering.
He was tall, her head was tilted back to look up into his handsome face, her eyes narrowed to keep the sun out. The sun...oh how it danced across the scales over his back. He shook himself and sent the colors dancing and clinking like music. His pelt was pleasing shades of red with gold threading through in exotic patterns. She had met plenty of other balam, male balam, but she felt a tug in her soul looking at this big light male.
A smile slowly began to change her awe into joy, her violet eyes light up. The feathers along her wings slowly lowered and smoothed out once again. Her mind recovered and thoughts began to swirl around. She had never felt this way before but she was no stranger to emotions. But this one was new. Helki knew that balam would pair up with another, their special one. Was this what they felt when meeting the right one? Was he the right one? She knew others would pair up with same tribe or different tribe so that wouldn’t be a problem…would it? Was she shallow for thinking him so handsome or was that to be expected? The racing thoughts where getting out of hand. She pushed them down into quite submission so that maybe she could speak something coherent.
"Hello," she spoke; her voice was sweet, soft, and timid.
Now wow….She certainly knew how to wow with her many words, or lack thereof. She finally peeled her eyes away in slight embarrassment of her lack of vocabulary and gazed out towards the ocean once again. Peaceful waves lapped at the shore, the sun causing them to sparkle…like the scales. The sight helped her regain herself as she glanced sideways up at him.

Sweet as bird song.
The little females soft hello did things to Raveendra's insides he hadn't the words to puzzle into a semblance of ordered. Others had described what they had felt when they'd found the matching piece of their soul. Most said it felt like suddenly filling a gaping hole they had never know was there. Others… Others said it felt like their brains and hearts were suddenly scrambled at first meeting.
He now believed the latter.
When her lavender eyes flicked out over the ocean, Raveendra felt he could finally speak, to move. The barest of shiver passed from his neck down to his toes, "greetings…" So smooth. At least his double bass tone was low, touched with a natural growl, but steady. "Raveendra." He offered hastily, coming back onto all four feet only to tuck one forepaw to dip into an obviously practiced bow.
His red eyes stared at the crystal branch near his toes, and as he stood up once more one of his class hooked over the thick base. A welcome distraction Raveendra was going to cling to so that he wouldn't melt into a puddle of nerves. The ginger, rhythmic scrape he could feel more than hear from that claw allowed him to look back to the female who'd flipped his world upside down.
Heavenly Snow Sorry for taking so long, my RP creative juices died. They're still kinda dead, but I'm whipping them into shape.

His deep voice sent a cascade of sensation through her body once again. Her spirit sung and glowed with the sound, as if just his presence wasn't enough, the sound of his voice needed to be added in to complete it. Helki felt the need to shoot into the sky like a rocket but at the same time grounded. Not in a bad way. Feeling rooted in a way that said she found something she hadn't realized she was looking for. Found something that now made her feel complete. Him.
She kept her eyes on the ocean because she wasn't sure if she'd loose herself completely. Last thing she needed was to become a liquid mess on the sand. Helki wasn't big on decorum or the fine arts of manners, but yapping in gibberish wasn't attractive. She still had some dignity and suddenly she wanted so bad for someone to like her. And not just anyone. This light male who was so near her.
A sudden, but small sound drew her ear towards the ground to a crystal branch. One of his claws was hooked on it which drew her eyes up and back on his handsome face. His name formed in her mind. It had heard him speak it in his voice. Although hastily spoken, her mind clung to it like it was it's safety net. And as soon as it formed it moved forth and what was spoken in a deep somewhat growly voice now came out in her clear, sweet, bell-like voice.
"Raveendra."
She nearly sighed it. Her expression was soft and glowing as she gazed at him, her smiled light and peaceful. Gently, she sat down upon the sand and settled her tail around her feet, the feathers tied to the end tickling her toes.
"I'm Helki."
TruthsoftheWicked No worries. I have it happen to me...sadly, too often. xD
