All the lights that shine strong only last for so long(any) - Tyrna - 04-16-2015
RE: All the lights that shine strong only last for so long(any) - Texas - 04-17-2015 Still yawning, Texas meanders down the familiar path to the waterfall, his eyes half-closed still. It might be well past noon, but there is little for him to do here; why not sleep late? Bits of grass and mud cling to his sides, a remnant of his sleep, and he’s heading to the river for a good wash. He always tries to look his best for…Well, no one. There’s no one he’s determined to impress, and so he’s usually dusty, muddy, bloody, or some combination of the three. The blood is the least common, of course, especially since the one horse he’d challenged hadn’t even bothered to show up. It’s a shame, really, but he hadn’t expected much of her, She was an Amazon after all, and everyone knows that they are unreliable and flaky. He doesn’t see the other horse until he’s waded knee deep into the water and started to drink. He looks up at the sound of laughter and sees an unfamiliar mare in the water. She’s giggling, and then laughing, and Texas’ expression shifts from vague interest to something that borders on concern. “You okay there?” He asks, knowing that it would probably be in his best interest to just back away and give the crazy female her space. He had been sure that fate required the unstable to join the Sisterhood, but it seems that this sabino mare has somehow avoided that thus far. Perhaps she needs directions.

RE: All the lights that shine strong only last for so long(any) - Texas - 04-19-2015 Texas’ narrow face doesn’t show any reaction when the mare snarls at him, but his muscles tense beneath his dark coat and his breathing quickens. He’d not expected her to pick a fight, not in the Falls, but is clearly prepared if she were to try. But then her anger fades to embarrassment, and the quick shift – laughter, anger, shyness – has Texas frowning. He is still considering leaving, always a good option when confronted with such rapid emotions in a stranger. She apologizes and then refers to the Falls as home, and Texas’ dark eyes grow ponderous for a moment. He’s not seen her in his year living here, but he’s well aware that doesn’t mean she’s been back for a visit in that time, He’s not particularly attentive at things like border patrol or even caring what the rest of the residents (ie Trua and Shatter Me) are up to. She introduces herself as Tyrna, and while the name is only vaguely familiar, when put goether with her silver dapple coat, he remembers – Shatter Me’s daughter. She looks like her mother, he can see it now. She is younger though, and Texas is both shallow and instinct-driven, and finds Tyrna prettier. Not, of course, that he does not find Shatter Me attractive as well, but she’s the Queen and he has no desire to entangle himself in politics in that particular way. So while he might appreciate the figure of their Falls monarch as she passes by, he’s never had any intention of pursuing it farther than that. He does not miss the way that Tyrna looks him over, but he rather enjoys being objectified, and so he says nothing, but does allow his own gaze to trail over her figure. It’s autumn, after all, and they’re both adults. “I’m Texas,” he replies in his honeyed drawl, not at all offended by her directness, even smiling slightly at it. “I advise, fight, and try to keep the peace. What do you do.” RE: All the lights that shine strong only last for so long(any) - Tyrna - 04-23-2015
RE: All the lights that shine strong only last for so long(any) - Texas - 05-02-2015 ooc: your html is breaking the board D: i've fixed it by adding a <*/table> at the very end, so just pop that into your html :) He settles, clearly having decided that she might not be as crazy as he had first suspected. They flirt harmlessly and she asks if he can catch her up on what she’s missed. If she’s a native, he’s sure that she already knows that she has missed very little, so he waits to reply until she has spoken again and answered his own questions. ”We should mock sometime,” he says mildly, having noticed her wink and replied with an appreciative nod. ”I’m a little out of practice.” He’d tried, with that Amazon, but she’d never shown up. Typical of her kind, but it still leaves Texas with little recent experience. She asks who is left and he shrugs, glancing around at the quiet kingdom around him. ”Degradation left for the Desert,” he begins, knowing that the red and black stallion had been the only other resident when he’d arrived a few years past. ”That leaves your mother and I, and a mare named Trua that’s joined us recently.” That’s it, right? No, he’s forgotten quiet little boy from the field. ”And a young colt.” Texas can’t remember the boy’s name, so he doesn’t give it to her. ”Do you plan on sticking around for a while then?” He asks.
