Lepis was taken hostage in Hyaline for far too long, he knows little of the details on her release but she was released and he has not seen her since. He hopes that she does not hold it against him, though she never was to clingy to him in that manner. 

There was much that has changed since she left, Arthas has left Loess and gone on to take rule of Sylva. The very kingdom that causes harm to Lepis, he knows that he could never force her to leave Loess, the kingdom she has called home for her whole life. That being said Arthas could not stand living a life without her, the last time they spoke it did not go as he pleased and he was here to attempt one last time to have her all for himself. (Though he already did)

He walks into Loess, the kingdom that was once his and that will always be a home to him. He allows a whinny to escape his maw, she was always good at picking out his call in Sylva and only hopes she is still able to do so now. He hopes to not cause attention to others, this conversation was not meant for the ears of others. He impatiently waits at the snow covered boarder, his mind racing with thoughts. What if she did not want to come to Sylva? Would he have to let her go for good? Would she come to Sylva and face the demons who once caused harm to her? 

It felt like an eternity waiting for her, he casually swayed waiting and hoping to see her peer out from hiding. But alas she was within sight and a small smile tugged at his lips, it was warming to see that she came back from her captive unharmed...unlike the last time. She greets him as she snuggles in, wrapping her head around him as she has before. He takes in a deep breath, her sweet aroma filling his nares, he can still smell a hint of Hyaline but the stench was almost full gone. The calm moment came to an end when she pulls away, her face was not pleased instead she looks upset with him.

Sylva?

She asked him, the word echoed through his ears....he knew that she deserved to hear it from her his on mouth but in this very moment he wishes that she would have heard it amongst others in Loess.....He takes a deep breath, he wanted Lepis to come back to Sylva...though he would not force her to....

Lepis... his tone had hints of shame in it, I am glad to see you are back safely.... he was trying his best to stall the conversation. But it was inevitable, he would need to tell her at some point, this would be the very moment that would make or break there relationship. Anyway....I have to tell you..while you were in Hyaline I, with the help of Loess, took over Sylva. His gaze looks for hers as he steps closer towards her Lepis...I am the ruler of Sylva now. Sylva and Loess are two separate kingdoms still..but we act as one force. We can intermingle between the kingdoms as we please. He pauses to gauge her reaction to the news....yet she still hasn't heard his biggest request.

And Lepis, there is one more thing. He pauses taking a large breath, an attempt to calm the anxiety flaring inside of him. I know that it is selfish of me to even ask, but I am tired of being away from you..Lepis please come to Sylva with me....be my queen. He falls silent as his heart races faster than ever before. He did not want to lose her, he could not fathom losing her! He needed her to come to Sylva with her, but he could not force her to be queen of the kingom that did its best attempt to destroy her.

As he spoke she did not seem pleased with him, was it the scent of Sylva? The memories of her torment flooding her mind? He never wanted to hurt Lepis, all he wanted was to live a perfect life together, though there relationship has been anything but perfect. His heart beat fast awaiting a response to his request, he truly did not expect her to leave her home, but at the same time he did not know if he could rule without her by his side.

He exhaled when the silence was broken I will come and be your queen she says, and though her expression remained neutral a smile tugged on his lips. He extends his neck to nuzzle her cheek Thank you he says almost whispering to her. He knew it was brave to leave her kingdom that she was born into, and even braver to be the ruler to the kingdom that mutilated her. Her bravery in this very moment confirmed the queen she will be, a strong independent queen. He does not doubt her strength, nor her will to successfully rule.

Although the joyous announcement quickly fades when she speaks again, one condition she has his full attention I have the right to banish anyone, at any time. He gazes at her for a few moments, he knew exactly why she was requesting the power. He pondered the thoughts, he did not ask for the name of her assaulter's merely because he would be forced to kill them. Though when she asks to banish others it was in return for her torment. He gives a nod to her You may, aside from Sinner, I have crowned him the champion, should you have a problem with him seek me out. he knew that Sinner was a dark equine (hound?) though he did not suspect him to be one of her attackers, and for that reason he will not allow and easy banishment of him.
