Ears raised, the words uttered from the stallion's lips sounded foul at best as if to brush Orphax away like dirt. She screwed her young, unblemished face and turned. He has quite a tongue that one! Thought Orphax. Her face seemed to mimic her internal first thoughts of this unwelcoming horse. Although, next time he spoke he swapped his tone for one of questioning but not abrasiveness.
"Perhaps you would like to know,
That the tongue of my people is so,
We used to be weavers of words,
Poets and masters of song among the herds/"
"When danger came like thunder,
Rival herds cast us asunder,
I was torn from my family so sweet,
Thrust into the wild and off my feet."
"So you see stallion, I have nothing left. All I want is someone to show me a new home, a new life. Please excuse my poetic speech. It's a habit where I'm from." Orphax drew back and turned from the stallion. A few thoughts rolled through her mind. Perhaps trying to make a new life isn't what I'm meant to do. Maybe I should find the rest of my herd... Orphax turned her hoof depressively back toward the horizon.
"If I'm not needed
I can leave now if you want
If that is your wish"
