Well apparently he isn’t near subtle enough. She doesn’t say anything, but he can detect the immediate suspicion emanating from her. Pity. He’ll have to work on that. But there’s no point in giving up immediately - he might as well continue to practice his charms.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you Sabine.” He nods his head, smiling slightly. He’s about to comment on the second part of her statement, when another horse slips up to join them. Damn. It’ll be more difficult with competition.
His irritation grows when he detects the scent of another kingdom - one that he knows well, though he’s never visited it himself. The Gates. An angry sneer briefly crosses his face, but he hides it just as quickly. His blasted mother’s kingdom. Perfect. It would just be his luck to come across a member of that kingdom.
He nods politely though, offering a smile to the dappled mare as well. There’s no point in starting trouble here in the field. Not yet anyway. “A pleasure to meet you as well Becca.” He will make a point of remembering that name though … just for future reference.
As Becca suggests the Gates as a place for Sabine to visit, Zayn turns to look at the bay mare once again. He’s probably already lost this battle, but he won’t give up on it entirely quite yet. “My home is another place that you might consider. I am currently trying to start up a herd in a territory called the Mourning Mountains. It’s a quiet, peaceful place. At the moment I’m trying to find mares willing to join me there. But, if herds are not your thing, the Chamber is a wonderful place as well. It’s the kingdom that I also belong to. We are a fiercely loyal group - very protective of our friends.” He briefly eyes the silver dapple. They also show no mercy when it comes to their enemies.
