Disgust roils in his chest as Zaravich greets the thing with open fondness, rubbing her head against the newcomer’s shoulder. He keeps his face placid however, doing his best to hide his true feelings. Traited ones may be abominations, but they are often rather powerful abominations. Best not to anger this one - he doesn’t want to create a potentially unbeatable enemy.
Desirea greets Phaedrus politely, which frustrates him a little, but he cannot blame her. If she’s aware of how corrupt the traited can be, that she’s likely just trying to placate the fellow. And if she’s new to even the concept of traits, well, she can’t be blamed for not knowing how easily they corrupt. In fact, if she’s new to Beqanna he wouldn’t be surprised if she’s in awe of something like a pair of wings. Most horses new to Beqanna are.
He prays she never gets to know the other horrendous traits that can be out there.
He is surprised however, when the mare suddenly takes a step towards him and says that she’d like to accompany him. Oh happy day! “Of course! Follow me - the territory I’ve been eying isn’t too far away.” He pauses to let her say her goodbyes to Zaravich and … Phaedrus, then after a brief moment of consideration adds his own. “It was a pleasure to meet you Phaedrus, and to see you again Zaravich. Perhaps I will see the both of you again sometime soon.” He hopes not. He really, really hopes not. He doesn’t want to be on any traited stallion’s radar.
He turns in the direction of the Beach, pausing to look at Desirea with a smile on his face. “Shall we?” His dream is finally underway!
