Pandora ~ Bachelor Slave
It was late, the dead of night and all was quiet many of the herd were fast asleep dreaming the night away under the pale moonlight. But one mare was only pretending to sleep, she waited for the stallions to make their rounds checking over the mares before even daring to move. Slowly she lifted her head checking to make sure the coast was clear before easing to her feet, giving no glances back she moved her usually golden coat in the silver light of the moon a lovely champagne colour but it still shimmered as she walked. She didn't bother checking if she was being followed, after all if she had been spotted leaving then most of the stallion would have already stopped her by now.
Her lithe compact frame weaving between the trees as she made her way to a lovely clearing, by day filled with flowers and lush grass but tonight it was dotted with a moonlit mist about the place which gave it both eerie and mystical qualities. It was things like this that she loved, it was the perfect place to just let loose. Without a second thought she placed herself in the middle of the clearing taking a moment to breath and enjoy the night air. Then a second later she was off, the dance had begun twirling around and around even rearing as she did so. She was letting loose all her thoughts and feelings about the war, the dance picked up she even tumbled and rolled like horses being struck, then only to re-enact fighting moves she had practiced time and time again with her father making it part of the dance. Highlighted by the moon her shadowed form moved gracefully it was quite the show and real enough in it's moments too look like she was fighting yet dancing with an invisible horse.

Ryan was standing far off from the broods. The bachelor stallion had done his fair share of work for the day and was ready to take a nap before the next light of morning would appear to color the sky with pinks and oranges. As he was about to turn a movement caught his eye. 'A brood' he thought though he wasn't sure which one in the dark lighting. The stallion next to him had noticed and moved to go run after but Ryan stopped him. "I got it." he mumbled to the stallion. Ryan trekked down the gently sloped hill and over to where she had disappears, her scent was already starting to fade and mix with the forest. Curious of the brood he walked after her, following her scent and in no hurry to fine her. After maneuvering his large body through the trees he saw her.
His eyes swept over the clearing, it looked like a broods tale he had heard when he was young. Now he was focused on her. Her black mane had a silvery shine from the moon, her coat looked white washed in the clearing, truly breath taking. He watched as the mare began to move. It wasn't terribly hard to guess what she was thinking about. The war. He had fought in it and watching it made him even more curious of her. Like a cat stalking its prey he walked foreword out of the trees. 'She must know this is breaking the law.' he thought. His eyes trained on her as he moved. "My dear, what are you doing?" he asked, but he wasn't angry just curious. Too often the mares stayed cooped up. It wasn't to surprising to see a few get sick of being stuck, but dance? He had never seen a brood dance.

Her dance was violent and beautiful, she was putting her heart and soul into it every breathe every flick of the tail or tilt of her head was to aide in the dance even though she danced for no one. Alone she danced for herself, she was allowed to be wild and as passionate as she wanted to be. She didn't even see the stallion until he spoke cutting off the dance. She stopped everything but her breath which was soft, lightly panting due to the racing of her heart. She let that jet black mane of curls fall over her as she shook her head stepping back a moment from him not sure what to say to the stallion. He had rightly caught her breaking the law, by all means it was his right to punish her. But she didn't look afraid more calm, her eyes were a blazing hot gaze for a moment when she first looked at him but slowly cooled into soft pools of pink.
She was settling down when she answered him with a soft gentle voice, polite and calm "Dancing.... forgive me for wandering off but it is hard to dance when you are surrounded by horses. I did not mean to disturb you this night, I promise I am not trying to run away"

The corner of Ryan's mouth twitched up 'definitely and interesting brood.' He thought. "I see." He said, walking foreword, head held high. His light green eyes watching her, waiting for her to move. Like a rabbit caught in the state of a cougar. "My dear dont worry about that.." His said slowly as his eyes tore off of her and raked over the clearing. "What a beautiful spot." He said quietly and looked back to her, the curious gleam in his eye now seemed permanent. "My beauty, how would you like to dance with a beast?" He asked, meaning himself. Sadly that wasn't far off from his attitude. A beast is the best way to describe a stallion like him.

She stayed perfectly still as he approached only the flash of her throat as she breathed was the only indicator other then her eyes watching him that she was naught but a graceful statue. Thought it was his words that his words that got her ears moving back in uncertainty, finally moving to step back as she lowered her head performing a sort of curtsy before standing again ".... it would be a pleasure, how can I refuse? I would be in debt to you if you forgave my transgression, one dance is not a bad price even if it is with a beast" Pandora at that turned from him as she took off prancing through the clearing around him, this dance though was different it was pointed and graceful but wary, it wasn't the dance of a passionate wild mare but more like the graceful dance of a doe. She moved around him but never got close as if he were truly some beast or predator.

Ryan saw her courtesy and returned it with a low bow, then hefted himself up. He watched her dance, the way she gracefully moved around him. It was beautiful to watch, the effects of the moon shining only made it more beautiful and intriguing to watch. His smile returned as he started to move. At first it felt odd, his joints made a cracking sound from the sudden movement as he turned to face her. Seeing how she danced like prey he danced like a predator. His dance started slow, careful, and a little clumsy thanks to his size but after a few steps he got better. He would take long extended but slow strides to her and tossed his head every once in awhile throwing his short mane back.

She smiled at him watching him move with her, each time he got close she playfully dashed away leading him in a circle but always seemed to step forward to beckon him after her, her dance was now was much less violent as she twirled about even jumped in little leaps like a deer's graceful stride flicking her tail from side to side as she tossed her mane with it. Chuckling as she watched him until eventually she closed the gap between them only to dance out of his reach, now the mare was playing with him for it had been ages since she had a dancing partner. Teasing him every time she got close watching him with her shinning eyes, eventually settling in the middle of the clearing.

Ryan's lips twitched up into a smile as he watched the mare. He had started to notice her pattern had changed instead of keeping a 'safe distance she would allow him to get closer. Close enough he could graze her side with his muzzle. He shook his head, kicking up his hooves and gently pushing her side whenever he could. Always extending his neck in hope of reaching closer to her, yet she always danced out of his reach in the end. The brute watched as she made it to the middle. He looked her over before slowly joining her. Surprised at how tired he felt, after all maneuvering his large body like that was a lot of work. His sides movment had slowed down after a few seconds after catching his breath. He looked to the mare, after a few seconds he smirked at her.

Pandora took deep long breaths to get much needed air, she wasn't sure what to make of the stallion... the look in his eyes, the way he reached out during the dance. She hoped she tired him out, seeing him slow and have to catch his breath confirmed the idea that he was so she doubted he would try to act on his advances. Though they weren't completely unwelcome after all he had proven himself a fine dancer, needed a little work but still. She slowly approached him returning his smirk with one of her own as she kept her head high and walked around him looking over his tired body "Well... I must say that you were not half bad" completing a full circle round to stop before him "then again you have been the only dance partner I have had so far" letting out a small chuckle.

Once Ryan was calmed down from the dance completely he sat down, like a dog. The buckskin draft smiled hearing Pandora talk. "I can safely say that a body like mine is not quite built for dancing." He said watching her walk around him curiously. He liked the buckskin mare, she seemed feisty not one to listen to others with out a real reason. He listened to her talk again before saying "Aww, I think I'm better than most." He said acting cocky, nothing out of the usual. He looked up to the sky seeing the only things that could help them see was the moon and the stars. He sat back more on his butt and heard a stick snap, "Oops." he said embarrassed of himself for doing that.

She laughed at the poor tired stallion moving closer to him now and listening to his words as she nodded her head before the sharp sound of the snapping twig caught her attention fast causing her to jump a little before she caught sight of the stallion's embaressed look. At that she couldn't help but break down into laughter at the stallions expense shaking her head from side to side. She eventually calmed into just short giggles looking over Ryan as she held her head up "Mmmm... perhaps you shall have to work on your grace and finesse, or else we shall have to warn all the sticks in the area to be aware" teasing him lightly as she moved in to stand beside him lazily swishing her tail as she bent her head down to him "But you make a cute clutz, so perhaps it is forgivable"

Ryan watched the buckskin mare ad she came closer. Ryan's face felt a little hot as she started to laugh at him, but after a few seconds he joined in chuckling at himself. "Ah yes I feel like that would be a good idea, they might escape intact that way." He said, thanks to his large body snapping twigs and sometimes splitting small stones was a breeze and required no thought or extra effort. He let out a sigh and watched as Pandora came even closer. Hearing her call him cute he barked out a laugh, "Well then, I must have a profession in this then." He joked. After enjoying the peace and quiet for a few more minuets he hefted himself up with a lough grunt and then shook himself out, almsot landing on his face doing so. Quickly recovering he started talking, "My dear we should head back soon. I fear the others might start to get suspicious and you might be accused of some horrible things." He said concerned for her now.
