Fermino courage wandered around the strange territory, he was alert and ready to run if anything popped out at him. With a snort, the chestnut stallion stopped to pick at the grass and try to pick up the scent of another horse. He'd been driven away from his last herd after being defeated by an older, more experienced stallion. Breaking into a canter, Fermino Courage whinnied letting any horse that was there know that he was too, while he cantered around the area.

Ravenna caught the scent of yet another new equine, and immediately went on full alert. This one was not a placid mare, but a stallion. Did he mean her fellows mares, or their lead, harm? Or was he but another wanderer, seeking a place of respite?
At the stallion's whinny, the ebony vixen started toward him. She came upon him as he was loping about the open plain. Ravenna stopped, and whinnied a greeting that carried through the air.

Aria was inspecting her newly gained terra, making sure everything was in order, when she heard a whinny. Auds pricked as she listened, fixing a direction on its origin. Lifting her feet, she picked up a quick tribeat in that direction, knowing that a stallion was now on her lands. The question was, why? Coming upon an opening, the mare saw two equines she did not know. One was the stallion she'd heard, a chestnut about her own size. The other was a big black mare which she had not yet met. However, she was aware that two other mares besides herself called Billow Glades home.
Halting near them, the gray took a kind, but firm stance that clearly said she was the lead in these lands, and let out a loud nicker. For a moment she said nothing, waiting for the stallion to stop.

Fermino Courage slowed to a stop once he saw the two mares, he shook his head and snorted happily. His muscles rippled as the stallion started trotting towards the two mares, he guessed the second mare he'd noticed was the lead by the way she held herself, either that or she was too proud for her own good..either way..
Stopping a reasonable distance from the horses Fermino Courage shied at nothing and nickered a greeting.

Well, at least he knew when to settle down. This one could be a handful. The stallion seemed to be young, and that could mean trouble, but Aria never passed judgement until she really got to know someone. Softening her features somewhat, she nodded a greeting to both, parting her maws to utter her welcome.
"I bid you both welcome to Billow Glades. I am Aria, and I am now lead of this terra."

With a small toss of his head, Fermino Courage squealed loudly and bucked a few times spinning around, then all of a sudden stopped and snorted...the bee was gone.
Fermino Courage pricked his ears as the mare spoke, he'd guessed right, she was the lead. Waiting for a few moments Fermino courage thought, he didn't want to get chased by a mare..what if another stallion saw? I am Fermino Courage, thank you.
For now, he'd leave out that he's the old leader of a terra a fair bit away, he still had some wounds from his lost fight, that was bad enough without a mare knowing.

Aria wasn't sure what to think of this one. What on earth...? Remembering she was in an official capacity, she kept herself from busting out laughing, though a smile did show on her face. "A pleasure to meet you, Fermino Courage. A long name for such a young horse." It was an observation that opened a door to his past, if he wished to go there. If not, then so be it. It was none of her business anyway.

Fermino Courage looked around him making sure there where no more bees, they where very scary, he got stung once..it hurt.. Turning back to Aria He listened again, and the comment on his name. It was given to me when i was young... He wouldn't go into details, the brand was still there just barely noticeable now. but given the chance, it would be likely Fermino Courage would let a human approach him, after all, he'd never had anything happen to make him fear them.

Cautious about his past, how very interesting. Well, it's not like Aria was any more open about her own past. It didn't matter anyway. His past would not affect his status in her lands. Horses were allowed to start over here, if they wished. As long as they don't cause trouble, they can stay. ooc: ok, we wait for flutter now

Ravenna watched the exchange between the newcomer and this mare that called herself the leader of these lands carefully. She gave a start when Aria introduced herself to her - after all, she had ignored her up to this point, so why the change? Suspiciously, she replied, I am Ravenna. She turned her back on the other mare then, to face the...interesting...new stallion. Welcome, Fermino Courage. It is a pleasure to meet you.

"It is nice to make your acquaintance, Ravenna." Aria let the mare finish talking before making her own speech. Not that she really owed anyone an explanation, but she thought she'd give it anyway. "Forgive me, I must have startled you when I introduced myself as lead of Billow Glades. You see, Valentino was never around, so I took his place. This terra and those within it deserve a lead who will always be there for them. Of course, he is more than welcome to stay here." Her terra it may be, but it was not her place to put him out. Valentino had done nothing wrong save neglecting this land and its occupants. Yet she didn't even blame him for that. He must have had reason for it.

Fermino Courage nodded to the mare Ravenna and started bobbing his head while snorting, he continued even while Aria was talking, the only thing that changed was he started flicking his tail around aswell. After a few long minutes, Fermino Courage stopped and shook his head. Letting out another Squeal, Fermino Courage jumped to the side and bucked.

Her attention was quickly turned back to the stallion as his antics returned. "My, but you are an odd one." There was a wide grin on her maws and a smile in her eyes as she spoke. She meant nothing offensive by the comment, it was merely an observation. He was different, and she kinda liked it.

Ravenna nodded as Aria spoke. I see. Her gaze was quickly drawn back to the newcomer. She nearly chuckled at Aria's words. Odd, indeed... She did not speak, but waited to see what the young brute's response would be to Aria's spoken observation.

Fermino Courage snorted, why didn't he notice he'd been standing on an ant nest earlier, now he had some itching his leg.. Stupid Ants. Looking at the mare as she spoke Fermino Courage laughed yea, well theres no use in being boring.. He pawed at the Ant nest and watched them move around.
