It's fight or flight with nowhere to run

OOC shtuff here.


Sidra knew from the start that Soloman was going to be one of the biggest troubles out of all the horses. He hated being close with any of them and now they were all huddled in a confined space, pressed up against each other like a herd of cattle. So, when a stranger's voice signaled through the air, the leopard woman responded quickly. Ears pressed forward and she quickly made her way over the heard where Adelle and an unfamiliar golden man tended to the hoofed beasts. She flashed him a fake smile and then a brighter smile over to Adelle who was already working on calming her own horse down along with some other pack mates horses. Sidra wasn't familiar with most of the horses, but she knew a few just from Soloman alone. Her low speech skills would come in handy right now when she needed to calm the horses down.


The four legged beasts stomped their hooves loudly against the ground, creating an unpleasing applaud of horse hooves in her ears. She pressed them back to try and muffle the sound, but it was no use. She would just have to ignore it. Sidra made her way through the horses, placing a hand along their frames as she passed cooing soft words into their ears in low speech. Shhhh...just hold in there a bit longer. Just until the storm passes...shhhhh, it's alright. She made it over to Soloman who was whinnying loudly, shoving against other stallions and mares in his vicinity. Her eyes narrowed on him and she raised her fingers to her lips to whistle loudly, yelling over at him. Soloman! Calm yourself, you're not the only one in this unpleasant situation! He immediately looked over to her, snorting and kicking at the ground some more. Once she was at his side, he calmed a bit but was nastily nipping at the horses around him. She took his muzzle and pulled it close to her whispering into his ears softly. Shhhh Handsome. I know you're tough, you can get through this. Just keep calm. I'll be around. The storm was obviously taking a toll on all the horses.


Sidra spend a few minutes with him stroking his neck and scratching his underbelly and chin, trying to keep him calm. It was working, but there were others that needed attending too. A brawl broke out between to smaller stallions. The two were nipping and kicking at each other. Sidra rushed to their side, careful not to get kicked in the process. She spoke in low speech the whole time she was in the middle of the beasts, so they would understand her at all times. You two. Shush up, calm down. Her hands pressed against either of their sides as she continued to coo to them softly. Her hands came to their muzzles, gently making sure they focused on her until they were calm. They fought back a couple times, but with a few kind words she was able to soothe them. The leopard woman returned to Soloman who was acting up again. He was her first priority, always would be. But, when he was calm she would tend to the others horses around him. With teamwork, her, Adelle, and the stranger would be able to keep them calm throughout the storm.
