A sense of dread holds the young stallion. Unaccustomed to the workings of the Aurora Basin, uncertain how or when he should stay his tongue. But a different voice breaks the threshold gathered. One that lilts out and defines itself in a steady tone.

The name Frost Fyre and Haruspex fill in the gaps for her presence. And she is much more meaningful than the multitude of faces and souls he cannot possibly distinguish in one day. She is chocolate sprinkled with sugar dust. Striking green eyes and a solid white horn that juts out from her dark forelock. His eyes dart to the creature by her side, and finds its presence both odd and bewildering. He shares this same discovery with the other companions, not yet orientated to their purpose or function. But the glance is brief, and Cassius resettles his eyes upon her instead.

A small smile lends itself to his maw, subtle, as he finds that Frost Fyre is in agreement with his suggestion. And the dread that binds his previous self, releases, giddy, in anticipation of the Lady’s decision. He nods to both mares when they make eye contact to him. Although, it is with Hotaru’s voice that his breath holds still, clinging to the idea that it would be lovely to travel the lands and embrace this new Helovia with the quest of knowledge settled before him.

With a set of attentive ears pressed forward, a grin marks his new found title and mission. “Yes, of course. Thank you m’lady.” His voice is breathless, for having held it for so long. And with a deep inhale he is released from his previous worries with a determined gaze.

I will not fail you. He promises from within, too shy to express said loyalty – for it did not stand firm just yet. Cassius’ excitement swells within, so much that he can ignore the snapping of the lady’s wolf, and the jaws that hang beside her hoof. There is too much to distract his mind with.

It is Frost Fyre’s consent that tugs his attention back to the mare. The decision to forgo an escort comes with a delayed nod from the stallion. Hesitating, wondering if he could fight for the sake of protecting them both – the thought removed the pure joy trapped within him. When he honestly couldn’t answer the thought, the Frost Fyre’s voice refocused his gaze – surprised to see her so near.

Cassius offered a friendly smile and a dip to his head. “Yes. I don’t think there will be much for me to do anyways… But you can be certain I’ll be ready in the morning.”

He watched her for a while as she turned to leave. When her form could no longer be tracked amidst the natural flora, his gaze drew back to the depths of the Basin. With a reluctant sigh, he made his own path within.
