The grulla mare was standing out in one of the fields of the territory. She had adjusted rather well to her new surroundings. She had gotten over her constant fear that something had chased her here or tracked her down. Now she was taking a leisurely moment to graze and think. She had plenty of things to think about. The foals, her new home, her herdmates, just her new outlook on life in general. It was like magic, how she had gotten used to things so well. Only, she had sensed a bit of tension in the air lately.
Firetail
Firetail came upon Mocha at a trot.Spotting the mare she smiled."Hi you must be Mocha.My sister Star Dreamer told me about you.How are you liking herd life,"she said with a smile.
Startail her daughter and Eclipse,Star Dreamer's daughter were playing togather not to far off.Giggling and bucking like two untamed foals should.

The young mare ripped away at the lengthy blades of grass, which she had noticed were exceptionally longer around here. Not nearly as long as at the Tall Grass Prairie, but it was delicious all the same. And there was no one to compete for it.
Her ears flickered as she caught the sound of hooves in the grass ahead of time, causing her to raise her head and turn her dark eyes in the direction of the other mare, a herdmate. She offered a small smile, though it was entirely visible. "It's very nice, I haven't felt this way in... I don't even know," she stated with something resembling a giggle, before looking off to the foals playing not too far away. She loved it here.
Firetail
Firetail smiled back at the mare."So that means you'll stay,"she asked excited now.She had always liked making friends.
Startail came over to her mother curious.Eclipse followed quietly.Rembering Mocha from when she was born she smiled at her.

Mocha turned back to Firetail and smiled brightly. Her ears flickered as the wind tickled about the inner hairs. She then gave her head a hearty bob. "Yes," she began, "I don't remember the last time I felt so free." she stated and then lifted a hoof to drop it again.
As the two fillies approached then, she offered them a newfound smile. She was no doubt happy here, and it showed. Genuine happiness, and she couldn't see it any other way now.
Firetail
Firetail looked up at the other mare."Thats good then.Our foals could play togather too,"she said refering to when she would have another foal and Mocha would have one too or so.
Startail nickered softly at Mocha.
Eclipse stood where she was listening to the conversation.It was the only way she was going to learn life in a herd.She was curious alot, and it showed in her eyes.
