Another season had come and gone without so much as a glimpse of what could be laying around the next bend. So much had happened this year from the successful invasion to the birth of his daughter, it all made him wonder where the time went. They had set out early that morning eager to start the day and make the most of the sunlight while it lasted. With the thrill of potential advancement within his rank the dappled warrior was determined to do his very best. This was all he had ever known during his lifetime so it was only natural for him to put his heart into it all. Kicking up his heels the duo set out to see what adventure would find them today. The air was crisp and the ground hardened from the first seasonal frost making it perfect for a good long gallop. Lengthening his stride with ease the grey raced forward leaving his less than amused companion just rolling her eyes at him. Kiara knew him all too well so she was in no hurry to race after him knowing damn well he would eventually circle back. There had been a time when she had raced after her bonded fearing getting left behind but as time passed along she trusted him to never leave her for too long. Sure enough after a few minutes the familiar hoofbeats returned to her side so they could figure out where they were going.

Shaking his head to clear his thick forelock from his face the stallion slowed as the trees began to thicken around them. It had been quite awhile since they had been down to the threshold but with their herd numbers low he figured it was the best way to recruit new arrivals. "If you find someone play nice and don't scare the living crap outta them." He commented silently with a playful smirk turning his head down towards Kiara. Her habit of bounding up to those they had not met before was enough to scare anyone who did not know that Kiara was not going to eat them. Hell if he was in their place and was faced with a adult white tiger bounding towards him he would likely think the same thing. Chuckling softly he lifted his head only to catch movement through the trees. Intrigued he altered his path so he could possibly greet whomever lay ahead.

Silver eyes swept over the bay briefly taking in her posture, and her general appearance so he could gauge her potential reaction. While she seemed subdued at the moment he knew better than to assume anything. Wickering softly he finally broke through the treeline with Kiara following close behind. "Hello there miss. Are you lost?" He asked calmly lowering his head slightly so not to seem so threatening.
