There was an event on the horizon. One that would be social, and a bit easy to find an excuse to attend. Really, it was to celebrate horsemen so why wouldn't she go?
Oh yes, because she wanted to go with a horseman yet wasn't sure how to ask him.
She spent the better part of a day trying to think of how to ask him, if she should try to goad him into asking her (unlikely, the man did seem a bit thick), or if she should just forgo a date and arrive stag.
Lan eventually sighed, resigned herself to fate... and grabbing a few sweet cakes, made her way towards the death encampment seeking the guardian. She didn't think it would be hard to find him, but sadly, one tiny noble didn't exactly blend in and so the mild attention she got had her a tad nervous, gold eyes flickering around to try and find him without asking anyone.
Five minutes later started asking.

She asked and asked until finally, and ashen soldier told her to follow him, he'd take her to where the guardians and priestesses dwelt. Lan followed, frowning when her ears caught the faintest hints of a whisper.
As a guardian was sent to fetch her...friend, Lan set glares towards those who dared look at her and openly whisper or talk of her presence. A few shrunk back or retreated. Some just stopped talking or changed the subject- it was only one or two who remained unfazed.
Lan needed to improve her shaming face. She had an imperial reputation to live up to after all.
With Aeron's arrival she smiled, bowing her head just slightly. "Aeron." A small glance to the one who'd fetched him. As they didn't leave Lan's gaze turned to a glare and very slowly, the other guardian took his leave while Lan stared him down in silence.
Once the other guardian was gone-
"I ah. Well. I hope I have not come to you at a bad time. If so, I can return at a later date. My desire to visit was both unplanned and I came rather unannounced."
She shuffled, disliking the openness. "If not, might I um. Talk. With you that is. Privately. Or in a garden or something if you're prefer! I don't want to impose."
How did one talk to stallions one liked?
Lan had very little clue.

Lan's power of stare was impressive. Even Aeron was shrinking a little, though he had little clue as to why. It must be the power of the glare and it had a AoE thing.....
"Of course not, I was preparing my body for meditation, to cleanse my spirit and mind." He returned politely, looking at his tent. Should he invite her in? He didn't invite mares into his tent. It was a mess, surely she would find it disgusting...
But he didn't want to keep conversing out here with her, where perked priestess and solider ears were. And she asked privately...
"Of course, Please....Follow me into my tent." He stiffened considerably, feeling very much of awkward though it didn't show on his face. Once inside, he pulled out a plush cushion, laying it out for Lan as well as a back rest and arm rest that adjusted for her sitting pleasure....Gifts for when his priestess visited.
The tent was well...smaller then most, and bare of effects minus a few items. Some conquest gifts from his mother, some armor from his father. Fur and rugs littered the floor and a pallet in the corner.
"Forgive me, but I don't have much to offer as means to uh...entertain guest." Aeron sat on the floor, wings curling around him.
"What would you wish to speak of with me Lan?" At least in the tent, he could be less informal, even staring boldly at her face. it was such a nice and soft face as well.

Oh she'd interrupted him. Meditation wasn't something she was unfamiliar with and to have stopped him from doing so- Lan felt a bit bad for it.
Not as bad as walking into a room full of meditating elders but still bad.
Following him into his tent, Lan did send one look back out. She would kill anyone who dared to speak ill of her visit even if she had been lost.
The cushion was welcomed, the backrest and armrest making her blushs and shake her head. "Please no, no. A place to sit is fine. I don't need much else." He was being sweet to her in her mind, but then she also wasn't used to horsemen not of her clan treating her with such a level of servitude.
It was confusing.
Sitting down, Lan looked at the items scattered here and there, rolling over the armor and then the stalk contrast to object of her clan's designs. "It is fine, really. I did come unannounced after all." Smoothing her silks, Lan pulled the small tin of sweet cakes from the compartment in her sleeve, she offered it to him.
"For you."
"Ah, I wanted to, talk." As they were doing. She brushed a stray strand of hair from her face, looking up at him before looking down at her hands, fingers playing with the silk of her dress. "How have you been?"
Smooth.

Aeron made himself comfortable once she was situated and stared again at her features. For awhile he was trying to comprehend why one of nobility would visit her. Then it drifted to thoughts of why a mare would find a man, and well, they already were well acquainted.
Plus he didn't think she had come here for a marriage proposal, as such was most men's visits to ladies chambers and vice versa...or so his priestess said.
"You have a odd flush to your cheeks, I hope it is not cause of my embarassing tent." He shuffled a little, uncomfortable but only because of the movements, his face remained stoic as per usual.
The gift was recieved with confusion and hesitation, his large hands cupping around her small ones for a mere fraction of a second before the tin was placed in front of him. A quick...and again rare fleeting smile appeared before it returned to his usual facade.
"Sweets. You do have a sweet tooth do you not Lady Lan." He nodded, taking a cookie and biting into it. "Very good." He repeated, this time eating politely.
"Ah talks are important, and thus, I will give you my full attention." He scooted closer and stared into her eyes, "What ails you Lady Lan? How may I help you?"

Lan's arms were raised, dismissing it. "No, no. I mean, um, yes, coming like this is rather sudden and improper but I was sure to tell others of where I was going and when I would return and I even asked for someone to check up on me if I became delayed!" She rambled, blushing and moving her hands to play with some of her hair, running fingers through it.
"You're hardly lesser, I mean, technically but I don't.. think of you like that? Not that I think about such things often mind you!" She wanted to hit herself, her words foolishly tumbling out.
"Ahh... the festival is just.. It's in a few days and I was hoping to go..." She looked up at him, trying to suppress her blush as she made eye contact. "I have had no stallion ask me as of yet but I um, rather. You see..."
Oh emperor give her strength.

"Troublesome for a mare isn't it?" He gave a very faint hint of amusement in his tone.
When she pulled from his gentle hand holding, he let the drop and moved back, sure he offended her. he didn't let it show though, schooled to keep his face up.
Then she stood, flustered and embarrassed which made him feel shame for offending the poor mare. Or perhaps he had just flustered her. yes. He would hope it was the latter.
"Yes, A noble of your stead should never be late for things." He stood as well, escorting her to the open flap of his tent and holding it for her. When she passed by, he brought his hand up to touch her cheek.
"I will see you for this event later then, Lady Lan." he murmured, staring intensely before dropping the tent flap and secluding himself inside.

He was so much like conquest in the few ways he let his emotions show at times. Little slips, glimpses into his feels and not just a face that was not until a statue, carved and cold and made of stone. He was still living, still held feelings and thoughts and she supposed, it was why she found him somewhat attractive-he reminded her in small ways of things she was simply familiar with. He wasn't an utter 'alien' from another clan, he just..was. He was Aeron and she liked him.
As he held open the tent flap she smiled at him, knowing her face must have been pink if not an outright red. His touch made her gasp and reach up fingers brushing over his own. He was nice, sweet to her, and he made her feel things she wasn't sure she could handle but at the same time, wanted to feel.
From the corner of her eye she knew they had been seen. She knew already that seeds of rumors were taking root. She'd been foolish in that respect, bold even. But...
"Aeron?" She hesitated, opening his tent to quickly catch him before she left. A small dash, a jump for that little touch of height- The smallest of kisses on his cheek before she muttered a small thank you and fled.
Lan had been chided before for being brash and hotheaded, for being foolish in her decision making. Yet, for once she felt a bit freed. Rumors or not, she wanted to kiss him. And as she left, she told herself at the very least, that was one reputation she could keep up.
