The Cool Thing

[[R].ebel]

Coldheart’s ears pricked to Graystorm’s words, but the hatred never left her eyes. Somehow, though Coldheart was only supposed to hear the stallion’s words, Ennui somehow picked them up. When the mare attacked, Coldheart took Graystorm’s advice and just dodged the attack, making no move to fight.

“Alright, Ennui, what do you really want? What will keep your trap shut?”

[Swifthoof]

His eyes widened as Ennui attacked again and he dodged to the side, snorting. Temper, temper.. he said, a small smirk crossing his maw as his ears pricked to Coldheart's words. Tossing his head, he kept his eyes on both mares in case things became ugly.

[andiroo]

Ennui froze. Resorting to bribery? she laughed, tossing her head, causing her deep black mane to fan out slightly. Coldheart, Coldheart...you should know by now that this isn't about gaining something...It's about stirring things up. It's gotten boring around here, in case you hadn't noticed. I figure if Alasdi catches you with your Cimarron lovetoy, it'll help become that final push that we need to start the final battle with the Cimarron, for domination of the territories. Once and for all, the dark mare explained, pawing the ground aggresively to demonstrate her point.

Ennui tilted her head slightly to the side, sizing up the small mare and the stallion. A small plan formed quickly in her twisted mind...

I've thought of something you can do for me, Coldheart, to get me off your back... Ennui casually turned her neck down towards her hindend, scratching the top of her head with one dark hoof. You can turn yourselves in, she grinned darkly, hazel eyes malicious.

OOC: I didn't even notice that Greystorm was talking just to Coldheart, I must have read the post too fast, sorry! >.<

[[R].ebel]

OOC: It's alright. That stuff happens. ;D Oh, I have another plot idea in mind... *grins*

Coldheart's eyes narrowed at the mare's words but she stayed cool. Then her eyes flashed to Graystorm and she chuckled.

"Wow, I never thought I was so convincing."

The bay mare suddenly turned on Graystorm, ears pinned and teeth bared, tail swishing in irritance. But out of sight from Ennui, Coldheart gaze a slight wink.

"You know, when I first caught you out here over the summer... I knew you had to have been trespassing on your own free will... and I knew just the way to get you to admit that... And you did. Alasdi will be pleased to know that I single handedly brought in a trespasser and made you confess. Not to mention, my rues actually made a fellow Darksun fall for it too... I must be better than I thought..."

[Swifthoof]

The stallion snorted as Ennui spoke, his eyes narrowed at her request. Shifting his weight from one hoof to the other, he tossed his head and watched as Coldheart turned on him, ears pinned. He raised an eyebrow in a confused gesture before he saw her wink at him. He blinked, understanding as his ears pricked at her words and he smirked. Just don't get too conceited now.. he said, grinning.

[andiroo]

OOC: Sounds like fun, if it's what I think it is...

IC: Ennui snorted in surprise at Coldheart's sudden change of heart. Is that so? Coldheart, you must be a better actress than I remember, she exclaimed, hazel eyes flashing from the stallion to the mare. She watched Coldheart turn on her now enemy, having apprarently used her 'feminine wiles' to capture the trespassing Cimarron. Ennui was beyond skeptical, raising an eyebrow in suspicion; however, she would play along, for now. What she had seen between the two was too genuine to simply be tactics to rat him out, and she was determined to get them both in trouble...though just the stud would do if Coldheart playacted well enough. So what to do with the poor Cimarron who fell in love with the Darksun who doesn't love him... Ennui let out a neigh of laughter, moving closer, though cautiously. She didn't trust either of them as far as she could throw them.

[[R].ebel]

Coldheart didn't know what should be done herself. She thought carefully and slowly, processing every possible bit of information she knew.

"It's tough choice... either get Alasdi or take care of it ourselves."

She didn't want Graystorm to get hurt but she figured as long as she kept buying time, something would come in thier favor.

[Swifthoof]

Auds pricked to the mare's words, but he kept silent, patiently awaiting his fate. At Coldheart's voice, he flicked his eyes toward her in a questioning gaze. What do we do now? he seemed to ask as he turned back to the other mare, Ennui. He could tell she didn't trust them and was possibly just playing along, but who knew?. Snorting, he took a few steps back before lowering his head to graze. Well, while you two wait in which way I should possibly die, I'll just be grazing here, if you don't mind he said, taking a few stalks of grass from the ground.

[andiroo]

Ennui snorted. "If it's between those choices, I suggest that you fetch Alasdi and I'll remain here to watch the Cimarron, the dark mare decided, stamping a hoof and switching her tail impatiently. "Unless anyone else has a better idea," she added, lowering her head to graze from the slightly browning grasses, crunching a mouthful in near silence as she observed the two.

your S I C K

There were three of them. Two scents he recognized. One he didn't--one smelt of Cimarron. No fighting, no bloodshed--just all three of them, grazing and talking.

The blood-bay flattened his ears, and stepped into the clearing. His eyes narrowed in disapproval as he studied the trio. Coldheart and Ennui were there, two of his own mares, but what was that Cimarron stallion doing here?

"Is there a problem?" His voice was clipped--that was just his accent--but otherwise , deceptively calm. He gave a disapproving look at the gray stallion, eyes dark with arrogance and the slightest hint of anger.

S I C K as all the S E C R E T S that you D E N Y

[Uwahh, I fell off the planet for a little bit there, didn't I? I guess it's Rebel's or Swift's turn to post. ^^;]

[Swifthoof]

His sharp ears quickly picked up on Alasdis voice and he turned his head to face him, his blue eyes filled with alarm. Flicking his eyes to the other mares, he took a step back keeping his head high in defiance despite his mind telling him to be submissive. Snorting, he shook his head. No, no problem here..I was just leaving. he said, taking a few more steps back, but somehow he couldn't actually leave. He knew if he left, Ennui would tell Alasdi about him and Coldheart, but if he stayed...she would most likely tell him anyway. Might as well stay....and hope I make it out alive
