This stallion was playing a dangerous game. It was true, Aten was getting a very bad vibe from the black horse in front of him, but he was beating it down in order to remain strong so that, if the need arose, he could help protect Jinju or assist her in chasing the stallion out of her sire's territory. Either way, it was taking a lot of Aten's internal strength too, since there were some nerves telling him he should turn tail and run.
When the black stallion urged Aten to run, or risk playing a game, the golden stallion stood tall. He stomped the ground with his front hoof again, his slightly taller frame bearing down on the black stallion as he took a threatening step closer. Aten's ears went flat against his skull as he snorted, his tail flicking back and forth to express the agitation and building anger he felt.
"I have no interest in playing any sort of game with you. And if you are wise, I suggest that you leave before you make the forest, and its residents, angry."
As soon as those words left his lips, another voice joined in the fray. A glance back and Aten spotted the slightly familiar form of Heda, another Taiga mare. He didn't know her very well, since he was still new here and had yet to get to know any of the kingdom residents well. However, with introductions that had been made by horses for themselves and others, he'd begun placing names to faces.
And Heda was easy enough to place, with her buckskin coat and blue points as opposed to the black Aten had seen on others of similar color. Her wings were folded in and she expressed a layer of calm, but the stallion could tell that she was toying with the black stallion, trying to mess with his emotions in an effort to make him leave. Aten still didn't quite know how she did it, or what sort of talent she possessed, but he knew he shouldn't mess with her.
