Common

This had been a disaster and a half. Nahawi’s mind was stuck on everything he had done wrong with Shiloh and could not pinpoint exactly where he had went wrong to start off with. From his view point, he noticed he did not say things that made her feel interested in her… which he was now going to try and do differently. That was why the red stallion could be seen on the crossing again, his body weaving through the large island and its foliage back to the commons. He had messed up last time he was here as well and took notes on that considering a Lagoon stallion had stopped him and been flirtatious? Was that the right word?

Extending his pace to a long strided trot, the red dun let his head hold itself high with ears perked. This time he would not look like a puppy on the hunt for a lover. He would put a bit of his old self into his movements, his body holding the position of a leader even though deep inside of him he felt fear. He had been wrong on both times he had tried to claim a mare since Aase and this time he would be different. Hopefully with what he had taken note of and tried to understand, he had a far better chance than before.

Striding into the commons, Nahawi looked about himself for a moment. He felt stronger at the moment, but when his gaze caught on a blanketed draft mare he almost choked on his tongue. ’Oh here we go again.’ Was his internal monologue as he looked at her and took her in. She was pretty, gorgeous. She was something he had never seen before and that was crazy considering he had been all over the islands and with his herd when he was a foal. It took a lot to make him realize he had never once saw something before and now he was so tongue tied he almost tripped over his own feet as he went closer to her, a nicker gurgling from his lips before he coughed and tried to hide it with a very ‘manly’ smile.

Moving closer as she moved with speed, Nahawi almost shrank in on himself before he let himself just be. His body stretched out to meet her pace before going a touch faster to cut her off, giving enough space for her to stop or full on bulldoze him if she wanted. This was her playing field, but he had to try and do something different than what he had done before. “Pretty day with a gorgeous mare in it.” He spoke, this time holding a bit of a wanna be swagger to him. He was trying here, but the stallion wanted to tuck tail and run with a blush lining his cheeks and just go hide behind the mare that would most likely look at him like he was window licking special.

“What's a gorgeous beauty like you doing roaming the commons alone?” He asked, his head tilting for a moment as he gave her a very shaky smirk. He went to say more after that, but the moment the first word tried to come out he went full on middle school boy and caved. A blush lined his cheeks as he stood there with his tongue sticking out knowing he had messed up officially once again.
