Dreamfinder
The pale-fawn coated mustang made his enterance in a gallop, flying through the grasses at a high speed. His dark hooves, surrounded in black fur that grew lighter as it went up the leg, pounded loudly on the ground. His light brown mane and tail billowed in the wind, spurred into life by his speedy stride. Dark, strong orbs scanned the land around for any mares.
The stallion slowed to a halt and caught his breath. His auds stood erect and listening for any sounds of interest. His muzzle quivered, testing the air for the scent of mares. And his eyes continued to scope the view, hoping to find a female or two of the equine kind. To announce his own presence, Dreamfinder bellowed out a loud neigh, and hoped for a response.
Fauve
Fauve was wandering, an unusual thing for her. She usually stuck close to home, in the Hidden Meadows territory, but all of her herd-mates had vanished, and now she heard the neigh of the stallion. She came galloping in, her usual shyness dispersed by her ultimate boredom. Coming up near him, she smiled and bobbed her head a bit in greeting. "Hello."
Dreamfinder
He turned to the mare, auds perked in curiousity. "Greetings." The stallion replied, trotting closer, "I'm Dreamfinder; whom might you be?" He wanted to make a formal greeting first, before inquiring about whether or not she resided in a herd.
Fauve
Fauve smiled, and turned to show her deep bay coat to advantage. The sun caught it, and the little dapples of white caught in the sun and glittered. "Dreamfinder..." she pondered the name, and decided she liked it. "I am Fauve." And she tossed her head a little, showing off.
Dreamfinder
He grinned a bit and arched his neck just slightly, trying in his own ways to look more impressive. "That's a very lovely name, for such a lovely mare. Does it mean anything?" One ear was thrown back, in alert for predators. But his eyes were tuned on Fauve, attracted to her beautiful charm.
Fauve
She smiled, and took him in, letting her deep brown gaze fall on him. He was handsome, and with such excellent manners. Her peaks swiveled to catch the words as his tones reached them. "Such kind words. Yes, it means wild and uncapturable."
Dreamfinder
He dipped his head a bit, "I would say no less for one such as yourself." Heh, he always tried to be so cool with his words. It was true though, that he was certianly attracted to this mare. And now he spoke of something that was high on his mind; he had recently claimed a terra. "Do you, by chance, have a home?"
Fauve
She smiled, just a little flirtatiously. "Well, I have a place where I have been staying, but I have no one to keep me company and I was really looking for another place, preferably with other horses in it."
Dreamfinder
He saw the smile, which brought about one of his own. "Well, it just happens that I've recently claimed a terra. I would be honored if you'd join me there, Fauve." The stallion said, then added on, "I'm afraid there's no one else there yet, besides me, but I know of a place to gain some more members." There was a mischeivious glint in his eyes as he spoke of this.
Fauve
This made her very happy. She whinnied her pleasure and reared just a bit. "It would be my pleasure, Dreamfinder, to accompany so fine a stallion to his terra." She too was well versed in the art of word play. "And I'm happy you asked." She added, smiling a tease at him. "Sure I'll come, let's go."
Dreamfinder
He tossed his head, catching the excitement as well. A short whinny was issued after hers, and a grinning-smile quickly adorned his features. "I'm sure you will love it." Dreamfinder said, stretching his head forward to nudge her muzzle in a friendly way before galloping across the prairie to lead Fauve to their home.
Fauve
She galloped off after him.
