angel trotted up to regal and west as she looked them over, "you guys look like twins" she said as she stood near them. she was bored and haddn't done anything fun for months. angel then felt like she was intruding so she appolagised and walked away

Regal was happy to hear Angel compliment the two stallions, saying that he looked like their leader, he felt the energy shift as she apologized and began walking away "No, stay, you can join the conversation if you'd like" Regal said with kind eyes

Okay, sorry for asking; I'm tired! I've been at the State Horse Show all week and it has been exhausting))

West flicked his ears slowly, showing a trait that most of his herd probably did not know he had. He actually was hiding his emotions for once (Wow, I know, right!?) and not showing he definitely remembered Regal. "Ok. My name is Wild West... and yours?" He asked, tilting his head a little. "Thank you. Your coat is interesting as well." West commented, glancing around before focusing on Regal again. He still couldn't believe the stallion made it... he remembered joking with Gem for hours about what the colt would look like, what Regal's name would be, and if Regal would look anything like the members of their herd. West remembered talking about different names, and believe it or not... he actually thought up the name Regal. Mostly, anyway. West recalled the conversation well... it was getting closer to the time when Gem would have her foal. West and Gem were really close, so they had spent a lot of time together during Gem's pregnancy. They were talking about names, and West was teasing about how he should get to think up a name because he was so amazing. Gem actually told West that if it was a colt, he could pick the name, but if it was a filly, she could pick. West immedietely laughed like it was a joke, but it wasn't. Gem had already decided if it was a filly the name would be Cloud. West thought rather hard, and finally decided on Regal... making Gem laugh because West had always been the odd one out. He finally drew his mind off of his complicated thoughts and surveyed Rebel again with a kind, happy gaze. He looked over at Angel as she walked up, chuckling at first but stopping quickly. Of course they did. "Hey, it's fine. We do. You're always welcome to butt in on conversations, Angel." He commented with a slight joke in his tone, smiling at her.

(It's okay, that's understandable :) Also it's Regal not Rebel lol, just letting ya know)

Regal looked back at West as he spoke "Well hello Wild West, my name is Royal Regal, But i prefer Regal" He said as he flicked his tail trying to swat the flies, when West said his coat was interesting he replied "Thanks.. I think" And thought for a moment before brushing it off, usually horses weren't the nicest to Regal.. But something felt off.. No, different about West. Regal caught a glimpse of West giving soft, happy eyes towards him, which confirmed that Regal shouldn't of been offended. He didn't know what to say now so he nodded at West, then looked at Angel as West also reassured she was invited to talk. then he looked back at West and lowered his head to show he had good intention for his next question "May i stay in your herd for a while? It doesn't have to be long, just until i make my own herd. I know the stallions rules.. And that it is forbidden to take in a stray stallion, it's just been slightly hard to get my own herd. These days mares are already in herds or they run from me cause im big and look intimidating. But i wouldn't hurt anyone, i... I'm not like most piggish stallions, i just really want horses to like me" He explained

Mystery would occasionally look back at West and Angel, making sure this new horse wasn't starting trouble, then she'd look back at Willow as she played

__________________________ Willow

Willow was playing with Trigger and Athena when she smelt something different, she looked past her mother and saw the big grey stallion that she met when she was born, but now there were two of them? She got excited to see he multiplied into more nice horses (lol Willow's way of thinking) and galloped past Mystery up to the two West's, once she reached the three horses she squeeled happily as she rubbed up against Angel, West, and Regal's sides to show her affection before trotting between them trying to figure out which one was the clone

__________________________________ Mystery

Mystery popped her head down for a moment to graze when she felt a small gust of wind go by her, she quickly looked seeing Willow "Willow no! We don't know hi-" She didn't bother finishing her sentence cause she knew the filly wasnt listening so instead cantered over to get her foal back "So sorry West, Angel, regal. Willow, come here" She said softly to her. Willow still didn't listen, she was too mesmorized by the sight of seeing two of the same horse

Angel turned and listened in. When she saw wear hide his emotions she did to not quite understanding why West was. Angel listened to the names taking them in

(Whoops! Okay, Regal, got that memorized))

West nodded slightly. "Nice to meet you, Regal." He answered, barely being able to keep himself from saying *meet you for the second time*. "It was a compliment." West assured with a slight smile, swishing his tail and glancing over at the playing foals. When Regal started speaking again, West turned and listened, his expression brightening just slightly. Almost unoticeably. "Yes, you can. Whoever made that rule is silly, and I sure don't need to follow it. Stay as long as you'd like." West commented, having a feeling Regal really wouldn't make trouble. As the stallion went on, West nodded like he understood. "I know the feeling." He said with a wry smile, laughing as Willow ran up and looked utterly surprised. "It's fine. I can only imagine what she's thinking." West chuckled, bending his head down to scratch an itchy spot on his leg.

Angel listened and had gotten bored. She wandered off and found a shell on the river floor. She dipped her head down and picked it up. Angel trotted around balancing the shiny shell on her head.

Regal smiled brightly as west said he could stay in his herd "Thanks, you know you may as well be the nicest stallion I've ever known" Regal said half with a chuckle but mostly serious. When the filly came between them he smiled, Regal loved foals, they were so tiny, fluffy, cute, pure, and innocent. He Nuzzled her softly finding her confused face amusing before looking at Mystery "Don't worry, she is curious. I like that in horses, it means they're willing to try new things" He said softly, knowing the made may be wary with Willow near him

angel walked off not knowing what had become of her. she walked into the trees not looking back. she didn't think twice leaving athena and trigger, this truley wasn't like angel. angel felt no reason to stay. she had foals and left a peice of her in the herd. she walked for a while before coming to a cliff. angel wasn't seen for a while but then a dapple grey horse figure was seen atop a mountain near the herd.
