Colt
She's a runner, she's a lover, always stuck in her ways
Pull her closer, think you know her, now she's turning the page
She gave a warning if it's storming, she'll be gone with the rain
Pull her closer, think you know her, now she's turning the page
She gave a warning if it's storming, she'll be gone with the rain
Wariness can often beget wariness, until someone's brave enough to splinter the tension by offering some vulnerability, which is precisely what Zavien does. Colt might have found herself on the end of a shootout here, or would have just done her damndest to run them all away, even with her offer and no nonsense approach, she doesn't trust them enough first for them to trust her either. The offer gave them pause, but it's Zavien stepping forward that finally sighs away the last of the uncertainty.
The shift is felt as much as seen, the rigidity of bodies in distress relaxing in small ways, unnoticeable to some maybe, but Colt sees them as plain as the way a horse will drop its head with a lick and a chew. It ripples through her in turn, and her feet finally hit the sand as she steps in closer while Zavien's touch melts through the camel. It's distressed calls dim, the injured leg not fully fixed, but the pain lessened. Yes, better! Chani and the group murmur approval, a smile or two flashing. Their predicament is certainly now, but a leg injury is not quick fix without a stronger healer, they might have been out this mount for weeks if they couldn't get it to safety now.
"We want to help," Colt reassures, posture softening with a head tilt and a smile. "I want to move here. Build a city." This earns a few furtive glances and a chuckle or two, as if maybe this isn't the first time, or perhaps they just think her unserious. You need much info, Chani suggests instead, her smile the widest, amusement rampant at the idea of a city. Not impossible, Colt thinks, but certainly not easy enough that no one who lives her has already tried. "Yes," Colt sigs, agreement woven into the breath. "So, shall we talk while we travel?" She's moved in, reins draped loose in hand as she reaches to place one of the packs on the back of her horse. "I've got the time, and the horse power. Let's work together on this."

When she's in it, she's all in it, ain't no holding her back
When I'm with her, she's a river moving steady and fast
She's afraid of all the ways her heart is broke like glass
When I'm with her, she's a river moving steady and fast
She's afraid of all the ways her heart is broke like glass
Received a Gilded Market wig from Remi that resembles her usual hair and is enchanted to stay on better than most wigs | has a reverse centaur tattoo on her left hand with the legs going down her pointer and middle fingers that looks like this.
