Jewel went walking to the stream and walked in to where her back was covered with the cool water. She relaxed as the cool water lapped against her neck, she loved relaxing in the water to calm herself and clear her mind. She stood there calmly listening to the birds flying in the sky and singing their songs and the squirrels moving through the woods looking for food.

A light breeze blew through the field Fallen was in, it blew through his mane and tickled his ears. He started cantering around the field and throwing in little bucks here and there. He saw a couple fallen down trees and went towards them, jumping them just for fun.

The stallion watched her calmly, as he could obviously sense her uncomfortableness with him, he wondered if someone had hurt her in the past, taking another step back to give her more space, he rested a hoof, and dropped his frame to seem less dominate hoping she wouldn't keept fearing him, audits softly flicked as he listened to her speak

''You are very welcome'' he nickered with another sweet smile. ''The Swamp.... Hummm never been there before'' as he rose a brow in thought before looking back to her frame, ''Aren't you...'' though his audits softly pinned as he had gotten cut off. He sorta felt his heart drop a bit, at the fact she didn't seem to want much to do with him. He wasn't great at making friends, and he hasn't had any in a long time, maybe this wasn't a good time. He softly sighed, trying to not show his pride was hurt. ''I... I am sorry for disturbing you.. I'll just go, have a nice day'' he nickered, his blue hues flicked at her flushing frame, he allowed his hues to travel over her frame once more before he quietly walked away, curious to where the herd had ended up

She could feel her frame flushing, his words softly fluttering through her ears as she softly peeked from the corner of her eyes, to watch him walk away. Sighing, once he was far enough away, she picked her frame up to turn and watch him starting to head up the hill. A bit of her heart sorta tugged remembering the hint of saddness she herd in his voice before he departed. ''Ugh, your such a fool Taf!'' she hissed at herself as she stomped out of the waters, finally the swamped mud had left her coat.

Thrashing her short plumage as she shook the waters off her pelt ''The one.... the ONE stallion that even attempts to talk to you, you just crush him'' she hissed at herself, audits pinned as she soon planted to teh ground with a sassy huff, like some spoiled bratt. ''How does he stay so clean'' she nickered as she peeked to the hill once more and he was gone. Huffing around as she blew her forelock out of her face, she grabbed a bite of grass, trying to rid him of her mind, as she chewed rather annoyed at herself.

Jewel was relaxing in the water listening to the birds, she saw a spotted mare up the stream a ways, but she had never been super social so she just stayed quiet and relaxed in the water. She eventually got out if the water and shook off her coats before she started grazing right beside the stream.

.

Fallen kept running for a little before he went to the stream, he swam across it and then he started looking around on the other side, looking back frequently to make sire the herd was still in sight. He walked around and grazed a little bit before he swam back across and started grazing.

(Sorry, life got out of control.)

No Apology Needed Love, I totally understand. Life gets busy as mine is as well <3)

Jewel was grazing and relaxing when she heard someone talk and looked up at the stallion. She was usually pretty social, but when she looked at this stallion he reminded her of her foal that she has lost, his coat was the same colors, the markings were slightly different, and her baby had those gorgeous blue eyes. She just slowly started grazing again trying to keep her eyes off the stallion.

-

Fallen was relaxing by the water when she heard the stallion and noticed there was a mare grazing not far from him. "Hey." He said to the other painted stallion. "You aren't bothering me." He added as he watched the stallion step closer.

- Stallion - Age 5 - Cookie 🍪 - Mate: No -

The stallion happened to glance at the mare again, though it seemed she didn't acknowledge him, his brows barely furrowed as he wondered maybe he was just having back luck with mares, that or she was perphaps deaf. Tilting his frame, though he didn't want to disturb her, he looked away from as the deep tones from the other stud, caught his attention. A another smile painted to his frame, finally a friendly welcome he thought, as he paced over closer to the grey painted stud. "Nice to meet you, I'm Cookie, your herd is very big, are you taking in newcomers?'' he asked hoping he wasn't been too forward. Pink nostrils flared as he crept up to the river and lowered his own frame to take a drink, audits swivled before his hues went to the stud's frame.

(I'll Post Taffy Later On XD, she is still pouting)

(I'll just post Fallen to make it even!)

Fallen watched the stallion look over at the mare, he had seen her around, he thought her name was Jewel but wasn't sure, they hadn't ever talked or anything. He watched the stallion approach and then listened to him speak. "You also, I'm Fallen, I am not the head stallion, Patriot is." He said motioning with his head towards a tall buckskin stallion. "We are close friends, and I'm second in command. We are usually open for new horses, if you get on Patriots good side." He added as he watched tha stallion grab a drink of water. "If you get on Patriots bad side, then no herd within 60 miles will take you." He said, he was giving the truth and hoping he wasn't being to blunt.

- Stallion - Age 5 - Cookie 🍪 - Mate: No -

Cookie lifted his frame from the waters, feeling more relaxed shifting his weight knowing know that the stud before him wasn't the herd leader. Deep hues curiously flicked over towards the herd, standing taller as he scanned for the buckskin stallion who stood out very clear not from from the river. Audits flicked as he found himself looking over the stallion's coat before looking away. He let out a sliver of a sigh, feeling his own insecuries boiling up, he was not muscular at all like the buckskin or as built as the painted stallion before him but, Cookie did consider himself to be very to look at.

The words 'fallen' echoed in his mind as he glanced back over towards the stud who heeded the warning about the buckskin. Nostrils flared as he would make sure to keep out of the herd leader's way. "You have a very nice name" he grinned softly "I have sorta been searching for a herd... I guess... you could say" he muttered quiet akwardly, with a flick of his plumage, "Who's she?" he spoke at a whisper as he motioned his frame towards the older mare, not wanting to really bother her.

Mare - Age 4 - Taffy or Taff - Mate: Heck No! -

It had been a while as the spotted mare finally cleaned all the dirt and twigs from her pelt, sighing in almost bordeom as she laid her frame to the ground, the thoughts of her father's herd passing a bit of the time, she sighed as she lifted her frame once more no longer able to keep still, she almost wonderd if she was never meant to leave her family's herd.

Pushing herself up to her feet, knees popping as she groaned from picking her stiff body from the grasses. Huffing, as her forelock fell over her hues, shaking her frame to rid of them but it failed. Her short plumage flicked sassy as she looked around, it seemed to be a while since her last encounter with that painted stallion, audits swilved as she looked towards the near by hill, a scent of a herd grasped her attention in with the breeze. Not realling knowing where she was heading, she paced towards the hill

Grunting with each step she took "I am so not in shape for this" she hissed huffingly a herself before she soon reached the top. Pausing as her audits perked in almost beliberated shock as her hues feel upon the painted brown/white stallion she had met a while a go, he was talking to a very handsome grey/white stallion, and there was a painted mare and a huge herd not far from them all. She left a little gulp building up, as there was no freaking way she was going over there. She turned and started to pace closer to the far side of the open area, hoping to go undeteched by any of them, she lowered her frame, hoping to seem small, nostrils flared very nervously as she tried to move at a quick pace that wouldn't draw attention to herself.

Fallen watched the stallion as he talked. "Thanks, you too." He said as he flicked his head up so that the hair on his face would fall back with the rest, laying neatly along his neck. "I was search after I escaped into the wild, and Patriot found me and let me join." He added as the hair started to fall back into his eyes again, he slightly rolled his eyes, with his long mane it always seemed to be in his face. Fallen looked towards where Cookie was motioning. "Oh, that's Jewel. I know her name from hearing it around, but overall no one really knows much about her." He said as he looked back to Cookie.

.

Jewel glanced back to the two stallions by the river one last time only long enough to see them looking towards her, she put her head down and started walking away, then she picked up a trot, then a canter. She wanted to run away without being obvious about it, she didn't watch where she was going and she collided with a spotted mare who seemed to be trying to hide as well. "Oh, I'm so sorry." She said as she collected herself and took a few steps back.

Blue orbs settled back on the painted grey stallion, blinking softly as he soon merged himself into the cool of the waters, standing there on the slippery river rocks as the water rolled over his hooves and floated half way up his cannon. Breathing out an pleasured breathe of air, the cool waters was perfect. Plumage flicked softly as his audits perked "Escaped?" he nickered with a raise of his brow. He wasn't sure what all that meant but, it must mean the stallion wasn't born wild. That intridged Cookie. He slowly reached his muzzle out towards the other's pink nostrils flared as he locked hues with the stallion before, flicked his hues over to the mare. Seeing her starting right back, he felt his frame flush some red as he quickly removed his muzzle away from Fallen's space, swivling his audits back on the mare as she looked almost in shock as he watched her quickly starting to walk away.

His hues watched her for a brief moment, he wondered if maybe the mare was nervous to speak to him or maybe it was him. Curiously wondering if he was the problem, he looked back at his own body, as his hues traced over his pelt, was he ugly? he pondered, lost in his own mind.

Mare - Age 4 - Taffy or Taff - Mate: Heck No! -

Grumbling to herself, she kept a even pace of a trot, audits pinned as she moved along the edge of the plains, the long grasses wacking her legs as she snorted. Coming to an opening she paused, frame rose as she quickly glanced around "Thank Goodness" she let out a sigh of relief, looking back she could see the two stallions and the large herd but, she had made some distance. Flicking her plumage, with a satified smirk on her face for being invisible, stepping forward she began to walk, as her frame faced forward.

"Ah!!" she screamed as it was like a flash of white lights as she felt her short body crash into a larger equine. Feeling themselves getting tangled for a moment before they uncollided. Stumbling back, shaking her frame, audits pinned back "Hey Watch It!" she hissed through her forelock that fell over her spitfire hazel hues. "Oh..." looking up she noticed it was an older mare, who quick frankily looked petrified. "No, No I'm sorry!" she snorted in pleed, feeling a bit uncomfy for her actions. Audits flicked cautiously, nostrils flared a bit nervous as she stook another step back from the new stranger. "I should have looked better.... I was just trying to get away" as the words quietly fell from her muzzle, as her adverted her gaze down towards her hooves. Not really sure, what to do now other than stand there like an idiot, but, she was way more comfy with mares.
