Island Resort
The herdland of Island Resort is a hard to find island located under the jurisdiction of the Light Kingdom. The weather is warm and kind, perfect with protection from the worst weather on one side and a playful surf on the other. Plant life is abundant here and there is a hidden sand bar leading to the island only long-time residents would know exists.
This land is closed. No herds can live here.

Is nothing sacred, is nothing sane?

He had no sooner turned to face her as she replied, than she was off down the beach, sand spraying in all directions as she raced along the shoreline.
With a puffed exclamation of disbelief and laughter, he followed behind, much ground to make up from her considerable head start.
As he raced, he felt the joy bubble up inside him he hadn't felt in... well, a long time, actually. He could forget about being alone (forget from now on, it seemed) and forget about the stress and nerves he felt about providing for more than himself now. His muscles flexed, his chest heaved and he tossed his in in sheer joy at living.
Content to race for the sake of racing and not for winning (although he wasn't sure her seemingly competitive side was that willing to concede) he changed course so instead of running along the wet sand, his hoofprints behind in long strides, he splashed through the shallow water as it crashed on the sand and receded into the next wave.
As the spray kicked up onto his belly and soaked his fetlocks, he looked to his companion. Her beautiful form, shining with the sweat of exertion and he grinned to himself for having convinced her to come with him. For choosing him.
It humbled him, rather.
They were passing some of the lagoons of the island, with the haven of small sea-creatures on one side of their spontaneous racetrack and the undergrowth of the island on the other. He had no time to marvel at the scenery -- he hoped there was plenty of time for a more relaxed exploration later on -- instead giving their surroundings an almost cursory glance before returning to look at Seabright.
Edging closer, straining his neck, he nipped at her withers playfully, hoping to throw her off her stride. It was cheating, probably, but he felt the playful tone of their race meant neither would mind at the use of diversionary tactics.

OOC: Sorry for the late reply. I had to travel home for job-hunting and it takes both the energy and the muse completely out of me *shudders* I hate handing out CVs to random shops :/
And I haven't RP'd in ages either, so we can both dust out the cobwebs together XD
