West very slowly turned his attention back to Tiger. "I do not know the answer to that question..." he said slowly, almost mystified. West could tell Dixie had galloped back... he didn't really understand why everyone was out here in the first place.

Tiger yawned, "yea whatever then" he said then cantered away from the stallion, his tail blowing in the wind

West... was more than confused now. Tiger had just mysteriously came along, asked about the mares, then galloped away. Dixie had mysteriously followed, then when West scented her... she galloped away. He guessed he couldn't leave the herd more than two minutes without SOMETHING happening. West snorted and flicked his tail, deciding he hadn't done enough for the moment. He trotted back to the herd, glancing around to make sure everybody was still there and not off trying to find him or something.

Phantom looked up seeing West trot back into the herd, she walked up to him. "Back so soon" she said getting beside him. She examined his face he looked a bit confused so she followed up her comment "What's wrong? you seem confused" she sat there trying to figure out why before he answered her

West glanced at Phantom. "Yes back so soon, and yes... I a, slightly confused. Nothing to worry about though." West chuckled, thinking of why he was confused. "I just went out to take a run on The beach and *poof* suddenly both Dixie and Tiger were there. I guess when you're herd stallion you can't be alone for that long." West tipped his head slightly. Boy... did that sound like complaining? He didn't mean for it to sound like that...

Phantom nodded her head "Okay I'll save my worrying for another day" she listened to what he said next laughing a bit "Sounds like you got some fans." She smiled before continuing to speak "It really sounds like you can't catch a break with being lead from moon running off, to mares fighting, running into fire, and now horses following you. That's a lot to handle" She thought for a moment realizing that it might sound like she was saying things he was foing wrong as a lead to have to work so much. She snorted lightly before saying "Not that any of it is your fault y'know it's just normal things leads have to deal with. It just really sucks you don't get a break from it all." She glanced at him waiting to see how he'd responed

oop double post

West's ears flicked. He- what- fans? He listened to what Phantom said, a small smile growing on his face. "It's fine. I did volunteer for this, I can handle it." He chuckled slightly. West knew it was his responsibility to make sure every horse in his herd wasn't happy and safe... so he had to listen to that responsibility.

Phantom smile grew bigger seeing Wests reaction "Ok I believe that you can handle it all but y'know don't overwork yourself and don't be afraid to ask for help" She flashed him a smile quickening into a faster walk "In other words don't be such a Hercules" she pushed into a trot going away from him deciding she had pestered him enough

West snorted, watching Phantom Trot off. "If I can't canter without panting... I'm no Hercules." He muttered to himself, flicking his tail and gazing around the herd. He finally closed his eyes and just rested
