Raven slowed shadow to a trot and raven jumped down shadow grazed as raven found a tree and pulled her self up

Carl halted Valenciago a couple of meters away and tied him up to a tree with enough rein to graze. He watched Raven for a little while from the dark and then slowly emerged, making himself known. "Well hello there" he said softly

Raven got jumped scared as shadow just lifted her head and went to Valenciago "hey what's up?" she asked carl

"Oh, nothing, i just noticed that you had left and thought i'd follow you" he said stepping closer so they could lower their voices. Valenciago tossed his head up and reached his neck out to meet Shadow, while pawing slightly.

shadow stretched her neck also sniffing Valenciago.

Raven blushed "sorry if I woke you up" stop no don't you dare stop blushing! she mentally yelled at herself

"Oh! No don't worry about it. Valenciago does it all the time." Was she blushing? No, it must be the moonlight. The moonlight... How nice she looks in the moonlight, the way it carches on her hair and casts shadows across her face. Wait-what am i thinking?! "Are you ok? I mean, I'm guessing you don't just gallop off into the night regularly" he chuckled, as Valenciago sqealed and struck out at Shadow-as a stalion does when meeting another horse, especially a mare!

"Actually, I dont it has just been a rough day with that kidnapping it brought up some trama that I went through" oh my god the way he looks at me the moonlight on his brown hair the way it looks like he cares... god I shouldn't think this he's my trainer! shadow tossed her head as Valenciago squealed and kicked out she walked a bit closer to Valenciago

"Oh, i had no idea! Would you like to be alone? I don't want to be here unless you are comfortable with it!" Why is she looking at me like that? Is there something with my hair?! Oh gosh i hope not! The last thing i would want is to look ridiculous in front of her! But the moonlight reflecting in her eyes just makes me feel at peace... Oh god no. Are you catching feelings?!

Valenciago tossed his head around a bit then settled down and went to start grooming Shadow

"you can stay plus shadow is making a friend" she smiled glad that he was kind like this he looked panicked is he ok, oh lord he's looking at me I kinda like it no no no I can't catch feelings stop turn it off your an officer knock it off!

shadow started grooming Valenciago also

"Yeah, she is" he said quietly. There was a pause when they made eye contact and he stared into her beautiful eyes, as if in a trance. Emotions were flooding through him but he did his best to suppress and hide them. He broke eye contact and smiled weakly, then pulled himself up onto the tree next to Raven. "Do you want to talk about it?" he asked her even more quietly still, while watching Valenciago and Shadow graze together
