Movement on his blind side had Nahawi feeling cornered. His red body covered in even more potent crimson liquid stiffened, but he never pulled away from the grass he grazed upon until the voice he would never forget infiltrated his senses. It caused him to stop mid chew, his head lifting slowly as his blue eye managed to take in that of his most hated rival. Nahawi would take a beating from Lucifer any day over looking and being forced to submit to the one here now.

“It is what it is.” He finally rumbled, the grass in his mouth falling back to the ground he had taken it from. His head lifted, not an ounce of fear lingering in his heart as he stared down the current lagoon boss. Two sides of one coin they were, looking at one another with Garmr holding the upper hand. Nahawi detested this feeling, but he never moved as the monster of nightmares came closer and got right in his bubble. He wanted to strike out, but right now was most certainly not the time.

At the final sentence, Nahawi knew it was too late. Jerking up, he went to miss the claiming teeth Garmr aimed at him. He could feel the blunt edges of the larger stallion bite into his shoulder like a vice. His ears pinned tight to his poll then as a grunt escaped his lips. It wasn't much to try and miss, but taking the bite fueled the raging inferno inside of the red dun. He took it like a man, but he leaned away from it as his body came back down to the ground, his shoulder nerves flinching incessantly at the pain and dribbling liquid from the punctures he took from the stallion's canine teeth.

Shaking his head with his body away, Nahawi kept Garmr in his light of sight as he snorted and pawed at the ground. “Do you think I'll go as willingly as my child? She is young and naive.” Nahawi knew he was talking down upon his daughter, but he had come to the realization that now there was no going back for his daughter. Shaking out his body with his head lowered faintly, Nahawi watched. “What do you think you'll earn claiming me Garmr? There's no blade sharp enough to inflict more damage from the likes of you.”
