Back home with Nevada

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Midnight cantered easily into his terra, his movements taking him swiftly to his favorite place in the land, a sunny valley area where the snow and ice had melted. He slowed up and came to a stop next to a cold, mountain spring trickling down the rocks at his side. He took a quick drink from the pool gathered at the base of the spring. The water was clean and icy. He turned back towards his entrance and watched for Nevada, his new lead mare. He smiled to himself softly as he thought about her; sleek black body and flowing mane and tail. It was as if she was made just for him, and he for her. He reared on his hind legs and held his forelegs close in an expression of his excitement, letting out a bellowing call of joy. He fell to the earth with a thud, dark front daggers meeting the soft earth hard and penetrating it slightly. He shook out his mane and snorted as he waited for Nevada to appear.

Nevada galloped up in enjoyment. She looked around her new home. She reared and moved her black silky daggers in the air. She did a whinny. She went back into a gallop without even landing her rear. She went striaght to Midnight. She shook her mane feeling the breeze. SHe nuzzled him and signed with a smile.

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Midnight lovingly returned her nuzzle, playing gently with her mane. He stepped closer to her until their bodies touched. "What do you think?" he asked her softly, looking out over the vast expanse of land before them. He straightened his large, muscular frame and watched her face intently, as though trying to read her thoughts. His large black orbs were loving and filled with quiet excitement.

[rachel]

"I think its beautiful. The land, the trees, the wind and smell. u" she nickered. SHe whipped her whipcords so it was on his back. She smiled as she was thinking lots of stuff.

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Midnight smiled and looked at her with pent up passion in his expression. He nuzzled her again. "Well, what shall we do, now that we're settled in our new land?" he asked her, his eyes twinkling happily at her. He stepped back slightly so he could look her in the face more easily. He watched her with admiration in his gaze. She was beautiful. He snorted softly and stamped his back foot, pride gleaming in his eyes at the fact that she was his.

[rachel]

"I dont care what we do. What do you want to do?" she asked still with a smile.

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Midnight chuckled and then grew serious, as though pondering.

[rachel]

"Well we can look around and you can show me some spots that you like." she nickered.

[Rizpah||Midnight]

((ooc: sorry about the last post, I'm sick so I wasnt feeling good....hence the bad post. lol.))

Midnight nodded amiably, smiling brightly at her. "Let's see..." he said to himself. Having only been here a short while himself, he thought over the parts of the land he liked best. "Well, This is my favorite place in the terra," he told her, looking around at the sunnier, warmer area of the terra as he began to walk slowly in the direction of the larger portion of his terra. "The rest of the terra is colder, and snowy." he added, a mischevious light entering his eyes. "Shall we go have a look around?" he asked with a playful glint. He cantered off leisurely, looking back to make sure she was following.

[rachel]

She nodded. Then started to trot with him. Her tail to the side and around her back leg. Her black mane blowing in the air.

[Rizpah||Midnight]

Midnight stopped abruptly when they came to a bank covered in deep, feathery snow. He waded slowly through it, his steps high and light. When he got higher up, he turned back to her and grinned, amusement written across his handsome face. He lowered his head down to the ground, as though to taste the very snow, but instead, his black muzzle shot back up, showering Nevada with the light snow which melted on contact with the warm black coat. He laughed softly and pranced backwards in anticipation of her retaliation.

[rachel]

She was white after he showered her. She then shook off the snow and kicked lots of snow at him. Then she ran to him and pushed him down on the floor and nickered, "Pinned ya."

[Rizpah||Midnight]

He laughed and fell back in the snow, playfully letting himself be bested by his love. "am I? Is that what you think?" he questioned mischeviously, suddenly springing from the ground from beneath her, spraying white, powdery snow everywhere as he did so. He laughed again and ran at a measured pace down the slope, sliding some of the way as he went.

[rachel]

She laughed and galloped after him. Then she stopped and rolled in the white snow. She then just layed there and barried her maw in it.

[Rizpah||Midnight]

When Midnight realized she wasnt following anymore, he stopped and turned back, finding her on the ground playfully, her black muzzle burried in the snow. Their two black coats made for stark contrast against the pure white of the fresh snow. He fell in beside her, sighing his contentment.
Suddenly he jolted up. His body became tense and coiled, ears swiveling madly and nostrils flaring. a call floated through the icy hills around them; a challenge. He snorted angrily. His dark auds pinned back on his arched nape for a split second before he turned back to Nevada, face softening again. "Stay here, my love." he told her, concern in his eyes. "I must go investigate this." his voice was lowering, eyes darkening as he spun around and galloped furiously off in the direction of the challenger's call.

((Someone posted a challenge post for Icy slopes. I'll have to go respond and all.))

[rachel]

She watched him go. She wanted to go with him but she did what she was told. She dug a hole and layed in it. Then she put her tessal on the top of the snow and waited for him to return. Her hurks twiched and turned. Her orbs staring in the direction where midnight left. Her whipcords curled around her pellars.
