The mare started at the voice. She pulled her head up her ears pinning to her head as she appraised the stallion. He was uncomfortably close to her--perhaps acceptable for his standards but certainly not for hers.
"Back off," she rumbled at him, keeping her teeth bared. She didn't trust him. She didn't really trust anyone and a stallion was at the very bottom of her list of horses to trust. His smile was friendly but body language could be deceiving.
"My name doesn't matter," she snapped as she scented the wind. No other horses were due to appear out of nowhere to her relief. She took a few steps back. "What do you want?" The last was said in near growl as she slowly raised her head. The stallion wasn't big, a good sign if she'd ever seen one, nor did he seem aggressive. She could appraise the situation.
"Dijanni, was it?" she asked after a moment. "Come to claim the little lonely mare?" Her voice didn't lose its aggression as she stared at him suspiciously.
