Florian realized the mares were looking at something off in the distance, turning his dial, he saw two forms, too far to make out exactly what they were, but they were making Cherokee nervous. "What's wrong lass? Can ye tell what they are?" he asked.

Billy looked over to the distance slowly and giggled.He didn't know what they were,but they sure looked funny coming over the hill.He laughed as the figures got closer.
".......What them thingz be up and doin' over there?They be headed for us all slow like an what not.Maybe they new group buddies,ya think?Ima go say wassup."he said as he began walking over to them.

Summer let out a short shrill whinny. Cherokee didn't trust them, and so she didn't either, and now Billy was going toward them? She tailed him, not really thinking of much more than redirecting him, though perhaps she should have been thinking about more.

Cherokee flattened her ears back against her neck and whinnied out a warning. "Billy, don't!" she ordered, her lead mare persona seemingly taking hold as he turned to Florian. The shapes retained their size, and with a widening of her eyes she saw the rolling hooves of shod horses. "I think it's man", she said with a worried whinny. She trotted to Billy, heart racing as she took a chunk of his mane in his teeth and pulled sharply. "Come on, this way!" she said, "you don't want them catching you, do you?" How this horse had survived into adulthood she had no idea. You had to have your wits about you in this unforgiving country, and Billy seemed to lack them. "These men aren't the ones for Summer", she said, noticing the stocky forms of the horses they rode. Men who rode such horses wouldn't own or be looking for such an elegant looking palomino as Summer. "We have to run", she said, "run to the mountains, the trees, anywhere!"

"She's right; I don't recognize these humans, so I doubt they've come specifically for me, and I think there's something about them that isn't right..." Cherokee now had her focus on Billy, so she moved away to where Florian was, prancing in place anxious to get moving. She wasn't afraid exactly, but she knew that now was not the time to take chances.

Billy giggled with a raspy voice and began trotting with the others.His trot was choppy and uneven,and he stumbled a lot.
"All right all right,my chunky gal.Ain't no need to be flippin' yo wig on stuff.I be coolin' with ya guyz in this dirt hole if ya likez.........Why we gotz ta be all runnin' an stuff?"he asked stupidly.

Cherokee gave him a sharp nip like a mother would to a rambuncious colt and chided him, "because there are men coming, and unless you want to get caught I suggest you pick up the pace a little", she said with a snort, nipping him again. She turned to Summer and nodded. "Exactly. And if you're...in some way valuable to the bipeds they might treat you a little better than they will us feral horses."

"Be that as it may lads, certianly that pair o them dinnae mean anything good toward us..." Florian said, trotting alongside the others, gently steering the odd stallion toward the treeline, away from the approaching horses. "i've learned a couple a trick o this land, lads, we should be able tae make them bugger off soon enough! With me!" the gypsy said, galloping into the undergrowth.

Cherokee sighed gratefully; at least one male knew what he was doing. She broke into a fierce gallop that was surprising for a mare with such a burden to carry, and looked over her shoulder as she did so. The pair of riders were coming up fast, and she urged herself onwards. They were becoming so close the clink of their spurs against the horses' stirrups were almost maddening to hear. She followed Florian's example and headed for the trees, trying to lengthen her stride as she reached the forest and ploughed headlong into its depths.

She bobbed her head at Cherokee's words, "Probably. In which case, I should lead the approach to humans that don't feel like these ones do, I think." As the others headed into the underbrush, she hesitated a moment, worried about getting plant debris in her mane and tail, but the sound of the fast approaching riders pushed her to follow the others in.

Billy galloped clumsily with the others as the run into the brush.He didn't know why they were running,but he was getting kinda tired.He'd much rather walk than spazz around all fast like.He looked to the pregnant mare and giggled.
"Haha!man,gurl,you sure can haul yo plump ass can't ya.Ain't be seein' a baby Momma spazz like that befo,ya heardz.You be all clompin' along an s**t.Hehehe."

Cherokee didn't slow her pace much as they entered the forest, working against the branches and ploughing through like a cart horse, legs working like pistons to power her along. She jumped over a set of vines in her way and shot back over her shoulder, "I've had to run to survive most of my life. Being pregnant isn't going to stop me surviving", to the blue roan. She turned to glance at Summer, knowing that this probably wasn't the idea of the mare's good time, but she muttered, "those men might not even be capturing for rides. They might be catching for meat, and i think a bit of discomfort will make up for living, right?" she smiled reassuringly and plunged on.

"Not the most reassuring thing tae say there lass!" Florian called back to Cherokee as he jumped over a fallen tree. His eyes searching for any sign of what he knew was nearby. There it was! Florian angled toward a particullarly think patch of overgrowth. "Through there!" he cried to the others "The wall might be thick, but we can get through it, the humans will not! It leads intae a small clearing, we should be able tae wait them out there!" He slowed, approaching the wall, but didn't stop, closing his eyes as he crashed into the thick vegitation, he pushed his way through. It was slow going, but he eventually managed to get through it. He shook off, trying to dislodge the pieces of branches and leaves that had gotten caught in his long hair as he waited for the others to get through.

The thought that humans would catch horses for meat sent a chill down her long spine, but she pushed it aside, "N-no, I certainly don't mean these humans..." She pushed onward at the rear of the group, but when she saw Florian push through what would not only catch her mane and tail, but might actually hurt her, she had to stop and brace herself before pushing through after him. Once out, she too shook off and tried to look at herself in the areas where things had poked her. She didn't like pushing through that, and there was a hint of a whine to her voice as a result, "We won't have to do that again, will we, Florian...?"

Florian shook his dial. "Nay lass, there be an easier way tae get out of here, but goin through it on the way in might have tipped them off." He walked over to Summer, reaching with his maw to remove a particullarly stubborn twig. "Ye might want tae get used it this lass, I gave up tryin tae get everything that stuck in my mane and tail out shortly after I got out here" He tossed his dial, getting his forelock out of his eyes. "With this mess i'd have been spending all sun trying tae get everything! I will say lass, as much as I like it here, I do miss a good human grooming...."
