Greet -- Steel Dream, 19:04:45 02/01/03 Sat [1]
A stocky chestnut Welsh Cob trots over to the youthful buckskin, greeting him with a warm whicker. "Welcome to my home, sir. My name is Steel Dream."

Nods. -- Desert Thicket, 21:33:29 02/01/03 Sat [1]
"Thank you! It's nice to meet you." Thicket suddenly realizes that he is speaking the the King and he bows. "Your Majesty!" The buckskin looks to the Cob, respect showing in his brown eyes.

Gentle -- Steel Dream, 07:50:00 02/02/03 Sun [1]
The chestnut's warm amber eyes light with gentle amusement. "Please, the obeisance is not necessary," he says softly. "I'm really just here to make sure things don't go too haywire." His twin yellow circles sparkle with mirth. "And it is good to meet you, too."

He grins. -- Desert Thicket, 08:40:53 02/02/03 Sun [1]
"Well, it seems this land is pretty under control," the buckskin says with a wink. "I believe I'll really like it here. I did live in the Magical Meadow for a long time...but I just grew bored there and had to find someplace new." At the mention of his old home, he looks down, missing his family but not wanting to return. He'd return to visit someday, but not too soon.

Smile -- Steel Dream, 09:31:29 02/02/03 Sun [1]
As a stallion, the older male understands the need to roam. "I hope my land provides what you are seeking. I love it here." His warm spheres glow with a gentle smile.

*a young dun mare slids to a sudden halt behind Thicket* -- Last Dance, 13:18:38 02/02/03 Sun [1]
*looking slightly sheepish she grins to her younger brother* Well... fancy meeting you here little bro... *she side stepped away slowly, the glint in her eyes showing that she had meant for this to happen, she had followed him*

Thicket's eyes widen and he turns quickly to face his sister. -- Desert Thicket, 13:30:32 02/03/03 Mon [1]
"Dance!" For a moment he looks a bit confused, but then breaks into a slow grin. He nudges her playfully. "You sneak!" The buckskin grins and half-rears playfully. "This is great! Are you going to stay here, too?" The young stallion turns back to Steel Dream, "This is my sister, Last Dance. Dance, this is Steel Dream."

*she smiled slowly* -- Dance, 19:32:48 02/03/03 Mon [1]
*the nudged her brother gently* I don't know... I just came because I wanted to know why you left without saying goodbye... *her eyes saddened slightly but she nodded in greeting to Steel Dream*

"Oh..." His eyes turn downwards. -- Desert Thicket, 20:38:29 02/07/03 Fri [1]
He then stands a bit taller, "I just...had to leave. I was getting a bit bored and wanted to live in a new place and meet new horses. I couldn't bear to say goodbye though. I plan to go back and visit. It's just...if I had said goodbye, I really wouldn't have been able to leave. I hope I didn't hurt anyone."

*she shrugged slightly* -- Dance, 21:09:01 02/08/03 Sat [1]
I don't even think mom and dad have noticed that either of us are gone yet... *her head drooped slightly as she said this* I can't see dad taking it well though.. it was hard enough on him when my mom ran out on us...

He nods a bit sadly. -- Desert Thicket, 19:31:17 02/10/03 Mon [1]
"I hope he'll be OK. I think Ippido will be fine, though. I didn't see her much there anyway; not as much as I used to. And if it makes you feel better, I'll go back with you from time to time." Thicket smiles.

Nods gravely. -- Thicket, 20:08:34 02/14/03 Fri [1]
"Well, alright. Most horses don't return to their old herds anyway," the stallion says, looking thoughtful. "Well, we'd better check this place out. Care to join me?"

*the mare nodded* -- Dance, 12:47:11 02/16/03 Sun [1]
Sure... *she walked slowly beside her brother her head low and a thoughtful look on her face, finally she sighed* You do understand don't you? I mean... why I can't go back... I couldn't stand to see dad again... our leaving is probably hurting him more then we know... I couldn't see him again knowing that I'd hurt him...

A bit of uninvited wisdom -- Daughter of Light, 18:53:15 02/17/03 Mon [1]
The palomino, knowing she would be unfamiliar to these new horses, drops her regal air and walks over to them, concerned at the mare's words. She stands quietly in their presence for a moment, cropping the still-lush winter grass casually. After a bit, she speaks softly. "The love of a parent is unconditional," she remarks off-handedly. "Hurting can be eased with two things: time, and love. Time is inevitable, but love is optional." For the first time, she meets the young mare's eyes. "Your father loves you. Do not abandon him." Releasing the mare from her intense gaze, she continues her monologue casually. "I do not think he would hold a grudge, and perhaps he would enjoy an occasional visit."

*ducks her head* -- Dance, 19:02:36 02/18/03 Tue [1]
*she looked somewhat sheepish* I guess your right... but... *her voice trailed off and she stared at the ground she couldn't make up excuses she knew that what the older mare had said was true, her father did love her, more then anything, but she had to admit, she was stil afraid of how he was going to feel, it would hurt him even more then his mothers abandoning them had*

Watches the two. -- Desert Thicket, 16:46:31 02/22/03 Sat [1]
"But you're not abandoning your father like your mother did. Don't make him have to go through that pain twice. He'll understand. He loves you."

*sighs* -- Dance, 12:21:22 02/23/03 Sun [1]
*with a tiny sigh and stared thoughtfully at the ground* Yeah, your right, I guess I will go visit him from time to time....

He grins. -- Thicket, 19:44:15 02/24/03 Mon [1]
"Great! Just tell me when you plan to go. I'd like to go, too." The stallion nods contentedly and begins to graze.
