How he had managed to get himself into this position would be forever unknown. Actually it was kind of turning him away from the threshold for a little while while he took the time to mentally recharge from such a draining conversation. First he had been the bad guy... now he was the good guy? Somewhere things had switched and he had a feeling it was due to the other stallion making such strong advances towards the crazy mare. Guess these were the type of guys that Mama had warned him about... pigheaded, rude and predators. Ya that sounded about right for this one that was still unknown to the young hybrid. While he was young he was not oblivious to the obvious temptation that a mare presented but to be honest he was too afraid of what his mother would do to him should he ever act the way that this other brute was acting.

Words continued to be exchanged back and forth between the brute and the tangled raptor though he had no idea what half of them meant, although he could guess on a couple based on reactions. What was this language that they spoke anyway he wondered silently to himself casting glances back and forth to the pair as he continued working to tear away at the mare's restraints. As the mare started speaking again he was surprised by he sudden change in attitude towards him. No longer was he someone she wanted to tear to shreds but rather the one she wanted to go with. Shrugging his shoulders he decided that it was better to just go along with it instead of question why he was no longer on Mkali's hit list.

Listening intently as she spoke her apologies he smiled grateful to hear those words at long last. "If I had to guess it would be the gods that control the portals. They were the ones that opened them before." He mused aloud trying to be as helpful as possible. His body was acutely aware of the mare's proximity though he forced himself to remain as calm as possible despite the intoxication when Mkali nuzzled the side of his face as the restraints dropped away at last.

Fumbling for words he was thankful that the pair seemed a little too distracted in each other to notice his slight pause. "Uhh, ya sure I will be your guide." He replied happily taking a few steps down the trail eager to be going. "If you wanted you could come back home with me. You could rest and regain your strength and even call it your home if you wanted to." He threw in hoping silently that she would accept the offer. It was at least better than being alone, plus she seemed like she would make a good warrior. "It's this way out." He said sweeping his wing in the direction he was heading for her to follow. Now he could only hope that she didn't change her mind about him so he wouldn't have her attacking him from behind.
