A smirk touches his lips as she introduces herself as Nampeyo, lead mare of the Cove. It seems that Requiem has sent this woman to do his bidding for him. She continues. Her words fill the space between but the longer she speaks the deeper his brow furrows. He can feel the agitation building beneath his smoky hide. How dare they? His tail begins to whip across his haunches, clearly showing his annoyance with how this meeting is unfolding. His eyes narrow as she mentions Tavas' rightful home. He has had enough.

"I have no quarrel with Requiem, he has attacked me on my shore... season after season," he growls with a snap of his tail across his haunches. "Tavas was won in a battle, and this IS now her rightful home," she belongs to the Ridge as much as any of the others.

His ears waver between pinned against his skull and half interest, as he stares at the appaloosa mare. She had been sent here to do Requiem's bidding and this agitates him most of all. "Tavas likes it here, and I am not interested in a trade," so now leave the Ridge, he thinks as he jerks his head in the direction of the sea.

"By the way, I am a civil stallion... your fortunate I even heard your offer," he growls as moves to show her the way off of HIS beach.
