Santana shared an appreciative glance around, before turning back to her. His teeth glinted in a shadowed smile as she quizzed him further on his home. Ischia was nice, but it was getting boring. "It's alright. Lots of sand and trees and parrots. The beach glows at night. I think you'd like it." The cream velvet of his nose wrinkled in a vaguely embarrassed way. His raggedy tail switched back and forth mildly, watching her expressions play across her dainty features.
The initial irritation had been replaced with interest as he described Ischia and its inhabitants. Clearly, the thought of traveling so far from home was a lucrative one to her. Maybe they had this in common, that lust for adventure. Every breeze held tastes of new discoveries, samples of what lay beyond sight. It was what brought him this far from the islands in the first place. Meeting her soft honey gaze with his own ice and fire vision. His muscled wings flexed slightly as her eyes slid over them. "Of course I can!" The discussed appendages flared out in wide display momentarily, only to snap back shut as her metamorphosis drew his attention.
Flames glowed behind his eyes as a sharp ache flashed across his jaw. In a blink fast trance his neck whipped up and over, trailing the sparrow-that-was-Venus in an arc over his back. Newly jagged teeth snapped just shy of brown tail feathers. For the space of a heart beat, the pale colt deeply wanted to swallow the little bird now perched on his rump. Just as quickly his lips covered the serrated edges of his teeth. His stomach tightened, suddenly a bit queasy. Had she noticed? It had happened so fast, he wasn't sure it had happened at all, except for the bitter tang of blood on his tongue. From his tongue. His neck was bent around until his nose hovered mere inches from her tiny body. "Uhhh... yeah, yeah, let's go." His wings stretched out again slowly.
Silty muck clung to his hooves as the leathery membranes filled with air, pumping hard enough to lift him skyward. Whether or not his avian passenger remained clinging to the fine hairs on his back was mystery. Right now it was the release of flight that he needed. Something was happening to his body, and he didn't like it.
