"Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I don't want to chase you down
I know you see it
You run with me
And I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical for something colorful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see"

Loki had been wandering for some time now. He’d been kicked out of yet another bachelor herd and was on his own again. He grunted to himself. Who needed anyone anyway? He was fine by himself. The sound of a babbling stream caught his attention and he became aware of how dry his mouth felt. Veering off course, he headed toward the sound. A tiny stream ran through a small copse of trees. He thirstily bent his neck and drank deeply.

Someone cleared their throat.

Loki sprang back from the stream with a snarl on his lips. There, standing on the opposite bank, was a very large stallion. Loki eyed him warily. He wasn’t in the mood for a fight, especially with someone so much larger, and probably stronger than himself.

”Can I help you?” he sneered.

The other stallion smiled and said, ”My name is Faramir and this is my territory currently.”

Loki glared and turned to go. ”Then I guess I’ll be leaving, sir.”

”No need, you can stay.” Faramir said.

Loki paused and turned back to face the pale stallion.

”Why? I’m a bachelor in your territory.” he asked, suspicious.

”I know. I’ve scented you around here a few times now.” Faramir replied. ”I have an offer for you.”

Loki’s ears pricked forward at this, his interest piqued.

”What kind of offer…?” he asked slowly.

”I’m in need of a Lieutenant, you see.” Faramir continued. ”You’ve evaded mine and my herd’s efforts at sniffing you out, until now at least. I’d like that kind of cunning by my side.”

Loki let him finish before laughing loudly. ”You want me to be your Lieutenant? In a herd? Please. Why on earth would I give up what I have for that?”

”And what, exactly, do you have now…?” Faramir asked with a tilt of his head.

Loki opened his mouth to respond before realizing...he had nothing to say.

Faramir smiled knowingly and said, ”I can offer you a new life.”

Loki snorted. Who did this guy think he was? But then again...a herd meant mares. Maybe he could play along for a while and sneak off with a few one night. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all.

”Look, I’m not going to chase you down, but I know you see that this is an opportunity.” Faramir continued, tail swishing behind him. ”But the choice is yours.”

”I’ll...think on it.” Loki replied after a moment. He took a step into the stream and crossed to the other side. ”Introduce me to this herd of yours.”

Faramir smiled and nodded, leading Loki out of the copse of trees. The two didn’t speak as they walked and Loki actually felt awkward. What on earth was he doing? Thankfully, it didn’t take long for them to reach the mares. They were scattered throughout a field, lazing around and chewing on the yellowing grass. They looked up as Faramir nickered to them, some responding in welcome. When they noticed Loki, a whisper went throughout the herd and more heads looked up to see this newcomer. The two stallions descended into the valley and were met by multiple mares.

”Who’ve you got there, Faramir?” asked a pretty red dun. ”The name’s Sif.” she said with a nod at Loki.

”This is Loki. He’s, uh, auditioning to be my Lieutenant.”

The mares became even more interested and weren’t shy about crowding around, sniffing at him. Loki tried to act nonchalant while internally screaming for his personal space.

”Well, he’s quite handsome.” said Pogoda, winking at Loki who offered a winning smile in return.

”He’s a little small, isn’t he…” asked Sabriel as she blinked slowly at them. Loki’s ears pinned back at this and he glared openly.

”Be polite, Sabriel.” said Windfola. ”He’ll gain some muscles quickly here.”

”Alright, lets not crowd him too much.”. Faramir said, pushing the mares back. ”Give him some space.”

Loki huffed in relief as the mares backed away. He scanned the crowd, rating them as he went, until his eyes landed on her.

A beautiful perlino mare stayed toward the back of the group, looking on with interest. Her eyes were like chips of the sky in his beautiful face. Loki had to stop himself was staring before she noticed. Without meaning to, he walked closer to her and said, ”My name is Loki. What may I call you?”

The perlino mare smiled kindly and replied, ”My name is Winona. But most call me Winnie.”

”Winona. A lovely name for a lovely mare.” Loki said with a low bow.

The other mares all “ooed” and giggled around them. Winona blushed prettily and lowered her head in a short bow. ”The pleasure is all mine.”

”Loki, come along. I’ll introduce you to the rest of her herd and then we can go on patrol.” Faramir interrupted.

Loki grumbled inwardly but followed Faramir, glancing over his shoulder at Winona. The mare was watching him with a small smile and he felt a thrill at her attention.

Maybe the other side wouldn’t be so bad afterall.
