Grave news had reached him from the Cove. Nothing seemed real as the stallion watched his herd go on as normal. Parvati with her healthy child, Devi with her sightless daughter, young Zavi with her son, and Lucine with their second heir. They were all so happy watching over their young and Nico had no intentions of ruining their happiness. Especially Parvati who always claimed to be a daddy's girl. She would be devastated. Besides, the herd was still getting over the attempted kidnapping of Lucine and Augustus. Nico's watchful eyes were always on them since the attempt.

It had made things more difficult when he needed to give attention to Pyre and Isagol. He could be using the extra time to check on Tiare or even try to find Panda. How could he continue to grow his herd when he couldn't leave without fear of his herd being attacked? He definitely wasn't leaving home any time soon. Being around his growing family was what he needed right now.

The distant gaze of his sister caused him to smile slightly just so she wouldn't grow suspicious. It worked and Parvati went back to playing with her red painted daughter. His ears then shoot up when close hoof steps catch him off guard. He turns to look upon the horse approaching with a look that says he was ready for a fight if it came to it.
