He refuses to meet her gaze, but Lepis was content to rant on; she is not unaccustomed to being ignored when Mother or Uncle Castile got too tired of her tirades.
He finally snarls out an answer, and the first part tells her he's an idiot and the last part tells her the reason why. He thinks she is a child, thinks that she might - for some reason - consider him somehow equivalent to the adults that had raised her. But Lepis has never had a a father to run to for help, and her mother had never been the best at assisting her.
Lepis learned at an early age to stand up for herself, and the strange smirks and empty threats of the clown king do nothing to quell her knowledge or her spirit.
"You should care." says the perlino filly. "You've shown them your hand too early; Sylva is too weak to put up a fight." She pauses at that, wondering if he will acknowledge that as a resident here, she knows that state of the kingdom's affairs better than those Ischian outsiders.
"If Ischia decides to quell your dark kingdom to prevent it from spreading, you couldn't stop them. didn't you hear who their new king is. Brennen!" Surely Modicum Mortem knows that name, the renowned general of of the north, master of the wind and snow. Lepis has no intention of putting herself into the line of fire of a hero from her childhood stories.
Maybe she'll be back in Loess by the time Sylva receives its comeuppance. She and Arthas can watch, side by side, as the Sylvan kingdom is conquered by those who do not want "Evil" to spread. The young mare is thinking fondly of her dappled stallion when Mortem upsets her brief daydream with something unwelcome.
"Excuse me?" She says, unsure how to grapple with the information he's just given her. "Loess isn't becoming evil. And even if it were, how would that be my fault?"
ooc: haha no need to apologize! im good with wherever this thread goes
