The more he is able to study the girl the more he realizes how young she was. Not that Aries was very old, but it was enough that he could tell the difference between them. Of course he wasn’t about to make that the reason he says goodbye to this beauty. Especially now that he sees she seems in good health. The brightest of smiles spread across her lips which wipes all the worry from his mind. His mouth nearly drops from the comment, the shock clear on his face. ”Me?” Aries has never sought out the fairer sex before so being talked to this way was very new for him. He couldn’t say he hated it. A sly half smirk appears on his lips as he repeats her words over and over in his head. Why did he like this so much?

All he has ever wanted was to feel accomplished in his life. To feel needed, wanted, and like he was making a difference. The way this young mare speaks to him makes him feel so good. Makes him feel like he was attractive, like someone could want him. It was a big step forward to his dreams of starting a family and raising up to become someone second. Perhaps the reason Cain didn’t accept him was because he had no family he was protecting. If he showed up back to the Dunes with a mare he might have a higher chance of sliding in to the new stallion’s ranks. The mare speaks again, but this time reveals her name followed by an apology for being distracted.

Aries shakes his head because there was no need for her apology, but he does take something she says seriously. The mention of the Lagoon causes him to take a quick glance around. No one suspicious seems to be around, but he was not worried about the possibly one of their members could show up. His eyes quickly pull back to the blanketed mare as she comments on how much better he was than a Lagoon stallion. Aries chuckles again as his muzzle extends out to meet hers. His eyes close for a second as he takes her scent to memory. The sweet smell of her body brings about new excitement for him. ”I must confess I don’t know much about the Lagoon,” he begins as he pulls away. He has heard of them from living in the Desert, but he has never met someone from the Lagoon himself.

”But I can assure you I was raised to treat a lady with respect.” A charming smile extends across his lips. ”I would like to know more about you Fearne. What brings you here?” It doesn’t cross his mind that he has forgotten to give the lady his own name. He was entirely too curious as to why she seems so interested in him.
