His cousin and himself may not have a lot in common, but they did have one major ideal that brought Cullen here today. Mares should not be leaders. Hell, even having a lead mare was a stretch, but then again Cullen was not one to own a herd of females. He would go crazy trying. The golden stallion was perfectly content with his band of bachelors, never needing to feel that soft touch of a female's skin. All he needed around him was a sense of authority and the bond that his band of brothers gave him in the Lagoon. He would leave the multiplying to them.

Cullen listens when Warsaw begins to speak. He makes a joke, typical, but Cullen's serious features never falter. He did not feel this was the time for jokes, but he knew his cousin was always this way. Warsaw goes on to announce that he has declared war on the Forest and why. Cullen nods his head in agreement, fully agreeing with his cousin's actions. He knew of Warsaw's attacks of the Forest since he has helped partake in them before, but he never dreamed this would be his cousin's answer. This would be delightful. Warsaw warns not to bring anyone they would miss. The war would claim lives, but that was the cost of their cause.

The silver bay stallion speaks up, saying other mares were stepping up to lead their herds. There was no doubt the Forest Queen's inspiration has sparked these events. Rougaru claims his alliance to the cause, to Warsaw's side, and looks at every one of them. He gives a nod of his skull, but he does not speak just yet. The smaller of the three starts to say something so Cullen turns his attention towards him. Bjorn speaks of the mare leaders becoming pregnant and that one now carries his seed. It was interesting and Cullen wonders if this was a plot Bjorn had thought up or just luck. He did not know the stallion well enough to tell.

"My brothers and I are with you Warsaw." He says, eyeing each of them. "They should have no problem following me into battle and aiding your cause." He stomps a hoof with a sudden spark of energy. He was excited about this great battle. All of a sudden a mare rushes past and plants herself protectively in front of Bjorn. She yells, even spits, at Warsaw which causes Cullen's ears to pin and his voice to ring towards her. Such a stupid mare! He assumes this was a mare of Bjorn's and Cullen was disappointed in the stallion's skills at keeping his mares at bay. This was an important conversation after all.

As quickly as the outburst had come, she was gone. She said some more things and shouted, but the mare soon fled. Cullen was confused but equally glad that mare was not under his list of problems.
