The Gates stallion manages to disentangle himself from his fight with Zayn and the others, bolting towards Siberian and his charges. Siberian finds himself being kicked at by Rapscallion, distracting him long enough for the buckskin to single out the colt and drag him away. With a low growl, he swipes out with a paw, but his claws only manage to slide, briefly but hopefully still painfully, against the invader's hind leg instead of managing a firm hold upon him. Kimber and Zayn are in rapid pursuit of the foal and his kidnapper, but the Budyonny follows after a quick glance to be sure that the filly and the priestess are safe, that nothing else has come to threaten them. He sees the buckskin rearing up, sees the colt falling as if he had been given a deathblow, sees the battle resume as the small group of Chamberlings catch up to Rapscallion a short distance from where the boy lay. The bear rumbles jealously in Siberian's head as he watches the palomino sabino strike down the buckskin in turn, but its desire for joining in the carnage is held at bay by his concern for the fallen foal, even before Zayn invites Nymphetamine to strike the killing blow. He is at the colt's side now, gently nosing at him to check his condition. The little black foal is breathing, and not raggedly.
Had he simply been clever enough to literally drop out of harm's way before the worst could happen? Siberian frowns as he notes the condition of the bitten ear, but is relieved to not see any other major injuries. "Hey, it's alright. You're safe now, he's not going to hurt you anymore, not ever. " Not after the skull reconstruction handed out by his warden's hooves, that is. He extends a paw, razor claws carefully tucked down against the leathery paw pad to not risk hurting the colt any further, offering support to the boy if he needs help getting back to his feet. As he looks again at the mangled ear, Siberian slips a little further down that mental slope towards where the bear endlessly waited with its red thoughts. He may have struck down Fiasko, but she had still been an adult. This, this cruel capture and wounding of an innocent child, done by a member of a kingdom that was supposed to be "good". And they believed themselves to hold the moral high ground? They were nothing but the hypocrites he had heard them called to be. Once the boy is back up on all four hooves, the bear-shifter looks back towards Rapscallion's body with narrowed eyes, growling softly under his breath. He keeps back though, knowing that the right to claim the buckskin's life belonged to another. Zayn had said so.
