Let's go the distance together Posted on February 7, 2021 at 05:22:38 AM by Chike
It was only natural for someone to come rushing forward to greet a stranger in their home. It was not alarming when the mare came rushing down to slide to a halt before him. It was not aggressive he had noticed, but neither was it completely friendly. There is alarm in the mare's eyes and her stance tells him she's someone important. Perhaps the leader? One of them anyway. That much was clear to Chike. His stance is slightly defensive then as he'd expected some kind of blow to come. As it did not though; his stance softened again and relaxed a bit once more.
Chike listened as the other apologized for having not come sooner. "It is no problem." Chike's voice is deep and rich but it is not unkind. There is a certain warmth to it. The other spoke their name and he listens. Chike is quick again to respond with the inquiry that came.
"I am Chike. It is nice to meet you Faolain." There is only a brief pause of a breath before Chike is continuing. "I have come in search of a home. I've surveyed much and my hooves eventually led me here. Perhaps by fate. I seek only peace. A home and those around me to eventually familiarize myself with." He pauses again and there's a smile on his lips. There's hope in those rich brown eyes as he spoke briefly again. "If you'll have me Faolain as one of your inhabitants?" Silence then and Chike watches; waiting. Hoping he's finally found a home. Replies:
