OOC: Okay, sorry. I'm bad about losing timelines in threads xD

The black and white paint could definitely feel the growing tension in the herds around him, but thankfully the Desert seemed to be calm for the most part. Besides his seasonal fights with Bhaskara, things seemed to be on the more peaceful side with his herd, for the most part, anyway. There was that snag wth Leonid trying to escape but she was more trouble than she was worth so he cut her loose. At least he had three relatively happy mares in his herd, and Vihaan would learn to be happy too when she came back from her venture with Everglow. He saw such strength in her when she stood between him and Everglow. He was sure she would thrive in the Desert. Harlequin already glowed in the humid air and Geneva was all grace and fire even though she wasn't as adapted to the heat as he was.

Cain kept hearing rumors of war coming to the islands and while a part of him was eager for some bloodshed, the other part of him that his mares were starting to bring out, cared about their wellbeing and was worried that someone would get hurt. He had incoming foals to think about, his own sons and daughters. He didn't want any harm to come to them or their mothers. He must have given something away about knowing Shamwari's name cause he noted an instant flicker in the stallion's face and he seemed to study Cain's own features more intently. But finally he smirked and agreed that the climate was more temperate in the Prairie. There was nothing more to be said on that subject so Cain just nodded in acknowledgement.

He had no reason to like or dislike Shamwari yet but so far the red stallion was polite and respectful, even though they knew next to nothing about each other so that was a good start. Some stallions might look down on Cain cause he was an outsider who came in and claimed a land or tell him he didn't belong, which was already the majority, but none of it got under Cain's skin. He'd taken much worse, after all. At least Shamwari seemed open to the possibility that he could be good for the land he was in. When he asked about the older families of the Desert, Shamwari told him that some were still around but others come and go. He even pointed out that they usually strike for home. That made Cain chuckle as he shook out his mane. "I'm starting to get the gist of that. I've come across a stallion that wouldn't bow or leave and a mare who likes to challenge me every season. Pretty sure they fall under that category." He said it with a smirk, laughing it off like he always did.

He looked forward to the battles with Bhaskara and he'd heard that Bahadir actually claimed a neighboring territory, though apparently he had to fight a pregnant mare to take it. Maybe it was a good thing the stallion didn't take him up on staying as his second. He could see Shamwari was trying to give him a fair warning though and he appreciated it. When Shamwari asked if he'd met others from the territories, the paint shook his head with a thoughtful scowl. "Unfortunately no. Besides a short visit from my neighbor at the time, Shaydowfax, and then a more pleasant meeting with Persephone from the Forest, I haven't really come across others, at least not on a friendly basis." He chuckled a little. "There was an attempted raid from a mare claims she had regards from Warsaw and had to step between a mare I claimed and an arrogant stallion called Rougaru. Slowly but surely, I guess I'm getting to know the others." He snorted softly before tilting his head. "You must be referring to the war I keep hearing about." Curiosity glimmered in his eyes.
