West chuckled slightly, his expression already lightened. -I worry way to much- He thought, then glanced at Dixie. "It'll get better, really. I'm sure you'll be much faster than me again in no time." HE reassured her with a grin

Dixie nodded "I bet I will be" she teased. She started to limp back to the cold water then stopped. She looked at him as if she was going to say something but then she decided not to. She swished her tail and continued on her way. She stopped again and looked back "comin?" She asked as she looked back at the water and dipped her leg in

West tilted his head slightly, knowing Dixie was going to say something but deciding not to pry. "I know I know I'm slow." He heaved a sigh as she spoke, going after her and standing near the cold water but definetely not in it. That stuff was freezing, and the only way he would ever stick his leg in there is if it would help him

She got cold rather quickly but ignored her chattering teeth. She couldn't keep going in and out. She either had to stay in and let it help her or she had to get out and be in pain. She chose the water as she shivered

West watched Dixie for a moment before sidling over to her, pressing against her slightly. "This might help." He said cheerily, mostly because he was usually a furnace and emitted heat even at the weirdest times. Hopefully that would help, now, as his body heat should help Dixie warm up at least a little

Dixie nodded "it is. Thank you" she still had a light shiver but other than that she was nice and warm. She held her leg in still

She smiled led a little as tiger nudged her. She felt safe and happy with him. She trotted beside him imagining what their new home would look like

She fell back, feeling a bit, jealous. What if that mare messed things up? Well, then she would have to try to take Lion back.

What if that mare turned out to be a new version of Sugar? What then?

What if Tiger made the same mistake as Lion?

She heard a growl and stuck her face in the bush, only to see a Tiger. Rose quietly bit the Tiger's nose and shut her up.

West stood still as he could, looking around with his gentle brown eyes. He observed the country side with a happy gaze, though still wondering who that new stallion was. The thing that made West a little more wary of the new stallion is because the other stallion was just as big as him, if not a little bigger. -And I thought I was a giant, he must be a powerhouse- West thought with a snort

Dixie lowered her nose and sniffed at the water for a second before lifting her head slightly and looking into the woods. -hmm- she eyes the small path in the woods before she lifted her head again and head butted West
