Description
Hunter awoke to something trotting past him. He stayed quiet, eyes closed. When he heard the sound of rapid drinking, he jerked his head up and looked around. There was a mare, a few feet away from him gulping down water, staring fearfully at him. He took a moment to stand and as he did, she flinched and stumbled back.
"D-don't hurt me!"
That's when he noticed all of her scars. Bites from all sorts of animals, scratches across her back, he noticed how beat up she looked. Yet, she had this grace about her, that was alluring. He took a step towards her, then another. Slowly, he made his way over to her.

She stood there, frozen in fear, unable to move, as the strange stallion walked up to her, staring at her blankly. Was he going to hurt her? Chase her away? Just like everyone else did? He arched his neck over to her own. She closed her eyes tightly.
Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.
Then she felt gentle tugging on her mane. And a deep voice rose to her ears.
"Stay still. I don't want to hurt you. There's a massive stick stuck in your mane."
There's...what?
She opened her eyes slowly, the stallion had a leafy branch in his mouth and he tossed it to the side and gave her a smirk.
"You're real pretty. You know that?"

Smooth. Real smooth, Hunter. He wanted to smack his head into one of these trees. He couldn't think of anything else to say? She probably thinks he's a huge idiot. Her gentle voice caught him off guard.
"You...t-think I'm pretty?"
He's looked back at her. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and disbelief. She was so...gorgeous.
Hunter could only nod.
The mare blushed deeply and said, "You don't think my scars are disgusting?"
Think. Think. Think.
"I think," He brushed noses with her, making her blush even more. "That they show experience. Wanna walk with me for a bit? I'm Hunter."
She nodded. This stallion actually liked her? He even thought she was pretty! She followed him as he walked.
"I'm Ruine."
"Like, bad ruin?" He asked.
Her ears lay flat against her head as she admitted this, ashamed.
"...Yes…"
"Hey."
She looked up at him.
He smiled sweetly at her.
"You don't need to feel bad about your name. I like it, personally."
She wanted to hug him. He was so charming and sweet.
"Thank you."

You wake up to slight splashing, jerking your head up. There is a mare who looks particularly parched. Slurping up water as if she hasn't had any in days, she looks a little beat up, there's no stallion or other horses anywhere near her.
