He allows the touch of Varanduil more than he has anyone. Even Lilithiya was sometimes met with his teeth. If she returned for some reason and tired to touch him now that bite would be turned into a kick. He had no more love for the mare that abandoned him and took his only daughter with her. Took his unborn child with her too. He should have known something was up when she barely let him touch her anymore. He should have known she was about to bolt, but I guess he deserved it. He had left her when she was pregnant with twins. Just goes to show you he was not meant for love. At least not to a mare. Varanduil’s hesitation did not stop him. Cullen did not look back because he was not afraid at what he said. He knew his younger companion had some emotional issues when it came to his confidence, but Cullen had no worries in this moment. He meant what he had said.

Glancing at his companion’s awkward reaction to Kendry was amusing. Half of lips raise in a grin as he tries to smother the chuckle bubbling up his throat. It might not help him confidence to make fun of him in front of a new stallion. Oddly, his sooty friend inches forward towards the massive white figure before them. He does not know why, but considering the look on Vara’s face he assumed it was some weird thought he had. Eyes turn back to the white ghost as he studies the pair before him. They must look odd together by the look on the pale’s face. This only brings another smirk to his lips as he doesn’t care what the world thinks anymore. Cullen was who he was.

Golden ears perk as the white stallion speaks, dubbing himself Kendry. He claims the Lagoon to be his home in yet Cullen has never seen him here before. He was curious just how old this stallion was as he did seem much older than Varanduil, but was he as old as Cullen? He quickly becomes distracted as soon Kendry mentions hearing some tales about himself. Then of course he mentions the Lagoon as a ghost territory. Cullen snorts, tired of hearing that out of everyone’s mouth. Many more has passed through in the year his brethren were taken, but not many have ended up staying. ”The Lagoon is in a rebuilding stage. There was once a handful of us, but a few lost their lives in the war and others were taken as prisoners. I am working on rebuilding the ranks to gain back the ones we lost.”

He didn’t want to give out too much information considering he did not know this stallion. ”So you say you were once a bachelor? I have been leading here for many years and I don’t recall ever hearing the name Kendry.” He watches the stallion coldly as his hooves dig into the frozen earth.
