Canyon was careful when it came to watching over his companion, he and Acacia had been friends nearly their whole lives. He tried to pay attention when it seemed like she was getting overly tired, and he did his best from getting her over excited. Most of the time they managed to keep as they were now, they were both quiet even after such an intense run. Canyon knew if he was feeling tired, she was doubly so. As he explained his plan the shimmering mare nodded without displeasure.
Canyon grinned as she lowered her head to graze without hesitation. He watched her for a moment, knowing such a peaceful afternoon was a blessing. He couldn’t allow himself to lower his guard though, and his ears and eyes continued to look out for the danger that would come in and ruin the afternoon. Eventually he lowered his head to get his own grazing in, the grass was much more palatable than the rest of the desert had to offer.
His head shot right up when Acacia called out to him. His mane bounced as his blue eyes shifted to her dainty form. She was excited more than concerned so Canyon didn’t over react as his huge hooves brought him closer to her. Curious he nosed the fruits, not missing that she had removed a bot from her own pretty lips. The horse carefully brought the fruit into his mouth and similarly enjoyed the flesh of it. He kept one eye on Acacia and another on their surroundings as he ate dinner happily. ”Seems we’ve been given a bit of luck.” He muttered as he shot her a smile.
Acacia didn’t take long to fill herself and Canyon managed to browse a bit longer, but he was making his way closer to the little filly as she settled for the night. The strawberry and cream stallion would stand while they slept, keeping an eye open for the next threat to come after them. ”Did you have a good day?” He asked softly as he watched her eyes flutter while he munched on a bit more grass. His dual toned tail flicked at his hips as he sniped the biting flies that gathered near the water. Almost absentmindedly the stallion nudged her cheek affectionately as he slipped by her form.
