Carthage watched the oddly-marked stallion with calculated interest. The other stallion was right to be cautious. Any male worth his salt should be wary when being approached after a fight. This, too, was a calculation: caution meant some sense of wit. The Friesian had to be sure that this new ruler would be worth "serving" should he lash his lot with the stranger. "A friend," came the answer.
"A second, as well, if you'll have me." It was a bold presumption on the bay's part that the black-stained stallion did not have someone else in mind for the position. However, history was not shaped by the meek. If he wanted that scrap of power, Carthage would have little choice but to ask for it outright. There had no to be some kind example laid out for Praetorian after all. What better way to show his son that there was always a way to land on your feet?
