He feels the warmth between their bodies and it was hard to not feel something inappropriate. Desdemona was a stranger, but like most males, he had the urges of the season knocking at his door. It was hard to resist sometimes especially with someone so beautiful, so new and exciting, but he does his best. Roheryn was determined to keep his young hormones in check and never do anything a lady didn't want him to do. He already had the satisfaction of making two foals with love in his heart so he should be content. Why do these hormones still stir? He wonders if it was the scent of the unbred mares that allure in the males from around the islands.
She says it, no home. His heart flutters wildly in his chest with hope, but he couldn't become too confident. Unless he claimed her, as a stallion could in the commons, she could still choose to go elsewhere. There were plenty of options here on the islands. "I see." He says, not wanting to stay silent. He didn't want her to think something was wrong. She presses her body into his own, shoulder to shoulder. He could feel the shutter come back, but he masks it with a kind smile. He works his best to push the dirty thoughts away. His ears perk as she asks if he was from here. His head nods briefly before answering her questions in words.
"I was born on one of these islands called Atlantis. My mother died a year after I was born so I was taken in by my aunt and her mate on Luthien. The island I now live on with my herd is called Salem." Sky blue eyes glance up at the top of the willow tree as he continues. "There is a lot to see on these islands as each one is very different, but I don't recommend traveling alone. Some herd leaders would leap at the chance to claim someone of your beauty and some are not so kind to their mares." He warns her while subtly slipping in the fact that he finds her pretty.
Maybe it was time he becomes a little bolder. His weight steps forward, away from her touch, and turns himself back around to face her. "You are sure to get lots of attention and a lot of suitors of all kinds, but I do hope you could give me a chance at providing you with everything you need in life. A home, food and water, comfort, and love." He smiles, trying to stay confident. "If that is what you seek of course, but I would gladly travel with you if exploring is what you would like to do being new to the lost islands." Feray would have been ecstatic at that offer of adventure. He was intrigued to see what kind of personality Desdemona had.
