Tiukahna
Zuleika prances around all the new horses, keeping her distance some. She was feeling rather shy and outnumbered.
Zuleika, feeling suddenly tired, plopped down in a very unlady-like manner onto the sand and rolled over, 'bathing' herself in dust. Then she stood back up and glanced around warily, hoping no one saw her
Zuleika whinnied quietly to herself before forcing herself to take the steps necesarry to joining the crowd. She glanced all around the group of horses, looking for someone to talk to.
Zuleika thought she was doing fine. She hadn't bumped into another horse yet, she was just walking into the crowd to hope to get noticed by another horse. She stopped walking and glanced around. What should she do?
Zuleika was completely flustered at the flirting and pushing and shoving going on, so she slowly backed out of the huge group of horses. She bent her head down and ate a tuft of grass before looking up through her eyelashes. Maybe someone could just come to her.

Sakhr moved away from the mass of mares to see a few lone ones that had sperated themselves. His auds swivled foreward and he moved toward Zuleika. He cleared his throat slightly. "Hello."
Master Wild Mage
Zajer trotted towards the flustered mare and bent his haed down to the ground as well to better face her. "What seems to be bothering you sweetling? Surely one as gorgeous has not been over looked in the throng of others."
Tiukahna
Zuleika jumped in surprise when she heard a masculine voice above her, and she swallowed what grass he had in her mouth very quickly before lifting her head up to his level. "Hello.." she said in a soft voice, "It's nice to meet you."
tursi
Sakhr looked at the other stallion. He'd rather avoid all other stallions, he never found them on friendly terms. Her looked to the mare and nodded. "Nice to meet you aswell."
Tiukahna
Zuleika glanced from Sakhr to Zajer, and she suddenly became nervous. What if these two stallions didn't like eachother, and they got all huffy and just left? She swished her tail gently, then looked over to Zajer. "I'm just awfully shy, that's all." she explained softly, then in a louder voice so both the stallions could hear her, "My name is Zuleika, what are yours?"
Master Wild Mage
Zajer held his head high, "What a beautiful name. Mine is Zajer." he said sweetly in an even tone.
Tiukahna
Zuleika flittered her eyelashes nervously when the stallion, Zajer told her that her name was beautiful. "Why, thank you.." she said in a delighted voice, "Your name is very majestic" she finished, complimenting him in what she hoped was a nice way. She flicked her tail at him again and glanced between the two stallions again. She had no clue what to do besides talk to them at this point.
tursi
"I am Sakhr." He said abit dryly, wiht his deep voice. He raised his head and took a slight step forward. Sakhr still wasn't sure about the other stallion
Tiukahna
Zuleika turned to the other stallion now. "I like your name," she said happily, and then looked closely at him. "something seems to be wrong, what is it?" she asked. She was simply curious, not trying to cause trouble.
tursi
Sakhr looked to the mare and shook his head. "Do not worry." Was all he said with a slightly nod of his head.
Tiukahna
Zuleika nodded slightly, not fully believe Sakhr, but she let it go anyway. Feeling suddenly awkward, she looked to the two stallions shyly. "Does any one want to go for a walk?" she asked, looking off to the distance.
tursi
Sakhr nodded to the mare. "I'll walk. Lead the way." He said, giving her a light bump on the shoulder with his muzzle. He wanted to not be around other stallions, especially 'tamed' stallions.
Tiukahna
Zuleika giggled horseishly as Sakhr bumped her shoulder gently, then looked back to the other stallion as she began walking. "Are you sure you don't want to come? You can catch up later if you feel like it..." she added, then turned back to Sakhr and began walking.
"I don't really know my way around here, I'm kinda new to the whole place.. Is there any where nice to go?" she asked him, her hooves kicking up sand dust behind her as she walked.
"I don't really know my way around here, I'm kinda new to the whole place.. Is there any where nice to go?" she asked him, her hooves kicking up sand dust behind her as she walked.
Master Wild Mage
Zajer almost glared at the other stallion before trotting quickly to catch up. "I wouldn't dream of leaving you to loose yourself in this wide expanse. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something were to happen to either of you." he said truthfully.
tursi
Sakhr seemed abit more relaxed away from the other stallion, however it didn't last long as the stallion caught up to them. As he walked with the mare, he listened and watched around them.
"Nice place to go?" He repeated softly. "I like to go to any place that isn't a town." He said basically. "You could say I'm quite new myself, new to this area atleast.

Tiukahna
"Why thank you, Zajer." Zuleika said to him, turning to look at him briefly. "It's nice to know there's someone around who would worry if I disappeared."
She turned back to the other stallion and nodded. "Well I wonder if there is anywhere full of shade and nice and cool. I'm feeling a little heated right now and would like to cool off.."

tursi
"There's always shade if one knows where to look. I know of water hole, but it is abit far. Best shade is by the rocks. or in the town more" Sakhr said with a nod and a smile. "However I don't go to the town."
Tiukahna
Zuleika smiled gratefully to Sakhr and then looked back to Zajer, "Would you mind if we all went to a watering hole?" she asked him, and then aimed the same question at Sakhr. "I'm feeling rather parched, and a trip to there would do us all good, I think." She nodded, more to herself than anyone else, and slowed down a little so that either stallion could lead the way.
tursi
Sakhr nodded and with out a word turned and started to lead the way. He was the wild arab here, he knew the desert pretty well. His tail flicked back and forth on his flanks and his auds moved back agains his head some.
Tiukahna
Zuleika looked back to Zajer and wondered if he would come along with them. She really just wanted to get somewhere that she could rest and have some cool refreshing water. She looked back to Sakhr and hurried along behind him, watching as his tail flicked along his flanks in an almost mesmerized manner. She liked his tail, she decided.
Master Wild Mage
Zajer was getting bit nervous about leaving the yurts behind but he would not show as much. He couldn't have this wild take the beauty away from her home here where she would be well taken care of. "Certainly I will go with you. I'd love nothing more than a brisk walk." Zajer eager to show how true his statement was beggan to prance slightly in place.
Tiukahna
Zuleika looked over to Zajer as he pranced in place and nodded appreciatively. He had a very nice prance. "Maybe someday you could teach me to prance like that.." she said thoughtfully, still watching him and walking at the same time.
Master Wild Mage
Zajer stopped his prancing and smiled. "Of course I would be delighted to teah it isn't hard at all."
Tiukahna
Zuleika smiled at the stallion before her and swayed a little. "Thank you so much!" she said happily, and then moved over to him slightly. "Do you know the way to the watering hole? Or is there anywhere closer we could go?"
Master Wild Mage
Zajer pondered for a moment. "There is an oasis that isn't too far from the community. It's a bit of a distance from the mountains that are towards the north edge of the Ocean."
Tiukahna
"Ooo, let's go there!" Zuleika said without hesitation. She shifted her weight from one hoof to the other, and then looked up at him, "Um.. can you lead me there?" she asked shyly, looking down to the sand beside her.
Master Wild Mage
"Of course my dear. I couldn't imagine a better partner for such an adventure." Zajer glanced around him to better judge his direction. "I believe we shall head this way so we don't head straight into the hot sands," he said as he took a couple steps in the direction he had said with a glance back to Zuleika
Tiukahna
Zuleika almost squirmed in delight when Zajer called her 'my dear' and then she caught herself. She looked up to him as he started the journey, and followed him quickly. "I'm assuming the hot sands are just that, really hot sands?" she asked matter-of-factly.
Master Wild Mage
Zajer couldn't help but give a small snort of a laugh at her question. "Why yes. The sands of the desert are quite inhospitable with nothing but the sun above you and a hot wind kicking sand in your face."
Tiukahna
Zuleika smiled at his response, and then she nodded very smartly. "I assumed as much. Well then, I suppose it's a good thing we are avoiding them." She nodded again, more to herself than anything, and flicked her tail behind her to get some sand out of it.
Master Wild Mage
Zajer couldn't help but smile. Her attitude was so endearing. "Well yes. I would hate to see those sparkleing eyes with sand in them." He looked out of teh corner of his eye at her. "Well this is no way to get there in good time. Would it be rude of me to suggest a bit of a canter or even a gallop to make the distance go far faster?"
Tiukahna
Her smile seemed to light up her face when Zajer commented on her sparkling eyes, and she chortled with delight. "A gallop would be nice, I need to stretch my legs a little." she replied truthfully, quickening her pace into a brisk trot. It would be nice to have some fun with this handsome stallion.
Master Wild Mage
Zajer picked up his pace a bit as well. "You flatter me. I'm but a plain stallion. I don't even match." He shook his mane and tiwched his tail to give enphasis in his words. "My coat is a brown so dark I may even be called black ion the right light. My mane and tail are the color of the sands. That is not handsome in my definition."
Tiukahna
Zuleika chuckled softly to herself and then shook her head at Zajer. "Oh you're just saying that. You are very, very handsome in my eyes," she told him matter-of-factly, a smile playing across her lips. "I love the colour of your coat, and your tail entrances me." she gained a little more speed, playfully looking over to the stallion.
That's all from the thread. That's much longer than I thought.
