This Herd has a Home- [Ygritte, Light, Any]

[Kreios]

kreios don't you tame your demons, but always keep them on a leash I do not lean away from Ygritte out of personal preference (I’d be pressed against her from hip to shoulder if I weren’t keeping away purposefully). I only want to make it clear that Ygritte is as much the monarch in her own right as I am. I reach out and press my muzzle against her neck warmly, and while my touch lingers longer than it might have before our starry evening, I pull back and allow her to address these newest members of our kingdom as the queen that she is. The bay roan stallion confirms that they are here to stay, and I wonder if perhaps this is the stallion that is building his herd here in the Falls. I do not object – the kingdom is large and can host a great many horses – but the rapidly expanding population means even more horses to keep an eye on. The other kingdoms, while ignoring the Falls in the past, are likely to be drawn in by our exploding numbers. I hope that Archam is as willing to protect his mares from steals and challenges as he is to bring them to the kingdom. The chestnut mare speaks up and I look down at her, a friendly expression on my face. “Thank you,” I say with a smile, “It’s certainly a beautiful place. I’m glad you’ve both chosen to join us here.” Though I know that Ygritte is responsible for recruiting them here, I’m not sure what she’s told them about the kingdom. Do they plan on joining a caste or simply living as residents? Never one for idle chatter, I glance curiously at Ygrtte, wondering if it will come up naturally in our conversation.
