VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

This mare before Snapdragon had a lot of good points that Snapdragon would need to use. The young mares ears flicked on her head for a faint moment before she gave a hint of a smile. She had a lot to learn and she did hope Roux would help her with the stuff here at home. Roux knew everything of Paradise, or at least a lot of it. Snapdragon had to learn with every step here while Roux already had it all known. It was a good thing for Snapdragon to find someone to look up to, but she did not need Roux to know that she had the knowledge that Snapdragon so wished she did.


Letting her eyes close for a moment, the mare let the wind drag through her fur and guide her mane and tail against the soft breeze. The clutching fingers of wind drug through all of her fur and hair, making her body almost shimmer with each movement of the pale strands. She did not fit in here on Atlantis really. She was built burly, like what you would find on Tinuvel. Those cold temperatures were more her speed, but she was growing to enjoy the warmth of Atlantis and she would never let this place fall from her grasp no matter what she would have to do in order to keep it.


“I keep him because he is family, but in all reality I should not.” Snapdragon knew she should let Rutger go. Siren tainted him and he was a loose screw, one that could end up in a tire or sinking a ship. She knew Rutger would hinder her home and the horses here and she was no longer going to allow it to last. Shaking her head at the mare's words, Snapdragon let her blue gaze just stay on her for a minute. “No one is worth being traded to save someone else’s life.” Snapdragon said that about her herd, not about herself. It could be her child or lover stolen in the future, but she would never barter and trade her family of choice just to save the ones from her womb and her heart. “We all deserve to be treated as a living being, not a pawn to push around a chess board.” Sighing, Snapdragon turned to look where her uncle had vanished.


“He won't shape up any time soon, Roux. He was stolen and tainted by Siren and a stallion as him will be tainted until someone stronger than I can get ahold of him.” Rutger was on a slippery slope and Snapdragon did not wish to really watch it. Turning back to Roux though, Snapdragon tilted her head. “What would you recommend around here as the best thing to eat?” It was a change of subject, but Snapdragon wanted them to have a bit more of a peaceful rest of their time together before either mare turned and vanished to do their own thing.
