Use caution when the wolf comes knocking; Posted on October 7, 2019 at 00:54:14 AM by Rougaru
Now this was the kind of cat and mouse game that he found true enjoyment from. Multifaceted eyes glitter with a moment of fiery rage as Liland remark of liking his venomous little snake. The tone of his voice, albeit mild, leaves his mind lingering upon possibilities that he would rather not dwell upon. Neither of them were in any shape to fight, at least not yet. Instead the russet stallion snorts, his ears perking forward as once more the mask of merry pleasure weaves its way across his features. "That must be convenient for you. Zjeena and those pretty little foals are settling nicely as well. I must say she does have the air of a queen. No wonder you hide her away in your desolate little desert for so long. She is very.... becoming in paradise." he breathes, fighting back an amused chuckle befor turning his gaze back towards the way he had come. The well worn path was thick with vegitation but he knew deep beyond the thick foliage, the desert queen and her foals were nestled safely beyond Liland's reach.
His interest perks however at Liland's next words. Even the wolf seemed to sit up a little straighter. He did not expect the cream stallion to plan on leaving so soon after moving his herd. Even more interesting was the fact that he did not imply on a return to the desert. There was somewhere else... on a different island.
For a moment he let his mind wander. He had been all over the island chains and knew there was only 4 smaller islands that surrounded the mainland. Atlantis was under his control, there was Salem which Liland made clear he did not intend to return to and then Luthien which he knew was controlled by Shamwari and some forest mare. From what he had gathered from Liland he and Shamwari were alliances of sorts, so he felt fairly certain that the stallion would not be challenging either of them. That left Tinuvel, controlled by Warsaw. A light of realization flickered through his eyes but he remains silent, simply nodding his head and shifting the weight from one hind to another.
As Liland continues however, twin ears fall backwards in displeasure and a harsh snort slips from his nostrils. Jaws clench as he fights the wolf's urge to tear at the stallion's throat. "You dare to make demands of me?! This is MY island by rights!" he snaps, a single forelimb stamping the green earth underfoot. Green eyes blaze as Rougaru takes another step forward. "I did not say next breeding season, I did not tell you which but I did say one of your daughters and I expect one of them at my borders within a year's cycle whether you stay or leave... consider it payment for "borrowing" my ridge." he adds, gathering his demeanor back under control.
A hearty chuckle rumbles from his lungs at the cream stallion's next words. Long cream and caramel colored tail flicks back and forth against muscular haunches as the stallion gives his skin a shake. "What would you learn at that rate? Zjeena an your foals are mine, perhaps the time with me will show her what a true stallion is like." he adds with a smirk, "I will get my pretty little viper back. For now, I will let her torment your herd. She quite enjoys that after all." Replies:
