As Karat speaks of all her ideas, plans made without him, he is reminded of a time long ago when she had left him on the beaches of Tephra. Promised to silence of her transgressions. He had allowed her to leave and it had been a grave mistake. His twin had never been the same after she returned. Introverted to his side and his side only, he had vowed to protect her from any who would do her harm. Now with a fresh wound across her topline, he wonders just how safe she is anymore...
How quickly she forgets her past when her ambitions get the better of her emotions.
You are not welcome here
The stallions statement lingers in his frontal lobe and causes a sharp exhale to rumble through his nares. His lack of amusement for this situation is as rigid as his external form. The iron that has consumed him doesn't bend under the pressure of the piebald distasteful gaze. If anything it grows thicker -stronger- with the possessive way the kelpie speaks of this island and the mares present -his sister. He had vowed to protect the island and those who chose to live here but he could not save them from themselves or their decisions. He could only offer an alternative...
Carwyn speaks up next and asks of her duties if she accepts this offer. He doesn't wait for the kelpie to answer before he interjects.
He steps to the side of his sister, emerald eyes hardened on the scaled that has pronounced himself king. His thoughts question just what intentions have been so vaguely brought forth. Agreements and contracts, kings and consorts. It sounded more of a prison than an actual kingdom and it seems as though neither mare is listening to reason. "I don't know what bargain you are trying to make here but it doesn't sound worth the risks... I don't trust you have good intent Ivar and I'll be damned if I am leaving my sister or Carwyn in your care." There was just something that did not sit right with him about this stranger. He has yet to release his grasp on his strength below the earths crust, ready and awaiting to strike if the situation called for it.
