'lo. What bull-horned ones need in Throat? The colt feels a pang of disappointment as the first to arrive is a boy of a similar age to himself, not the mighty leader that he'd hoped. It had occurred to Arakh that somebody else must rule the Throat now that Gaucho is dead, and he's extremely excited to meet them. He assumes it will be a man almost exactly like the Wildfire, although naturally not as great - a warlord, a beast, a king. This colt is none of those things, but Arakh remembers his manners even so. "Arakh and Esinakh come to join Throat," he says simply in his gruff, accented tones. Upon the boy's arrival, Arakh automatically leans closer to Esinakh to try and protect her with his young bulk and to reassure her if she needs it.

She introduces them as the Wildfire's calves, and Arakh nods his affirmation. They aren't alone with the other boy for long, because a radiant mare appears, one who captures the calf's icy gaze with her trinkets and the little white dragon that follows her. Arakh's eyes immediately travel to the dragon, having never seen one this close before. The creatures are magnificent, and the colt makes no attempt to remove his gaze from the white-scaled being even whilst its bonded is speaking to them. Finally he tears his attention away and towards the mare, who introduces herself as Najya and her companion as A'mal. He nods, a gentlemanly gesture befitting of a far older man, because he's determined to prove that he can be the head of this little family and keep his precious sister safe. "Arakh and Esinakh come from Edge, but wish to join Throat to be with family."

He is excited when the mare confirms that many of their blood reside here, and he nods eagerly at her invitation to find them. "Yes please. Is Najya Throat leader?" He tilts his head curiously at her, wondering if she has the power to formerly accept them. At her offer to cross the bridge, Arakh knows what his answer will be - to fly, but that depends entirely on whether Esinakh is comfortable enough to join him in the air. If she isn't, then they will cross the bridge alongside the wingless woman. "Esi?" he asks gently, leaving the decision fully up to her.
