Tigress nuzzled Wildfire back. "You have impeccable timing," she commented, laughing. "It actually seemed kind of supernatural," she giggled. She was in a lot of pain, but she knew she'd heal up again, no matter how long it took. Then she pulled her head back from Wildfire's and looked him in the eyes, "Is the herd okay?"

Sultan looked over at her slighlty seeing her facial features change a little as he was curious what she had on her mind, He took one lastbite and raised his head and titled his head looking over at her some.

Arion looked up at Sultan. She tilted her head back in a curious way. The sun shone just the right way, that her eyes seemed to glow emerald green in the light. The black mare met the handsome stallion's eyes. She wanted to tell him so bad. Is it weird of a mare to ask a stallion if they want to be mates? Or does the stallion ask the mare? Arion asked herself.

Sultan then looked away a bit as he was thinking before he finished the grass in his mouth and cleard his throat a bit before he turned and faced Arion finally making up his mind. "Arion I have a question for you"

Wildfire chuckled lightly, then winced. Every breath moved his torn skin. It burned like hell too. He knew he would stay by this mare's side until they were healed. "Supernatural, huh? I suppose I just have good senses." He smiled and nuzzled Tigress. "I didn't really have a chance to ask about that... I went chasing after Myst and led her back to the plain, where Lilac was. Then there was this stallion in the distance. I don't know who he was, but his scent was the one I smelled before the fire. I was asking who he was when I smelled the cougar and raced back to you. I can only hope they are ok though." Wildfire's face creased with thought and worry. He really hoped they were doing alright. They were vulnerable without their alpha, beta, and Tigress. Farnight or Sultan had most likely been left in charge, and they were both strong stallions. But were they logical or sensible enough? Did they know how exactly to keep watch or listen and sense for danger? Wildfire sighed. He shouldn't be so worried. Lilac should be back to the herd by now. But he couldn't help it. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Everything will be ok...

Arion turned towards Sultan and stood up. "Yeah? What's up?" Arion asked meeting his eyes.

Lilac stepped out from behind the tree she was hiding behind, scenting the cougar was gone. She saw Tigress and WIldfire and rushed over to them looking worried. "O-oh are you both okay? I-I...are you able to get back to the herd? We can help you both there." Lilacs eyes moved from one horse to the other. Her eyes stopped on Wildfire, "Oh and that stallion you asked me about, his name is Brook. He helped me find you and he and Myst are going back to the herd. I would like to leave as soon as possible.". She snorted atthehorses in front of her. "Are you able to walk?".

Tigress looked up at Lilac, then back at Wildfire. She noticed he was hurt and her eyes widened. "Are you okay?" She asked, worried. Then without waiting for a response, she turned back to Lilac. "I think I would be able to get back to the herd, the problem is I would never be able to keep up with you guys. And if I got left behind I'd be in the open instead of a sheltered forest. Plus, the second I do walk, or try to walk, I break open this cut. I will never heal that way. I think it is safer for us to stay and you to go lead the herd onward. We can find you again, especially with Wildfire's supernatural senses," she turned to the stallion and nudged him teasingly.

Wildfire was suspicious. He hoped that stallion wasn't a threat. He took a deep breath. "I think I might be able to, even though it'll hurt like hell. We might have a problem with Tigress though." Wildfire looked at her leg. It was scabbed over again. He wondered if he soaked the scab then it wouldn't break on the travel over. He knew Tigress was right though. Neither of them would be able to keep up. He nodded at Lilac. "We'll be ok" He nudged her reassuringly. He grinned at Tigress's comment. He nuzzled her softly. He only hoped she was right.

Lilac nodded, "Okay, well Its a ways away so I might get some of the herd to help you guys...I am so sorry this has happened. I will ask the horses i'm bringing to bring wet moss, those cuts look bad." Lilac stood up straight, she heard a rustle in the bushes behind her. A stallion came out of them, "Brook!" Lilac trotted up to him. "Hello Lilac." Brook looked at Tigress and Wildfire worried. "Brook...they are hurt, can you help me bring them back to the herd? Oh! Did Myst get back all right?" Lilac looked at the stallion. He nodded and walked over to Wildfire and Tigress. Lilac walked over to whispering so Brook couldnt hear, " Please...trust him, he helped me and he is wanting to help you.". Lilac helped Tigress up, letting her put her weight on herself so her wound didnt get adjitated. "Wildfire, let him help you up, your hurt and your the herds beta. We need you back at the herd, they are worried sick." Lilac gave Wildfire a pleading look.
