Winry listened to Phantoms words and even pulled her head back when they were about her. She didn't know this mare but Trigger seemed to trust her enough. Though Phantoms words were less than pleasant Winry took them in stride, viewing the lone mare as some sort of rough necked nomad. They have to be tough in order to survive. So her only response was a soft closing of her pale eyes and a head held a little more upright " I understand your worries Lady Phantom about me or The other mare. But I assure you, Whom ever Trigger picks will be well suited for the job. besides, not all Mares are as tough and experienced as you deary." her voice was calm and elegant as she spoke. Her eyes opened to notice that the other mare had fallen back, her head turning back to see. shy mare, sweet but flimsy. She thought to herself. Than turned to look at Trigger who seemed to be lost in thought for a moment. But soon he had noticed this new mare, about the same time she did. The herd halted and the jumble started but Winry kept her place beside Trigger and everyone crowded around this... crazy mare... But before she could warn Trigger to be careful of those that seem sick in the mind, he spoke to her,but soon was distracted by the two voices coming from the back. Two new ponies. The way they stood together, the side glances. She didn't know for sure if there were mates. but she would assume they were for the time being. She offered them a gentle smile through her dusty and reddened face, the color stood out on her pale coat where ever it clung. She puffed pridefully beside Trigger and gave a soft bow of her head, staying quiet as to not interrupt their stallion.Discordia noticed the others when Trigger said "uh" and only then, for she was in a slight trance with her chanting and off notch dancing. She stopped and her head came up, and her whole head took on a tilt in an strange looking way, The hot air around them carrying her milky locks here and there. She watched him, and her eyes looked at the rest slowly, her pupils being smaller than most at this moment. She didn't attempt to respond to Trigger's question just yet, newcomers came and she listened. A heard? Her ears swiveled in the wind as if listening to something other than Trigger's welcome to the two new ones. She spoke but not to anyone there, her eyes lifted and her nose as well, her head still cocked. " Is this what I am waiting on? Eyes to see and legs to run and defend?" she went quiet a moment and rather unblinkingly at the air and spoke again " Why are you quiet now? Not just a few morns ago a tongue shriller than all the music called me here." Her voice was not very loud, she was rarely ever a loud mare. Her head lowered down and she peered through her mane at Trigger looking him dead in the eyes a moment before She lowered her head and picked up her small stack of herbs in her mouth and walked up to him, on the side we was turned away from her on when he was looking at the two new comers. If he turns back to look at her, she will be very much up in his space and staring with pricked ears dead into his eyes as if looking for something. The smell of the herbs was not just from what she had in her mouth, but also all over her, as if she rolled in them frequently.

Pair of dark ears swivels around as a mare finally appeared on her radar with her odd manner of talking and movements and she stares at Discordia with an odd expression before she remembers that it is a possible that she's a shaman and nobody is aware of it. As a prissy mare that calls herself Winry replies to her, the mare had to force herself to look away from the odd mare and stare at Winry in annoyance because she feels like other mare is just going "There, there.." at her. Lifting her head up little bit, Phantom stares down at the mare with an icy stare as she had to refrain herself from doing something that she will regret down the road and after few heartbeats of staring down, she just simply .... smiles. There is something unsettling about a mare like her suddenly smiling after being irritating but.. that's what she's doing.
"And that's a sad truth." Phantom simply murmurs to Winry with that unsettling smile before she turns away when the herd starts to make a messy half circle around that odd mare. Her ear turns into the direction of Trigger to see what he would react to this odd mare and two new comers that is approaching them from behind. Those two newcomers are not exactly quiet and she heard them coming from a good distance away, Phantom shakes her head with a mental irritated sigh. "Uh... Are you alright?" is what Trigger said and Phantom had to fight that urge to plant her face against a cactus because it will be less painful than seeing an young inexperienced stallion trying to lead a herd (and failing miserably at it).
Traditionally, lead mare is usually mated to lead stallion and stands as unified front for their herds but therein lies a problem in this situation.. Phantom have no interest in being mated to someone at all. Phantom shoots Trigger an irritated glance because Trigger is basically being an idiot right now and the sun is setting. The female stomps on the well-worn path in annoyance as she stares at the stallion soundlessly, her reproach is heavy in that stare. "Screw Misty. You guys are on your own. I am going to find a shelter." She finally says after few minutes of waiting and she turns around, leaving them all behind while she walks down the path. She knows there is a decent cave up ahead but it will take a quite while to get there.

Miela blinked lightly as the herd acquired new members she glanced at the newcomers "Welcome, we are just on a long journey so hopefully you will find a place in the herd that suits you" she told them and shifted her gaze to Winry, she was starting to get annoyed with her too. She took in a breath and let it out to release the tension. "Hey Trigger!! we need to find shelter, its getting dark and I'd Rather not chance our small herd in the dark" she exclaimed. "We can...continue at the break of dawn" she put in. She looked at their slowly herd, she would need to lag behind a little more, if they got more, as long as all the herd members were present and none got lost, she was fine. It wasn't more on the fact that she was shy and quiet it was more on fact that she was doing it for the safety of the herd.Yes, they were travelling through the desert, yes, Trigger was inexperienced lead stallion but at the same time he also needed more practice and he was more focused on facing forward then checking back to make sure no one was lost, that was why she lagged back to make sure they avoided losing one of their herd members.

“Um.” Trigger found himself face to face with the strange, chanting mare. Except she wasn’t chanting anymore, but saying something about… waiting? And legs? And tongues? “I’m not sure what you’re waiting for. But it’s dangerous, you know, to be out in the desert alone. We are all crossing through to get to a place called Big Thunder. You can go there with us if you like?”
She didn’t say much, though. She just stared at him, her eyes intense and her flank scented with herbs. Trigger held her gaze a while, because it wasn’t his role to be afraid of such things. He had just asked the mare if she wanted to follow along with his herd -- he wasn’t going to be caught looking like he wasn’t sure about that decision! So he stared back a while, until there were calls from the other herd members and talk about seeking shelter for the coming darkness. Phantom had already trotted off in the direction of the nearing mountains, and Miela proposed a plan to stay put until dark so as to make sure no one got lost.
He wanted to make for Big Thunder as fast as possible, but they were both right. They did not know this land well, and they did not know the way. Besides, they were tired. He only hoped they would find somewhere to rest with water to drink, or they would all wake up thirstier than they already were.
“Ok, let’s go find shelter. Phantom? Phantom, where are you going?”
Suffice to say that he was fairly used to mares storming away from him, to he took no offense to her receding rump. He just trotted after her, glancing around to make sure the others were following before speaking again.
“Do you know where there is shelter? And water?”

Miela redirected the herd to the side from behind "I'm sure there is a place for shelter and to give us water somewhere nearby" she proposed as she followed Trigger and made sure the herd stayed close together. She swished her tail to and fro, she really hoped they would get to Big Thunder soon, but knowing her herd and Trigger they were getting tired of this long journey and needed a place to settle down for the rest of their lives."Trigger as a lead stallion you need to find these sources on your own, instead of relying on someone else to do it for you" she told him.

Phantom went on ahead without speaking, likely having lost her patience after all the hubub from the rest of the herd. Trigger sighed, but with a flick of his mane he decided to follow her anyway. The others seemed too tired to present any different ideas (and he certainly didn’t blame them, for his own hooves were feeling quite heavy indeed).
Only Miela sped up to walk beside him again, her tail swaying behind her in the cooling desert breeze. He listened to her words but did not answer, although it was clear that he heard her and was thinking hard about what she said.
“Well, I sure hope shelter’s not far away, no matter who finds it.” He finally spoke. They were starting to climb now, up the first slopes of the Red Mountains, and although the terrain was not yet steep it was difficult going for those who were tired, thirsty, and starting to become quite cold. “I feel like I could lie down and rest for days!”
