Flint trotted briskly into his familiar territory, looking around. Everything looked the same and in order. No other stallions around thank goodness. He stopped in the clearing and turned around to see Rhiannon trotting towards him. " Welcome to your new home, Ria," he nickered. " Hope you like it. Would you like a tour of it?" Flint tossed his mane out of his eyes. Just then he saw a snowflake falling down, then another and another. Oh no! Winter was here! Even though Flint was born to survive the harsh, cold winter, he had a past of it. He looked at Rhiannon." Do you like winter,Ria?" He had a worried look on his face.

Rhiannon walked slowly into the territory with the snow starting to swirl around her. She stopped by Flint's side and nuzzled him gently. "It is beautiful here. I would love a tour." Rhiannon let a shiver run through her body. She was an arabian and therefore used to warmer climates, although her winter coat had grown in. "I don't like winter, but I will survive. I am used to warmer climates." Rhiannon lowered her head to bite at the small bits of grass that were still alive. She had to eat to make sure that the foal would survive.

" Yes, I am made for winter but my past history dosen't like it. All right, let's take a tour and then rest for a while. We've been traveling almost all day and I wouldn't mind a rest." Flint started walking towards the closest end of his territory. He thought they could circle the perimeter and make they're ways inwards after that. He got to the perimeter and then stopped to wait for Rhiannon. He watched as the beautiful, gray, Arabian mare came striding towards him. Then Flint looked up at the sky. It was snowing much harder now. He sighed. By morning they would have at least a foot of snow. Flint only hoped it stopped soon.

Rhiannon followed Flint. She looked at the snow and shook it from her pelt so that she and her foal would not freeze. She hated winter and all the cold that came with it and the muddy beginning to spring that also came when the snow melted and caused the land to often flood. She sighed and continued to walk with Flint as she thought of Tequila Action and longed for the chance to see him just one more time, a chance for him to see his foal, and a chance for their foal to see him.

Flint saw Rhiannon shiver and walked very close to her to give her as much warmth from his body to her's as he could. Unlike Rhiannon, Flint was built for this type of weather. He had a much thicker, warmer winter coat than she did and could hold the warmth his body made much better. As Flint snuggled up next her he could feel the foal kicking inside Rhiannon's stomache occasionaly. He could understand why Rhiannon would giggle when it kicked because it made him laugh too. But he kept his laugh inside and instead decided to start conversation. " Are you alright Ria darling?" Flint had heard the sigh and saw the worried look that swept over Rhiannon's beautiful, Arabian face. " Is something troubling you? You look worried about something. You can tell me if you want." Flint tried to sound encouraging, but worry kept flooding his voice. He had a concerned crease forming on his forehead, like an artist making the picture, but much quicker.

Rhiannon smiled at Flint and then spoke. "Nothing major, just thinking about Tequila Action and wishing that he could see the foal and that the foal could see him. Maybe one day he wil come back and they will meet. Maybe the two of you would become great friends, if he every comes back..." Rhiannon sighed again and walked around some more. Even the beauty of Rainbow Ridge wouldn't cheer her up completly. She sighed, btu she giggled when the foal kicked a few times.

Flint frowned, but didn't show it to Rhiannon. "Ria, dear, we can go see Tequila Action, if you want, if we can find him. We could rest for two days here and then go find him? I wouldn't mind meeting him myself, and I'm sure we could become fabulous friends, but I don't think he will really like that I have you as my mare now. I mean, things could get a little out of hand maybe, and I don't want that to happen with your foal and well..... yah........" Flint didn't really now what to say. He didn't want Rhiannon to think that Flint didn't like her, or that she had to go back to Tequila Action. He had just gotten a mare and didn't want to lose her so quick. " But of course if you want to go Ria darling, I would love to go." But even Flint wasn't so sure that this was a good idea.
