[Titus]

titus

one day it's here and then it's gone,
how are you still holding on?

The first to approach them was a mare, but she could have been easily mistaken to be some sort of large rate. Titus kept that thought to himself though. Even if Nerine had been his birth home, he did not know much about those that had inhabited it. He had only been a child then, and much to that time had not been spent learning who was who within Nerine, but time had been spent playing with his twin sister and keeping close to his parents.

Except that one time, his consciousness reminds him.

He scoffs silently at himself, pushing that nasty thought away into the far corners of his mind. Instead, Titus turns to focus on the mare that first introduces herself to them. The muddy stallion’s ears flick forward, listening as she speaks to him. She is familiar with Wolfbane, which seems to be a good sign. But he does not forget that once Nerine had shared a partnership with Loess when they had been a mercenary group.

Titus allows the drake to take the lead in the conversation. Wolfbane only solidifies the relationship between him and the Nerinian mare as Wolfbane greets her with friendliness. Titus gives the mare a casual smile of warmth, but it only becomes bigger when Wolfbane introduces him attached who his newly given position. He returns a glance to Wolfbane, but his attention is quickly caught by something else.

His nutmeg eyes fall onto the foal that looks for attention from the hairless mare he has just met. It also brings a soft smile to his eyes, but it is not a fatherly one like Wolfbane’s. The young girl reminds him of his other siblings. He quickly glances to the horizon of Nerine, catching the costal land that hangs within the backyard of the kingdom. A part of him wonders if the rest of his siblings have kept living their life within Nerine while Venus and he had kept within Loess and Pampas.

Wolfbane continues the conversation, drawing his attention back to the two females in front of him. He states their intentions of visiting Nerine, opening the discussion for Titus to speak up. He opens his mouth slightly, but another one has joined them again. This time it was a winged mare that shared a spotted coat.

“Hello. I’m Titus, and this is Wolfbane,” he greets, a warm smile touching his lips slightly. “We’ve come to visit Nerine to see how you all are faring with the turn of events.” His nutmeg gaze then turns to Scorch. Something within him tells him that the hairless mare is held with esteem and respect in Nerine but the title Wolfbane had greeted her by. “I was hoping if either if you might know if my parents are still here,” he glances from the Scorch and then to Nalia and then back to Scorch. “My parents are Rome and Porcia. Are they?” He asks, forgetting the bitterness that once held his tangled emotions and thoughts together at the sound of their name. A part of him worried for what might happen, especially now that he was within Nerine.
