Raven looked at him lovingly as he rested against her. "That was nice." She murmured. She looked at him with a sweet smile, audits listening to him. "Yours are really pretty reddish brown." She smiled. She felt herself getting lost in his again and she looked away with a blush. He thought her eyes where beautiful like blue sapphires? She blushed looking at him once more. "Oh. They can't be that pretty.." She laughed slightly rolling her eyes playfully as if she didn't believe it. "No it's not corny." She giggled. "It's sweet." She said licking his cheek. She swished her tail slightly trying to untangle the strands.

Vader gently smiled at the return of a compliment, he didn't think his eyes were all that great, rare maybe, but not that great. Most times red hues scared others, but not this mare. He felt his heart beat with happiness, he just made love to this mare and he couldn't wait to ask her to be his mate, but it needed to be the right time at the right moment. He knew this wasn't a game to him, but wanted to make sure she wasn't caught up in the feelings of what just happened. He really hoped she meant what she said, he didn't take love as anything to play around with.

He rose a brow to her giggle, he smirked "Trust me, they are that pretty, everything about you is georgous. I'd love for someone to ever try and take you away from me" he nickered in a serious tone yet in a sarcastic manner. "Why don't we get you cleaned up, hum?" as he tilted his frame at her before motioning her to follow him to the waters.

Raven smiled softly, her legs trembled slightly from their love making. She blushed hearing his tone turn serious suddenly and her audits pricked to every word. She looked at him a little taken back. "You mean....you would fight another stallion for me?" She asked him curiously and a bit naive at his words. She was a little sore and his suggestion didn't sound half bad. She nodded. "Yeah, that sounds nice." She said looking up at him. She straightened up then and followed him as he lead her to the water.

Raven followed him into the waters and sighed happily as the water came up to her hips. She waded in the water, closing her eyes as she relaxed and felt her sore muscles ease. She sighed happily.

Slender audits flicked back to the mares words, eyeing her in the corner of his deep red hues. "Of course I would, I won't let anyone harm you" he snorted stern. 'or touch you' he spat in his own mind, pinning his audits for a moment. He walked slowly for she didn't feel the need to rush. He knew she must be sore. He stood tall as she came to his side, he lovingly nuzzled her neck as he watched her wade into the waters. Audits slowly perking as he stood back for a moment to watch her, he smiled before following her in.

The day was still upon them, though the sun was playing peek a boo in between the clouds most of the day, it was still warm out and pretty. The waves of the ocean however, were realyl calm which was an added nice surprise. Large hooves softly waded into the waters as it rose on his body the further her went in. The stallion went until it rose to his bottom of his chest, finding the best part of the sand to stand on in between the pulling of the waves. His thick plumage floating on the waters, the waters were cool and felt so amazing as he could see the white leather of the sweat floating away in the clear blue waters, wiping away all his sweat. He let out a groan as he stretched his legs out in the waters, loweirng his frame down for a moment to get a quick sip of the salty waters.

Snorting loudly as he soured up his frame 'ugh, still too salty' he spat to himself in his mind. Audits flicked as he eyed Raven once more, watching her relax so peacefully in the waters with her eyes closed, hearing her happy sigh caused a smile to plant on his frame. Chuckling quietly to himself, he began to toss the water onto his pelt with his muzzle, softly grooming it into this pelt, enjoying the weather and breeze that softly blew against them.

Raven just stood there relaxing for a while. Her eyes closed as she let her sore muscles soak. The water was so clear around them both, that when the waters were calm enough you could see the fish swiming about. The mare opened her blue hues smiling at him gently for a moment. The sun making her crystal blue eyes glint gently in the light. "It's so beautiful here. Peaceful." She said softly looking back out to the horizon. The long strands of silky black trailed behind her rump floating on the water. She turned and began grooming the warm salty water into her pelt, cleaning the sweat and dirt from her coat with her muzzle as well. The long strands of her mane dipped into the ocean beside her, pooling together.

When she finished she sighed happily satisfied with being clean again. Looking down as some little fish swam between her legs as they schooled. A few of the small ones swimming off after eachother around the bigger ones and through her legs. She giggled. "Look..." She said. "They're chasing eachother around me." The mare added with amusement. She looked at them happily, holding still as to not startle them and scare them away. "They look like babies playing." She said. Her smile and amusement on her face changed then, fading slightly. She looked at him then with a serious look. "Do you think I could be....." She asked him suddenly. "Is it possible?" She looked at him quizzically.

The stallion was content in his grooming, he had finished when his audits perked hearing Raven's giggle. Red hues opened and peered over at her. Watching the school of fish playing around her legs, pulled a smile to his frame, he chuckled "I see." he nickered as he slowly made his way over to her, hoping to not scare away with baby fish. Reaching out to softly nibble on her forelock, he locked hues with her, tilting his frame some at her questions. "Well... it takes a few weeks to know if you would be pregnant, 14 days you should know and anything is possible my dear" he nickered sweetly as he nuzzled her frame with his own. "and if you aren't, we can try again.. I promise" he cooed as he soon began to exit the waters.

Raven looked up as the stallion came over. She watched him as he observed the fish as well. Smiling at his chuckle and response. She reached out and nibbled his neck back when he pulled away from nibbling her forelock. Her blue hues resting on his when he spoke. "I'd love that..." She replied happily when he mentioned they could try again if she wasn't. She really hoped she could have a foal of her own. She wanted to be a mother more than anything. "If we never get the chance to be parents, I'd be okay with that. But, I hope we can anyways. I've always wanted to be a mother." She said softly as she followed him out of the water and back onto the beach. She shook her coat out and walked over to him to groom him dry. Her long black tail dripping wet behind her.

The stallion waded out of the waters, droplets from the ocean dripping down all over him, je gave his pelt a shake to rid of the water, his soaked plumage flicking against the backs of his legs, snorting softly as he tried to carefully pace through the sands so it didnt cling to his body. Standing tall, audits flicked hearing Raven coming up to him, shifting his weight as he rested a hoof, letting out a sigh of happiness and please as she began to groom him. Nostrils softly flared as turned his frame to look at her "I want you to have your dream Raven, I promise I wont stop trying until I give you a foal" he nickered sweetly as he pressed his muzzle to hers for a moment. He knew there could be a chance she couldn't, but he wouldnt stop trying for her sake.

The mare looked at him gently and pulled back slightly for only a brief moment. Her blue orbs locked to his and she smiled. "I know. But if it doesn't happen it's alright. I'm happy with just us. No matter what." She said and licked his cheek. She went back to grooming his back gently, shifting her weight while relaxing a back hoof. She stayed like that for a while, just grooming him, giving him all of her attention. As she listened to his breathing and the waves crashing behind them.

She looked up seeing a group of horses coming down the beach. It was a small band. Audits pricked to the sound of their hooves digging into the sand as they moved quickly, most of them slowing once they got to the waters edge. A couple turned to look over at Raven and Vader as they stood up on the dunes watching over the others. Both looked to be stallions, one smaller than the other and a bit younger, most likely the band Stallions son. He watched Raven from the corner of his eye while they stood there talking to one another.

The stallion softly blushed at Raven's gentle lick. Snorting softly, he hung his frame low enjoying the groom session he was getting. Hues hung softly, almost mostly closed, content with her in this world, alone, he let out a low groaning sigh of happiness as his audits softly flopped in the wind, as he zoned in on the sounds of the waves, he could feel his pelt drying every minute in the sun, though it would be dark upon them in a few more hours.

Vader was half asleep when he started hearing thundering sounds getting closer and closer, his head popped up, audits went into alert, his first reaction was to glace over at Raven before his red hues caught the attention of a small band running along the ocean towards them. He could barely make them out, he stood tall, pressing his hooves into the sand, watching their every move as they got closer into view

A few of the horses went straight for the waters, others was roaming the sands for fun and for search of food. He felt like this might be a band of nothing but stallions but wasn't sure. Two particular equines caught his gaze up on some dunes, these he could tell were stallions, an older one and a younger one. They could be siblings or perhaps son and father. The thought of that duo made Vader's body tense. He stepped closer to Raven and as he did, he seen them watching the painted mare pretty intensity. Audits pinned flat to his frame in a warning, hoping they could see it, he softly pawed the ground as his plumage gave a thrash to his side in an attempt to show he didn't want to be bothered, he felt his muscles tighten as he didnt move his stance or gaze from the pair not for a second. "Be Aware Of Your Surroundings" he whispered towards Raven with caution in his tone, as his nostrils flared trying to smell the distance equines.
