Mare: Grey on liver chestnut splash (ee/Aa/Gg/nSpl)

SIDE QUEST: The herbs you have found ease her pain, but she is still unable to stand for very long. The sun is setting, and the night is quickly drawing near. You:

A] Leave her. An injured mare will slow you down.
B] Stand guard over her all night by the tree.
C] Convince her to stand and get to a safer place

For the most part, Bullion lay opposite the mare as the day drew onward. They spoke to each other as if they had known each other for years; it was a strange familiarity. Maybe it was something that Bullion needed, a horse of her type and calibre to get along with better than anyone, and maybe it was the same for Clover. Either way, they got along incredibly well, so well that they had completely lost track of time. Within the midst of a giggle, Clover noticed the colour of the sky. The sun was setting and it left a beautiful golden glow across everything within its wake, much like a tidal wave spreading completely over once dry now wet sand. "Would you look at that sky," nickered Clover as the glow slowly lurched through the ochre grasses towards them. Bullion peered up to the sky and then over his shoulder as the sun was shrouded in graying blue clouds. His ears twitched softly, and he peered around him. The sun may have cast a warm glow over what they could see, but in fact it was bringing a dark blanket with it, especially over the darker parts of the foggy woods. The red roan heaved himself up onto his feet, allowing his body to stretch for a moment before surveying the area. Clover watched him, slightly intrigued. "What are you looking for?" she questioned curiously as he shifted around the small area in search of somewhere more closeted.

"Somewhere safer than here," Bullion nickered in response as he turned back to look at her, "do you think you can stand at all? Maybe walk some?" He watched as Clover shifted her body weight mainly onto her knees which shook and trembled. Her hind legs pushed herself upwards and she managed to stand, although with a shaky hind limb. She hobbled over to Bullion who in turn aided Clover by standing against her body, on the side of the injured leg. "It's not very far, only up that hill," Bullion gestured to a shallow hill where a couple of large trees stood. Clover nodded and grimaced with every few steps, though she did attempt to place her foot down to simply push through it. After a short while of heaving, tripping and pushing, they reached the top of the small hill. The pair started to settle as night began to fall. "You can lay down if you want, you don't have to stand up because I am," he mentioned with the slightest chuckle, however Clover resisted and stood for a short while, resting her head atop the stallion's withers. "I will shortly, I'm just watching the sky." Bullion peered back at her for a moment before he turned his head and closed his eyes. "If you see or hear anything, wake me up; you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours." He couldn't hold back an eager yawn which developed into a laugh as he felt Clover's chin and muzzle scratch underneath his auburn mane, before he in turn pivoted his body around and rested his head on Clover's withers, whilst she remained the same. He gently scratched her withers, prompting a giggle from her, and eventually, his eyes drifted again, as did hers.

Time taken: Around 8 hours over a couple of days
Programs used: GIMP | Fotor (filters)
References: None
Notes: I'm very sick so I haven't had the motivation to do a full body with a full background, so reworked a couple of headshot sketches over a few days and came up with this. Not the happiest with the way Bullion looks, and I'm quite pleased with Clover's head and face, but all in all it's an okay picture. Just been drinking litres upon litres of tea and watching everything in the HTTYD franchise but I'm going to be working on a stat training image for Bullion sometime soon. He needs to build up on his strength and endurance.
