The large ebony steed galloped powerfully into his territory, his new homeland. He was proud of the place, it was truely beautiful and unique. Maybe not quite his style, but great nonetheless. A joyful neigh was emitted from his maw as he came upon a rocky knoll, that same one from when he had first entered the land, and his strong limbs brought his black body to a halt. His mane flung forward past his head as he turned his neck to look behind him, wanting Malibu to join him. "This is it," he declared, lifting his dial high as he looked back out over the territory below.

GALLIANT
Gallant steed.

As she left her hooves beat happily aginst the rocky path out. Traveling close behind Galliant, she grew excited. Hoping soon ther'd be other mares somwhere, or there. If not. She had more time to enjoy with Galliant, to learn more about him.

Her dapples shimmered in the open aired place. Her voids went straight to the lake. It was blue and looked pretty large. Mocha voids watched at Galliant. "Its stunning." She noted, keeping an eye on the lake ahead.

Galliant had his own eyes set on the wide blue lake below. He felt another surge of pride course through him, tingling and numbing his senses for a moment, or so it first seemed. With a deep sigh, he looked back over to Malibu and smiled brightly, "Glad you think so," he replied, and then nodded down toward the lake. "Wish to spend some time at the lake? There is one other mare here; her name is Crush." he then stated, wondering for a moment where the Curly was. He hadn't seen her in a while now and it worried him, though he felt there was really nothing to fret about.

Malibu's smile spilled on by sighlently with a sigh. Simply she nodded, happy still. Just sort of lazy from the trip. "I'd love to." She said, a grin crossed her maw again. She pawed at the ground playfully, soon enough. She bolted! Her short but lean and fast legs carried her far off, she was quite the speed demon. Her siver tassels bounced peticly off her neck, her voids glanced behind her, hoping he'd follow. Now...If she could find her way to the water.

Galliant gave a nod at her reply, a happy look on his features. No matter how alert he may have been at that moment, he would have never been quite prepared for what she did next. His eyes widened a bit as she suddenly bolted forward, which he assumed to go to the water. With a sly grin, he shot off after her, powerful muscles rippling beneath his slick black pelt. His slender legs brought him close to her, and he reached out with his neck to nip playfully at her back, carefully though. No need to trip over a rock or something. Then he eagerly came up next to her, hooves kicking up dust and dirt, and a bright smile heartily lit up his face. That's when he looked forward again and could just see the blue of the lake up ahead.
So he blazed along like a black flame, determination coursing through him as he made a quick leap over a long extension of bushes to land neatly on the opposite side. Even then, he didn't stop till he eventually reached the edge of the water, and went to turn his head to watch her. He took deep smooth breaths, his chest and sides heaving with the precious oxygen.

Maliu's strids lengthened. As she ran her banner smtreamed behind her. Like she had a curtain strapped to her. Voidits carefully danced over the the land, spotting th lake she continued to bolt. Bolting as quick as possible, her hooves clammered into the earth, kicking up peices of dirt. Tossing specks of land behind her. Whoah. She was feeling speedy. She slid to a sleek stop at water's edge. Her sides heaved for breath, her neck was slightly lathered.

Dipping her muzzle, Malibu sucked in the auqua. Her plush dripped clear drops of water. She watched him, sipping up some more water.

"Good run," he spoke as he quickly turned to the lake and dropped his head down to the water, dipping his equally-black maw into the cool liquid. He eagerly began slurping it in, swallowing quickly to enable himself another gulp. He relished in the feel of the water chilling his warm throat. He though he could even feel it dropping in his stomach. It wasn't until after about 5 minutes of nothing but drink that he finally lifted his head and patiently waited for Malibu to finish.

The grey damsel was finished in a few minuts after gulging herself full of the tasty water. Sleekly she raised her platinum dreambox from the water. Still dripping with water, splashing almost sighlently back into the lake. Her banner swished a few times, snapping more like it. Her audits swiveled at his words. "It was fun." She stated, glancing awayb briefly. Malibu finally felt...At home.

Galliant adopted another smile, happy. He gave his banner a flick as he started forward, taking high steps into the water until it was up to his knees. Then he quickly spun in the liquid, lifting his fore legs as he did, splashing small waves in Malibu's direction. He chuckled as he did, flinging his wet mane and tail around.

The lean, Arab like Welshie snorted. Her banner was a little wet from his splashing. Two can play that game! Her mind raced. Beginning to paw at the water, testing the temperature. Nice.And.Refreshing. She splattered in his direction. Bits of clear,fly liquid aimed at his forelegs.

Galliant stood there with his legs splayed out slightly in the water, readying himself for her own watery assault. When it finally came, and the cool liquid splashed across his fore legs, his face lit up with determination and he gave a small buck, shooting up some more water all around him. His wet black pelt began to shine and gleam as the sun reflected off of it, giving him somewhat of an ethereal effect. Half of his soaked mane and tail were sticking to his sleek frame as he bounced around in the lake, splashing water and creating waves over the shimmering surface. It wasn't until a few more minutes that he finally took his first step out of the water and onto the now damp shore. His large hooves sunk into the dirt a bit, getting matted with a layer of sandy particals. He took in a few more deep breaths and looked to Malibu.
First things first. He knew he had some priorities to tend to, and could think of one already. "I was planning on going out and getting the herd an affiliate. Want to come along?" he suddenly asked, shaking his body like a dog and shooting droplets everywhere like rain. He had heard of a group of deer that may be nice to get to know, especially in times of need. So there he stood, waiting for her reply, hoping she'de want to assist him in the task.

Her bodice dripped wet randomly on her forelegs, chest, and sections fo her haunches and neck. She gave her lean frame shake. Her mane wrapped around her neck, until she shook it gentle again. Now sticking to the sides of her muscular nape. Her haunches grappled, thrusting her legs porudly out of the water behind Galliant. She admired him. She liked him alot. She even sort of had a little crush on the guy. Her large,firey pools studied his features as he spoke. Answering with much enthusiasim..."I'd love to! Where do we start?" Malibu started, her voice grew more and more excited, yet she answered slowly. Giving off the essence of a very sophisticated contessa.

Galliant looked at her with a bright smile on his features. He was a bit startled at her enthusiasm, but gave a nod. He was entirely oblivious to her actually liking him, at least in such a way. That'de probably startle him even more, as unknowing as he was now. "It's a deer herd, I've heard of it earlier. They live somewhere called Oak Prairie," he answered, never having heard of it before, though sure he could find it. "I'm sure I could find it, but it'de be best to start now, just in case," he stated with a grin, and then turned to canter off, out of the territory. He was sure she'de follow.
