They arrived like a flock of geese following after their leader. It was quite amusing to see how so many showed up, but I quickly realized that my hostility would like endanger my life, and so I remained neutral. The tension in my body resided heavily in the burning flames of my eyes, anger still apparent even as I loosened myself as to not appear threatening. Sno, after all, was moving freely on her own. I stand still beside her, though I imagine as soon as she catches sight of her father she'll rush to her side, and I have no reason to stop her.

I had taken time out of my own day to personally escort the filly by foot to her father. Thankfully he had met me half way.

To say that the Ice King was on fire was a father astute assessment. I simply gaze at him with heated eyes, not bothering to nod to him or anything. After all, he had what looked like a rabid dog attached to a leash - were it not for the horn I would have thought that the bastard had gotten himself a pet. From the looks of it, maybe this unicorn was still his pet. The other unicorn that came with them was a mare, who remained quiet and awaited her answer. Kri let her gaze slide back to the King, my voice short and clipping as I spoke.

"I am escorting your child home personally," I say calmly, not really wanting to fight this stallion while being outnumbered, even before the rest of the jolly bunch appeared. "I wanted to assure no harm came to her." It was all going rather well, I have to say, until the idiot doctor made his entrance, fuming, almost as if he were about to spit on me.

My eyes turn icily cold even as my muscles begin to tighten underneath my skin, neck snapping toward the direction of the bay, my teeth snapping on the air even as it begins to swirl around my body once more. The feathers of my wings rested neatly on my back begin to quake and stir, and my blonde mane whips angrily on my neck. "No one was asking for your opinion, Doctor," I say harshly, my eyes glowering over at him with distaste.

Another unicorn, who had appeared sometime during my momentary bark at d'Artagnan, spoke up with cunning words that hit my ears like bullets. He was trying to assess whether or not she was alone. Quite obviously, the Leader of the Throat was standing alone in a field surrounded by unicorns. Her only lifeline was the fact that the precious daughter of the Edge had been returned without a scratch. "Yes," I say, my words strong and confident even as I give this creature a neutral gaze. "I have come alone to answer for my herdmate's foolishness."

"Mesir and those involved in the abduction acted without my consent. My ignorance alone prevented me from seeing their plans, but I will be more vigilant of the culprits in the future." I take a pause, directing my gaze back toward Mauja. "I hope you will offer your forgiveness to my herd on this occasion, Mauja. I meant what I said when we first met - I do not wish for trouble with the Edge."
