 Mimir had been lazy most of the morning but was feeling hyper and like a youngling again after fishing in a shallow pond. He wondered around enjoying the warm sun as he decided to try and find something to do or someone to play with. There weren't many young ones around and alot of the other adults found him immature at times, but he was just a fun loving guy. There isn't anything wrong being in touch with your past childhood, was there?
He walked over some small hills, not much anything in sight other then pretty flowers with butterflies flying from on to the next. Wait that was it, butterflies! He got a bit giddy and kinda hoped up the last hill where a large flower field was, there were sure to be lots of butterflies there. He came to the top and looked over the flowers and there were indeed lots of playful butterflies. He bound forward and jumped with them playing a tag of sorts, the giddiness of a child overwhelming him.

 A sweet, vibrant, sound came over the far side of the hill, carried on the soft breeze through the flowers. It was faint at first, then grew in both volume and vibrancy. The melody was simple, but the chords that the voice flowed along gave it a exquisite depth. There words were as simple as the music, about love found and given away.
The owner of the voice sat with her back to the flower field, her gaze on the distant beach and the shores beyond the jeweled expanse of the sea, her wings laying along her back catching the late morning sun, causing them to sparkle a deep, rich red.

Mimir had played with the butterflies for hours when suddenly they all seemed to fly off, so he followed them. After a few minutes though he stopped..there was another sound flowing with the wind. It sounded like someone was singing. He listened closely and followed the sound now and let the butterflies fly on.
He followed the sound as it grew louder and louder. It was a sweet voice, a pure voice. Intrigued he continued to follow not knowing who he'd find. Then he saw her, it was a pink-ish purple female. Her colors blending with the slow setting sun, making them all the more vibrant. He didn't want to disturb her so he quietly moved closer until he was but 10-15ft. away. He laid in small patch of yellow flowers and listened.

Annaika let her voice fade, a wistful expression on her features. Sighing, she gathered her feet under her and rose gracefully to her feet, her wings spreading out for balance. Turning to head back up the path, her spring colored eyes caught the vivid splash of blue against the yellow of the flowers.
A startled look replaced the wistful one and the female dropped her gaze, looking away, her posture suddenly unsure. She hadn't known that anyone had been listening, or that anyone really knew of the outcropping that over looked the sea she often came to.

Mimir was smiling until she stopped and saw him. He sprang to his feet at her started and unsure reaction. "Oh Im sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I heard your signing from up the hill and I wanted find the source of the beautiful voice. Im sorry if I scared you.", he down cast his eyes to the flowers embarrassed that he had startled her.
He perked back up after a moment and smiled warmly hoping to show he wasn't a threat. He bowed lowed and introduced himself properly. "My name is Mimir. Its a pleasure to meet one with such a beautiful voice." He continued to smile as the setting sun bounced it's colors off her making her bright eyes sparkle and her body glow.

The ridge of her cheeks darkened at his compliment, and she brought her gaze up to look at him shyly from underneath her bangs, " Thank you..." she whispered, her speaking voice was a soft tone. The opposite of the vibrant ones that had woven the song together.
" Its all right, I..I just wasn't expecting anyone," the female answered, offering a delicate smile at his bow and introduction, " I am Annaika," she managed before dropping her jeweled eyes again another blush creeping up her scales. Mimir was such a beautiful blue, like the sea on a clear, bright day.

He smiled as she spoke. She had a soft, but soothing voice. "Annaika, that's a very pretty name. It goes well with your voice. You really do have a beautiful voice. I should've made my presence known. I was over the hill a ways and was playing tag with the butterflies when I heard you. I just had to see the face that matched the voice." He smiled wider at her glad that she wasn't mad at him for being there and not saying anything. He knew many dreich would scold him like a child and send him off, but she was very kind.

The female lowered her head more shyly, her gentle voice slightly embarrassed, " I was well trained, my brothers sing better...or at least louder."
She glanced up at him, a warm laugh spilling from her, almost as lovely as her song, " Do they chase back?", she asked, humor making her eyes dance.

Mimir laughed a bit at her question and smiled at the sparkle in her eyes. "Well....no not really. Sometimes they do, or so it seems. You have brothers? That sounds nice....I don't think I have any siblings....I never really knew my parents." He kinda shrugged it off.
He looked at her and kinda bounced a little one excited about something. "Do you wanna go see if the butterflies would like to play again? Or we could go past my cliff that over looks the sea. The beach always has really pretty shells hidden." He loved going to the beach, but sometimes wouldn't go by himself, afraid that the water might take him too far out and he'd drown. But he pushed that thought away as he smiled at Annaika.

Another laugh left her at the male's antics, her eyes amused at his enthusiasm, it was infectious, " I would love to see if the butterflies will chase back." Something about Mimir making her want to see him galloping around, butterflies fleeing in all directions, like an over grown puppy with favorite toy.
At his question about her siblings, her smile faded a little and she looked back down, hiding behind her hair, " My brothers are all I have left," she whispered, " but they are not here right now," the sparkle in her eyes disappearing.

Mimir smiled wide when she laughed and agreed to see the butterflies. They were playful creatures and loads of fun, he couldn't wait to share with her the fun that was butterfly tag.
His bouncing and smile subsided with mention of her brothers. His expression turned sad and he ached for the loneliness that echoed in her eyes. "Im sorry. But you will see them again...I know you will. Cheer up, nothing lasts forever, not even loneliness, longing or sadness, I promise.", he smiled warmly and nudged at her cheek, wanting to see her brilliant smile.

Annakia blinked in surprise when he nudged her cheek, the soft hue of blush warming the scales across the bridge of her muzzle, a timid smile being pulled from her despite herself.
" I believe you...when you promise, somehow I believe you." The tone of her voice suggested that she'd been promised before and had them all broken like fragments of a mirror.
The rose colored dreichda peeked up at Mirmir from under the fall of her bangs, canines biting her lip, " Why...why are you being so kind to me? Most..most aren't with a stranger."

Mimir blushed a bit as she said she believed him, but at the same time he was confused as to why it seemed like she'd been hurt in some why...a promise not kept or several in past days. He best not ask, not for the time being.
He smiled again reassuring her of whatever insecurities she had. "Why shouldn't I be kind? It's true Im not like most, but being polite and kind to new ones met...One should be polite and gentlemanly.", he stood tall and shook his head in a mocking dignified way he couldn't help but laugh at himself. "I also know what it's like, being frowned upon and treated bad by others. Im not the most conventional dreich around. Im only tolerated when I get to look after eggs and young ones.", he smiled thinking of playing with all the little ones. It made him look forward to being a dad one day. He gave a small laugh and smiled brightly at Annaika.

She smothered a giggle with the tip of her wing when Mirmir drew himself upright and lofty, " You look like my father that way, all proper." Her eyes were lite with her mirth and it made her truly pretty, in a gentle almost innocent way.
" Well, I'm glad you're not typical, if you had been, you'd not spoken to me and then I might not know about butterfly tag." Annika's sweet voice was warmly teasing, a hint of shyness in it, " If..if you'd like company next time you watch them, I'd be happy to sing for them. Some of my favorite songs are lullabies. My mother taught them to me, and her mother before her. It would be a shame if they never got passed on. I should teach them to someone."

He smiled childlike and bounced slightly. "Im sure the butterflies would come from miles away if they heard your voice. I've been told I have a nice low mellow voice when I sing, but Im not very good at it.", he gave a shy smile of sorts and laughed a bit.
"Id love to learn your songs, maybe that way I could sing them with you, if I don't burst any ear drums. I especially love to sing as the sun sets. I look out over the ocean from my special spot and let the words that flow from my heart to the ocean.", he had a very soft expression and was feeling sentimental and calm just thinking about it. It made him think of love, true happiness, and he dreamed of having a family every time he watched the sun set to reveal the stars reflecting their light into the ocean. He was a romantic and he knew it
