To say he was not enjoying her little tantrum was perhaps a bit of an understatement, this was highly amusing. Emerald green eyes glitter mischievously as she snorted when he moved to nuzzle Noctis. She may be more trouble than she was worth, but the colt was a hansom young thing and no doubt in the future would prove just as beneficial as his other offspring. Playfully he bumps the colt's rump, turning his gaze up to meet Vasilisa's own fierce gaze. Twin harks fall backwards as she berates him again and he cannot help but to tisk at her as he draws his head back to its full height, glaring down upon her. "Because I won means everything." he hisses, leaning forward until his muzzle is inches from her own, his fetid breathe hot against her skin. "I lead without a mare because so far none and proven themselves worthy of the title. You especially with your tantrums and quick temper. Do you really think I would just had over the reins to you? A mare who dares to make demands of me?" he adds laughter bubbling from his lungs as he draws back, cream and ivory tail flicking slowly.

Shoulders flex as taunt muscles ripple beneath his battle scarred skin. "If you dont like it here then you can stay your time as my captive and leave... without your foal. My son stays here on my island where I can be assured he is growing up strong and wise." he says pausing for a moment, a single audit flickering, "You provided me a foal, one that stays here... you, more trouble than your worth. You can leave when he comes of age." he adds, the veil of threat lingering in his hard gaze.

However her next words bring his ears forward, Monster? that was the name for his painted viper? And Vasilisa had just given it away as thought it meant nothing... but oh it meant everything to him. Emerald eyes gleam in the bright sunlight that dappled his coffee colored skin. Oh how he could not wait to see the painted mare now... how Vasilisa came upon it now that was curious but it did not matter. He knew it now and she could never take that back. She stomps her hoof at him daring to tell him who he should befriend. "I have my reasons mare, I will threaten who it is I wish to threaten and there is not a thing in your estrogen filled body that would give you the slightest idea why. " he adds with a disgusted snort. " Noctis will grow into the strong stallion he was bred for, he will be as Beowulf, and take their place among my ranks and when the time is right, he too will have a gathering of his own and a herd should he prove worthy. Of that only time will tell." he remarks, sliding past her, rubbing his scent against her flesh, a soft laugh in his throat. He leans in to her now, his words whispered against her ear, beyond the earshot of the dark foal that nursed at her side. "You might discover it difficult to find another to want you... one willing to go against me. It was quite enjoyable but rest assured not unforgettable. You may find it hard to settle for second best but if you want to then by all means go ahead. I'll even sign your man card for you." he murmurs chuckling coldly before turning back to Noctis, his green eyes bright as he nudges the colt's rump. "Come and join me later Noctis. There are some games you might enjoy." he finishes flicking his tail against Vasilisa's flank.
