King's Decree {Victum + Pyrios + Celtic}

[..Joules..]

The brilliantly hued Arabian followed routes only he appeared able to comprehend, weaving easily and lightly through the slender trees that grew thickly all around Zephyr... creating a natural barrier of sorts. Since leaving the slave pens, Pyrios hadn't slowed once save to move into a long trot as he entered the forest. Victum would have to keep up on his own. It was a test of sorts, to see how strong and fit this new guard really was. Finally they emerged into the bright sunlit fields, where the stallion came to a stop and released a bugling cry to Celtic, wherever she might be. Everything must be arranged.

Celtic Tiger flowed easilly toward her master. Her auds were pricked toward the fiery stallion but her eyes wandered to the roan stally behind him. Slowing to a graceful trot she snorted as she stopped infront of her master. "M'lord" She nodded her head to him. "Who might that be?" She asked slightly demanding slightly respectful. She wasn't trying to be rude only trying to figure out who the new stallion was.

[taysha]

Victum padded through the trees. Was all of his land like this?" Victum hoped it wasn't, he had a tendency to get lost and well that would not be good. Victum was quite relived when he got the clearing, he saw a vix coming towards them and wondered if it was another slave or his new master's mate. Either way he dipped his head respectfully to the vix, "Greetings M'Lady." He said smiling as she approached.

[..Joules..]

Pyrios' ears flickered with mild irritation at the mare's unceremonious question, but the mere fact that she had taken the time to acknowledge him with a nod beforehand allowed him to dismiss it. "Celtic, this is Victum. He will be responsible for watching over you and the rest of the herd as it grows when I am gone." It wasn't that he intended to be away very much... but there were duties beyond Zephyr's boundaries that called for his attention at times and he much preferred to know that there was at least one other stallion to watch after things here. He turned his deep gaze from one to the other, ensuring that they were paying complete attention. "It is important that I let you know, Victum, that if I am ever given reason to believe that you have acted unwisely with the mares while I am away, I will have quick retribution. It is also Celtic's duty to let me know if anything happens."

[taysha]

Victum nodded, he understood the stallions concern, some stallions would take advantage of that kind of oppritunity. He wasn't that kind of stallion, he wanted the mares to trust him. "I promise she won't have anything to report but I understand your concern, master. " He said holding his masters gaze steadily, "Celtic is a very pretty name, and you can call me vic." he said turning his attention back to the mare, she didn't seem to use their masters title and victum wondered why.

[//.Jazzy]

The mare snorted at the stallion slightly. "Celtic Tiger" She said shortly. "And it's nice to meet you to" She didn't bother saying his name fore she really wasn't planning on getting to know him. Turning back to the fiery stallion she lightened her eyes and her body language though the rough note in her voice didn't leave. "M'lord is there anything you need?" She asked. She was mad that he thought that she couldn't handle herself. Her name was Celtic Tiger for one reason and that reason was becouse of her fiery attitude and her fighting.

[..Joules..]

"There is nothing else I require as of the moment," Pyrios responded. He could tell that Celtic was somewhat miffed at having a guardian around, and he knew perfectly well that she could probably look after herself... but there was always safety in numbers... and once the foals came around it would never hurt to have a few extra grown horses around. "You may explore the lands for now if you like, Victum. I will be remaining here until the morning, so you are not yet expected to be on full duty."
