The fire hued steed never grew weary of patrolling the border limits of his territory. it was a routine he had made a habit of as a young king, and now it just stuck with him. plus, it allowed him time away from his mares to think things though with o interruptions. don't him wrong, he loved everyone of his mares, but as king, he needed breathing room as well. to make sure things were running smoothly and that unwanted intruders were not trespassing and causing trouble.
It was an absolutely gorgeous day. The summer sun was getting high in the sky, but there was a slight breeze. the forest trees also provided great shade to keep cool. yscha had been doing a lovely job at helping clean the forest floor, making room for the new grass to have a chance at turning the forest floor green with life.
As kieron was closing up shop for the morning, his smellers picked up on a new scent. auds stiffly forward, he stopped and waited to pinpoint the direction of this new femme who had ventured into the forests terrain. he was pretty excited. as he hadn't been expecting to head to the commons that day. he had a lot of business to take care of and things to address here.
His nose and auds pointed him to the back entrance into the forest and he frowned a little. unless this female was familiar with these lands previously, he suspected it was a scout. and he really hadn't been in the mood to deal with these issues quite yet. but you couldn't just schedule issues, they just showed up at the least convenient of times.
Sighing, kieron silently hoofed it to the back entrance, staying off the trail until he had spotted the frame of the female who had dared to enter. so far, as he was concerned, he was the only one who knew of this passageway, as it was well hidden to the naked eye.
As the aroma of the femme grew hotter, he kept a keen eye on the scenery and anything that even slightly moved. and then she came into view. a pretty silver thing. not wanting to scare her, he let out a low whicker, half snorting as he picked up the pace to meet her almost parallel to her left side.
"Good morning. have you lost your way? i am kieron, and this terrain you have ventured upon is mine. can i help you with something?"
The red soldier tried to keep his vocals from sounding too imposing. he observed her movement and her reaction critically. trying to find out anything that may give her away, should she be a scout for another stallion.
