Mouse| Stallion| Single| M: Cloud, Stella

When Mouse spots the white and grey stallion(cloud) coming closer, Mouse gets defensive over Stella. Mouse takes a step closer to be intimidating towards him. He won't let anyone hurt Stella. Once he sees the stallion looking away, he relaxes. Still, awaiting on an answer from the group, he hopes this grey and white stallion(cloud) isn't in it. He looks back at Stella to make sure she is OK.

Stella/Mare/ M: Cloud, Mouse, storm, noda, rowan

Stella relaxes as the strange stallion [cloud] turns his attention away from her and Mouse. She releases a snort, and is comforted by Mouse's protective manner. Even with the strange stallion looking away from her, she still wants someone to stay between her and the strangers [storm, noda, rowan, cloud]. She stays behind Mouse, waiting for the group's response, and hoping that the intimidating (but handsome) grey and white paint doesn't happen to be their leader.

Mouse| Stallion| Single| M: Stella

Disapointed, Mouse sees the way Stella looked at the stallion(cloud). He wants to tell her his feelings. Even though hes probably gonna get rejected.

Mouse thinks to himself, whether he should tell her his feelings or not. HIs plumage swishing with anxiousness. He does it

Stella/ Mare/ M: Mouse, storm, cloud, noda, rowan

Stella looks at Mouse as he asks his question. The others [storm, cloud, noda, rowan] seem wrapped up in their convorsation. What does he want to talk about? she wonders, gazing puzzledly into his hazel orbs. "Yeah sure," she says, offering him a small smile. She nervously looks back at the other horses as she follows him into the trees. She notices Mouse swishing his plumage nervously. This must be important, she realizes. Her audits perk up, fully ready to hear whatever it is he wants to say. "Okay, Mouse, I don't think they can hear us anymore," she starts, "what did you want to say?" she playfully rests her muzzle against his, briefly. Her warm brown orbs, looking into his soft, hazel ones.

Mouse walks nervously into the woods. His eyes frantic for his answer. We stopped far from them and she rested her muzzle on his. His hopes went up drastically. Mouse nips her in the neck playfully.

"Stella, I know you haven't known me for long, you are gentle, kind, generous, caring, loving, and affectionate. From the second I saw you, I felt a sudden attraction to you. And I wanted to tell you later, but I didn't want you to go and me never get the words out. You dont' have to be my mate, but can we just be more than friends?"

Stella/ Mare/ M: Mouse

Stella's audits pin back against her head. She looks down at her feathered hooves and takes a small step backwards. Emotions swell inside of her: sadness, joy, frustration, and, most of all, confusion. She suddenly feels ten times smaller, as if she is looking up at Mouse while falling down a cliff, toward sharp rocks below. No, she thinks, I will catch myself.

She forces her audits to go back to their normal position, and stands up a little taller, but she still feels small. Her dark plumage swishes nervously. She doesn't know what to say. "Mouse..." she begins, "I'm really sorry if I gave you the wrong signals..." tears collect in her eyes, but she sadly holds them back. She doesn't want to make him feel worse. "I just...I don't know, okay? I am confused. I just met you, yet I already feel really close to you, and I don't want to mess it up." she stands awkwardly on one of her back legs, the other relaxing. "I don't want to hurt you, but I also don't want to hurt myself," she says, sniffing. I don't know how I feel...I hate this so much, she thinks to herself. "Can we...just see how it goes from here?" she asks, her orbs looking into his, begging him to understand.

Mouse|Stallion|Single|M:Stella

Tears roll down his cheeks as she speaks. His throat is closed up. He starts to sweat. He can't hear what she is saying. Everything is going black. He manages to snap himself out for only a couple seconds. "I understand, and now I have seen my mistake. I will be at the tree. If you change your mind." Mouse saunters away, with his gead low and plumage limb and numb. Tears rolling down his cheeks, he takes one last look at her. Her beautiful face. He will have to commit it to memory. He turns and walks saying nothing.

@frappe sry, gotta go to sleep after this, it's 1 am rn.

Stella/ Mare/ M: Mouse, storm, noda, rowan, cloud

Stella watches sadly as Mouse walks away. It was the right thing to do, she thinks sadly, I didn't want to lead him on, only to break his heart later. I was being honest, I am confused about how I feel, she thinks. But it does little to easy the discomfort in her chest. Tears pool in her warm brown orbs as she looks after him, his spotted coat shining even in the shade of the trees. "I'll be back at the beach," she calls out to him hoarsely. She slowly trots back down to the beach, hoping to join the small group of horses she had seen [storm, noda, rowan, cloud].

As she approaches the horses, still talking with each other, she stands quietly, too scared to interrupt, but too committed to run back into the cover of the trees.

Cloud/ Stallion/ M: storm, rowan, mouse, noda, stella

Watching the three [storm, rowan, noda] from a distance, Cloud can't be sure what their relationship is. He notices the blue roan mare [stella] emerging from the trees nearby. She is alone, which means the spotted stallion [Mouse] is still in there.

Cloud couldn't tell if they were mates of not, but they probably weren't. No stallion would let his mare be with three other stallions and not stick to her side. He watches the mare stop, about six feet away from where the strange three horses still haven't noticed her presence.

Cloud watches on as they continue to talk with eachother, but he is too far away to hear everything they say. He only catches bits and pieces, not enough to tell what they are discussing.

Mouse|Stallion|single

Mouse walks back and sits at the tree. Only a few days into knowing a mare and he breaks his own heart for falling for her. He sits and cries himself to sleep. He doesn't know what to do. He can't leave. Or could he? He doesn't know anyone other than Stella. But every time he looks at her he gets even more sad emotions. "I dont' know if I should leave or not. Ill sleep it off"
