You may go in 3... 2... 1...
The group scatters and Tang is swept up in the excitement of the hunt. After a few strides the crowd disperses and she realizes she hadn't taken the time to find a partner. She scans her immediate are but instead of another horse she spots a pebble. But not a pebble like the thousands of pebbles she has seen before. A small cluster of turquoise pebbles sits ingeniously hidden in the crook of a tree at about here eye level. If she had of been hunting across the ground for pebbles instead of looking for a companion she never would have seen it. She gets a small thrill as she takes the little gems delicately between her teeth.
She makes a few strides Lakeward before she is momentarily at a loss. She can't carry a mouthful of pebbles for a week... beside her a small crooked tree is growing. The young mare glances around to make sure no one is in sight before using her hoof to make a small indent in the soil at the base of the stunted tree where she drops her first find. A quick search of the area yields a smooth black slate which she uses to cover and conceal her make-shift treasure trove.
On the move again she makes her way to the shore. She trots beside the waters edge watching for flashes of color but also simply enjoying the new view this land gives her. Soon, something crimson pulls her gaze quickly down. Red pebbles! She halts, admiring the way the little bunch of the sit like tiny scarlet eggs in a nest of stones and sand.
Halo... as interesting as pebbles may be they were nowhere near as interesting as this cloaked mare who had caught her daydreaming when she should be hunting. "Hello!" She laughs. But by now Tang was less surprised by each new feature Beqanna showed her among its residents. That wasn't to say she was any less enchanted by new traits she saw.
The mares approach is friendly and Tangerine smiles with her while she solves the awkwardness of carrying pebbles, momentarily forgetting her find. "Red pebbles! Yes!" She looks back down counting with a glance before looking back to the pretty feathered Mare. "I have four here but I only need one... how many do you need? Do you think we should leave the rest or take them? I guess if we come across someone else we could pass on the extras if we take them." All across the shore and surrounding hills she could catch glimpses of others searching for tiny pebble prizes. She figured they would run into someone else pretty soon.
EDIT: yeah ... I had her finding the wrong color pebble... so quick edit to change her first find to turquoise.
FACE TO THE SUN
Tangerine stood near the middle of the small crowed gathered in the cool morning. Her painted coat of white and gold stood slightly puffed up against the pleasant chill. Here bright amber eyes scan the mostly young horses gathered, she smiles warmly whenever she meets another's curious gaze. But she doesn't have time to speak with anyone before her attention is drawn away from the crowd. A spotted Mare appears and stands before the group. She stars speaking with authority and excitement and Tang's own mood heightens as she listens intently to the instructions given.You may go in 3... 2... 1...
