Shifting his weight, Xanthos found himself towering above the ground on his haunches, throwing his head back and striking out at the mare. Any contact that they might have made was light and posed little threat to the other. Dropping back to the earth, the grullo evened himself back out before returning his yellow gaze to the palomino. Words could not describe the joy he felt at that moment.
But like all good things that came to the stallion, it all seemed to come crashing down in a moment's notice.
Before he could even muster a reply to Romani, the sound of a third pair of hoofbeats rang clear in his ears. Immediately Xanthos could feel his blood running cold, for these were not the hoofbeats of another eager soul ready to join them in their carefree time on the beach. No, these were heavy, purposeful strides coming towards them, and with one look towards the silver mare hurdling their way, Xanthos knew that he was in trouble.
Instinctively the stallion took a step or two closer to Romani before Elizabeth came sliding to a stop before them, placing her horn dangerously close to the newly acquainted Foothills mare. Xanthos was already well aware that the other unicorn would not hesitate to plunge that horn right through the palomino, and if it meant putting himself between the mares to stop it, then he would. "Elizabeth," he spoke after finding his words, uncertain on what he could say that wouldn't upset his fellow Plaguer further. Upon noticing that the mare was growing ever so closer to Romani, the grullo sucked in a deep breath and dared to step forward, readily putting himself in the path of danger.
"You should go back home now," he said simply, words directed to Romani, "Please." He kept from speaking her name, however, for it might serve use to Elizabeth at a later time. Keeping his yellow eyes locked upon Elizabeth, he waited for either to react, hoping, praying that Romani would listen to him and return to the Foothills without trouble.
