Imbri had managed to cool off a little and was about to tell the stallion her name when he mentioned her eyes. How dare he! Was he going to mock her now? Ugh! She hated that, HATED it. Why couldn't she just be different? Why did she have to have to be such a freak?
"Yes!" She shouted. "Lets all stare at Imbri the FREAK! Her eyes glow so she must be a demon!" By now Imbrium's body was shaking and her eyes were much brighter then they had been since her mother had betrayed her.

Vengeance quickly took a step back from the mare, er, Imbri? She certainly seemed to have a temper on her. Though he had to admit, he did like that about her. However, he hadn't expected her to react quite so strongly to his remark.
"I'm sorry," He apologized to her, keeping his voice calm. "I didn't mean to upset you. I just haven't met anyone outside of the herd with glowing eyes before. Only one in the herd had glowing eyes though. I think they're quite pretty actually."

At Sky's words, Imbri stopped her tantrum just as quickly as she had started it. What had he meant by his herd? There was someone else like her?
"Do you mean it?" She asked kind of softly. "Are there really others like me? Not normal like me?" She had met Thanos, and he was def... Oh wait. Was he part of THAT herd? She shuddered at the thought and immediately put her guard back up. "You're not part of that herd are you?"

He nodded to Imbri and then immediately flinched as he mentioned the herd. Did she really despise them that much? Vengeance wasn't really sure why he even cared about what this mare thought, but she was so different from the others, there was something he just really liked about her. Was it how different she was? Her temper? How fearless she seemed to be? Really he was beginning to think he loved all of that about her. Vengeance hadn't even known that he was capable of such thoughts until now.
Master. That was it. He had loved someone. He had loved his master. The man who had betrayed him, the man who had caused his death. Hatred flashed through him for a moment. Who was to say that this mare wouldn't break his heart again?
"No," He told her. "I was part of that herd. Or rather Vengeance was. I'm just Sky now. They kicked me out."

The mare could hear the sadness in his voice. Even if he hadn't meant it to be there. She wasn't really sure why he would want to be part of such a herd, but if it was all that he had known it might be hard to give it up. Especially if they were like his family. Perhaps they could start a new herd? A new family.
What the hell was she thinking? She barely even knew Sky! She didn't even know what he had done to get kicked out. Did it really matter? She supposed not, he didn't seem like one to kill one of his own kind.
"I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier." She apologized to him. "I just get so worked up over my eyes. Even my own mother thought that I was evil because of them. I don't know why I have eyes like this, I just do I guess. Do you really think that they're pretty?" She asked the stallion, fishing for compliments. He really was quite handsome.

Vengeance was glad that Imbri didn't ask why he had been kicked out. The situation was a rather long and complicated one. Plus if she was repulsed by the herd then she might not want to hear him talk about it more. The stallion really didn't want to drive her away. Not when he had finally found an intelligent mare that he could talk to. At least she didn't seem to be so foolish. Not like the ones back in the herd.
"Of course they're pretty. They look even better the brighter they glow. Though I don't like to see you upset."

At Vengeance's words Imbri's eyes flashed again, except this time it was out of happiness. It had been years since she had been this happy. Actually, she couldn't remember ever having been this happy. Most stallions avoided her or were harsh, and most horses in general thought that she was a freak. Her own mother and herd had kicked her out as soon as she was old enough. They thought that she was evil and was sure to bring bad luck.
"Thank you." Had she been able to blush she would have, as it was she could feel her cheeks getting warmer. "Do you want some help with those wounds? What happened to you?" She asked him, feeling rather bad she hadn't mentioned anything sooner.

Vengeance was glad to see that the mare's eyes grew brighter as she was happy. He liked to watch them glow, it was as if he was looking at a star in the evening sky. He was about to ask her about the thing that seemed to be entangled within her tail, but immediately forgot as she asked her question.
"Oh, well, it sort of happened when they kicked me out. I need to work on my fighting skills." He said rather regretably. He wished that he hadn't been so cowardly but he may not have had the chance to run into this beautiful mare. "I would love a little help cleaning it if you would be so kind as to lend a hand." He spoke warmly.

The black mare walked to stand next to the stallion. She carefully examined the wound for a few moments. "It doesn't look too deeep." She told him. "I think you got rather lucky. What about the rest of those wounds? We should get you to the river so I can clean them up a bit."
From what he had said, Imbri guessed that he had probably fought with Thanos. It was quite likely that he hadn't been as willing to leave as the black stallion had hoped. "I hope you got Thanos for me. He deserves it."

Vengeance followed Imbri over to the river and allowed her to clean up the wounds. Had she encountered Thanos then? He wondered what their business together had been. The gray stallion winced as the water hit his wounds. It stung but he knew if he didn't allow the mare to clean them then they would only get infected and become much worse.
"I hit him once or twice." He told her a little smugly. "Though I wish I had done some more damage. And you won't be able to clean up the rest of those wounds sweetie. They're there for life...er yeah."

Ah, so Thanos was half decayed and Vengeance had a few scratches? Imbri would take the scratches over decay any day. "I'm not your sweetie" She glared at him as she finished cleaning the wound. There, now it would be able to heal so long as he kept the dirt out of it. "You'll probably want to clean this again tomorrow too. Just to keep the dirt out."

Vengeance grinned as best as he could at her words. "What about honey? Or babe? Oh maybe even chickie?" He teased her quite happily. What had he been missing? All that time spending his second chance running errands for a stallion who didn't even appreciate him, and he could have been spending it with this mare. He didn't know what it was about her but she just made him happy, made him feel like he was at home. Whether she wanted him or not she was going to be stuck with him now. Even if it meant he had to follow her to the ends of the earth, Vengeance wasn't about to let her go.
"I don't think I can clean this alone." He told her.

Imbrium just continued to glare at the stallion. She secretly loved the nicknames but wasn't about to tell him so. "No," She told him again. "None of those."
Well now, this stallion really thought that she would just stay here and baby him? As much as her heart was telling her to stay, her brain wanted her to leave. He was another Hell horse, she had seen what had happened with Thanos and wasn't about to have a repeat. What if they had foals and he drove out hers? She wouldn't allow it to happen.
"You'll make do." She told him.

"Aww, come on darling." He said, still playful. "What if it gets all infected and then I die?" He continued on with sad eyes. Perhaps if he guilted her into staying? It was rather mean, but he could tell that this mare wasn't the sort to do anything that she didn't want to. Even if he tried to guilt her into it.
"You'd feel bad then. I know you would." He spoke again, still grinning.

So that was how it was going to be then? Alright, she would play along with it. "Well I suppose we couldn't have such a handsome stallion as yourself dieing now could we? I guess I could stay for a day or two..." She trailed off. "But you'll have to find me a place to sleep. I'm not sleeping out in the open."
Imbri glanced at the sky then. How long had they been talking? She didn't think it had been too long but the sun was going to set in a few hours and she didn't want to be out in the open at night, even with a stallion. Especially one that was wounded.
