This place, whatever it was, was very new, and very overwhelming. She had never seen so much open land with no fence in sight. It was both exhilarating and terrifying, and she wasn't sure how to process everything she was seeing. Everything was all so new to her. She wasn't used to sleeping in the open, with so many strange sounds and smells and views around her. The only thing she was used to was a nice, warm, straw filled stall surrounded by familiar faces, and scheduled feedings. This fending for yourself thing was for the dogs, and she was exhausted from constantly watching her back. Every bump in the night frightened her awake, and sent her scurrying away. She missed the security of home. However her ancestors long ago had survived in this wilderness was beyond her.

That was how she had found herself in this place. The sun had went down not long ago, and she had settled in for the night, hidden in the trees. A twig had snapped, she had jerked awake, and off she went. Mane and tail whipping behind her, she ran for life. Again. She had only stopped here when the exhaustion had caught up, and she felt as though she would collapse if she ran another step. Her legs shook, her body trembled, and her stomach rumbled. All she wanted though, was to feel safe again. Well, that, and a full night's sleep.

Daggers hit the ground one by one and right in rhythm with one another. Not breaking stride as he moved over the terrain with thorns perked high upon his skull. Eyes darting from one place to another as he was checking out this place. Snorting loudly as while he found himself moving over unknown terrain. Then his figure froze as he watched the sight of a mare take off out of no where. He kind of gave her a crazy look in his eyes as he did not know just what had happened. So he watched for a moment as she seemed ever so uneasy but of course he just seemed to shrug it off. Watching as she moved quickly away and all he seemed to do was to keep on walking the way he was going.

Eyes finally had fallen upon this mare once again. Wondering just what the hell she was doing, but then on another hoof. He truly did not get two pieces of grass just what she might be thinking at this point in time, but just to be noisie and to get to know the natives. He moved over towards the femme figure with thorns perked upon his skull as he looked at her. "Looks like someone has seen a ghost." He said as he walked towards her and then halted after speaking. Dropping his head down to the ground as he nipped at the tops of the grass blades. Unsure of just what this equine might be thinking but of course he truly didn't care. The sight of her fear was right there upon her face, but he didn't just what feelings were truly. His face remained blank as he looked at her.Waiting to see just what this mare was going to say towards him.

The arrival of another added to her mounting fear. She didn't know what this stallion wanted. Back home, mares were only mingled with the stallions for one purpose. She didn't want that. She wanted safety, and a nice, long, peaceful nap. Her mind was fuzzy with exhaustion, and she felt she wouldn't be a good opponent for the stallion if he decided on harsher things than words. Oh, but how she missed having someone to chat with, and the company, and her mane hadn't been groomed in weeks! She missed having someone to scratch those itches she couldn't reach, and someone to swat the flies from her face, and someone to just watch her back in general. But of course, she wasn't naïve enough to trust this stag could - or would - even consider doing such things for her. She didn't even know if he was friendly.

He was talking. He didn't say enough for her to get a feel on his personality, but they didn't sound too harsh. Teasing, yes. Condescending, maybe. But not harsh, per se. "No, not a ghost, but I heard a noise, and I didn't know what it was. It scared me, and I ran. I don't know where I am, or what this place is. You're the first horse I've seen in forever." She knew she was babbling, but she was nervous. He was much bigger than she was. It wouldn't be much of a challenge, and she knew that. She was also sure that he knew that. If he decided he didn't like her, there was any number of things he could or couldn't do.

But maybe she was overreacting. After all, she was frightened, and tired, and she couldn't focus on any one thing. There was a nice, buzzing, fuzzy film over her thoughts. Nothing was clear. Two months on her own had worn on her. She had lost weight. Maybe this place would be secure enough to catch up on everything she was lacking on.

Professor wasn't sure just what actions he was going to take at this very moment. Watching this mare with thorns perked high upon his skull as he gazed at this mare for a moment. Seeing that her mind was wandering all about herself, but of course Professor was not himself today. He felt to chill and relaxed than he normally had. Was it due to the lonely feeling he was having just wandering this place by himself? Oh the question he could come up with at the thought of it all. Shifting his weight as he looked at the mare. Taking in the words of this equine as she seemed to babble on with whatever she had to say. Seeing that she was kind of a skittish mare at some way or another.

"Clear your head and don't freak out. Would make an evil stallion think you were easy pickings to come and toy with." He said with thorns perked upon his skull. Shifting his steel colored pelt. Eyes dancing around a he tried to get his thoughts together for a moment before shifting his eyes back upon the mare. Seeing exhaustion and seeing that she was a bit out of things right now. She needed something but he could not put his mind on it just yet. Shifting his weight he wandered around for a moment to see that no one was around and then he found himself looking into a small yet perfect fit for the mare.

He turned his attention back over towards the mare with thorns perked high upon his skull as he looked at her. "Come on over here and get right in this spot and lay down. A mare like yourself and how you are acting you need to lay down and get your rest and clear your mind." He said in kind of a stern tone of voice and with thorns perked as he looked at the mare. Waiting to see just what her actions were going to be.

JAHNYA

At his mention of evil stallions, she felt her body tense. She didn't even know other horses could be evil. The meanest horse she had ever known had been how mother, and that was because she wouldn't let Jahnya do whatever she wanted. So the thoughts that popped into her head of evil horses was terrifying. She had no idea what they were capable of, but she could imagine. And the images that invaded her psyche were not inviting.

She kept her jaw shut, though. What if he was one of these evil stallions he was speaking of? And here she was, in the middle of nowhere, alone, with a stallion she didn't know while she was in heat. She didn't think it could get much worse. When he made to walk away, she wasn't sure if she was happy, or upset. On one hand, she would be alone again, without a strange brute. On the other, she would be alone again, where anything could happen. But he was just wandering around her, looking for something. She wasn't sure what, but she was definitely interested. She followed his actions with her head turned to him, auds perked tall on her dome.

He was suggesting a nap, with only him around. However nice that sounded, she knew she couldn't do that. She didn't even know his name, and he didn't know hers. So, despite the inviting spot that called her name, she shook her skull. "Thanks, but no thanks. With you talking about evil horses, I would rather stay awake." His stern tone would book no argument for most anyone, she was sure. That was probably why he had used it on her. But she wasn't about to doze off and make herself even more vulnerable with anything lurking in the shadows. She had thought herself to be safe her, but she guessed she was wrong on that front.

If Professor had hands he knew that he would throw a rock at this mare. Seeing the reaction that she was giving him started to make his hear race and his temper start to come up form deep below. Gazing at her as he watched her carefully for a moment. Seeing that look upon her face that he knew ever so well. Sighing as he shook his skull side to side as he took in her words. Snorting loudly while gazing down at the ground and then looking up towards the mare with thorns slightly pinned.

"Guess since I bring up the evil horses deep down you think I am one myself. Hm, maybe I should keep my no remorse self away from a mare that needs her rest. Figured I would try and be nice for once but guess it doesn't even matter." He said with a loud snort from his nares as he looked at the mare with teeth clenched together by hidden lips. Shaking his skull as he turned himself from the mare to where his back was towards her. Slamming his dagger into the ground as he turned his skull and looked at her through the corner of his orbs. "Names Mad Professor if you wanted to know. But why would you care, I'm just a monster anyways." He said as he turned and wandered into the open land that was near them. Taking his figure and move to the sun. Halting when he was a good distance from the mare, but still in view. 

Closing his eyes before looking up to the sky with thorns perked. Releasing a sight from his muzzle as he shifted slightly. Opening his eyes up and slowly allowing his body to fall down to the ground that her dagger stood upon. Seeing that most of his figure disappeared in the grass once his body was down. Shifting lightly as he seemed to just lay there but slightly sitting up. Gazing around wondering just what this mare might do with his reaction.

[xx.shuffle]

JAHNYA

She was surprised by his reaction, to say the least. She wasn't aware that it was so easy to read what she was thinking. Not that she actually believed he was one of the evil horses he had spoken of, but one could never be too careful. She just didn't want to end up used and abused. He couldn't blame her for that, could he? Safety first. His words hurt her, though. She couldn't really blame him. Looking back on her words, she could understand his anger towards her. And, despite the hurt that radiated through her when he walked away, she knew it was her own fault. She had went and run off the first someone she had seen in months, because she had to go and run her mouth about things she didn't know about. If he said he was one of the good guys, she would have to take him at his word. After all, if he intended to hurt her, wouldn't he have done so already?

So, when he stopped within her sights, and dropped to the ground, she took the only chance she would get, and moved after him hesitantly. Despite her beliefs that he would have hurt her already if that was what he wanted to do, she knew that anger was pretty much unpredictable. She wasn't really looking to be the recipient of his. She dropped to the ground beside him - not touching him, because he was mad at her, after all - with a groan as big as she was. It did feel good to get off her legs, even if it was only for a few minutes. Her fear of the unknown had taught her to be ready for anything at any time. She rested her head briefly on the ground, wondering how she could go about apologizing. She felt a simply "I'm sorry" wouldn't cut it. She had made too big of a mistake for that.

"I don't know anything about evil horses. Where I came from, there were only mares. And they were all nice. I just figured everyone was like that. There's a lot of open space here, and I was frightened by what you said, and I judged you too fast. That's my mistake. I'm sorry. Forgive me?" She couldn't blame him if he didn't accept her words, and sent her on her way. That's what she would do, if she were in her place. No one needed someone that didn't know them judging them just because of a warning. "Can we start over?"

She waited silently, waiting for his rejection. She knew it would hurt, but she knew she deserved it. She had hurt him, so it was only fitting that he return the favor. That was how the world had always worked. She had lost track of the mean things her momma had said when anyone said something rude.

Professor knew he should not have changed his actions he knew of. To go and give a bit of kindness to someone and then that thrown into his face. It kind of was a thing that he did not expect to happen and when it did, it changed his thoughts on things once again. Shifting the weight under his body as he was still frustrated. Flickering his thorns around in a pissed off manner. Snorting loudly before hearing the sound of daggers heading into his direction. Knowing it had to be the mare and when he turned and looked he could see that it was the mare. Watching her as she decided to fall to the ground and rest near him but not touching his pelt. Thorns taking in her words as he turned his head and looked all around the place as he processed everything.

"Lucky for you. My parents gave me away for the fact I was dark colored and I was not a mare like yourself. I was taken to a working herd where I fed from a nurse mare then taken from her once I reached that age that I was weaned from her and forced to work every day and even night. No love for me ever in my life time. And sure I'll forgive you." 

Snorting as he finished his terms. Shifting his weight lightly as he looked at the grass and ripped it off of its roots before hearing her ask if they could just start over. Turning his attention back over towards her with thorns perked on his head as he looked at her. Unsure of where they would start over at. They were hear now and she pretty much knew his life in just a moment of time.

"Where do we start over? I don't get that."

Yes, he was not a stallion to think through a things such as what she was saying. Shifting the weight under his body as he moved his figure to get comfortable again. Trying to figure out just what she was going to say. Waiting to see what she was trying to get at this point.

JAHNYA

She listened silently as he spoke, telling her his life's story. This was a weird place, that was for sure. Horses telling each other their history when they barely knew them, evil horses. Yes, this was definitely a strange land. At least what she had seen of it so far.

He stopped talking, then seemed to ponder over what she had said. Even though he had accepted her apology, she feared he would reject the idea of them trying again. She just wanted to fix what she had done wrong. Because, obviously, she had screwed it up enough to send him away from her. But he hadn't refused to speak to her when she followed him, so that was a good thing.

"We start over like this. Hi, its nice to meet you. My name is Jahnya, and I'm new here. Can you help me out?" She didn't know what it was, but she didn't want him to be mad at her, and she definitely didn't want their... whatever this was... to end on the note she had put out. He was the only horse that had taken the time to approach her, and she didn't want to lose that. If their little meeting turned up with nothing but a new friend, well, that was better than nothing. But she would like to spend more time with this guy. Maybe he could help her learn what it was like to live a life without fences, giant wooden shelters, and scheduled feedings.

Professor did not know what to do with himself. Taking his mind and trying to wind it down was something that this stag could not seem to do. To take his life, slow it down and offer others into it. The thought of it made his figure cringe and everything just go out the window. Shifting slightly while it looked at the mare. She was beautiful a creature that was pure in every way and yet. . .Professor did not know what purity was. He just knew the life of a worker and now a professional at a outlaw. Taking in his words as he looked at her and then turned his eyes and looked down to the ground below while he shifted his weight and thought of the words that he wanted to say towards her. He needed to learn some kind of kindness and yet it was hard for his mind to do such a thing.

"Names. . .Professor. An truly I'm a bit new to this place myself." 

His words were all honestly within them before he turned his figure and shook his skull slightly. Shifting the weight of his body and standing up upon his pillars while he looked around the place with thorns perked up on his skull. Then he turned and looked to the mare. Lowering his head towards her and nudging at the air for a second before lifting his head back up.

"Come. It's not safe for you here. It's getting later and later. Must find a better place for you." 

He said as he stood there gazing around with thorns perked high. He kind of hated the way he was speaking to her now. His voice seemed ever so stern when he was not trying to be truly. All he wanted was happiness in his heart. A smile upon his muzzle and some kind of warmth in him, but he knew his mind would not be able to change ever so fast. He would need a lot of time and maybe even this mare for his mind to get into such a manner.

ooc// Okay so there is a movie i'm trying to watch [since I found it on Youtube] its called Wolf Children click An so far it is very good and its kind of about a woman who starts to fall in love with a man that is actually a wolf. They have two children together and he dies. So the lady raises the two on her own and that is all i know so far, but there is this cool video I found that has clips of the movie in it and it's very cool. Kind of makes me think of how Jahnya and Professor are going. click < that is the video that has clips of the music with a song. OH and one of the kids goes a bit rebellious.

JAHNYA

She was happy that he had given her the chance to rectify her earlier actions. Though he seemed to be struggling with his words, she was patient enough to wait him out. She took his cue when he raised his body from the earth, and did so herself. He obviously didn't want to wait around this place any longer. Maybe he sensed something she didn't, or maybe he was just tired of their surroundings. Either way, she rocked herself up onto all fours, and shook the dried bits of grass from her pelt.

He was speaking weirdly, like he wasn't sure that he was doing the right thing her way. She offered what little comfort she could by briefly brushing her side against his. Her eyes were on him, waiting for any cue that she had overstepped her boundaries and made him uncomfortable. She had to figure out how far she could go if this was to be a permanent thing. They couldn't go around walking on egg shells.

She stood quietly, waiting on him to start in whatever direction he chose. She had to be able to trust him if they were going to be spending any amount of extended time together. So she would wait as long as she needed to for him to figure out where they would go. Despite the fuzzy thoughts and heavy eyes, she still had enough energy to follow him wherever he chose to go within the lands. She felt as though she didn't need to say anything. Her apt attention should be enough. He had to know she was waiting for his instructions with her perked auds and bright orbs. She was certainly ready for whatever adventure he had in mind.

[sorry about the wait! I watched the clip, and I have to agree with you! and I plan to watch that eventually. It looks really good!]

Professor was unsure of just what to do, but of course he needed to make sure that this one was safe and out of harms way at this point. Shifting the weight under his daggers as he looked around trying to figure out just where to take this mare and place her at to rest for a little while so that she could get herself together. Then he felt as he came and brushed up against his figure. Looking over slightly from his eyes since he didn't know what to do at this point. He gave her a soft yet weak looking smile since he had never done it ever in his life. Even when he was little he never really even smiled.

His daggers moving forwards with thorns perked high on his skull as he finally found a good place to put her. Yes it was kind of odd but easy to protect her. Shifting his weight to a halt as he looked up to a tree that had fallen over and looked like a good hiding place. Shifting his weight as he walked over to it and looked all around to make sure that nothing was inside of it before she was to enter it. Backing out before he scanned around the place with thorns perked up high.

Eyes than turned and looked over to the femme figure before he nodded towards the entrance into the tree. "Here might be a bit better than an open field. Go ahead and go on in. I won't be far." He said simply. Knowing that she needed the rest on top of everything else that she had come into her direction.

She noticed silently the smile he sent her way. It seemed almost forced, as though he wasn't really sure how to smile. That was odd, really. She had thought everyone knew how to smile. Wasn't that a instinctual thing, that all foals learned at a young age? She couldn't remember the first time she had smiled, but she knew it had to have had something to do with her mother. She couldn't imagine going her life without smiling.

She followed behind him quietly, trusting his judgement. She didn't believe he would steer her wrong. She knew he would find her a safe place to rest. So she didn't feel the need to say anything as he led her through the lands. She just gazed to her left and right, taking in her surroundings. The lands really were quite beautiful, if one took the time to examine them. The changing leaves, falling silently to the ground. The grass, still fighting to stay green. Even the air, with a slight chill to it, made her think of how simple life could be. And she was happy with where she was now, despite not knowing anything about living in the wild. She still had her doubts. How would she keep warm without her stitched blankets when the snow started falling? Where would the food come from, when the ground was covered with inches and inches of the cold, white stuff? She just had to trust that he would get her through her first winter in this place.

She was all too glad when they happened upon the fallen tree. She was about dead on her feet, but she found the sudden energy to prance into the dark space as soon as he signaled that it was clear. She pawed briefly at the hard ground, and dropped her body with a relieved groan to the dead weeds. The leaves that had fallen from the dead branches created a light barrier between her body and the ground, but she was too tired to notice. She heaved a sigh big enough to swell her chest before curling her dome towards her barrel. Her eyes closed in seconds, and she was out in just as little time, placing all trust in a stag she had just met to keep her safe from all the bumps in the night.

Professor shifted slightly as he turned his gaze. Watching as this mare quickly pranced forwards, daggers scrapping at the ground and then her body went down with a groan. Glad to see that she was relaxed now and could rest. Seeing that she had fallen quickly asleep than he thought she would do. Allowing his figure to get up and off of the ground with thorns perked upon his skull as now he promised to watch over her and now would need to get her something to much on one of these times.

So while she was off in dream world, he moved his daggers and began to trot forwards. Looking around at the woods around this place. Knowing that there were many things out here that she could eat but he would need to make sure there was water near by. He quickly motioned forwards and found himself gazing at the sight of a stream. Nodding his head before he turned and looked for the sight of fruit trees. Perking his thorns forwards when he had caught the sight of a fruit bush.

Taking his daggers and walking over to them. Snapping off the branches slowly and piling them up before he picked them all up and wandered back over towards where Jahnya lied. Taking the branches and setting them down upon the ground. Sighing slowly came from his nares before he shifted the weight his daggers were holding. Allowing his back side to face her and his skull to face forwards as he looked around. Doing what he promised and protecting this mare until she was to wake up.

JAHNYA

She could hear the faint rustling as he drug the branches to her, but she wasn't interested enough to wake from her slumber. She had grown accustomed to sleeping with one eye open, per se, but she trusted him enough to allow herself to full relax. She wasn't worried about what he was doing. He would wake her if something went wrong. And, unless that happened, her eyes would be staying glued shut.

The next thing she knew, she was waking with the setting sun. Dusk had gathered over the lands, and bathed everything in a reddish glow. Her body was stiff from staying in the same position for so many hours, but the fog had lifted from her mind. She lifted her head, and took in her surroundings. The place he had found for her to rest was much creepier in the fading light. She sniffed the air hesitantly. The scent of the fruit wafted to her, and she suddenly remembered him dragging the branches to her. Her stomach rumbled, and she was quick to launch herself to her feet. She felt almost ridiculous, taking so many things from him.

But the sharp pangs of hunger drove her to the branches. She was careful to eat just as many as her stomach could hold comfortably, before dragging the rest to where he stood, keeping guard. She was sure he was hungry as well, spending so long watching over her. This was the only way she could think of to repay him. So, quietly, she pressed her mug to his shoulder to let him know she was approaching. Granted, he probably already knew, but she wanted to make sure. She didn't want to startle the one that was doing so much for her.
