Raleigh I swear we'll never die
Huh. The place seemed to be empty. Raleigh thought about wandering, exploring, but this wasn’t her territory and perhaps it wasn’t even Nimbus’s. Perhaps this was the wrong place. With a frustrated snort, she turned a bit to wander down the beach; and caught sight of a familiar shape standing at the peak of the dune that loomed in front of her.
He seemed not to see her. Nimbus’s attention was on someone else, someone approaching Raleigh whom she had not yet noticed; a pale mare making her way toward the muscled, thuggish girl. Raleigh’s attention switched from Nimbus to the other mare, who called out a greeting and asked if Raleigh lived here.
”Hi,” she called in response. ”No, I just got here. I have a... Friend, sort of, who lives here--” she halted her speech as the muted sound of hooves hitting sand reached her ears. She turned to find Nimbus, who had finally noticed her, racing toward her (now that she thought about it) sand-colored form with an intimidating amount of power. The mare swore; Nimbus had the higher ground, like he needed to be any taller. She scrambled back a few paces onto the flat surface of the beach, put her ears back, and lifted up a bit onto her hind legs; but Nimbus halted, not crashing into her as she had expected.
He was ranting about his home, and Raleigh was about to shut him up because he sounded rather insane but he got around to it himself, and turned his attention back to her.
”Round two,” she repeated. ”I dunno, you’re really big and I just swam an ungodly distance to get here. I might just make myself at home and rest a bit first.”
She turned to the other mare, who had seemed the object of Nimbus’s territorial episode. ”I’m Raleigh,” she said. ”I would suggest not letting yourself into a situation in which you’re alone with him; you’ll lose your mind, I suspect.” She tossed her head in Nimbus’s direction, then turned her attention back to him. ”Well, friend, what adventures have you gotten yourself into since we last met?”
