Assailant -- Year 226

"But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura
Another Addition for the Herd [Moon, Any]

Moon watched Anahi, her body language had slightly changed; she tensed. This made Moon nervous, making her twitch her right ear a few times. She stood straight, picking her head somewhat up. She could tell the mares were a favor of Archam, most likely mares of his herd. She heard the quick snip about the over-eager stallions, bringing her wonder once again to what the stallions were like, what mares they had seemingly claimed, in their eyes, and if they commonly or ever fought over mares. She would ask later, not wanting to make an even worse impression on the two mares.

"The stallions when I was in the Field," Anahi answered. "A lot of them would come there to try and claim mares. Those who wouldn't go were impregnated by the stallions anyways. But during the summer and even very early autumn before breeding season, they were practically jumping out of their skin. I swear you'd think they were kangaroos and not stallions that have a job to protect their herds," the champagne mare clarified.
Anahi had also noticed how Archam seemed to glare at Ashara when the mare didn't greet him as she approached. Anahi chuckled, "Oh come on Archam, your ego can handle it just this once. Even we mares forget things at times," she chimed innocently, shooting Ashara a playful look.

Sensing that tension was building up again, despite Archam's efforts to quiet the mares, Anahi stepped forward, placing herself slightly between the stallion and the palomino mare.
"Let's not let anything get out of hand guys. I admit, it is stressful, but it was when I arrived to, and I'm sure it was for you as well Ashara. So let's let bygones be bygones and try to get along, huh?"

Moon swiveled her ears, looking at the mares. Polite or not the hint just seemed to make it worse. "Sorry, didn't mean to make things stressful." The slight sarcasm that ringed in her voice wasn't clearly directed towards a certain horse. She mentally kicked herself for letting them see her lack of compatibility with these mares.
The tension and awkwardness only grew. "Archam could you show me around a bit ?" She asked moving to his other side, pointing her muzzle down hill. She quickly found out mare fights were anything but tolerated by Archam, who currently was the only stallion she knew, and someone she could trust, or so she thought.

Anahi could tell that Moon wished to get a move on. She didn't know if it was because Anahi, or Anahi and Ashara together, had done something to make her even more uneasy, but whatever the case, Anahi wouldn't interfere. It wasn't her business after all. Archam could spend time with whoever he wished, and the same went for Moon.
Anahi had to respect that; she could not get jealous over a herd stallion, considering he had others he was courting anyways. The champagne mare looked at Archam, "I'll let you guys be on your way. I think it'd be a good idea if you showed her around, help her get to know the place. I'll head on back to the waterfall to check on the other mares for you while you show Moon around."

Anahi nickered affectionately as Archam stepped forward and nuzzled her neck as a sign of thanks. She returned the display, gently nuzzling his neck and nipping at a few bugs she could see were pestering him.
After he had agreed to show Moon around and walked off for her to follow, Anahi dipped her head as a farewell to Moon and the stallion before turning and heading back toward the river, intent on returning to her spot to get some sleep. |
