When the young stallion joins them, Hurricane turns dark eyes on him, studying him briefly as he declares his support for the would-be king. Upon the avowal, he turns his hard gaze back to the scarred stallion, watching him closely as he speaks to the youngling before responding to his questions. His lips press together as Errant makes assumptions regarding the rather broad statements he had made. He should not be surprised that, because he had played devil’s advocate to the male, he had come to the conclusion that he wished Mountain dead. But he had foolishly thought the man would respond to adversity better. But you know what they say about assuming.
Please share. I am curious to know how you plan to ensure Mountain leaves without fuss.
When the new brother arrives, Hurricane turns his pale head, studying the newcomer intently. The stallion seems familiar with Errant, and he is curious to hear what he has to say. After he finishes speaking, he gives a short nod as he absorbs what Brennen had added to the conversation. Of the stallions gathered, he had to admit that he found him to be the most sensible.
Turning a dispassionate gaze back onto the former king, he once again studies him. He could understand leaving the kingship. Being immortal himself, he knows how long life can get, especially if one is in a position of power. He too had left the Tundra for a time. That is not what he finds objectionable. No, what he cannot bring himself to accept is that this stallion is almost directly responsible for the state the Tundra is now in. Perhaps he had not sat Mountain on the throne, but his choice in successors had led directly to Mountain’s ability to take the throne from the previous king. And if there is one thing you could say about Hurricane, it is that he is brutally honest.
Very well. I can accept that. What I am having a difficult time accepting is the fact that your actions, or lack of actions, have allowed the Tundra to fall into the state in which it currently rests. How can we be sure that we will not be even worse off if you should rule, and leave, again?

There is never a day that goes by
that is a good day to die.
