While he was back in the Inlet he had to visit Vita Nova before returning to the battlefield. Bringing home Shaydowfax was a spur of the moment thing, there would be plenty more to come in war. He was still deciding what to do with her remembering that he once hates her guts to the point of swimming over to her island and taking her life. Honestly, Warsaw has felt this way before about a mare. Even a mare he loved once, but he has never done the action. He has never brought himself killed anyone. He has only dominated and taken advantage of others, never seriously maim or bring even close to death. This war could bring him to do things he never thought possible, but also show how serious he was in his convictions.

He would have never left if his Queen was in the same condition she was at Brunhild's birth. He would have never left her side in that moment, but if she would have died who knows what could have happened. The war might have started then and he might have been out to kill anyone in his path. For now, that was not his intentions. Warsaw only wishes to accomplish the bowing of the bay varnish Queen at his hooves. Persephone's resignation of control over her herd and the allowance of a male to take over. She could fall in line as the lead mare, but never the sole Queen.

It wasn't that he changed his mind about Vita Nova. This war had been planned before she got sick and if he fell through now horses like Rougaru would be dissapointed. He would hear rumors how he was a coward and how he backed down from Persephone's stubbornness. He wouldn't allow them to talk that way. He was mighty, powerful, even at the age of nineteen.

Dark eyes glance around as his walks until his gaze finally settles on Vita Nova. She is not alone as their inky black filly stays close to her side and Tavas...he was shocked to see her back in the Inlet. After allowing Bjorn to keep her, he never thought that Ridge lead would allow her back here especially with Requiem's relentless challenges. Plus, their recent fall from friendship. "It is good to see you princess." He says as he aproaches them. He does not get a whiff anything is out of ordinary from the two of them. He wants to chat with Tavas, but was in the middle of a war. He couldn't leave his comrads hanging forever. His attention turns to Vita Nova. "I am heading back to Luthien, but I wanted to check on you before I left. I'm happy to see you stronger every day."

It was true, he wants to see her better. He hopes she can recover fully from their last pregnancy because he will need his strong Queen whennhe returns. If he returns. "I will do my best to return home when things are finished." Apart of him wants her to beg him to stay, to embrace him and pray for his safety. At this point, he isn't sure he has either of their support. He looks to Tavas. "I hope you are able to stay long enough to meet your siblings." His weight shifts with a cracking of his hip. "We missed you." He did in fact miss her. Tavas was the first and only foal he was ever raised on his own that didn't share an ounce of his blood. Her mother was the reason for that. "Tell Neon and the rest of our herd I am departing again and that I will be back." He gives the pair a sad smile.

The grey stallion turns and starts towards the sea. Would he ever see them again? If he did return home he wonders if there would be anyone left to recieve him.
