Pah'llock Hopeful
After visiting the Pah'llock mare Sahduin, you see another path winding away from Soulful Fields. You walk down it, over tree roots and under the drying leaves of trees.
Then, the thunder of hooves rolls by, and a flash of Fiery red chestnut blinks through the trees. With a flying mane and a flagging tail, Nianth'halah canters through the trees at an amazing rate. Finally, in a small glade with a stream running through it, she stops. Slowly, she touches her nose to the ground and kneels down on one knee, whispering to herself.
You hide behind the great trunk of a tree, hoping not to be seen.
Sahduin slowly appears from the bushes, her jade eyes taking in everything, the slits moving back and forth.
"Halah?" she says, and Nianth'halah nickers to her. The chestnut mare gives her companion a nuzzle, before Sahduin asks her a question in Allorian. The two converse, Sahduin seeming puzzled. You pick out 'k'zarti', 'kree'd!nis ailz', and a couple other words. Nianth swishes her tail, and gives a stamp of her hoof. Sahduin rolls her eyes.
Shaking her head, Sahduin sides up beside Nianth and whispers in her ear, and Nianth snorts, and shoots out a reply. The two argue, and Nianth shakes her mane while Sahduin flicks her deer-like tail.
Finally, Sahduin nips Nianth's rump and the two leave the glade. Nianth turns back, looking whistful. Sahduin slowly turns her around and the two mares leave.
Now what was that about? You wonder.
