With just a short time speaking to them, Angel could see the immediate differences between the brother and sister. Where Duckie was exuberant and always willing to put herself out there, Goose was more reserved and withdrawn. They must make for a hell of a team when out in the wild together, Angel would think. He was sure if anything were to threaten Duckie's peaceful existance, Goose would make sure they knew what hell was like though. Duckie probably wouldn't turn down a fight either though. She didn't look like she really turned down anything. Her good nature made him relax more in her presence, though it was hard to fight the instinctive urges to be wary every time he glanced over at her large brother. Having him more up close, Angel could see that he was actually a little bigger than his sister and she wasn't small either. He swallowed as he glanced between the two, feeling very small boned. When he said that he didn't expect an audience, Duckie looked thoughtful before asking if they intruded and Angel quickly shook his head. "Oh no, nothing like that. The company is welcome. I'm just not so used to being, well, noticed." He ducked his head a little even as he said it. He was good at blending in mostly, being off in his own little corner of the world where others were glad to ignore him. Solaris was the first who didn't, then there was Xiomara. Not many out of the handful or so he'd met on the islands. Solaris' grandfather Warsaw saw him as an insignificant pest, something not even to care about being in his land. Solaris' dad Rougaru was quick to boot him off to another herd when Xiomara came calling but Angel wasn't even really on his radar either. Duckie repeated his words, saying there was always a chance and Angel simply offered her a smile of gratitude and nodded, not sure what else he could say on that subject. Solaris would either find her way back to him or she wouldn't. Most likely the latter. He tried not to think about it too much, until it was all he could think about. When he mentioned Xiomara going off to fight, he watched the thoughtful scowl on the draft mare's lips. She seemed surprised that a mare would go off to fight. He'd have thought it unheard of himself before meeting her but afterward, no one would dare to doubt his lead mare's mettle. Xiomara was always one to remember. When he asked if they were new, Goose surprised him by answering, the buckskin stallion's ears flicking in his direction. He asked if it was obvious and Angel smirked a little and shrugged. "Just a little. I didn't catch a herd scent on your coats is all." Sometimes the ocean water washes it away but not usually all traces of it. Angel hadn't even noticed that Duckie was steadily watching him until her brother drew attention to it by asking if she was awake. The Akhal Teke's brow lifted in question as he turned his gaze back on her though he gave a low chuckle when she retaliated by going after her brother's face. It was easy to see how close they were. Angel almost envied it. She admitted she was thinking with a grin and turned back to Angel. She admitted they had no herd at the moment before drawing attention back to Xiomara going off to fight. She asked what she was fighting for and the slender stallion gave a sigh and a little shrug of his shoulders. "I don't really understand it all but there is a big war on the islands between two groups of allies. She allied herself with one of the sides before the war so when it started, she had to go off to support them. I don't really know the reason behind the war, sorry. I try to stay out of politics." He looked sheepish when he said it. Maybe as a stallion, some would expect him to be more in the know but he was so used to being on the outskirts of any drama that he tried to steer clear as much as possible. Wars were definitely not in his wheel house. What is?
