It was dark by the time he truly looks at her. Dark faced, dark hair, and painted white marks on her body. He couldn't see every detail clearly through his enraged eyes (plus being dark), but it was her scent was stirs a familiarness. He couldn't place it and it truly didn't matter. She was here for one purpose. Her voice snaps a response to his words. It was clear she was just as displeased as he was about this. Though he doubted she held the same rage that blurred his vision. A fact that began to subside as she mentions a child.

His mind quickly shifts to Tino. Annubis had done the same thing to him. It was hard not to blame Annubis for all of this. Blame him for the rising guilt in his belly that made him want to throw up. His mouth opens in shock, but words do not come. She questions him again asking what his plan was. His head shakes, but honestly he was only now thinking things all the way through. It was just take her and Annubis wouldn't be able to stand her being taken. He would beg for her return in exchange for Raini. In reality it might not happen like that.

"I..." He begins, but his words fall silent. Her voice only rises again to squash what little hope he had. If he wouldn't come for her than he must be the one to go. He would do it for Raini, but first he had to make sure he wasn't about to put this mare back into the clutches of a monster. It has hard to think of Annubis as anything but in the moment, but he had to. To save himself from even more guilt in the future. "You don't think he will come to trade for you?" He asks with mixed emotional eyes staring at her. "Then I will go to him and offer a trade." He says before ever really getting a clear answer from her.

He stomps one of his front hooves on the ground. Energy still flows through him that he wasn't sure what to do with. "But before I can do that I need to know something." He couldn't offer a trade if it was something that would hurt her further. "Is this stallion someone you would want to return to? Does he treat you well?" He watches her eyes for movement hoping for the truth. She may want to return for her child, but if this stallion was truly a monster then he could use his strength to help all three of them to escape him.
