keep your dreams in check
Rouhi seems to become more intrigued by the mare each second, patiently waiting for each answer she gives him as he walks alongside her, or at least tries to. The mare seems slightly restless, he had noticed her pace change but did not have much time to speak, the mare was already shooting off toward a large and old oak tree, she had already made it a quarter of the way before everything had registered inside his brain "Hey! Wait up a moment!" he yelped loudly as he shot into a fast-paced gallop, his wings steadily accompanying his side as they clenched together to reduce drag, he wasn't quite set on winning, in fact, he already knew he was going to lose, his feet already stumbling around as she shortened himself to a canter, nearing the mare as they made it to the tree, the grulla male began to pant slightly, a light giggle escaping his now raspy tone, at first he was quite carefree, his mood as high as the clouds flying by in the great blue sky. But this didn't last long, he knew something wasn't quite right inside him, usually by now he would be showing signs of re-birthing, his hooves would get hotter and hotter each day until his body exploded into flames. But none of this was happening, something was stopping it but he did not know what. In his head all he could think about was the plague, was he infected? He took a step back from the mare as his mindset changed for the worse. But now was not the time for that anyway, he could panic later.
The grulla politely lifted his head to look back toward the mare "I wasn't expecting you to be that fast" he spoke unsurely at first but then lifted his merry tone once more, wondering what the mysterious mare had in store for him next, he looked on curiously; a desire within wanting to find out what was coming next.
