A Trios Journey (private rp with wingfeather and tenebria)

[Abbster]

Sugar began trotting faster. “We need to save our energy though” Sugar said as she was still pressed against her friends. “I really don’t want to do this” she said

[tenebria]

Galmúr snorted slightly "Hey, I was awake!" he said defensively, speeding his pace as well. The old donkey was surprisingly quick for all his crashing and bouncing, and he had to move into a slow canter to be able to keep pace. At Sugar's words he smiled down at her "Hey, it's ok, you can do this" he said encouragingly.

[wingfeather]

''This aint exactly an exercise to waste your energy, but its to get your blood moven,'' he said to Sugar, looking back at Galmúr he merely snorted.

[Abbster]

Sugar sighed. “Is this test hard?” She asked Nacho, pinning her ears in nervousness.

[tenebria]

Galmúr glowered at the old donkey for the disdainful snort that had been directed his way, but stayed silent, focusing on the trail and the test ahead.

[wingfeather]

''Well it is not meant to be easy,'' Nacho answered Sugar, tossing his mane from his eyes.

[Abbster]

Sugar flattened her ears. “Oh…” she mumbled. “I….i think I’ll just let you guys do this test” she said. “I…I can’t”

[tenebria]

Galmúr glanced over at Sugar slowing his pace and frowning. "Sugar, you know that won't work. All of us do it or none of us do. All of us" he said emphatically.

[wingfeather]

''Well now here we are, coming up to them now, ye can see the Swifthoof herd down ther,'' Nacho said when they broke the forest line, referring to some very tiny horses in the distance.

[Abbster]

Sugar spotted Gus standing beside another yearling and she blushed hard. “I know what we agreed on Galmur, but I just can’t do it” she said, as she pawed the ground. Soon though, she heard her name. “Hey Sugar!” Gus called. Sugar looked up and bolted towards him. “Hi Gus” she said, blushing hard.

[tenebria]

Galmúr glanced over in eagerness as he saw a small group of what seemed to be approximately twenty horses, although it was hard to tell from the distance. As they got closer he could see one younger horse step forward. Even from a distance he could tell it was Gus, especially from the way Sugar reacted. He was surprised that sound carried so well as Gus must have yelled hard over to them, Sugar suddenly bolting from their group in his direction. The young buckskin snorted in surprise, then flattened his ears in frustration. Sugar. Always rushing into things. She needed to stay with them and not just go rushing willy nilly around!! It was NOT a good first impression for the herd's leaders he was sure. "Sorry about her" he said swiftly to Nacho as they also sped up slightly.

[wingfeather]

''She, shor shouldn't 'av done that,'' said Nacho wincing slightly. Suddenly there a high pitched neigh and a blurred flash of grey-blue, a powerful young yearling reared up before Sugar and barred his teeth, he began pushing her roughly until she was far enough away from the herd, then turning around he began reprimanding Gus sharply.

[Abbster]

Sugar blinked, flattened her ears at the yearling and felt herself begin to tremble. She didn’t care what she was about to do…she just needed to run. She turned away from the herd and her friends and raced away…she ran until she couldn’t anymore, which didn’t take long honestly. Sugar slowed and flopped down onto the ground, panting as tears streamed from her eyes. “I knew I shouldn’t have done that” she said to herself. “But how could I resist Gus?” She asked herself, as tears continued to stream down her face.

[tenebria]

Galmúr started forward with pinned ears as a strong blue roan yearling flashed in front of Sugar, roughly shoving her away from the herd. Anticipating his friend's response he took off after her, his swift hooves catching up to her moments after she'd flopped down. "SUGAR" he said in relief, trotting over and nuzzling her. "Come on, we don't have time, we need to get back now. We have to take the test. You'll get to see Gus, I promise" he said swiftly. They didn't have time for nonsensical drama, they had to get back before the herd already decided they weren't fit to join.

[wingfeather]

''Sorry, about that, Nacho, she was just excited,'' Artemis explained. ''Oh, that's all right, but ye may have a little more explainen to do to the lead mare and her son,'' Nacho answered.
