Laying in the water with his frame looking like a drowned rat, Lucifer glared off into the distance. His crimson eyes were hard, but the feeling of fear brightened them just a touch. It would be best for him to get up, to move away. He could feel his heart still racing in his chest, but when he went to rise he did not get to do as he needed.

Turning his eyes over to Teagan, the onyx monster held his tongue for a moment. He had to think over her words, but once a reply came free of his mind, he pulled himself up into a standing position before he shook his head ever so faintly. “Not particularly.” Lucifer was growing soft around these tender hearted horses in his home. First it was Rieva and the way the monster inside him claimed her, not allowing him to hurt her. Then it was his child with Chimney. Everything was warping to the point that the Dunes king no longer knew what to make of anything. Lately it was Mhidas, but as his eyes looked at Teagan, he knew she was just adding to the list that was starting to grow of those he couldn’t and wouldn't hurt.

Letting out a deep breath though, Lucifer gave a shrug of his large shoulders. “How are you? This place is a bit warmer than where I found you.” Genuine curiosity held the stallion's voice, showing actual care even if he didn't understand that emotion whatsoever. He was trying, even if it made his skin crawl to show even this ounce of kindness.
