He gives a small chuckle at Nico's reply about Augustus, but it quickly fades at his brother's next sentence. Their family has been through a lot these past couple years. Losing one of the staples to their family, watching the old grow older, and now he had to watch Nico navigate the loss of someone he loved. Let alone the loss of a child. Lorcan couldn't imagine if something like that had happened to his son's.
The pair get closer to the spot most of herd stood. Winter was fast approaching as Frost already covered the land in the early mornings. As Lorcan spots Adonia, Íñigo, and Eguzki he nickers to them to let them know of his return. "Let us know if you need anything brother. I'm sure my sons could help patrol the borders if you need a break." He smiles softly to Nico before they both give a nod of their head to one another.
Lorcan picks up a canter to catch up to his small family whole Nico stays standing on the outskirts.
