Well this was getting tireing fast. He guess he should make an effort and speak up. Maybe getting an idea from her on HOW they are going to get their mares from each other. He stood there and contemplated on what to say but hearing her mummble something he looks at her for a second watching as she starts off. He too started after her, of course being male... He hadn't planed on anything to say.
Other then feeling like a stalker. He closes his eyes for a second and stops. What was he doing? Attempting to become out of his character? how unlike him? but... He wanted to leave the beach and try and go find some where to stay. He nods his head. Ok he made up his mind. Moving towards Xena easily he made sure to keep distance between them. "Excuse me. I can see you are just as eager to leave this place as I am.. But What do you say we try and break them apart?" Of course his voice wasn't sounding as kind as he planed on but rather it sounded more dull and completely worn out. "MY mare is a bit to playful for her own good. And if we don't break them apart. I am sure this could go on for hours." He could feel it now. A smack in the face a bitter course tone returned to him. Something he was not in the mood to hearing."I am Laios by the way." He bit the inside of his cheek as he waited and answer.

Xena heard his footsteps in the sand after her and her jaw twitched slightly. But as he came closer and spoke she stopped and looked at him. Really looked at him. Taking him in with a glance up and down. Listening to him she snorted. "Xena", she said her tone cool and emotionless. GLancing to the equines a fist propping on her hip. Ghostly gaze fell upon him again face impassive as always. "Get your beast and I'll try an get mine", she said flattly. Keeping things short and simple. She wasn't the most social of people.

He looks at her as she snorted at him and his mouth curved only slightly in disgust. We won't mention what crossed his mind for it wouldn't be to appropriate to be mentioned. He looks away from her and towards Heru who was still going at Ember with all the playfulness as when they first started. He closes his eyes for a second listening to her flat tone but he just nods his head and started off before she could say anything else or even start off on her own. He had little paitence for rude people. What he really wanted to do was slap her acrossed the face, for he was only trying to state a suggestion and instead he gets growled at. He pops his knuckles lightly. Even so. She was a beauty however. Why was it always the pretty ones with the nasty attitude? He rolls his eyes lightly and moves slowly towards his mare.

Watching hoim for a few steps before she moved after Ember. Step even and quick. Tired she may be didn't mean she didn't have some energy. Coming up on the mares she moved quickly aweay from hooves that shot out at her and moved to Ember's shoudler and gripped the saddle and grabbed for the reins. A snort of surpirse was what she got as she roughly pulled the mares head down and around to her side. The black bay side stpeed tring to pull her head up but grip was firm. Not tring to move her but to keep her in place. A few yanks on her arm Xena didn't mind. The third time she took the mares reins and wrapped theloose end from what she held around a foreleg and pulled up and the horse stopped right away. Standign on three legs now she snorted loud every few seconds before her leg was released. Xena looked to him to see if he had his horse. She was starting to grow tired again the effects of the cold water wearing slowly.

He was quick to move towards his rambunctious large mare. Who each time he grew closer she would turn her rear on him. Though she had stopped her play momentarily as Ember had been snatched. Laios moved from side to side trying to get towards her shoulder but each time he advanced she would switch her rear towards him. In all honesty he didn't want to be kicked... not by those big of hooves. Snarling lightly he kicked sand at her which sent her flying a few paces from ember giving him more space to work with on catch her. She stood towards the water slightly and stared at him as he approached. Flattening her auds at him he kept moving fowards until she gave in and moved towards him as well. Gripping the mares reigns he yanked on her and gave her a cold look saying "don't do that again." Of course he knew very well she would.
Leading his mare back up towards the other two he stopped her a few paces from them. His gaze moving towards the woman seeing if any more would be said.. or.. if anything would happen for that matter.

Rubbing the brown of her horses nose she watched him a moment. Brow cocked slightly. But when he caught the mare and headed over face turned impassive once more. He was handsome and well built. A warrior, that she knew the moment she saw him, but now she saw he could move like one as well. Impressive but she let it all stay hidden behind the mask she bore always. Nodding to him. The corner of her lips twitched in a hidden smirk. Turnign her back on him she turnd the mare and moved along careful of Embers hooves not wanting to be stepped on barefooted. The mare lifted her head with a small whicker but was pulled down instantly and made to walk on. Once reaching her boots she slipped her feet in them and pulled her-self in the saddle.

He had forgotten he hadn't had his boots on. But eyes was caught on to the woman as she seemed to eye him. Making him feel slightly uneasy. It was always eye contact that bothered him and when those ghostly blue eyes stayed on him he thought was going to end up falling over. She held this, tantalizing beauty about her. that he deffinately couldn't deny and he almost felt as though he had known her for a while though this of course wasn't true. Not in the lest bit. But however the feeling wasn't wanting to fade. He let his eyes move away when she started to move her horse away from him and Heru.
Instantly the black mare lifted her head up high and whickered to the little mare trying to pull him after her. "Heru.. NO!" he yanks on her reigns which made her bite her self he almost wouldn't doubt it. In a sort of pout Heru tucked her head towards her chest and gave the loudest grunt sound he had ever heard pass from her. His brow rose as he watched his war horse and chuckled, rubbing the bridge of her nose. "Come come now.. You had your play." He whispered gently to her. The mare's auds flicked back and forth as he rests his forehead against hers. Easily he pulled back on her and moved to where he could retrieve his boots that where flung on the beachs side. The mare moved with him slowly and as they neared the other mare. She turns her head and an almost yearning call she nickers towards her. "Shh Heru."

Ember snorted softly and moved in a circle. Pressure on her mouth told her not to while the nicker the other mare give tempted her again. Shaking her mane. Xena sighed growing tiored of this real fast. Her arms tired from all the yanking and pressure. One hand let go to rub her eyes. Bad move. Ember troted at an angle side stepping to move to the other as Xena grabbed for the lost rein and pulled the othe part. Gripping it she pulled the mare to a stop half the distance she wanted to go. "Enough with you", she said leaning forward to whisper ing the mares back turned ear. Muscles twicted under the now sweated hide of her equine.

No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get the mare to shut up. He glared at his mount. "Will you stop it?" He muttered to her. But still Heru persisted and tried to pull him in the sand. She was starting to act like she was in heat wanting to get to a stallion. "Enough!" He finally shouted which got her attention and made her stop shot. Auds flickered back at her master as she stood in her place listening to him.
he sighs and closes his eyes. He almost felt like screaming as this was getting tireing and aggrivating. "heru..." he whines to her softly he pulls on her reigns seeing as she wasn't going to move. Well Lest she wasn't moving... But... that was his next big test with her. He frowns at her lightly and punches her shoulder blade not with alot of force but enough to make him feel better. "you stubborn animal." He growled at her. And then suddenly out of no where as if some one pressed go. Heru took off towards the other mare. "Does god hate me or something??!!" Laios yelled.

Her mare pulled agaisnt the bit again. Her arms thoughtly sore seemed to scream in protest at the abuse the horse was inflicting on them. And when she heard the larger mare coming over fast she quickly slipped and boot from the stirrup and jumped down. Something that took skill on a turning mount and staying on your feet. Letting go of the mare she took a few steps back to keep away as he horse bolted after the other mare. Sitting in the sand hard she sighed rubbing her temples to tired to even bother. "Forget it", she muttered. Lifting her face to the heavens above she took a deep breath and let it out slowly looking down at her horse. At least this time she saved her-self from being thrown.

Laios sighed as he watched his mare bolt to the other. Why'd he have to have a mare who was obsessed with other mares? He turns his back on the mares and started down the bank in the other direction of all the females. Kicking sand lightly he closes his head as it lightly hangs. His arms lightly swing and before he knows it. He was on the ground laying there. Tired as hell and not willing to move any more. "If I get killed.. I blame you Heru." he mummbled into the sand. Eyes closing as brown shaggy hair gathered sand. Moving his arm, he rested his head on it as he laid on his stomach lightly looking back down at the girls.

Xena watched him from the corner of her eyes. Laying back arms under her head she sigehd tiredly and closed her eye. Ember would be there to warn her of anything playing or not. Plus the male, Laios he said his name was, was to tired to get up by the looks of it. She listened as she tried to drift off into sleep she would wake if alerted or before dawn depending on the night. Ember would sleep when she grew tired of playing and wouldn;t run off so all was well.

he soon moves his other arm and props it beneath his head as well. Lightly resting there on his stomach watching the horses before his jaden eyes close again. He trusted Heru wouldn't leave. Besides if he just got alittle bit of sleep more like a nap... Then he would have enough energy to grab her and leave. He breaths in deeply only to experience sand going up his nose. Raising his head up lightly he rubs his nose before once more laying his head back down.

Sleep over took her. Majority of the night at least. With the normal nightmares she got. But of course she woke well before dawn was to come more like a little past midnight really. The mare's must have stopped playing. For she got warm grassy breath and her horse lipping her nose. Grunting she pushed the muzzle away and sat up. Shaking the sand from her hair. EMber had shyed away when she pushed her nose away. Eyes went to the mare and she rolled them before getting to her feet. Streaching she lookd about. It was still dark but the moon was possitioned differently telling it was later. Brushing the sand away from her nap on the beach she looked at her horse who watched her head low.

Laios had finally drifted into sleep as he listened to the romping and playing of the mares. It took them a while to finally give up on their play and about an hour after he was awake again. Most of the time he just laid where he was, stareing out at the ocean watching as it drifted to shore and then swept back into sea. Finally feeling good enough to raise up he had. It was way earlie in the morning and by the looks of it all the girls were asleep still. Sitting up on his bottom, he crossed his legs and shook the sand loose from his hair. Rubbing his hand over his eyes he cleared them of sleep. Turning lightly he spots Heru not to far off from him watching. A side ways grin crossed his features as it seemed she had just awakend as well as the other mare who went moving towards her mistress. Getting to his stiff striken legs he stood and stretched. Muscles shifting in figorous areas. Moving his neck back and forth popping it, then raising his hands high above his head did he stretch. It didn't take long for his mare to raise to her feet. Moving towards her master she greeted him and then quickly went after the other mare before he had time to think about it. Trudging after her Laios grabbed his boots on the way. In a walking type fashion did he slip them on.
Heru nipped the hip of Ember gently before letting her eyes move to Ember's mistress. Harks flicked back and forth as she could hear Laios coming up towards them.
