His gaze was intent on the stallion, watching his every mood to prepare himself should a fight start between them. He followed the stallion as he sized him up, Archam wished to return the challenge but remained calm hopeful he would accept the alliance. His body remained relaxed but his gaze was set on Phaedrus, waiting for a response.
After a few moments of silence the stallion spoke, he agreed to the alliance but requested more to the terms. That his daughter be apart of the Dale as well as the Golden Plains, and if she did not he would take back his own daughter and keep Sirana. At this point his gaze narrowed, and he pondered the request. It would benefit Phaedrus regardless of the outcome, but Archam could lose everything. It took him a few minutes to think but in the end he agreed to the terms, he believe his daughter would ensure the alliance would remain. I agree to the terms, I think my daughter would enjoy being apart of a kingdom as well. he spoke truthfully, his daughters mother and himself were apart of the Falls kingdom, and Sirana would most likely pick up the trait of a hard worker.
Phaedrus than went on to say he would meet them in the meadow in two years times. He gave a dip of his head See you in two years. with the comment made he flicked his tail gently and turned around, picking up a lope he bounded back towards his own herd. It was a conversation that was to the point, short and to the point. An alliance was made, they would swap daughters and both there mares would remain protected.
