For a moment Tarrant’s eyes widened in surprise. He had been oblivious to the fact that Ariana would be looking for where he’d gone off to but his absence of mind was quickly put aside once she told him she had something to tell him. Curiosity got the better of him and stole into his mind, hanging on every word that came from her mouth and wondering just what it could be. His ears twitched as she mentioned the inhabitance of her parents and Tarrant turned his head, green eyes searching the direction she’d been talking about. He’d been meaning to travel about to the different territories with Wonka, wanting to know exactly who their bordering neighbors were but Wonka had been so busy with his exhibitions to the Crossing and Tarrant had been relieving his foalhood spent on the island of frost. He looked back at Ariana with a grin.

“Really? That’s fantastic!”

A second later it seemed to slide into place, his memory clicked and the facts of their first conversation came swirling back into his head. Tarrant’s eyes widened and his smile grew, almost proud of himself for remembering.

“Oh! That’s right; you’d told me Spartan had become King of Tinuvel when we first met. Is he still King?”

Tarrant and Wonka hadn’t discussed what it meant to be the King of Tinuvel or if it was something his son should consider going for but he remembered the close battle between himself and Spartan. If Wonka did decide to challenge when the time came he would certainly have a run for his money. Maybe it would be best if Tarrant upped the days of the week where the pair actually practice sparred so that Wonka could be better prepared…just in case. At any rate the ideas were trivial and he wanted to focus more on Ariana, so he flicked his ears and turned his head back her way.

“I’ll have to go visit him sometime soon, I’d always been meaning to before…well, before Cimarron decided it was done being an island. Do you live there? With your father, I mean.”

His limbs shifted and he kept close to her, heart feeling light with how happy he was to be amongst such a wonderful friend.
