"Everyone has a weird side to them," The mare said sagely. "Mine is this. And yours..." She hesitated. "I'd guess yours is not knowing how to see the good side to bad things." She took another pause, as if waiting for him to explode at her words, because it was what he had shown her he would do and it was what she expected from him. But she kept on after the moment's pause. "If you saw the blueness as something good rather than bad, you wouldn't care so much that others stared. Maybe it's not a bad thing, you know? After all, it does make you special."

"Oh yes, special...vary special indeed. You know nothing of what being "speical" has caused me. I was shiped from human to human, each one thinking they could make me normal...and then i was sent to a horrible place that keeps horses in small areas and then sells them to be made into dog food." he snorted. "and then i am stared at and laughed at by every horse i meet. so why should i like my "special" coat?"

"Because," The mare said softly. There was a hint of sadness in her voice for the strange stallion before her, whose misfortune had turned him into a bitter creature. Somewhere deep down, she could feel that if his life had not been ruined by humans, perhaps he could have made wonderful company. "There's nothing else you can do about it."

Tynan blinked, falling silent at the mares simple words. And...did he hear sadness in her voice? was she sorry for him? Snorting softly he turned and got another fruit from the tree. He held it out to the mare. "Here." he said simply. He wasn't used to contact with other horses, rarely leaving Lita's side even to talk with Lita's other horses. He had, since that day, been taught that humans and other horses would simply laugh at him, betray him...so why get close? Yet Lita had proven him wrong...and now this mare...this strange mare was starting to prove him wrong again.

"Thank you," Kaderac stepped forward to take the offered fruit from the stallion. If she felt surprised at the gesture, she didn't show it, and instead smiled as she downed the fruit. She wondered what he was really like, beneath all the bitter walls he had erected around himself through years of nasty words and meanness.

He shruged lightly as if he really didn't care. "Before you start thinking you got me all figured out know this, i ain't a jerk, got it?" he said, flicking his tail. "I just don't get out much." he added, turning and begining to slowly trot around the pool of water that sat in the middle of the oasis.

"If you say so," She nodded her head as if in agreement. She watched as he made his way past the water into the middle of the oasis, and suddenly realized she had yet to introduce herself. "I'm Kaderac, by the way."

Tynan paused and looked back at her. "Tynan, nice to meet you." he nodded before continueing. "how long have you been in this hell hole they call a desert?" he asked. He knew there were horses who liked the desert but if he offended them then tough.

"Pleasure's all mine," She replied politely. She thought for a moment. "Quite a long time, actually." She said after a while. "Long enough to have gotten used to the weather, anyway," She added, shrugging again. She hardly minded the sand now and barely noticed the heat, unless it was an unusually hot day. And in a desert, those came rarely.

"get used to this heat?" he snorted. "I'll never be used to this heat. never in a million years!" he added. "Its dry, its hot, the sand gets in my eyes and nose. and done even get me started on how many times i've had a bath and suddenly been covered in a layer of muddy sand!" His old, slightly stuck up nature showed its head in that little sentence. After all he was once a beautiful white stallion, admired by many.

She chuckled, shaking her head slightly. "I don't suppose baths are always a good idea here," She agreed. She had a fondness for baths, but she knew how much worse it made the sand stick, and often just found that rolling in the sand was a much better way to cool off, although it was by far the worse way to keep clean.

"Yes but do you honestly expect me to stay dirty? Even if my coat was ruined i hate the feeling of dirt and grim in my coat! its discusting! I used to be kept as a prized horse and i have been treated as such most of my live. until the insident...and yet still i mostly stay inside the yurt because of this mess." he snorted, looking out of the oasis.

She shrugged. "Eventually you'll get used to it," She said with a small smiled. Obviously, once having been white had worked him into a state of mind in which everything had to be kept clean. "The sand is more a blessing than a curse." She added, nodding her head sagely, as if nothing in the world would convince her otherwise.

Now he was confused. "a blessing? sand? how, pray tell, is it a blessing? do explain." he asked in a disbeliving tone. He rather thought the heat had gone to the mare's head.

"Why isn't it a blessing?" She answered with an amused smile. "It keeps the bugs away, for one. And sometimes, if it's really hot, it chases the heat away for you." She nodded. "So it does make your coat dirty, but well, for me, you can hardly see it anyway."
