Ethan & Hydra

Nightfall was on her way to his house now, along with Lissa and Blitz. The hunt had been successful, but there were casualties. Namely Benjamin and his mare, Hydra. While the leader was the hospital, Ethan had been instructed to take his trusted mare to the vet.

Having given Tom and Ben his truck, and sent Dan off with the other, Ethan had no choice but to walk all the way back to town, guiding Hydra along with him. By the time the two came walking down the street, Hydra was exhuasted and ready to call it quits. Her wounds weren't life threatening, but they were terribly sore, and she wasn't use to fighting.

"Easy girl, easy." Ethan spoke, stroking her muzzle as she bobbed her head and tried to pull away for a moment. Ahhh, she loved the attention! And with Ethan, it was so easy to get. After that stupid mare Nightfall... damn her!

Tying Hydra to a post, Ethan walked into the clinic and approached the counter, looking for someone to help him.

Aralyn

She had been volunteering here lately, anything to keep her busy and her mind away from....Home. She saw Ethan at the counter and was going to ignore him, but the secretary was out to lunch. With a scowl, Aralyn turned on her heel and marched towards the counter, her head held high and her eyes cool. Is there something I Can help you with? The vet clinic was short handed, and Aralyn stepped in where she could. She had her hand on her hip, a white coat was wrapped around her with a stethescope around her neck. She looked all right and proper so long as he didn't look into those burning eyes of hers.

Ethan & Hydra

Smiling pleasantly as he recognized the girl, Ethan dipped his head in a nod, "Good to see you again. Ben's horse is tied up outside - she got in a bit of a scuffle with a wild mare." He explained, glancing briefly to the door. "A few cuts and some bruises, but she seems to be pretty sore."

Outside, Hydra whinnied loudly, tugging at the rope in protest of being restrained. It was rare that Ben ever had her confined, and she absolutely hated it right now. But with her shoulder aching so much, the mix-breed mare didn't struggle for long. Here and there, blood was drying along her face and neck, where Nightfall had bitten her. Her front right leg and shoulder were bruised and sore, where hooves had caught her. Nothing broken, but with the way she was carrying on, she may as well have been dying.
