Tom

Tom's pickup bounced down the gravel lane towards his boss's house, with the rusty trailer and its two prisoners clattering loudly behind it. He pulled up to the corral Ethan had in the side yard and proceeded to drag lashed Savannah and Coltrane into the confined space.

"I'll be damned, you're Harth's foal, aren't you?" The older man chuckled as he lugged the bound-up colt into the pen, noticing the brand on the youngster's ebony pelt. With the gate latched securely behind him - because Ethan had given Dan hell earlier for his mishap with Cynical - the fellow began to untie the pair of foals.

Coltrane

Coltrane snorted as he was freed he aimed to kick the man his ears back

Savannah stayed laying down even as her legs were untied **Coltrane wheres mom I'm hungry** she whimpers

Tom

The hoof connected with Tom's shin, and the smart thunk of the hit was drowned out by the hoarse shout from the white-haired fellow, "Dammit, you son-of-a-bitch!" A further few choice words spilled from his mouth as he aimed a half-hearted swat in Coltrane's direction while briefly clutching his affected leg, before hobbling towards the gate to make a hasty retreat from the pair.

Coltrane

He snorted at Tom and kicked at his hand ** not here**

Savannah watched the man warily

Ethan & Others

Coltrane and Savannah were left alone after Tom secured the corral and stumbled away, still muttering heatedly under his breath. At one point, a massive canine wearing a spiked collar approached the pen, sniffing curiously at the air as he eyed the pair of young horses. Sporting a few bandages and a heavy limp, it was clear this Yellav shepherd had recently been in a nasty fight, and didn't linger by the corral long before moving on towards the barn.

Some time later, Ethan returned to his home and handed the reigns of his gelding to Dan. The younger man lead he and Ethan's horses away to their stalls, while the taller fellow went straight for the corral to see how the two new captives were doing. "Dan! Fetch up a bottle of milk, the filly's too young to be on regular feed."

Coltrane

He stayed by Savannah who was laying down exhausted. He was in protective mode as well. His nostrils flared as the man he barely knew, but knew came up yelling to probably that other man. He plastered his ears back and turned so his hind end was facing Ethan.

Savannah was exhausted from everything her little ears back. i want to go homeShe said. She watched the man warily wanting to get up and keep her distance but too hungry and to tired to do so.

Ethan & Others

Ethan slung the pack from his shoulders and clipped the taser to his belt. Then he leaned on the edge of the metal fencing and watched the two, quietly observing them until Dan returned a few minutes later with a warmed bottle of milk. He slipped into the pen and moved towards Savannah, with brisk, determined strides. He was wise enough not to walk directly behind Coltrane, and ready at a moment's notice to punish the colt with a healthy charge of electricity should he attack.

Dip returned at this point and sat down outside of the corral, watching his master work. Ignoring a word from Dan, the big hound kept his eyes trained between Ethan and Coltrane.

Coltrane

Coltrane didn't trust this cruel male so moved to position himself between Savannah and him

Savannah struggled to her feet when the male made it clear he was coming her way

Ethan & Others

Ethan didn't slow down when Coltrane got in his way. Again careful not to place himself directly behind the growing colt, Ethan gave the youngster a hearty shove to try and displace him, and if that didn't work, he'd employ the taser against Coltrane's flank.

Coltraneee

Coltrane stumbled a little at the push but it wasn't till he got zapped did he move his nostrils flared as he tried to shake off the feeling of the taser.

Savannah wanted to run but her legs were soo tired and she was so hungry.

Ethan & Others

Ethan kept a sharp eye on Coltrane. The man was not going to tolerate disobedience from the youngster, and cold look he leveled the colt with made that clear.

Turning slightly, though still keeping the elder foal in his peripheral, Ethan aimed to grab and lift Savannah's muzzle upward and force the bottle into her mouth..

Coltrane

He was not phased by his state. He left him but if savannah cried out in pain he'd attack again. He did stomp a hoof. His ears back

Savannah butt was against the fence no where to go when her face was grabbed and forced up. The weird thing placed partially in her mouth her nostrils flare at first not drinking but a drop lands on her tongue it wasn't her mother's milk but she was starving so started to drink

Ethan & Others

Ethan's grip remained on Savannah's face until she'd drank enough to satisfy him. He spent but a brief moment look her over up close before moving briskly away from she and Coltrane, and slipping neatly out of the corral. Dip accompanied his master as he retreated to the barn, and then eventually back to the house, leaving the two foals alone.
