The horse rocked him gently side to side as they rode, but the motion affected Dohi as much as it would a sailor on a ship tossed in a storm. Adonvdo — that was the varnish roan Appaloosa's name — had a peculiar kind of coat, one that was easily recognisable, as many Appaloosa pelts were. Like any of the horse breed, the legs were swamped in a dark colour, in this case a near-black chocolate brown, and he had off white hooves with a multitude of dark vertical stripes. As the brown progressed up the leg, it mottled and stippled away into white, which combined with the brown base colour to produce a dusty mocha colour. White gave way to lightened browns throughout the coat covering his flanks and his back in characteristic mottling, darkening solidly again only at his forelegs and cheekbones. Darker lines of brown also progressing down from wild chestnut mane to above the eyes and fading out along the forehead and down the bridge of his nose.
Like Nvwadohiyadv, Adonvdo was a sort of companion that Dohi never wanted to truly give up. The wolf's capacity for peace and his extreme amount of tolerance and patience were reflected in the dark, wise hazel eyes of the horse so well that they should have been born brothers. Like Dohi, Adonvdo was very rarely ever upset by anything and was usually able to take a lot of error before he would ever show any signs of anger. Nvwadohiyadv, like Dohi, was very tolerant and wise of things, but she had a temper and often came off as unnecessarily angry. The Spirit was wise, and often urged Dohi to do what was most appropriate as opposed to following the laws of peace his own mind believed to be of utmost important at all times, but even Nvwadohiyadv couldn't deter him from doing what he could to make things as acceptable and right as possible. Tranquility was key; letting others get worked up never got results, and the spirit, though smart in her claims, could not understand that fully.
This was the "new land" that Ayegali had come to find, and that Itsihnalv had followed ahead of the group to. Now, the older of the two brothers came, the with the osprey perched on the back of one of the thin, lightweight saddle bags slung across the horse's back. Dohi sat bareback, as he had always, controlling Adonvdo with gentle taps of his skin-booted heels. His own most notable accessories, other than the thin wapiti skin tunic and pants that he wore (and the thicker bear pelt clothing for winter in the saddlebag opposite where Nvwadohiyadv sat), were twin bracelets, one per wrist. They were made of thick strips of wapiti hide, likely from the very same animal he had fashioned his clothes from, with gyrfalcon feathers — the light variety with the black barring — adorning them all the way around. Ethereal Eclipse seemed a little bit... Solid, for them, but this was where her trail led. He had lost it in the trees; for now, he assumed this was the place.
Now that he was here, he didn't exactly know where to look for Ayegali. He dismounted, earning a quizzical expression from Nvwadohiyadv, and began to scout the area around Adonvdo for tracks he could follow.
