 His eyes were narrow against the sun. Looking up, brown eyes skim across the pale blue sky, searching for any sign of clouds or rainfall, finding that the desert had grown a little too dry in the past few weeks. Water was beginning to evade the dunes, and the herd was mostly inclined to stay close to the coast or the larger of the three oasises that Badr had located and secured. Such heat was uncommon in the desert during the winter season, but this just meant that spring was soon to find them.
Looking to the sun, the stallion drags his eyes downwards, spotting a figure in the distance, it’s shape rippling against the heat that bounces away from the sand, stumbling with awkward steps and looking to be a sand wraith- a beast that best be avoided by the flaxen mained stallion. Dark eyes stuck to the figure, Badr moves to one side, hooves sinking into the sand and his ears flicking back. Twisting his head to the left in order to look at the alien invader of his space. Not entirely sure what to do with the slowly moving shape in the distance, the stallion decides it is best to approach it- for the safety of the herd and perhaps to sate his own curiosity. Of course, as he begins walking towards the other creature, there is a sad little cry that echoes out across the dunes, skipping off the sand and making the stallion push his ears forwards. He imagined that this was a woman seeking refuge in the dunes, having lost her leader… or perhaps it was just another lost wayward traveller. It doesn’t take Badr long to bridge the distance between himself and the creature, finding it to be a heavily pregnant mare, appearing to be ready to burst at the seams. This was a refugee, seeking shelter in the dunes despite their heat and lack of food and water. Pausing a little distance from her, Badr recognizes the woman to be someone that had visited his home long ago, and that she is a familiar face and should be welcomed in his home. “Welcome back.” badr The misguided jailbird. stallion. flaxen liver chestnut. unknown crossbreed. ee aa ff. fifteen & three hands. eight years. russell. |
