I held my head a little higher, "I'm fine, but you need to be more careful. You nearly gave me a heart attack." I answered Halo. I nodded to Canad as he passed me and turned my head to watch him. I listened to him talk to Halo and smiled as he looked back at me, a huge grin on his face. I walked down following Canad and noticed the new equid, Livius, glanced at me. I looked away quickly and pinned my ears back a little, why does every stallion glance at me? I thought unhappily, Why me? Why not find a mare thats interested or actually looking for a mate? I sighed and lowered my head to graze. I looked up as Halo strutted around looking orgulloso, I swished my tail and nibbled at the grass, yes he was a fine stallion but I just wanted to be friends.

As Livius awaited Halo's response, he watched Dolce follow her lead stallion down onto the field to graze. His brows knit in suspicion; was that an uncomfortable look about her? For all intents and purposes, the zebra-striped mare was ignoring both him AND Halo. It put a new light on things and as Livius turned back to face Halo, he felt his heart both drop further and lighten. Perhaps he needn't worry about her being interested at all.

((Yeah, more mares would be a huge drama boost. xD))

Halo

Halo snorted with a small smile, wistfully watching Dolce go. She was most certainly beautiful, but her heart would not be so easily captured. She obviously wasn't interested, for now. He turned back to notice Livius had been gazing after her as well. "Hah, I've been injured worse than this as a foal tripping over my own feet." he boasted light-heartedly, swishing his tail as he gave a small, awkward prance. His foot was bothering him, but he'd be dead before he showed it again. He was second in command now, he couldn't show weakness. Many a stallion would break their own leg for this kind of status... or somebody elses. "I'm just a little sore, it'll be better in a day or so." he smiled back, feeling something slightly off about the equid's tone. He mentally shrugged it off, gazing out over the hills. "I just don't understand why the Equid Catchers would journey this far east. They've never come this far before..." he paused, looking a little troubled.

Form!


Name: Maid Marian (can be called MM, Maiden, or Marian. Does not like to be called Maid)
Age: 4 years old
Gender: mare
Other: Maid Marian is opinionated and very clever. She has survived rather well on her own and has become very travel savvy. She left her birth herd for embarrassing reasons and so keeps these details to herself.
Rank: loner, she'll run into Canad's herd soon

(ooh, she is verrry pretty <3)

canad watched livius, he seemed distant. "livius, my fine boy, you are also welcome to join my herd. i wuld be glad to have a strong stallion like you, just don't go stealing my mares!" he said, jokingly, with a smile on his face. he was proud of his herd. he was a good enough leader, not too proud of himself. he walked away to stand by shadow, grazing calmly.

[Beewings]

(( She is very beautiful! ))


I nibbled the grass beneath my nose but I wasn't hungry just; troubled you could say. I swished my tail, I felt almost like I had made Halo and Livius...triste, sad. I thought about it for a second, I know they both are interested, but I could still be friends with them. I thought, looking up from the grass to gaze at them. Maybe I should go over and talk with them, I thought, but what if I just make a fool of myself? My thoughts churned around while I stared at them, I looked away then sighed and limped over. My heart pounded nervously and my steps were uncertain as I approched them. "So..." I began as I stood next to Halo, "Second in command? You're lucky." I said trying my best not to sound nervous and to put weight on my leg, but it was still too sore so I lifted it a little.

[LostGosling]

((Daww, I love that green eyed mare. xD She's on my list of favorite equids. ^-^ They're all so beautiful though, it's hard to have a favorite! X3))

Halo

Halo cut his eyes away from Livius for a moment, noticing that Dolce had returned. Mometarily distracted from the stallion's convo, he turned to her with a quiet nicker. His eyes secretly observed her limp as she made her way over. "And she returns!" he said playfully, smiling as he gave a small chuckle. "Yeah, I guess so. It's a lot of responsibility..." he trailed off a little toward the end, his mind swirling with the sudden grasp of how hard this job was actually going to be. He would have to make decisions for Canad in his temporary absence. He would have to make sure that Canad knew important information. He would be responsible for the herd if anything bad happened... His ears rotated in thought, and then his eyes refocused.
"I just hope I'm up for it, since I've spent most of my life drifting." he sighed, scanning the surroundings with his peripheral.

[maluruloki]

(( Oh my goodness, Maid Marian is gorgeous! I agree with LostGosling. Love those eyes!))

Livius nodded, half-listening to Halo. He knew better than to hope for the position. Maybe one day, a long time from now... The comment from Canad yanked his attention from the second-in-command and his violet eyes widened at the decree: he could join the herd if he wanted!
"Thank you, Canad! Yes, I would be honored to join. Thank you, sir," he repeated, nodding his head in an Equid bow of respect. If an Equid could have butterflies in his rumen, Livius had them now. Grinning broadly, he danced in place a second before remembering who was standing with and calming himself down. "Sorry, got excited," he muttered to Halo, still shamelessly happy. A little bit of a blush touched his cheeks as Dolce drifted over to them and spoke to Halo first. Livius...seriously...get a hold of yourself. She's not interested. He forced his focus back to Halo's mulling-over of his new promotion.
"Drifters would make excellent second-in-commands," he said, feeling the need to defend the idea of being a loner. "We come across many things that the herds don't and have to deal with them or...well, get hurt or die. I guess...maybe it's more complicated now because more lives are in your care," he added, considering how difficult it would be himself.

[nixxiona]

canad laughed at the young stallion's enthusiasm. he was glad to have a new herd member. he felt livius could be a very strong and willing helper. any mare to be his mate would be lucky. he was pleased with the way halo was handling his new role, happily. he was quite the social equid.

((sorry Ive been gone long day yesterday. Accepted BlueEyedKite))
Shadow looked at Canad. "Glad thats over." He blew air out of his lips relaxing.
Famous trotted out of the forest and surveyed her surroundings.
Heartz still a little shaken up stayed with her mother.
