The stallion steps in, taking care to make enough noise to alert the other of his presence, rather than his naturally silent step. He speaks reassuringly. "You did not offend me...I only worry, for I know well of what other stallion's have done for that land, and how it has hurt and torn our family before. I worried that I would lose a family member or a friend, as well as my respect for you." He smiles, though he knows the other can not see it, for it is reflected in his voice. "However, it seems I needed not worry." -- Graveyard Pass

In reply to: Gangsta 's message, "He lopes in, ears on alert for the filly he saw so clearly in his mind, but not in his eyes. He travels slowly along the edge of the dark shadows, stumbling on rocks and unseen objects. He slows to a walk when he senses Cobweb in front of him. I was gone to find a tt, and it turned out to be Black Death's ancestors tt. I had no idea.....I withdrew the challenge, and can only hope that I haven't hurt Death... He lowers his head, his blind eyes in sorrow." on 18:13:05 01/14/02 Mon

She listens, then gingerly reaches out to blow her breath upon his should reassuringly. "You did no harm... You did what was right in withdrawing your challenge. However...to claim any land it must first be vacated of someone ... Those are the facts of life- some must become enemies if you wish for a land of your own." She glances at Death, silencing, then quickly looks away for fear he might see more of her than she means for anyone to see, even if only for now. Her muzzle long brought back from near Gangsta's hide, she takes a single step back, dropping her head with the intent to graze, nothing more to say at the moment....

The stallion sighs in relief. He cocks his head sideways at Cobweb. You need to get your mind off things. Race ya to the oak tree over there!Without waiting for a 'go', he bounds quickly off, to be stopped by a thornbush that he couldn't see. The bush was thick, and was actually more of a tree. He hit a sturdy branch that whacked his forelegs and sent him flying. He landed on an area of reasonably soft dirt, and hopped to his feet. I'm never going to get used to being blind....he muttered. Bounding off again, resembling a jackrackrabbit for the first few strides, he sprints quickly toward the tree. (NT) -- Gangsta, 19:49:35 01/15/02 Tue

*He watches the trio though he can not hear them. When Gangsta falls he makes a move towards him but when the other stallion jumps up, he stops.* (NT) -- Untamed Night, 04:39:59 01/16/02 Wed

The black stallion laughs softly, stopping abruptly as the other falls, whickering a questioning note, then sighing slightly as he gets back up and begins running. He laughs, taking off after the other, surprised at his amazing ability to manuever even without eyesight. (NT) -- Black Death, 05:19:18 01/16/02 Wed

She lifts her head... -- Cobweb, 16:25:08 01/16/02 Wed

he snorts, flicking his ears back -- Gangsta, 17:45:40 01/16/02 Wed

He tosses his head... -- Black Death, 07:47:42 01/17/02 Thu

She runs quickly, ears slowly pricking forward, and a smile appearing upon her lips for the first time in a long while... -- Cobweb, 16:59:42 01/17/02 Thu

He frowns, undecided... -- Black Death, 10:14:04 01/18/02 Fri

She nods dutifully, locking eyes with him. "I shall watch over him. Please, make haste, for he looks to be in quite bad condition..." She hesitates, then reaches out to bump him with her muzzle, urging him on, yet also to show her trust that he would get there quickly. In part, too, there was another, more hidden message...that for his strong look to her would aid her to be strong and watch over Gangsta, so that he might survive. (NT) -- Cobweb, 14:39:54 01/18/02 Fri

She runs quickly, ears slowly pricking forward, and a smile appearing upon her lips for the first time in a long while... (OOC- sorry if this double posts! Voy's being difficult...) -- Cobweb, 17:00:21 01/17/02 Thu
