/Ummm, he's about 17 hands, but it's fine./
Auds pricked with his treatment of me. Sucking up, was what it was. But I liked it. Made me feel good. I sighed and finally lightened up. "Fine. You can be a member of the herd. However, there are a few rules you need to know." There hadn't been another stallion there since I claimed the Auroras, and I wasn't sure how to deal with them. "One: no flirting with my mares. I have two there, and I'm not in the mood to share, unless one of them asks me. If you want a mate, go find your own. Two: no commanding the other horses there, especially my son. You're a commoner, and will be, until I see fit to change your rank. Basically, don't get into any trouble. And seeing as I don't know it, and I'm not sure if anyone else does, you probably would be better off not speaking in your tongue when having a conversation with us. The herd's this way." I rose up, pivoted, and loped away. I didn't really care if he didn't come right away; I hadn't wanted another brute in my lands for a while. I was just too kind to turn him away.
