He stalked the black mare for hours now, feeling consumed in just watching her and their creamy foal. Everytime he thought it best to approach and clear his throat to explain to her that he also loved her he choked. For a long time the only one he ever loved was Skylar and it took years for him to admit it. Caesisus came rather quickly but with all the drama that followed after he got her here in his home he felt himself closing up and it caused his deer Azazel to suffer.

Fleyri leaped forward with excitement as the duo slipped into the stream making him smile. Now would be as good as time as any and in mid-way in closing the gap between them he noticed Jukulros chasing after a bright butterfly that unfortunately made her run into Fleryi. He now could not hold back his laughter as he neared them all and as he went past the two fillies he nickered to them gently before striding up alongside Azazel and wrapping his neck around her shoulders.
”I love you too, I’m so sorry it took me this long to tell you, I’ve been afraid because it seems I keep getting hurt when I admit I love someone” sighing in defeat Lyden nibbles at long strands of her mane wondering idly if she’d accept his apology. He had never gotten angry with her constant departures for he understood some just needed time alone to think, lyden only prayed that she would give him the same credit.”you and gandy have been with me since day one, well after Skylar decided to leave. I cannot find the words to explain how thankful I am of this, you girls are my world, all of you here in the forest, without even just one of you I’d be incomplete” and that is the honest cold hard truth. If azazel left, it’d break him a little more like Skylar had when she went back to the peak. Lyden isn’t sure he could stay strong with someone else leaving and Gandy, she’d be heartbroken as well, his queen absolutely adored Azazel just as much as he.
