Mauja the FrostHeart
ice cold man watches earth die, eternal winter takes its reign

He cared very little for the company. Both were hornless, and one of them was barely even worth his contempt. The other - he was alright, more intelligent than his mate, and seemed decent enough to be ashamed about her rambles. So, maybe he cared a little for the company, but the presence of the white mare really brought the experience down for him. Mauja hadn't been in the best of moods to start with, and perhaps it had been stupid of him to go to the Foothills in such a frame of mind, but the damage was already done (and awkwardly repaired, by Indy). He made a mental note not to seek out other leaders when ready to chew the branches off trees, though. It wasn't every day you had Indy around, and if he hadn't been there, well, let's just say the meeting with Gossamer would've ended on a much less pleasant note - and it had hardly ended pleasantly now, either.

Somehow he'd kept himself in check, though, and now they were approaching the desert-like outskirts of the Dragon's Throat. The last time he'd been here Azzuen had greeted him, and that stallion was on the same list as Indy - hornless he could respect, tolerate, perhaps even enjoy the company of... for now. For a moment he wondered if he was a misogynist without knowing, for he liked the warrior better than the leader, Kri, but he shook it off. Some mares he found great value in - Hellena, Seiren, his lost lamb Psyche... He made a mental note to raise Snö with something more solid than clouds in his head.

The sun was slipping below the horizon, promising gently that the lands would soon cool off, but the red rocks were still hot to the touch. Mauja had no desire to go seek them out deep within their own territory, nor amble along until found like he had the last time, but he wanted this over and done with quickly - mostly, he wanted answers. But he also wanted to get rid of his current company before he melted and did something very, very stupid. Drawing to a halt, the pale steed let out a sigh before breathing in the dry, still-hot air. He let it out in a deep call, asking for Kri's presence.

( Indy & Gossamer first, then Kri please ^^ No need for long posts as I'd rather this be a fairly quick thread. :3 and I'm sorry to everyone involved that Mauja's in such a bad mood for this thread series :c )
