Charn

Charn issued a resonating bellow as he enter his territory, announcing his own presence, and that of the herd's newest mare. His gallop slows into an easy trot as he leads Enyalius in, while icy-blue eyes scanning the yellowed terrain for Xenarona.

"This is your new home, Enyalius. Plenty of land to graze, and continuous water down in the canyon there, even during droughts." His pace slowed further, alert gaze now jumping to the trees that dotted the land, and the stands of brush that offered shelter to the denizens of the Golden Rose Canyon. "There are deer here as well that are our allies."

Xenarona & Kacheska

Xena was not amused and still not happy about being forced here and she always made it clear. However, her foal was 2 months old and she was not risking leaving just yet. She snorted as she watched. Her ears were pinned at him.welcome too prison where you have a big oaf who thinks he is all thatShe says coming up and huffing at the mare but giving Charn the stink eye and as little respect as she could.i am only here till my little one is old enough to leave this place, even though he'll say no I am here to stay but he will be sorry if he tries to stop us from leaving. He is not my leaderShe said holding herself dominantly against him.i am Xenarona and this Is MY Daughter KacheskaShe said.

Kacheska followed her mother looking at hte new mare with a tilt of her head.

Enyalius

The sight of another mare and a foal was a delight to Enya, who'd gone so long without companionship. She started towards the younger mare, but slowed and paused when she saw the flattened ears. It took but a moment to realize that aggression was not aimed at her, but the unchivalrous male that had led her here. "He is a little rough around the edges." Enyalius admitted easily, though she now showed little interest in the male and soon was looking back at Xena and her little one.

She stepped further away from Charn, moving closer to Xena with a neck stretched forward and ears perked in simple, friendly curiosity. "Unfortunately, I had little choice in the matter of males. I came across the most handsome one last fall, a dark bay fellow with a blaze of white on his face. Very friendly, confident, just what I was looking for." She reminisced longingly of Kincaid, "But I lost track of him, and fear the humans or the harsh winter might have taken him. Since then, I've not come across another male until Charn found me." An idle swish of her tail, and not so much of a glance back at the stallion showed how little she cared for him. In time, he might earn her interest and respect, but so far that hadn't happened. "I'm sorry; I'm Enyalius. Enya for short, and it's a pleasure to meet you both."

Charn

Charn gave the two mares enough distance to keep himself free of unwanted kicks or bites, but close enough that his perked ears took in the words they said. Unlike last time, the stallion didn't flatten his auds when greeted with Xena's defiant anger. He kept his head high and his focus split between her and their surroundings, "What more could you ask for here, Xena? You've got yourself a foal, the strongest stallion in the Valley, and all the grazing land you could ask for." Their belittling remarks, and the comment of a 'handsome' stallion did vex the male a little, drawing a frown across his otherwise confident expression. For the time being though, he was content that neither were trying to flee, and already he had a young foal of his blood, and a second on the way.

Xenarona

Not that she didn't loe Kacheska but how she was concieved. YOU ACT LIKE I WANTED TO HAVE A FOAL BY YOU! YOU FORCED ME YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARD she snorted at him and turned her hind end to him and gave a small buck.You are not the strongest stallion in the valley, you are the weakest, only the weakest force others to do thingsShe said.

Charn

There was a moment when his ears laced back, but he was a safe enough distance away from Xenarona and her kicks right now, and he was happy to keep that distance between them. "If there were stronger males, they missed their chance." Came his reply, "Besides, a weaker male would never be able to hold onto a harem, especially one as nice as this. Or hold full domination over the resident deer." Charn nodded his dial at the two mares, apparently quiet pleased with himself and the little family he'd acquired. "Give it time Xena, I'll show you that I'm a stallion worthy of protection you and our daughter."

Enyalius

Her attitude towards Charn remained rather flippant, and her interest in their squabble equally lax. Leaving them to their argument, Enya approached Kacheska with a softened face and friendly disposition, "Hello little one. You'll have a playmate in the coming months to romp the fields with." The mare lifted her head then, flicking one ear back at Charn, and swiveling the other towards Xena, "Are there any good grazing patches around here?"

Xena

Xena was a dominant mare. "I will not except this. I was born to lead myself and i will do just that. Ill just let you pretend your lead" she snorted. Then with one more kick she looked to the new mate. "Yes follow me and leave this misquito behind" she said and made to lead her daughter and new friend away

Kacheska perked her ears up and bucked happilly before running ahead

Charn

Charn flicked his tail and turned to nibble at itch along his shoulder. The alert posture of his ears showed he was still listening keenly to Xenarona and Enyalius, and when Xena announced her leadership as head mare, she would find no protest from the stallion. "You're a bit young, but I won't interfere with mare business." He announced, letting her insults roll past him. In time they might get on his nerves, but today he was happy; his little band hand grown to four, and soon would be five. Kicking his legs into a steady trot, he followed the three from a distance, willing to let Xena lead the band's direction, as long as he deemed it safe.

Enyalius

Enyalius smiled to the younger mare, showing no disapproval or hesitancy in following this new female. Enya was a confident, bold creature, but she was not keen on being a leader, and would offer Xena no trouble or challenge to her authority. To the contrary, Enya was ready to fight for and defend her new friend, even if that meant chasing away Charn if he got too bothersome for them.

Xena

Xena snorted at him.the only thing you might be worthy of doing is chasing away predators other then that your weak and just a botherShe snorted as she led her new friend to fresh grazing area.
