The chestnut steed picked up on another form. It was a sixth sense that any animal had. He just had trained himself a little harder to pick it up within a ten mile radius. so, even though he had kept a look out for others, kind of as a second passing, it was really no surprise when the femme blocked his path. what was surprising was he was expecting two. and clearly he knew he was only countering one. but he did not feel threatened, so he didn't worry about the missing one.
as she spoke, her words were defensive. a protective cover coating. he wasn't dumb. she had a little one somewhere around here. he knew because that was how his beloved acted. a protective mother. he admired this mare for this and a light calm half smile creased his maw. he wondered if there were any others in the land out of his 10 mile radius. but he didn't need to focus on that. he had a lady asking him questions, and it was only fair and gentlemen to answer her.
"My calling is Kieron. and i have just recently claimed this land. i hope that is alright with you and your little one? i promise, i won't bite."
Kieron tried to be polite. as she was just doing what she thought was right. but he hoped she would allow him to take that burden off of her shoulders, so she could calmly and peaceful be comfortable to focus on raising her little one without always watching both of their backs. it had to be stressful.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are you called? and where is your little one? i don't wish for you two to be apart too long on my account. i am sorry if i have startled you."
He waited patiently for a response. he did not want to rush her or make it seem like he did not want her company. but he personally did not feel comfortable leaving a little one about unattended. especially in a deserted land where things can happen unexpectedly. he hoped she knew his intentions were good.
