Though she's headed in the right direction, Njenyi keeps close behind her, nudging her now and again with his muzzle or his chest, guiding her towards the Ridge. If they pass other stallions he pins his ears warning and snaps at the air, pressing closer to the pale mare with a possessive air. He'll not let her be taken away so quickly, not now that she is under his protection.
Njenyi feels that the horses of Beqanna tend to talk rather than use the language of their bodies the way he knows best, but he had heard the golden mare speaking earlier. Does she expect him to talk to her? Probably.
"What's your name?" he asks, his voice rough with lack of use and heavily accented. He knows how to speak, even if he'd rather remain silent, but his first language is not the English spoken by the Beqanna horses, but rather the language of his herd.
They move quickly, Njenyi warning off other stallions and eyeing up other mares for potential, and soon enough they have reached the edge of the land that he has claimed. It was abandoned by its old inhabitants, but not for any reason Njenyi can see. There is food and water aplenty, and the cliffs sparkle with a pretty rainbow of precious stones.
"Home," he says gruffly, and gestures toward the land, clearly wanting her to explore. She's rolled in the dirt, and he reaches out without thinking to groom her, the way he would any member of the herd.
