In the shadows of two of the tallest peaks in the mountain range, rests the land known as the Forbidden Dale. The forested path that winds down out of the mountains is steep and treacherous to those who do not know it's dangers. The mountains meld into rolling foothills - filled with broad gentle slopes, long narrow ridges, and miniature valleys. Vegetation of all sorts is abundant and the runoff of all the surrounding hills funnels into a long, narrow lake in one of the largest valleys. Beyond the undulating and green foothills resides a dark and deep forest; the trees are so dense that it is dim even in the light of day.

The burly stallion studies her with eagle-eye sharpness now, considering the steps that separated them and the reasoning behind them. He supposed it had all started with the time she'd been taken hostage by that other mare, though things had seemingly been okay after he'd finally been able to locate her and return her to the Dale, that was all that could be said. But clearly - if the fall afternoon when she'd spied him with his amber champagne prize from Paraiso was anything to judge by - everything had not been okay. He'd had difficulty understanding her anger, seeing it from a female's point of view, but with time and effort he'd might could make a bit more sense of it. It seemed irrelevant to him now though and what he truly did not understand was why they'd still been stuck on that.
Russet lobes twist and then face forward as the mare inhales, preparing to speak. Despite his earlier impatience and irritation, her request and apparent civilness fueled a new curiosity and he is a rapt listener when finally she does break the heavy silence. His expression is intent and focused but his brows raise at her revelation of being jealous and possessive and he huffs in astonishment, in pleasure of this knowledge - and despite the seriousness of the subject, he could not tamp down the sly cat-that-ate-the-canary type of grin and neither did he want to. The pleased look only lasted a short time as the mare continued on, Rhaego's brows lower broodily, contemplating her next strings of words. He is silent, thoughtful, when she finishes and for a long moment afterwards.
Drawing in a deep breath and exhaling slowly, the stallion's gravelly voice soon followed the breath. "It is in the past." His tone was firm and decisive, a reflection of his view on the matter. Anger and jealously he could understand and relate to, having been under their influence before. "The past cannot be changed." Rhaego was not a stallion of many words and his first inclination was to leave it at that, but he hesitated, weighing the idea of saying more. His gaze rests upon her steadily for a brief time, intensely aware of her watching him as well... and the contrast of her mood and demeanor towards him seemed to stall his words, but with a subtle almost hesitant nod, the stallion does continue. "It would please me to move past it as well. You have been loyal before and I believe you tell the truth now." There'd been a time that he truthfully questioned her alliance during their estrangement, when not once but twice she had conceived the spawn of the ivory shadow who sought to make an enemies wherever he went. Yet her abandonment of the one surviving colt solidified in his mind that she did not side with the tramp father after all. It had ate endlessly at his conscience that such a thing had happened during that time, but it only made their amends all the more important now, for this was the break he needed to ensure he could be there to prevent it from happening again.
