Rougaru watches the interaction between Warsaw and his lead mare and not for the first time, finds his mind once more drifting to his painted viper. Although their interacts were far from being as civil as the relationship between the gray stallion and his smokey black mare, still he could not help but to envy the two small foals nursing at her side. He could not help but to imagine that it was his pretty little dove and his own foals.

The image stills as Warsaw speaks and Rougaru lets his thick chest puff a bit. While he did not have nearly as many foals of his own running around Atlantis, he was proud of the two colts that had been born. "They are growing like weeds as foals do." he adds with a chuckle.

He watches as the blackened mare sauter's off with her sons in tow. There was an unsure gleam in her eyes, a sense of distrust and displeasure at his appearance though she does not voice it aloud. He feels fairly certain that if he were to leave and never return it would be all to soon for her taste. But he was not here to make friends with the gray stallion's chosen queen, her opinion was best kept to herself or to her stallion. He just hoped that it would not color his comrades opinion of him. After all, they were family were they not? Warsaw speaks and officially he can get down to business. A malicious grin slides across his lips as the stallion remarks about his "proactive measures" and Rougaru finds himself chuckling evenly. "Well, not all of us can sit still and nurture a herd of offspring." he teases giving his proud head a toss, a single ear lobe flickering backwards at the mention of Liland's name. "Shamwari has become a nuisance to you... Liland a festering thorn in my side." he says with a snort, his tail flicking iratably back and forth against his russet colored flanks. "The stallion has moved his herd from the desert to the ridge. He seems quite desperate to get back the queen I stole, but since the island belongs to me, he should not prove to be an issue... at least not for now." he adds with an amused chuckle. He had plans for Liland. He would pay dearly for taking his pretty bird from him.

Rougaru listens attentively to the gray stallion, nodding his head slightly as the stallion speaks of his alliance with Cullen and cannot help but to grin at the idea of Warsaw bending the forest queen to his will. Truthfully it was only Luthien that stood against them. A single foreleg is raised to let a cracked hoof rake against the rocky soil underfoot. "I have heard rumor of some new mare calling herself Queen on Salem, but the threat is small.... no doubt one that could be easily... snuffed out." he adds with a chuckle.
