"Okay. Ill come right up with you in a second Gunya." she said with her talking to the stallion tone, wording her words specifically to hopefully make the new mare realize who she is dealing with.

Once Gunya started she waited until she was out of Gunya hearing at the back of the herd with the new mare.

"Hey you little shit. What are you doing here other than trying to find a herd where you can be the lead mare. Well hate to burst your bubble but that roles already filled and trust me, you'd rather not cross me sweet stuff." she said to the mare with a grumpy tone, as if she didn't like the idea of any new mare being in the band, pinning her ears back at the mare and giving her a move out of my way nip as she walked up to Gunya again

(Lol "Hey you little shit." XD)

_________ Amira | Band A

The mare smiled at Thistle then began to hungrily graze the grass again, happy to finally feel safe and less alone. Amira lifted her head as a new mare approached her, a Grulla, Navi. Amira greeted her with a friendly smile, but that smile faded to nothing as Navi spoke, her ears fell back and she lowered her head in submittion letting the Grulla mare know she meant no harm, she shook her head "No, i'm not here to cause trouble i promise!... I didn't know this band HAD a lead mare, but trust me when I say I reeeaaaaallllyy don't want to EVER be a lead mare! That role is for stuck up mares... I'm not one of them!"Amira tried to explain, she really wasn't looking for trouble... Was this herd trouble? Amira whimpered a short whinny when Navy nipped her and bunny hopped forward and trotted to the other side of the herd, head slightly tossing unpleasantly. -What was her problem?- The tobiano mare thought to herself watching the 2, Navi acted like Gunnya was a prized possession... But Amira heeded the warning, she would stay clear of Gunnya if it means Navi would be nice to her. She grazed while staying alert for more aggressive mares, her head shot up at Gunnya's order to the band, as the mares began to follow Gunnya, Amira waited till they all got a head start before following them, wanting to keep her distance and remain out of their way. Every now and then she'd turn to look back, making sure no stallions tried to sneak up on her or take her.

(lol i'm sure the drama will continue to develop XD)
Thistle | mare | 4 | red roan with a white snip | Band A |

Thistle side-stepped for a few paces, giving Gunnya room to fall into step with her and Amira. She was happy to speak with him, as she hadn't had much of a chance to do that today. Though...this wasn't time for idle chatter it seemed. The ear closest to him turned, her attention partially divided between the stallion and her surroundings "With Navi?" her tone was measured "I'm sure everything will be fine, she's just touchy with the new arrival. If it gets worse...I'll let you know" She knew very well that habit of Navi's, hiding what she really felt from Gunnya only to take it out on others. She might even do a good enough job of it to continue picking on the new mare without the lead noticing at all. Thistle wasn't too worried about that happening as Gunnya was observant, but when he was focused on other things..
.
Things like the moving of the herd, the safety in unknown territory, and keeping track of a newcomer, anyone could miss small aggressions and before you know it someone is injured "You left earlier, did you find anything that made you want to leave faster?" Thistle asked after a few moments.
.
When Cinder approached she nickered a greeting, turning an ear towards her to ask if she had anything she wanted to discuss. Maybe hopes for the new ground, her thoughts on Amira? How she was feeling about the upcoming season.

(So, uhh, idk how I did, but, I'm done! Yippie!)

_______ Amira | Band A

Amira flicked her audits listening to the hooves in front of her and the quiet behind, she caught a distant scent and looked around, not seeing where it came from, soon enough the scent faded. Leaving the mare confused and slightly agitated, she sped up her canter a little to keep up with Thistle. When Gunnya pulled up in between her and Thistle, Amira snorted and canter-side-stepped 3 meters away from the stallion, not wanting to be too close to him incase Navi saw. Her ears swivelled listening to Gunnya and Thistle, she sighed and spoke up "No Gunnya, nothing's happening with Navi, she just misunderstood me! That's all. But everything is fine..."Amira called to him, she didn't want to be honest about Navi's rude introduction because she wasn't wanting to make trouble. Amira went quiet after that, not wanting to say anything else, she saw Cinder and gave the mare a warm smile, leaving Thistle and Gunnya, and edging near the bay mare "Navi like this with all mares?" She asked curiously

_______ Midnight | Band B

After watching Bracken for a while, making sure he wasn't acting sketchy, the blue roan mare returned to nipping the soft grass under the forest trees. Once the rain stopped, Midnight cautiously came out from under the trees, glancing back to see if the other mares would follow, she didn't go far, just enough to get the nice warm sun on her back, Bracken was new to them and had moved the herd into the trees for a reason so Midnight didn't dare go too far from the Band and the treeline! She lowered herself down to the grassy floor and layed there rolling in the dirt to get a itch

Bracken | Band B | Stallion | Mares: Arika, Midnight, Royal, Kiki


Bracken arched his neck proudly as Arika seemed to accept his tentative greeting, a soft snort coming from him as he took in her scent. He was steady, refusing to jump back even as she let out a small squeal. Once the younger mare had settled, he moved forward again, head coming to rest at her shoulders as he began to gently nibble and nip at her, carefully removing any mud that might have been thrown up onto her golden coat when he had pushed the herd. He had settled into quietly and contentedly grooming Arika, his ears flicking and swivelling as he did so, always watchful and always nervous that another stallion might make an appearance.

He lifted his head and watched his small group of mares, flicking his tail to swat at some flies that had taken flight now the mornings rain was easing off. Despite the fact he had been enjoying bonding with one of his mares, he was keenly aware he couldn't just focus on one of them, nor did he want to. Turning his head slightly, he lipped at Arika's neck, close to her head. "I need to go and check on the others." With that, he turned away and headed towards the mare that had made her way out into the low plains by the copse of woods he had left the herd into. This blue roan mare, Midnight, seemed weary of him, not that he could blame her, he'd spent the first few months of his leadership constantly pushing and moving the mares, leaving very little time for getting to know them. He was trying to be better now, with breeding/foaling season coming up he knew he had to present himself as a leader and sire that cared about his mares and foals, letting everyone relax and fatten up was a key part of that, the more energy they had before any babies came along, the better.

Turning his attention from his thoughts to Midnight, the stallion wandered over, stopping a few meters from the rolling mare and lowering his head to graze near her, too worried about her and his band to not be present when she was out in the open. His ears swivelled towards her as he dropped his head to graze, a silent invitation to join him if she wanted.

Arika | Mare | 3 | Palomino w/White Face & Socks | M; Bracken, Midnight

.

Her head moving back and forth as the palomino mare groomed Bracken shoulder, her teeth scratched any itch he might've had and removed any dirt from his fur. As he groomed her coat she felt a whole lot better as the itch on the mares shoulder was attended to, you could hear the horses lips and teeth against each others coat as they groomed each other. As they finished she felt a bit more comfortable around Bracken now she could trust him not to attack while she had her guard down, she nodded as he spoke watching as he went to check on another band mare.

.

The strands of her pale tail swished through the air as she adjusted her stance for comfort, stretching her jaw open the palomino yawned to release any tension from before and licked her lips as her jaw relaxed once more. A few steps forward she observed her surroundings before lowering her head to take some reeds of grass into her mouth grazing, the reeds snapped as they were brought into her mouth moving around seeking more. Her ears flicking over hearing movement, turning her head towards the sound she could see one of the mares rolling. As much as she wanted to roll the ground wasnt in a condition for her to roll without her coat turning brown.

She lifted her head as her jaw worked to chew her food, a reed of grass hanging from the corner of her mouth. Her head moved quickly to her side as she shooed off a bug that nipped at her coat, her shoulder twitched in annoyance before she shook off her body to send it flying.
