Erebor // Any

[Texas]

He's spent most of his time lazing about the Falls, though now and again he does train so that his battle skills don't grow too rusty. Today he's dozing knee-deep in the water when nearby voice rouse him from his sleep. He looks over to find Shatter Me engaged in conversation with two strangers, and the smell of the Chamber on the wind.

With a shake of his greying mane, the stallion emerges from the water and makes his way toward the gathering. Closer now, he recognizes young Erebor, but the smile he offers is only for his Queen. He touches his dark muzzle to her silver side for but a moment, and then turns his brown gaze to the smooth talking buckskin stallion. Texas tilts his head curiously as the other male talks, and when he is finished asks Kavi specifically: "What does the Chamber have to offer in an alliance with our 'potent' kingdom? Something of equal worth to our 'game-changing role', I'd assume?"

Despite his charming drawl, Texas' dark eyes are humorless, and there is emotion on his face only when he looks at his monarch. He knows that she is a skilled diplomat in her own right, but he is also innately distrustful of such a smooth talking, handsome stallion around Shatter Me.
