Baltic was taken aback for a second then realized something was ailing her. "No its fine. I'll ask Stormfire to bring more water for us both." She offered, genuinely meaning it. She pranced in her spot and the moved more centered in the pen, she shook off, deciding some excersize wouldn't hurt. Much. She joined Dusty, beside her in trotting around the pen.

He nodded once at Corvan when he came over with Evela. I hope this helps him relax a bit. He kicked the ball to one of the foals, and they all ran around for a while. It was nice to act like a colt again - he was only 3 years old, after all. He was careful not to hurt any of the foals, and was glad to see that corvan was enjoying himself. At least, Stormfire thought corvan was enjoying himself. Ash bounded up to them and he kicked the ball of moss to her.

Ash/Herd filly/Mnt/M - Stormfire, the foals,

Ash nosed the ball and then kicked it to Evela. She gave out an excited giggle and the waited for it to be kicked. She bounced around in small cyrcle.

River/Herd mare/Mnt/M - Stormfire, the foals, Corvan

River watched as the foals played with Storm and gave a small smile while she stood in the shade. She then watched Corvan and shifted her wait. She knew that the stallion didn't like Stormfire very much but suprisingly was near him without picking a fight.

"Thanks," Dusty murmured. She stayed silent for awhile and slowed her pace to allow Baltix to keep up with her injured leg. She finally spoke. "You know, you could've left with Stormfire when he escaped. You didn't have to stay here. I could tell that it was a hard decision for you but you chose to stay. Why?"

Arion opened his eyes to harsh sunlight and squealing foals in the Mountain Herd. He groaned and got up. Why do those things have to be so loud and.... snotty. He walked into the Mountain Herd's grazing grounds and approached the running foals. "Oi! Be more quiet, sound travels well across the prairies!" He watched Stormfire appear and play with them. Ugh. He should be making them quiet. He glanced at River and Corvan, who were watching. Arion snorted furiously. They should be helping keep those snotty things under control.

Baltix was keeping a steady pace, then her leg wasn't to happy, Dusty slowed down so she did too, it helped. The question made her think for a moment. "Dusty, I couldn't jump the fence and the gate wouldn't move. I still can't jump the fence, I had no choice." She was working up a sweat doing this, limping took energy. "I told Stormfire to leave for his sake. If I hadn't, he may have been caught again." She summarized the reason for her not leaving. Her ears pinned slightly. "In fact it was the hardest decision I've ever made.." She said, quieting down. "Why'd you stay?"

"Oh please, I'm sure you could've if you wanted to." Dusty teased. She blinked, noticing Baltix's appearing sweat. Is trotting too hard-? I feel like I should slow down. But then she might feel as if I'm going too easy on her. "I was curious. The horses with humans on their backs always seemed content, and I wanted to see what they did to them to make them so carefree and happy. We've always been slightly struggling in the prairies, even before the fire. But it's been hard lately."

Baltix huffed and rolled her eyes jokingly. "That may be true, but I have to be very careful. Putting to much pressure on it may make my leg snap in half." She said with something that sounded like a laugh. "You have a point there.." She murmered. "I do think that's a good idea. Just.. I would've rather watched from the outside, not spy from the inside." She said with a challenging tone. "Those horses are strange, especially the blood bay. He seems.. uncomfortable in my presence." She said, genuinely confused. She looked over to look at him, he was still sleeping. She looked at him differently, he was actually a handsome stallion she thought to herself.

River/Herd mare/Mnt./M - Arion, the foals, Stormfire,

River watched the foals and Stormfire when she knowticed the stallion getting up. She pinned her ears when he shouted and quietly walked out of the shade and gave him her death glare. "Why don't you just go and leave them alone." She shouted back at him. She hated snotted stallions and wasn't going to the foals to take orders from a snotty colt. She stopped about halve way. "Its time to be up anyways." she also pointed out at the stallion.

Ash/River's foal/Mnt/M - River/Stormfire/Arion

Ash heard the shouting and quickly hid behind stormfire. She never heard someone shout, and let alone at her. Then, when her mother started yelling, she stared in shock. The only time she ever heard her mother shout was when there was danger. She started to shake.

He pinned his ears at Arion, and then forced them forward to talk to Ash. "Its alright, Ash, he wont hurt you. He's just...always angry like that. And confused." He knew what it was like to feel angry all the time, but Arion was still a jerk. He really didn't like the snooty stallion. He noticed that River was just as angry as he was. Good. Maybe Arion will back down if he has two furious horses after him about this. He glared at Arion. "Why don't you pick on someone you're own size? Is it because you're too afraid to challenge a grown horse so you pick on the little ones?" He snorted and pawed the ground, careful not to kick Ash, who was pressed up against him.
