That last comment about Nahawi should have been kept to himself. He couldn't stop the jealousy that clung to him like a dark shadow. It was an evil feeling. Maybe even more evil than he intiation want to get at Nahawi just for the fun of it. Before he had been with Garmr and Peyote all with the same goal to get at the red stallion. Since then his relationship with Garmr has grown distant. Peyote had left for some mare or something and Garmr now was closer to Khyber than him. It hurt, but it was nothing like the confusion he felt near Pandemonium.

Pan sounds just as confused as she asks why he thought Nahawi would be the reason she was here. He watches her just as she does him, but he says nothing as she continues to speak. Pan says that Nahawi wasn't the same as when he first took her into his home. It may be true considering he saw him be brutally attacked before his very eyes. He swore Nahawi had been killed when he brought the news to Garmr. He had been happy with the result at the time. Then the red stallion ends up here with Garmr in tow and Thranduil felt like a lier. Even though what he had seen was true at the time.

Her next words widen his eyes. His breath grows shallow as he feels his throat constrict. A reason for her to want to be here? Nothing to do with Nahawi...

He was stunned in place as she begins to explain to him why she was still here. Why she hasn't tried to run for a second time. Though he had thought it was from her fear of their new General it seems something else was on her mind. He watches in confusion as her eyes squeeze shut and the words stumble out of her mouth. "Me?" He snorts and lifts his chin slightly. "Of course you are here because of me. I forced you to be." He had took her from the Commons knowing she had once been a part of Nahawi's herd.

"But you tried to run away and I saw you talking with Nahawi weeks ago after Garmr brought him here." He stomps a hoof. She may have been trying to get her feelings through to him, but he did not understand what she was trying to say. "I figured you had made a deal with him to escape together. Just waiting for the right time." His eyes narrow. "You already told me you don't like it here. And I know Enigma scared you the last time." He sighs with a roll of his eyes. "I told Enigma I would watch you so I have been. I also told you I would try to satisfy our Boss's rules so I could keep you for myself. I am trying," He trails off.

He had failed to bring home a stallion so that he could have sole rights to her. "I want you to be mine and no one else's." The words escape before he could stop them. He wanted no one else to have her. Not Nahawi, not any other stallion in the Lagoon. No one.
