(She could meet Spade and Hicktown, if she's taking a trek in the mountains. XD )
Ace of Spades
They went along, slowly at first. One of Spade's ears faced his rump to hear how Hicktown was going along, whilst the other was perked ahead, searching for any dangers. Spade made sure not to go too far, and slowly, the duo made progress. Sometime along the journey, the rhythm of Hicktown's hooves hitting the earth got faster and more sure, and Spade found that he went along at a much more relaxed pace, not the slow, careful walk he had had just a while ago. Now, Spade's ears were concentrated on the road, just flicking back now and then to confirm the sound of hoofbeats behind him.
As Hicktown got excited, Spade felt a gentle smile form on his muzzle, and he nodded, though his eyes met hers, warning her to be cautious. It never helped to be overconfident, though her current openness was good. He felt happy that she started to explore, started to try out different places to place her hooves. Spade, now not as worried about Hicktown, placed a bit more emphasis on scouting for a cave, though he still looked back every now and then. One could never be too cautious, after all.
After a bout of climbing, Spade spotted an outcrop of rocks above them, and he narrowed his eyes. That probably meant there was a cave at the landing, so Spade nodded quietly to himself as he planned out a route. Right now he was not sure if it was occupied or not, though the scents on the ground seemed to suggest that they were alone. Spade nodded, bending down as he snatched up a mouthful of grass, feeling a little tired. It had been a long climb, and Spade was a large stallion. Heaving his entire bulk up unto the mountain against gravity was an arduous task, but Spade was used to hard work.
Looking towards Hicktown as she closed up the short distance between them, he spoke once more. "There's a cave, just above. I think it's empty, but I'll have to check to make sure." The dapple looked towards the cave once more, before nodding to himself and looking at her. "Stay here for a second, alright?" His voice was quiet, as it always was, and Spade waited for the palomino's confirmation, or views. Spade didn't want her up there, as if there was a fight, Spade needed space, and he didn't want Hicktown caught in the crossfire.
Mostly just on rps now. XD
