Seven days in the sun

The little mare could sense the varying emotions in the wolf and her glittering pelt quivered again. His emotions made her even more anxious. When he told her to do whatever, she hesitated, but slowly picked her way around to the other side of the small pool. Ears were flicked forward in utter alertness. Muscles were bunched, ready to flee at a moments notice. Skittish was an understatement when it came to Acacia. Lowering her velveteen lips to the pool, the mare drew the water into her mouth and instantly felt relief. She had been incredibly thirsty.

Blue eyes rolled, taking in the sight of the canine. He seemed to be studying her. Hard. She could see the gears turning in his head almost. Eventually he asked what she was, but seemed to speak a little carelessly. Maybe he wasn't properly socialized. Wolves didn't have the same structure that herds did. She'd always been told they were a little uncouth. Raising her head, she gave it a shake, glittering mane tossed about. "What am I?" Had he really never seen a horse before? The woman tilted her head slightly. "A horse? A mare?" She shrugged lightly. "I'm Acacia." She gave her name. What else really mattered?

The charcoal and snow mare took yet another drink from the pool, filling herself up a bit before her long trek back to the oasis. Droplets of water clung to pale lips when she straightened once more. "Is there a pack near here? Are you part of it?" She wondered why a wolf would choose to be alone in the world. Then again, he was a predator. Life was a lot easier for predators than it was for grass grazers like herself.
