Aranel paced in her stall. Her flicka, Alqua, whickered nearby, although was contently nipping at her food. Her owners had told Aranel that she was to be bred today, although she wasn't sure which stag or anything. A heavy sigh escaped her, as she stood at her stall door, head poking out over the edge in a friendly manner.

A groom led Talisman Tactics to the barn she was in. Talisman caught a whiff of the mare. He whinnied. He thought, That is the mare I'll breed with. He shook his chestnut mane and stepped into the dark barn, ready for breeding.

Another groom went into Aranel's barn, placing a rather vivid pink halter around her head. He lead her out and lead her to the breeding area. She had her auds pinned, not wanting to breed with any stallion at the moment. She supposed that the fact that she was in season was why she was so moody, but it still wasn't pleasant. The groom moved her tail to the side, although she fully intended on moving it back just before the grooms could do anything about it.

He stopped by the stall and quietly whickered deeply, Hello.

Aranel pinned her ears. Stag. She spoke in a short greeting. She just wanted to get it over with. Is there any way that you'll make this easier? Since she didn't really want to, she might as well ask.

"Don't worry. I'll be gentle." The grooms brought the teaser in.
OOc: I'll play the teaser.

OOC: Okay
Aranel sighed, ears moving to the side lazily. She swished her tail, ridding herself of the fly that pestered her. She awaited the teaser.

"Don't worry dear, there's a sheild between us." With that he mounted the mare.

The mare pinned her ears, although backed into him on instinct. She slowly began to relax, no longer feeling as tense as before.

They pulled off the teaser and backed him off. They then led Talisman in, sweating and breathing hard. "Don't be scared. Breeding is no problem. In eleven months you'll have a beautiful foal."

But then Talisman got a little crazy and reared up. They settled him down.

She was reminded of her flicka, who was out of sight by now. She spread her legs slightly and lifted her tail, mostly because the grooms were placing her that way. She looked back at him briefly, nodding her head then turning forward once more.

They led him up and screamed and mounted the mare. He swayed in and out, doing his job correctly. He hoped that the foal would be strong and fast. He loved foals. He pumped back and forth. Minutes passed, then the grooms pulled him back down.

The mare simply stood there the entire time, in a bit of a bored manner. She didn't ask to breed today, so why were they forcing her? She whickered and half-reared after he dismounted, prancing about. She wasn't sure if she was in foal, but she was glad that was over. Now all she could do his hope she was so this would be over for eleven months.

He nuzzled her shoulder. "You'll be fine. We'll have a beautiful foal."
