It was odd to hear an argument similar to that Archibald had offered, coming from Ghost's lips. Both seemed to think that leaders could somehow distance themselves from their titles - to act as their own person as well as leads. Gaucho thought it impossible, which is why he had taken Archibald's threat not just as an offense to him, but to his herd as well. How could their thinking be so restricted?

"Midas is leader of Falls. When he respond to Basin, it not just Midas responding. He speak for all of the herd. Midas is the one who brings his hate to your herd, not the Basin. Midas is one who continues the circle." Gaucho thought of previous conversations with Ophelia as well as Hotaru, and tried to recall how they phrased it to him. "Basin ask nicely to be allies - to trade and benefit. Midas say no. So they take what they want." Gaucho shrugged his large shoulders, as if the conclusion was clear. They had tried to do things the nice way and Midas had declined. Perhaps he had not meant to offend them, and even if they were not, why shouldn't they just take from the Falls?

As Ghost redirected their conversation back to her original purpose, Gaucho nodded conclusively. "Gaucho not see either. But if they come this way, or if patrols see them, Throat will send word." As Ghost offered ... a boon of some sort of him, Gaucho regarded her curiously. What could this veiled creature have that he might want? The possibilities raced through his mind, some more primal and satisficing of baser instincts than others. Nostrils flaring, the dun shook his antlered skull. "Gaucho not need anything. Maybe there come a time .." His words trailed off as his gaze fought to hide some of the thoughts brimming in his mind.

"May drink and stay until you are ready to return." He offered, gesturing with his flaming wings towards the interior of their home. Pegasi were always welcome, even ones as dark and unassumingly dangerous as Ghost. Besides, there were more than enough of his kin around to keep an eye on her, should that become necessary.

[Agreed. Weird thread is weird.]
