Devil's going to get you if I don't first Posted on February 24, 2020 at 02:18:30 AM by Warsaw
OOC: Ending this thread so he can rest up and get back to the war!
He listens to Shaydowfax as she defends Bjorn as if they were lovers. They did have a child together so he wonders if they were in fact feelings between them. Maybe Shaydowfax's position in the war was the reason Bjorn had revoked his aid. Either way, Bjorn was growing soft from the warrior he appeared to be at their first meeting and as they met together in discussions of the war plans. Shay then explains Bahadir and herself were equals. He couldn't hold back his laugh. "We'll see how equal you are when you return home. Do you think he will keep your spot warm for you?" He did not know the stallion, but he did know most stallions would be happy to be rid of a mare who insisted on being their equal. IT would only be natural for Bahadir to take this opportunity to his advantage.
Still, Shay believes he held no respect for the mares that birth his young. Perhaps some of them, but not all. "The mares that prove themselves in my herd are respected. You would know that if you talked to any of them. Just because I don't believe a mare should lead a herd doesn't mean I don't respect some of them. A lead mare is meant to control the mares in the herd and aid the teachings of the young, not to protect the herd. I must admit your strength would make you a grand lead mare, but unfortunately, I already had one. I have no intention of having anyone else at my side." Vita Nova was, and always will be, his one true lead mare.
Now, he pushes them towards the trees and Shay inquires about what he had planned. He would not tell her just yet. He waits until they were among the trees to begin their little chat. "I will teach your son a thing or two about being a stallion, but first I must return to battle. When I return we will discuss what to do with you and what we shall do to get back your freedom. In the meantime, stay hidden and keep yourselves warm. It may be summer, but Tinuvel does not warm up like the rest of the world." He eyes the pair. "You may converse with my herd, but do not get any special ideas." His eyes narrow on Shaydowfax. "These are a couple of my children Sauron can play with, but watch him around my daughters." He snorts.
"Stay in the Inlet and I won't harm your child." He follows his string of advice with a threat. Classic Warsaw fashion. "I will see you both when I return." He bids them farewell and moves off to find a secluded space to sleep and build up his energy for the swim back to Luthien. Replies:
