Wild and Free (Horse RPG) {Accepting Mares Only}

[IcepopCS]

"I have to admit, I miss them a lot. It's why I can't stand stallions. Because I don't want a new herd. I want my old one, my family." Her ears layed back and she snorted softly. "But I'm already too far away. Probably even in another state. I'm sure they've left me for dead by now."

"No Architect. If I know anything about humans from the times I've met them is that they don't give up. Especially if it's something they really want."

[IcepopCS]

"Yes, but that's not how it works on a farm. If a mount goes missing and they can't find it, it means it has been stolen or died. You don't look more than a month. It doesn't lean you don't care, it just means that it's over."

Fey
"The little girl you said that rode you." I said, "Did she not love you?"

[IcepopCS]

"Of course she did. She loved Brandy too, but that didn't matter. On ranches, you have other things you have to concentrate on. You can't look for a lost mare forever." She looked up and nuzzled Fey. "But, that's okay. Because I want to be with my new family. With you, Adessa, and Icey. That's what I want now."

Fey
I doubted it, but I just nodded and smiled kindly. I motioned towards the grassy field behind us, "Are you hungry?"

[IcepopCS]

"A little, but my stomach still feels odd. I'll pass for now." She walked in small circles, keeping awake.

Fey
I nodded, trailing off to graze in the meadow myself.

Icey's ears drooped with sorrow when he heard Fey tell about how her mother had died. So, that would explain how she knew to take care of ill horses. He was surprised though, that she hadn't been in a herd and therefore probably hadn't had a foal before. He grazed quietly while watching the two mares talk. His ears were turned slightly towards them and he listened intently to Architect telling of her past. Humans? Icey squinted his eyes at the few memories of humans he had. He didn't understand how someone could like humans, but it sounded like Architect was loved and taken care of. Competitions? Finals? These things were unfamiliar to him. His shoulders sagged when he heard her say she couldn't stand most stallions and didn't want a herd. His feelings were revived when he heard her call them family, but he hoped he hadn't pressured her too much. She needed time to get used to it, to leave behind her past... But it wouldn't be easy. It was love, after all, between her and the humans. And possibly the dog and kitten, too. Love is never easy to let go of. He walked over to them, to join them in their grazing.

Fey
I looked up as Icey approached, I motioned towards Architect who was still in the river. "I think she'll be fine. It doesn't seem to be bothering her too much." I explained, referring to the wound on her belly.
