Nerve groaned as the dirt plume settled around and overtop him, coating him well enough to make the shine in his black coat go dull in spite of the sunshine. With his rear still in the air, there wasn’t much he could do from the position he was in, so he let gravity finish her work and let his back half lie on the ground with the front, more troublesome half. He coughed to clear the itchy debris out of his throat before moving violet eyes around to assess the damage he’d done. Remarkably he was fairly unscathed, save for the wicked hit at his pride and the nasty remark from the pretty, annoyed girl who was still staring at him. Like he had stumbled on purpose just to ruin her preening.
He grumbled inaudibly at first, trying to release his hoof still ensnared by the root. “I dunno, maybe.” Again he tried to free himself with a stronger effort, and again he failed. Without giving her the satisfaction of looking her way he quipped, "Better than having a thorn stuck in my butt though.”
Nerve changed his mind at the last second and turned to give her a sour glare before sighing, knowing he had only one choice now. In rapid succession, he shifted from a rhino to a cougar, to a dingo, before settling on a mongoose - his body becoming petite enough to release the stubborn roots grasps. Once free, he rose to he full wingless horse self, shaking the last of the lingering dust off.
Turning, he noticed she was still there. The shifter stared at her blankly at first, before shooting her a contemptuous look. “Are you going to be nice or should I just keep walking?”
