Ebony let out a small huff. "WHITEY." She snorted sarcastically. "Blended pineapple. Cloudy day. Tree. Grey. Gideon. GIDEON GREY. Sushi. Lopsided dartfish. POMERANAIANNNNNN." Ebony hollered out a bunch of ridiculous names, although some MIGHT make sense. She then flicked her tail and thought for a moment. "Elephant? They're kinda greyish white." She burst into a giggling fit. "WALRUS." Ebony giggled even harder.

Dixie stopped at the break in the trees that led back to the herd. +I wonder if he is back yet...+ she made it all the way back, scanned the herd then turned and walked to the beach again. +guess not+ she stopped and looked at the horizon again. +what if he was just telling me that he would be back so that he could leave longer...+ "Dixie no! He wouldn't do that!" She yelled at herself, deciding to step into the water. She stepped down until her knees were submerged

ghost laughed "walrus????" he asked with a snort "ghost! my name is ghost! you goose" he said with a laugh at her guesses

Ebony grinned evilly. "GHOST? REAAALLLY? I don't believe you. I'm calling you Walrus for the rest of my life." She chirped, prancing forward happily. "And I am NOT A GOOSE."

ghost chuckled at ebony " your a goose" he said before troting ahead over the hill and whinying out to dixie "were back!" he said before troting down the hill and turning around to see if ebony needed help

Dixie heard something, but she couldn't tell what it was. +probably just Scarlet and Fisher+

Macy trotted up to them. "Dixie is at the beach. She told me to tell y'all when she got back... that is, if y'all wanted to know. And West! Are you ok?"

ghost looked at macy "thanks" he said before looking at ebony "oi goose you coming" he said with a playful snort

Ebony let out an irritated whinny. "I AM NOT GOOSE I AM EBONY" She snorted, Galloping ahead as they came out in a clearing. "OO HORSES" She squealed happily. She hadn't been around many horses in FOREVER. She bounded around, half following Ghost/Walrus at first, but then beelined back to West, as he had stopped on the edge of the clearing. "Are you okay?" She asked innocently, her big blue eyes staring up at him.

West paused as they reached the herd, already scanning for Dixie. But did she even want to see him at this point? He had left. Of course she'd be angry. Would she show that the most? Worry overcame his desire to go forward, so he stood there, stuck. Then Ebony bounded up and looked all adorable as she asked if he was okay. "Yeah.. I'm fine.."

ghost chuckled at ebony before troting around the herd to the beach " dixie i brought west back" he said when he reached her before snorting "and his niece " he added with a chuckle

West was weary and ready to collapse, sinking onto his stomach before letting out a slow breath. He was still bleeding, and some of the wounds were big enough to possibly kill him if he let bleed much longer, BUT 1 or 10 more hours would not hurt him more than death.

Ebony watched West lay down before she herself got super tired. She walked over to West's chest and curled up between his legs, dropping into sleep in about 2 seconds.

West smiled slightly as Ebony laid down, nuzzling her silver mane before falling asleep himself.
