She was glad to see him and her happiness mirrored in his expressions. He was happy to see her, too, and he thought maybe this time he could get closer to the filly. It was particularly hard to get to know one filly when there was a crowd of foals wanting to play with you. He was excited to show Tauri she had his full attention, but her smile flickers across her lips and he feels something deep in the pit of his stomach. Had something happened to his father and the Inlet herd? Did this stallion he lives with now have something to do with their Kingdom falling? Torsten was on a mission to find out. Tauri's sweet voice answers his question, but he gets little answers to what is going on next door.
Seems his champagne flower feels lonely in the Inlet and, he guesses by what she just said, the leader in the Inlet keeps changing. He snorts wondering how his father could let this happen. When Torsten first met him as a newborn he saw no one stronger than the grey beast that greeted him. As he got a little older he saw strength in his father, but he also saw age. Warsaw was much older than the rest of the herd. Still, Torsten never believed all this would be happening. He didn't believe his father could fall so easily to a bunch of mares. He would find more answers, but he could tell Tauri wasn't the proper source for them.
His sweet flower asks a couple of questions, one, in particular, catches his attention. His muzzle reaches out towards her. "Of course I miss you. You are my sweet flower in this time of uncertainty." A charming smile spreads over his red lips. "Like you have been experiencing, my life keeps changing and I don't like it." His eyes glance around the Bay. "I don't know these horses, but my mother seems to have settled in just fine. She is snuggling up to the leader here, but I don't like him. I don't like any of them." He speaks with a scowl. All he wanted was to go back to the Inlet to stay close to Tauri. Though he had spotted a Fjord filly that was awfully attractive as well. |
