What looked like a situation that was going to be a rather awkward actually turned into something much more profitable in the end. If Sacre was being totally honest, he was surprised when the dark pegasus decided to follow him back home and leave his boyfriend to his quest. It was by no means a guarantee Samael would remain in the Dragons Throat and, who knew, upon arrival the poor stallion might take one look at the arid canyons and flee for somewhere much greener. Loyal to his word, however, the colt had set off with hopes that his new companion was in tow and set a course south for the throat of the dragon. Inari approved greatly of the extra company and frequently tried to steal glances from atop his bonded's rear to see if Samael was still following along before jumping down and playing in the bushes as they walked past them.

All in all it was a rather pleasant journey back home. Tallsun was warm and what rare rain it brought was light, pleasant really and by the time they'd reached the Dragons Throat there was a breeze to cool hot bodies.

Dark hooves brushed against the hard, orange floor with a familiar clear sounding 'clop'. Claws could be heard scratching on the solid ground as Inari raced on ahead with just a retreating, bushy tail to be seen in the kicked up dust. Sacre fell to a halt just before the oasis where grass could be eaten in the shade of palm trees and bordered by much needed water. Looking out across his home the boy had grown to find it quite beautiful, though it was always interested to see how others reacted and the boy turned to try catch the dark winged figure of Samael. Inari had returned nearer to his bonded's side by now, dipping careful paws into the refreshing looking water before jumping back and bounding off in the grasses. Sacre, catching him out of the corner of his gaze, rolled his eyes in fondness for his fox before turning his full attention back to the horizon.

Dry.

Sacre smiled at his new companions first observation of the Dragons Throat. Yes, especially in the warm months of Tallsun, it was very dry. However, the sun had not yet reached damaging temperatures and the only one uncomfortable consequence was the sweat that stuck in annoying places. A process the body would eventually get used to so next Tallsun the heat would not feel so bad. It had taken Sacre a while and still he was acclimatising to the stark difference from snowy mountain to dry canyons. Often there were days when the young colt wished for the familiar cold press of snow that melted against legs and could be thrown across distance in order to try hit your unsuspecting twin brother. Those were the days when blizzards brought excitement for it further topped up their only weapon to be playfully used against one another. It reminded the stained child that he needed to seek out his brother once again and ensnare him into another snowball fight.

"We don't see much rain in Tallsun" he agreed with a crooked smile. The only plants to survive out here were usually tough things that were hard to eat. Yet, at least there was something. "Though if it gets too hot, you can continue south and find the coast quite easily" he said with a more jovial tone. The sea was Sacre's favourite place in the Throat.

For a moment after, the colt watched Inari frolic and play in the grass with a fond smile. There wasn't a moment when Sacre had seen his vulpine friend without energy, perhaps he had a secret store that never ran out. It always seemed that way anyway. Finally, the colt turned back to Samael to answer the new question put to him. "No. I haven't even lived here a year yet" he informed slowly. Had it even been half that time? Sacre nodded his head northwards with a grin full of old love "I used to live in those snowy mountains where I was born with my twin brother. Only recently have I move here."
