( gonna make this short and sweet and then start something in the Basin! )
The silence held for a while, but Mauja was used to it by now. The need to think, to ponder, to weigh the options and consult heart, soul and mind — they all did it, coming here. At least she had only one offer to consider, and not four, as it sometimes were in the worst cases. He was glad it was only Arah who had come to join her, and not some other creature from another herd. Each time they won a unicorn he felt a stab of darkness in his heart, like an infection spreading from the raw wound he still bore from the defeat nearly a year ago. Some things time didn't mend. Some things time made just a hell of a lot worse. But today was a day of luck, as the mare replied to Arah, accepting her invitation, at pretty much the same time Mauja thought to ask for her name. She seemed to notice, but he wasn't sure if she cared or not — he didn't, at least. A faint smile curved his lips, the light in his eyes showing that he didn't mind, didn't think less of her for it. Arielle, or Elle, she called herself, and Arah was quick to greet her again. Mauja dipped his snowy head and took a single step forward, before reaching out his muzzle to brush it against her dark one in a gesture of acceptance. "Glad to have you, Elle," he told her warmly. "Let us go home, then." And without further ado, Mauja backed away, turned around, flicked his tail and began to head northwest, making sure to avoid coming too close to the Foothills border.

Edit: decided we could just as well join Roland and Illynx here, I'll be getting a post up shortly!
