It was Vorsa, scouting ahead as she was want to do these days, who heard the disgruntled screeches of the birds. Immediately - as both Gwahir and Etoire did - Vorsa sent the information spiralling back to Gaucho who, like Meg, immediately descended from his lofty patrol.

As soon as his steely gaze fell upon the trio below, he frowned. Why Rasta here? He rumbled silently to himself, banking and allowing himself to swiftly sink lower towards the bloody sands and the assembled group.

Rasta had never been overly pleasant to Gaucho. At nearly every herd meeting she voiced her dissidence and disdain seemingly without a filter. She had openly rebuked Midas’ decision to name him lead all those long seasons ago, and her doubtfulness of Gaucho’s leadership had only grown. He hadn’t been surprised when she had abandoned her throat-family to go to the Falls, but he had been disappointed. The blind mare had never been one of his favourites, but he had sworn an oath to the Throat, and the loss of her presence within their ranks had been felt by the dun. Even so, he didn’t take abandonment lightly.

But that had just been her interactions with him. Not to mention her rudeness when Meg had visited the Falls looking for news of Sohalia, and her conflicts with other members of the herd.

So Gaucho was fully taken aback when he heard that the mare wanted to join them. Even more so to learn that Cera had played some part in it.

Keeping his thoughts veiled behind his stoic albeit exaggeratedly primitive features, Gaucho landed. He nodded his antlered skull decisively to Meg first, and then to Cera. His flaming wings tucked themselves neatly against his flanks, allowing Versa to land upon one of them, her burning orangey-red body adding to the flames which constantly burned there.

“Rasta.” His voice was polite, but distant. He hadn’t forgotten the one pleasant conversation they had had - all those long seasons ago about Sohalia - but even when Rasta was trying to appear helpful, she was still quite curt. And even so, one conversation without incident did not erase from his mind all of the other ones which had ended with trouble.

“You member of Throat once. You condemn Gaucho’s leadership then. Argue at every herd meeting, then abandon Throat. You show disrespect to Throat’s leaders - to Gaucho -“ He paused and nosed towards Meg, “to Megaera.” His voice was not necessarily judgemental or angry; he stated the facts as clearly as he saw them. Not that he thought Rasta particularly owed any of them an apology - if her station in life was to be a mocking, unhelpful voice at all times, then so be it. Gaucho didn’t care. But nor was he required to welcome her back into their family.

A family she had already abandoned once.

" Why you want to come back?"
