Ace of Spades
As Hicktown had caught up to him, Spade noticed how much more confident she had become, and he couldn't repress the gentle smile on his muzzle. She was a fast learner indeed, and Spade mentally praised the speed at which she had picked this up. It had taken a lot out of her though, and he saw a shiny sheen of sweat glistening on her coat. At that, he felt slightly worried for the mare, but was also quite relaxed. With this distance, no other horse would be able to climb to them and still have enough strength to fight. A sneak attack from below was now impossible. Also, with all the grass, Spade knew there was water nearby, so they could rest at the cave first, then get some water, before having some greatly needed sleep.
At her words though, Spade looked at her, worry bursting into his usually blank eyes. His ears were perked on her now, completely focused on the petite mare in front of him. At her preposition, Spade's ears immediately flicked back, showing his dislike of the idea. He knew that there might be something dangerous out there, and his instincts wanted him to be in between her and danger. He wanted to go along with his instincts, but the rational part of his mind spoke of the pros, and his ears slowly relaxed, before focusing on her again. Hicktown looked tired, but she was right in saying that it would be easier for her. Fighting his instinctive response, he snorted, relaxing. Finally, he nodded, seeing the sense in the idea. The stallion walked up to Hicktown, deliberating on what to say. There was so much he could say, but the socially awkward stallion was at a loss for words. Finally he touched his nose to her withers, nuzzling her, before he stepped back. "Stay safe." He murmured quietly, before backing away so that she had access to a flatter slope which she could use to get to the cave.
Mostly just on rps now. XD
