Golden head drooped in silent apology. He clearly had pulled her out of something, whether it be game or memory.
My apologies, I did not mean to interrupt either. he clarified earnestly. This mare already was interesting and he could not help but grin a little at the looks she gave him. He was also very aware that he was a stallion, and presumably one from a land that was still strange to her. So he stood at ease and let her continue to study him. Knowing he had no ill intent towards her, he let her figure that out in her own time and way.
His gaze followed her’s back to the clouds as they continued to grow. He knew if they hit soon there would be heavy snow beating down on them. If it hit Atlantis as it was, the lightening and wind would be monstrous. His ears flicked about in concern as he tried to think of the best option. He was quickly coming to the conclusion he was going to be on this island for the rest of the day and night until the danger passed and the oceans calmed. Soft sounds brought his attention back to the mare. He was a little surprised to see her attention was still more focused on him and his intentions than on the intent of the weather.
His expression was skeptical as she described her lonely tree. Looking around he did not think the meadow would be their best option either. This adventure was doing everything to solidify his notion that staying on Atlantis during the winter was just the best thing to do. Normally, yes. There is a tropical island just a swim away. We can try to make it, but I would not trust the water with that brewing. He glanced back at her and then in the direction of the falls. I have heard you can get behind the falls when they are frozen and if offers some warmth and protection from wind. He glanced back at her sheepishly. If you are new to the islands, this is probably not the best way for you to be welcomed to them...
