Ash is surprised that no sooner had she called out, that she hears a replied nicker. She turns her head, perking her ears as the chocolate stallion emerges from the same water she had only moments ago. Though it was clear he had come from a different direction, it was still a bit startling that she had not noticed someone behind her. The grey mare quickly chases away the feeling, just glad that someone had answered her. Someone held interest in her, and that she wouldn’t be alone for any length of time. She was just about to reach out and exchange breaths with him, ears perked in a friendly manner, when she was rudely interrupted.
A squeal erupted from Ash’s lips and the otherwise friendly mare pinned her ears as the smaller stallion nipped at her hip. Out of instinct, she swung her hind leg up and out at him in a cow kick. She couldn’t believe a young stallion could be so completely
rude.
“Did your mother not teach you manners?” she snipped, side stepping from the gold colored young stallion, and reached her nose out to give him a reprimanding nip.
As she reached out to him, Ash couldn’t help but breath in his cologne. He smelled of many stallions; a bachelors home? Ash snorted, hardly wanting that for her life, but it explained his behavior. But he would have to try harder than his attempts to drive her to his home as she sidestepped any advances he made towards her.
