Manovia's eyes went wide as she watched Wambli take flight, never once doubting the mare could do it, but simply as awestruck as James undoubtly was. Pawing the ground, the grulla mare hopped on her front legs, letting them leave the ground every once in a while to paw the air. Her own hind legs were gathered underneath of her again as she wanted to bolt and run underneath of Wambli's flight. But she was expertly held in place by her master as he watched the flight. As Wambli landed, Manovia broke free from James' reined in hold and trotted to her newfound friend. "That was incredible! Those wings must be really strong to carry you and your friend around. I can't imagine what it must be like!"
James was speechless. He too couldn't even begin to imagine the power behind those wings. While his voice was silenced, his eyes said volumes, the excited twinkles they held brighter than any words he could've said.
Manovia pawed at Wambli, then glanced off ahead of them. "You're great at flying! But, can you run?" The mare crowhopped slightly, anxious to get some of this pent up energy out of her. Weeks upon a boat with nowhere to run is no way to live. She needed to use muscles that had been dormant for some time now. A good run would do her, and James a WORLD of good.

"I worked a long time to be strong enough to fly," Wambli admitted. "And I love to run, but I fly faster!" she added with a laugh. "Do you run? Does all the stuff you wear slow you down?"
Anpo smiled at the look on James' face. She knew that feeling - she had had it herself the first time she had seen Wambli in full flight. Determined to garner more language, she called out to him. "James, Wambli" and she patted the mare's neck " fly!" and she made flapping motions with her arms.

James nodded, laughing as Anpo flapped her arms and said 'fly'. "Yes! Yes! Wambli," he stumbled slightly over the name, "can fly!" Patting his own mount's neck, he tried to introduce her to Anpo. "Manovia!" Pointing to the mare, he repeated the name. "Manovia, run!" And he made a running sign with his fingers, running them along his other hand.
'Via tossed her head, allowing her tack to jingle merrily. "Not really. It mostly keeps him from falling off, when jumping over things, or running really fast. He thinks it helps communicate where he wants to go as well." Her ears perked up at the sound of the word run. Oh she knew what that meant, but she waited. "My name's Manovia, like he said. You wanna race?"

"Fly!" Anpo repeated in his language then "Run" first in English and then in hers. "Manovia no fly, run!" she slowly said in English hoping she had it right. Then with a burst of memory, "Manovia, run now Wambli?"
"Race? Yes! And I could see where that stuff would be handy. Anpo holds on with her legs and her hands in my mane. Sometimes she puts a hide or blanket on my back if we're going for a long ride. She usually walks though." Hopping on her front legs a little to warn Anpo she was about to take off in motion, Wambli tensed, ready to run. "Shall we go to the rnd of the meadow & back?"

James nodded, feeling his companion's excitement beneath his legs. "Yes! Manovia run with Wambli!" Easing himself into position, knees bent, seat poised, reins loose, James patted the sweat dampened neck.
The grulla mare's eyes blazed in excitement. "End of the meadow and back it is!" With a leap, 'Via was given her head and bolted, legs pounding like pistons against the ground, gaining speed with every stride. Her mane and tail streamed out behind her, the former whipping at James' cheeks and all but blinding him. Letting out a shrill whinney, the mare called to her running companion, listening for the sounds that she was being followed.

An answering whinny came from the dark wind soquili, followed by a wild whoop from the human on her back. A thunder of hooves echoed down the meadow as the two mares raced, Wambli just behind Manovia the whole way. When they came to the stream that marked the meadow's edge Wambli came to a rearing halt her joyous cry ringing out across the grasses.
"You are fast - and that was fun!" she said in delight!

exclaim CONCLUSION
Some settlers will go back to their fort and others can live with the Soquilis and Indians. Just whatever you prefer to do. The Kawanis and the settlers are now peaceful.

Manovia's halt was accompanied by a soft buck, kicking her heels up at the sky. It was almost as if she'd forgotten James was upon her back still. Thankfully he'd managed to hold on, laughing as he tried to soothe her calm so that he didn't lose his seat and end up a pile of embarassment upon the ground.
-------------
It seemed that for the rest of the day, they were inseperable, the two equines chatted away about their homes, standing side by side as their masters worked on each other's languages. A pair of friendships were born, ones that would hopefully last as the settler and his mount both began to think that going home might never appeal to them. With such friendly friends here, who would want to go home?
((Wrap up done with Harper's approval and permission, allowing both soquilis freedom to rp elsewhere if needbe XD))

Bhavesh The young man noticed a smaller girl too he waved a little to her and continued to walk closer to them and brush off the mud he could. He looked at Taroji and that stupid stallion looked as calm as always, he hated when he did that always being so calm and never annoyed..
" Oh i am Bhavesh nice to meet you both...the horse here is Taroji and you sure he is being nice? "

Taroji layed there and looked calm and happy it was nice being hugged by someone else then just Bhavesh and she smelled diffrent too, maybe indian girls did?
He looked at Bhavesh with his pinkand orange eyes and then at the girl apparently called Summer. Humans where always so funny to look at you could see that he was amused..

" O..oh ok sounds good then i guess "
The man scratched his neck a little and pulled a hand trough his brownish hair he looked a little confused but he guessd that Taroji couldn't be stubborn always maybe they had been haning out to long or Taroji just loved making fun off him. He looked at the girl hugging his friend..
" And yes he loves getting me into trubble like before when he throw me off in a pud off mud "
He looked around the area things seemed to have settled down here he smiled that was good.

Summer Jessamin giggled, picturing Taroji throwing Bhavesh. "That does make him a bit of a trouble maker then.. but that's okay, because I'm always getting in trouble too!" She continued to pet Taroji, he was just too soft. How did he get so soft? She wondered.

Bhavesh cleared his trought and decided to walk over to his friend and Summer he sat down next to Taroji's free side and put his arms around his knees. He didn't feels so good about taking a rest now when he was all muddy but Taroji seemed to want to stay..
" Oh ok is that good or bad?and be glad that Taroji likes you, he is a wild horse you know he usually dn't eccept others that easily "
He patted Taroji some on his neck and decided to make a new braid in the males tail.

The wild horse that he apparently was yawned and out down his head in Bhavesh lap, his male friend probably was a little surprised that he did that but he felt tired after all walking. He puffed Bhavesh leg a little with his nose and made an almost soundless horse noise with his mouth.
He waved his tail after Bhavesh finished another braid in his tail he really loved those braids and Bhavesh loved making them so they where even..

"I only do troublesome things to my sister. She's just ... too gullable for her own good." Summer laughed. "And for being wild, you've done an excellent job at befriending him then." She had seen some people who had wild horses that seemed more feral than anything else, but this was a very sweet horse, Bhavesh had both talent and a special connection with Taroji.
