Argetlam smiled and nodded her head in agreement. She shook her head, and smoothed her pelt with some self grooming. She then shook her body vigorously and her hairs fell into place. She snorted away. She looked to Dogstar expectantly to continue on his travel. She would follow him forever. She felt it necessary to trust him. But then again, little suspicions still hung on her mind like morning dew. It always went away, as the day progressed and got warmer. Hopefully it would be the same.

Dogstar laughed gently as the Earth told him a secret. Great sir, your mare Argetlam is getting herself pretty for this trip. Dogstar smiled as he looked to Argetlam. "Are you ready dear lady Argetlam?" He asked with a gentle smile. Then he turned a bit from her and picked his feet up into a gentle forward motion. He shot a glance back toward Argetlam with a smile. he was going to ask her something important, but he'd wait for her to catch up to his long strides.

Soon the stallion was pivoting away, and the mare followed him. She heard the earth whisper, but it was meant for him, and he alone. Soon the earth spoke to her as well: You have nothing to fear from this stallion. He is a true Earthen, and true soul. Argetlam nodded her agreement hurridely, and she stepped by his side. She thudded by his side, her body respectfully behind his head. She had been 'taught' severly not to step with the lead, her head shouldn't be even with his. Instead, by his shoulder or barrel. As she followed him quickly earth spoke to her once more: He is hiding something.
This instantly set her on alarm, but soon the plants swayed, trees rattled their branches in a soothing melody. She realized it wasn't any evil feelings he was hiding, or Earth wouldn't try so hard to soothe her tensed muscles. She relaxed, and inhaled deeply to fully calm her nerves. She quickly let her head bob near his barrel again. Her eyes determined. Hearing his words let her truly believe he wasn't going to hurt her. She bobbed her head and said, Yes. I will follow you wherever. A faint smile that was usually non existent around stallions played on her lips. She and Earth exchanged a few thoughts as usual. She liked talking to her 'friend', so to say, because they usually chatted and had a great time while travelling. Soon they quieted and waited for Dogstar to say something.

Dogstar smiled as he looked back at Argetlam. She was smart dropping back into place where second in command would stand. Perfect. She already knew her place. He smiled as he heard her words, Yes. I will follow you wherever. Dogstar gave a gentle laugh as he slowed his pace and dropped back a little as his soft eyes met Argetlam's. "Argetlam, would you do your herd the honour of being my Beta Mare?" He asked as he slowed his pace from a trot to a walk as his auds tilted the mare's direction as he waited for her answer.

As the stallion dropped back a bit, Argetlam nearly stopped. Soon the stallion did as well, and earth joked softly; Here it comes..! Confused Argetlam met Dogstar's gaze, and surprised herself by holding the gaze longer than she normally met stallions eyes. His question caught her off guard, and she let a tiny gasp escape her maw. Of all things she thought was going through his mind about her, he asked her to be second in command. Earth seemed to laugh using the grasses and Argetlam felt her ears grow hot. Never had she thought she would get the priviledge to be the beta! Her answer caught in her throat, but soon she managed to shove her anxiety down her throat and reply strongly;
I shall be honored to accept your offer, Dogstar..
Argetlam smiled and met his gaze again. She gave him a tender nudge and sighed. This was where she was ment to be. A stag she could trust, and a good position. Now she could truly relax by a stallion. Earth felt her contenment and moved the grasses in a soothing melody. You see, child, I told you that this day would come. Argetlam nodded in agreement. Earth had told her that she would find peace witha stallion who thought highly of her. She now looked expectantly at Dogstar, to continue the patrol of the territory.

I gave a short laugh as Argetlam halted off my flank. Never had a mare been so perfect for the position I had offered to Argetlam. I smiled as I looked toward her. Earth whispered to me only for my ears You've chosen well Dogstar. Argetlam is just right for your Beta. I smiled as I met her gaze with my own soft one. My herd was growing and the second ranking member in the herd was Argetlam, and she was a mare. I was doing well for myself.
I smiled as her words entered my auds. I shall be honored to accept your offer, Dogstar.. I smiled again as she gently nudged me. She was content with her rank. Earth knew she was as well and sang for us. I tossed my head and then picked up a trot as I gave Argetlam a gentle nudge of my own. "Good. When our herd needed it you came and gave us it." I told her. Sometimes even I didn't know what I meant, and I'd been the one to utter the words. Like this one, I didn't even know what that sentence meant, but I could draw conclusions from it.
When Earth needed members, she had found me. Let me become the lead. When I needed help, Earth let Argetlam find me and then take her place in my herd's ranks. True this was probably way off what it was truly meaning but who knew. "Come on Argetlam. We have more distance to cover and night draws nearer." I told her as I shifted my gait into a lope as I launched back into my patrol of Thestral.

The bay femme watched the stallion as he seemed satisfied with her answer.
