Black-rimmed ears swivel, catching the sound of unfamiliar voices, and one he knows quite well. Leander was close, and though unable to make out words, the tones he can hear are cold and harsh. Troubled and intrigued, the buckskin shifts from his leisurely walk into a lope. If there was a threat to the Throat, he would do his part to protect his desert home, protect those he had led here. He was responsible for them, after all, had promised them a safe place to live, and he’d be damned if he failed them now.
Yet, as he approaches it is obvious that the herd is not being threatened by outside forces, but dissent from within. Though he does not know the white lady, nor the black general, Kri is easily recognizable. From the look of things, the way the two sides are facing each other, the Sultana and Sultan are at odds
Though Lynx doesn’t know why the leaders are fighting, he easily strides forward to stand at Leander’s side. The palomino has treated him as a brother, and the disfigured unicorn has no doubts as to where his loyalties lie. Kri, in his eyes, has been a rather distant ruler, appearing to the herd only to impose her will. He doubts that she holds her supposed family in high regard, with the way she chooses to stand apart from them. How many in the Throat had even met the mare? 5? 10? A low number for such a large group.
The dark stallion beside her is unfamiliar, though he smells of the Throat. Another mostly absent creature, appearing only to throw temper tantrums when things didn’t go his way? Lynx feels nothing but disdain for the duo. Temperamental foals, playing at being important to bolster their egos. Pathetic creatures, hiding behind their positions in order to manipulate those they claimed to care for.
Eyes survey those before him with scorn, silently daring them to make a wrong move. For too long he had remained complacent, lulled by the calm and acceptance he had found waiting here. Now, with the threat of battle hovering in the air around him, his warrior spirit began to awaken. If necessary, he would teach the winged idiots why he had once been regarded as a monster.
