Listening to the surprised squeal of his daughter Lyden smiles while flicking his ears backwards to listen to Gandy comment about how she thought the same thing but it was just a red mark. ”I’ve never seen anything like it” reaching to nuzzle his queen Lyden breathes out calmly listening to his children’s soft breaths of slumber and the content ones from his favorite mare.
”gandy I have been meaning to tell you something, i believe I’ve started to fall for you, and not just a puppy dog love sort of thing but in a true you consume my thoughts kind of way” he pauses thinking back to when Azazel admitted that she loved him when he first met their daughter together. He hadn’t said anything in return because he wasn’t sure himself – although now with all the stupid drama that whisked around in the forest Lyden really wasn’t sure of most things.
He sighs heavily glancing at her bright sapphire spheres ”you mean the world to me and I’m so thankful I convinced you to follow a shmuck like me home” he smiles now playfully nodding to his own words ”the gods definteily knew what they were doing when I came across you, I’m truly the luckiest guy on these islands to have someone so faithful and true as you, and someone who leads this forest as a family instead of a prophecy. Other lead mares could learn from you, they really could” watching to gadge her reaction Lyden shifts on his feet briefly<
He wonders if she knew everything that had been going on with Caesisus and if so what her thoughts were. Gandy had never understood why Lyden traded so many for a single mare and now – with everything that had gone on between them and the other males… Lyden is starting to doubt his judgment. ”so I need your advice since you are my equal and my love, Caesisus awhile back admitted she ran into Kasibian before he came here with his challenge, she told him she didn’t know what she wanted” pursing his lips Lyden could feel his heart begin to pound with anger again ”and recently I came across her being cozy with a lagoon stallion within the borders of the lagoon. When I asked why she was there she gave me an excuse that she is allowed to have friends and I perhaps was a little harsh with her but asked her to come home so we could discuss things, that the forest needed her more then she needed to make friends” Lyden pauses again thinking of the dark stallion mouthing off to him and the paint one challenging him like he was supposed to be threatened.
”she decided to stay and continue their stroll or whatever it was before returning home, I’ve seen her around but I don’t know what to say to her. I don’t know if I should let it go because she did come back or tell her to leave because this is the second male she’s seeked attention from aside from myself.” he paused once more searching his beautiful partners bald face ”what do you think? You have a say just as much as I do”
