The water was cool and soothing. It cooled the heat he felt from Novus, the summer cool and breezy and yet, Rhone almost felt suffocated. He wasn’t sure why he felt the way he did, but he couldn’t help it. Perhaps it was just the anxiety from being in a new home away from those he knew and loved. Perhaps that was what was making him so on edge. He really just needed to settle into some sort of routine and then perhaps he might feel better.
As he’s pulling himself to shore, his eyes once again scan the beach. It’s desolate, except for the two stallions that have joined him. He says nothing at first, preferring to at least get himself out of the water in case these two were not friendly. Rhone had his fair share of welcome aggression (not necessarily here, but he’d experienced it enough to be on guard) and he was not about to enter a fight in water. He would lose.
The first calls out and Rhone can feel the way his lungs heave a steady sigh of relief. It doesn’t appear that these two are here to start a fight, so Rhone offers them both a soft smile as he continues to step out of the crashing waves. "The water feels nice…cold." The cooler temperature of the water had done wonders to make him feel more alive. It had been nice while it lasted, but it was time Rhone came back to reality.
He draws himself forward, towards the two that had graced him with their presence. As he draws nearer to them, he can see that the two are identical to one another – he can only assume the two are twins. Their bond with one another is obvious, the way they stay together, touching each other as if something might tear them apart. For once, Rhone wishes he had such a bond with another.
He pauses several paces from them, wanting to give them both some space. While they did not appear aggressive, one of the twins did seem a little more standoffish than the other. He did not want to ruffle any feathers or make this encounter more stressful that it might already be. "Greetings. My name is Rhone." He offers the two of them a soft smile, his head dipping into a soft nod.
