For a time, Tashi was at one with the Meadow, or at least from her perspective that's the way that she saw it. Nothing else had existed except for her, these lush grasses, and the warm sunshine across her back. The grazing here far outweighed that she had experienced in the field which seemed to her as a more densely populated area, frequented more by the equids in search of companions and recruits for their homes. The forages there were grazed more often and by more horses. Yet perhaps it was only the difference in seasons. Tashi had not been here all that long herself to know if that was true.
Though she could probably be convinced she thought, especially if there was the promise of more exquisite days like this... and more first-rate grazing. Her contentment in her present situation remained blatantly obvious as she'd continued to pick at the tops of the grass, posture fully relaxed and dark tail flicking lazily over her dappled haunches. In fact she is so caught up in her own blissful world that she failed to notice that the rest of the world still spun about and sometime in the midst of her grazing, she had ended up near another. Tashi is quite oblivious to him at first - or if she did notice him, it was not consciously, not enough to truly click - but when the unfamiliar tone of a nearby voice broke the relative silence surrounding her, the mare abruptly paused and sought out the owner to the voice.
The mare's rich chocolate-hued eyes land upon the white splashed stud with apparent surprise, a few blades of grass awkwardly sticking out of one side of her mouth in the moments before she is able to compose her and remind herself to breathe. He could have been described as a handsome fellow, or at least he had been, with that catchy black and white pelt - it was almost the first thing she noticed about him, almost. What prevailed in her initial observation of him was his apparent battle weariness - for his coat was marred quite thoroughly with scars and scabs of varying degrees. She stares at him for only just a moment until realizing that she is indeed staring and shakes her spanish head as if to clear her thoughts."Well, I.... had been." The hint of a vaguely amused smile tinged the fem's youthful and warm voice at the observation and a bit of her own humor. "Not quite any more now." The buckskin shifts slightly so that she is angled a bit better towards the male, fluted ebon-tipped ears twisting forward and her brown eyes resting sharply on him in intrigue as she fell expectantly silent, curious of the battle-worn stallion's interest in her.
