Her horse's ears prick as she catches
whiff of another horse. She soothes Shanai, her brow
knitted as she tries to figure out the situation.
Hearing the vendor yell at the horse, she squeezes
Shanai into a trot. Khemosabi was heading directly
towards them, but could veer off at any time. She
made sure Shanai was on her toes as the horse neared.
Reaching out with a long, slender hand, she expertly
grabs the horse by the mane, and slips off onto his
back. Her legs stick against his back like glue, and
she prepares herself for the wild bucking that always
ensued. As Shanai was trained, she trots carelessly
after her owner, patiently waiting.

She pricks her ears neatly as she
smells the stallion. All thought of food and drink
was gone, as her hindquarters danced sideways, showing
Aphrodite she was excited. Surprised by Aphrodite's
sudden command to quicken the pace, she obediently did
as told, and then realized what was happening. Back
in Mecca, Aphrodite's brother had worked with horses,
and one of her jobs as a teenager was to get the
'kinks' out of the wild Arabians he'd find in the
desert, usually deserted and abused. He'd nurse them
back to health, then train them. Occasionally, some
would die, and she shared the sadness with Aphrodite.
She feels the air rush past, and Aphrodite's small
weight lift from her back, and she immediately twists
around and begins to follow, waiting until Aphrodite
was done her job.
