Enya remained silent as the stallion spoke, aiming to let him clear his chest and mind. "I believe you mistake me Temblor. I said I have no children to bind us, I didn't say I desired to do so any time soon. Surely you understand. Stallions are of course privileged to many children, I am not. Still, I can respect that. Ask your questions, test me with teeth, I delight in both." Perhaps in some way, she was twisted in her language of affection and friendship. While her teeth and hooves were often used to cause harm it was also a keen way she built bonds. She doubted her relationships with Bardoul and Annubis would have grown the way they had if they weren't willing to match her teeth and energy for the most part. Even so, they, or rather Annubis seemed more akin to testing boundaries.

His questions, though reasonable, caused her eyes to narrow slightly an ear drawing back briefly. "What does any other herd leader desire? A safe place for their family, an accumulation of trinkets, or power...maybe all of the above? Allies don't lay everything out for one another however power is a delightful thing to hold all of the above appeals to me. As for if the alliance will be honored, if they value their flesh and status they will not challenge my laws. If they do, then you would come to me and we would work out a deal. I don't tolerate betrayal or insubordination Temblor, I would sooner crush them between my teeth. The kings of the shore are wise enough to see the bigger picture, they delight in my teeth, but they are mine and I trust them with my herd and with myself." The woman kept her crown high but covered her throat on the off-chance he took her words as a challenge but her words at least seemed reasonable in her opinion.

Shifting her posture so her weight was better distributed she studied the stallion before speaking again. "So tell me, what do you desire, while I can make assumptions I would like to hear it from your own lips. The shore has no second as of this moment however, I will inform them should we be allied. While they are entitled to their own herd should they go after your herd, send them back bloodied and I will intervene where I am able. Should I be forced to dispel them I will, but I am not opposed to a more diplomatic means...I don't feel as though I am unreasonable in that regard. People are entitled to a mistake or two but as I said, I don't take kindly to betrayal especially those I trust with power." She rolled her shoulder as if shrugging. While she could control a great deal of going on she couldn't promise nothing would go wrong or that mistakes wouldn't happen, but if there was a chance to negotiate then Enya wasn't opposed to it.
