but you're a king and I'm a lionheart; EVERYONE

[Nymphetamine]

He came to the meeting, he was a good herd member like that, he wouldn't deny Magnus his audience, but he also didn't feel like saying much. He was still slightly annoyed he had put himself in this position, to have to work his way up the ranks again. If he had just stayed around from the beginning Kildare would have seen to it his position was kept, he was already proven. But that wasn't the case now.

The blood bay sat back and watched the others announcing themselves and chit chatting, Magnus would take notice of his presence, surely. And if he didn't I'm sure it would come up in their next conversation, either way, he mainly came to find Lucrezia, so that he could talk to her about what needed to be done within the alliances and the peace caste as a whole.  But what he got was something else entirely. He was not expecting the words that followed Magnus' greeting.

Lucrezia. was. taking. over. each word struck him mind like a staccato, sharp and piercing with separation between notes (or more so words). Well, that was a turn of events... and it changed how he planned to address the mare. 

He stuck around to hear her reply and listen to everyone else's words. He left when the crowd disbanded after hearing all the others out... He would find his new ruler soon, best not to ambush her directly upon appointment.
