Silence gripped the stale Dunes air, almost choking Nahawi once he had finished speaking. Both stallions stood in silence, but it could easily turn into two band leaders going at each other's throats if they were not careful. Nahawi had no ill intent in coming here, but he knew that Helios was leaning on the right food with the hesitance that came so easily from him. The red dun could learn a few things, but he already had his own issues to handle and right now the least of his worries was taking anything from anyone or adding more danger to their shores.

“I do not expect trouble in the common sense.” Nahawi finally spoke, his tone level and his ears flicking forward for a faint moment. “There are many different kinds of dangers and honestly I wish to extend the branch in case you need any assistance with other dangers that could come your way.” Nahawi did not know of what Helios had been through, but that last bit spoken from the flaxen chestnut gave Nahawi just enough intel to know it had been far from easy here on Helios and if this Dunes stallion took aid from him, Nahawi could back up a lot of things given the chance.

Shaking his head for a moment, the red dun then gave a sigh. “If danger follows me, I have no idea of it other than the ones I have brought upon myself. No one would have to know of our alliance.” That was a simple fact right there and his head tilted. “Just know that I tend to hold grudges if this alliance goes through and I would rather not grow to hate someone I wish to make a friend.” Nahawi does not hate much of anything, but there was a list that was slowly growing with the Lagoon at the top and others under it.
