Even such a small gesture as a little smile brought joy into the stallion’s body. Her little smile brought a broad grin to his face, pale yellow ears trained onto her as if she were the only thing in the world that needed attention at this time. He brushed her nose with his and his tail whisked once as his body relaxed into their interaction. Already he enjoyed this dark mare’s presence. Easy acceptance was possibly a fault that would come to kick him in the face once or twice.

He patiently listened to what the mare had to say, everything about him in tuned with attentive interest. Their relation was curious if only because he had so little knowledge about his bloodlines and where he had come from. He had met his grandsire once in the depths of the forest and then had been surprised by the bloodline that connected him to the forest ghost. Blood or no, any who stepped on these sands would be treated as family and he welcome Idelle with an open heart. The fact she was his cousin merely warmed it slightly.

Of course you and your child are welcome here! Golden flesh started to visibly quiver with excitement! It would be wonderful to have a young face in Paradise again. He missed Shararat’s laughter and their flights through the forests. There was little on the earth as precious as a young soul learning to fly. It is nothing at all to ask. I would be more than happy to give you a home here, for as long as you and your young one wish. Idelle’s pause made him hesitate, his own look of concern growing over his face. Being remote from Crossing, he had not heard the rumors or the tails of what was stirring in the bachelor herd. A soft snort came from his nose and he stepped forward to touch her again, this time more protectively and comforting. What rumors have been said about the ‘brothers’ of the Lagoon? There were enough dangers to Paradise simply from the occupant of the Ridge. It was unfortunate that Ailill had to contend with threats from off the island as well.
