The stallion watches the larger, dark one with great interest. He seemed so calm and easy going, not at all how Letavice anticipated a bachelor stallion from the Lagoon to react. Ironclad had always talked about Warsaw's friends in the Lagoon as fierce and angry and strong. This stallion certainly looked strong, but hardly angry. But Cherokee describes the type of behavior from another of the Lagoon stallions that seems more fitting. Maybe the one who stood in front of them now was just having an off day, Letavice thought, and secretly he was relived.
But Diamant's explanation for his comrad's behavior also seemed somewhat out of character. Letavice flicked his tail over his haunches as he mulled over this, and then breathed a heavy sigh. "So why do you live in the Lagoon?" He blurted out randomly, his jaws clenching and unclenching as he chewed away childishly. But he was curious. Maybe the Lagoon could be a place for him someday, if it was suitable for this stallion, too.
"Have you been here before?" He asked next, letting his blue-eyed gaze flit around his home and the beach they stood on. "We could show you around."
