Pegasus (from the Marianna Mayer book "Pegasus")

[halcyon_pegasus]

An impossibly white, tall winged stallion stands in the Sorting Room. There seems to be a faint luminous light about him, causing an iridescent shimmer along his smooth fur as he moves. His head is held high, his feathered wings half unfurled. He is Pegasus.

"Oh, my goodness. How impossibly lovely you are," said Penny, reaching out a tentative hand to stroke Pegasus' nose.

[halcyon_pegasus]

Pegasus nickers and presses his nose against Penny's hand, flicking his ears forward, obviously interested. Solitary he may be, but he's always enjoyed praise.

"Ah, you beauty." Instinctively Penny's fingers caressed his white nose and ears, using her years of experience with horses to find the places he likes best. "How I should like to fly the clouds with you, if you will have me. I shall cast my vote for Gryffindor, in any case - such a heroic beast deserves no less."

She certainly must know a thing or two about horses, he decides, leaning into her hand when she reaches his ears, wanting her to continue there. Few things are more relaxing than a nice ear-stroking, after all. When she mentions flying, he unfurls his wings completely and nods a little, clearly not opposed to the idea of carrying her.

Here's a unicorn the size of a pony who talks, it's getting her to shut up that's a skill.

"You look like Twilight. But you don't have a symbol. Why don't you have a symbol?" It's a very cheery voice she speaks in. "I'm Gusty."

[halcyon_pegasus]

He leans down and nudges the unicorn's symbol with his nose, nickering, then shakes his head and spreads his wings slightly as though saying, I have no symbol and it should be obvious who I am. I'm Pegasus.

"Oh did you loose it!" She looked horrified. "Oh you'll have to come stay with me in Sparklypoo! I'm sure we can get you a new one!"

Re: Vote: Sparklypoo

[halcyon_pegasus]

Sparklypoo? Does not sound like a place he wants to be. She seems to be offering to get him branded or tattooed. He gives Gusty a puzzled look, but decides not to argue it.

*malicious snicker*

The applicant? Is a horse.

He gives a dismissive snort and looks away as if saying, at least I'm not a furry's wife.

[every_daae]

*absolutely delighted* Oh, aren't you just the most lovely thing that I've ever seen!

[halcyon_pegasus]

He nickers a greeting, ears forward as he paws the ground, appreciating the compliment.

[every_daae]

*shyly holds out a hand* May I pat your nose, then?

[halcyon_pegasus]

Pegasus very much appreciates when people ask before touching him. He presses his velvety nose against her hand, lowering his head so her hand will slide up his muzzle.

Of course, the next one to show up would be the horse. Of course, it could have been much worse... any of the gorgons or Titans would have been worse. It was just that horses were limited conversationalists in Zeus's opinion. Pegasus was better than most horses, but still... there was a distinct 'horse' element. "Hey, Wings. What brings you here?"

What? Just because good conversation didn't usually happen with horses didn't mean a god couldn't try!

[halcyon_pegasus]

He tosses his head side to side as if saying, a bit of this, a bit of that, and stamps a hoof, you know how it is. He leans down and snuffs at Zeus's clothes, attempting to find any pockets with hidden treats. Pegasus helped slay the friggin' mountain range of a Chimera with a mortal boy of all people, surely he deserves something.

[lazythunder]

Ah, the horsey trick of thinking with the stomach. Zeus produced an apple and offered it to Pegasus, on the theory that that would keep winged beastie nose out of his clothing. "Eris is here too, y'know. If she shows up, you'll probably be able to cadge apples off her as well." Eris always had apples. Nearly always.

Anyway, if she didn't, it had free entertainment potential.

[halcyon_pegasus]

He takes the apple and eats it contentedly, acknowledging the mention of Eris with a muffled snort. He's fairly indifferent to deities most of the time, but if Eris brings apples? He'll be her new best friend. Until she runs out, anyway.

Mantling his wings, he gives Zeus an expectant look. Treats do occasionally come at a price, and he's not opposed to granting the God a favour now. Retrieve a few thunder bolts, maybe?
