I would honestly love you now,
But I would lovingly let you down.
The personalities among the three other stallions could not be more starkly different from than one another. Paradiso was happy to quietly observe them a few feet away from the gathering, but close enough to be in speaking distance. The young spotted stallion couldn't help but crack a smirk at how Ernesto poked fun at the slender Akhal-Teke. A short, amused snort even cackled through this nostrils at the quip. Paradiso nodded quietly to the lively Ernesto when he introduced himself. Thus far, Paradiso was most comfortable in that particular stallion's company. He seemed the most fun, the most level headed, and perhaps most importantly, the most laid back.
Karash Han, on the other hand, was intense and somewhat aggressive. Paradiso was quick to identify him as a bully. He shrunk even further into himself when he felt the stallion's hardened gaze upon him, scrutinizing him. When he speaks, Paradiso's icy blue gaze returns to his face, however. It was an interesting assessment, and one that pique's Paradiso's curiosity. During his brother's reign here, it seemed that the Lagoon wrecked havoc on the band stallions, no matter which island they lived on. Kasabian held no alliances. He and Pyschedelic were relentless, at least from what he'd heard from Gabbar, Vale and Shamwari, when he targeted one of them. Clearly he had a plan for their mother, Evaline, when they brought her back here. But maybe Karash Han and Argento were right -- the Lagoon was not in proper form anymore. Perhaps that streak of aggression died with Kasabian. Maybe Gent was being honest after all.
Paradiso flicked his tail over his hocks as he weighed this, his gaze falling onto the other, more heavier set, spotted stallion as he waited for him to address the group. He had lived here the longest, after all.
