The look on Barb's disappointed face made Talon glee with delight. Even after all this time, the mare relished in the disappointments and heart aches of her family - especially her twin brother. The stallion still had some growing up to do and Talon still needed a way to harden his heart...Which brought an idea to the mare's mind. The wheels turned mentally in her mind even as she listened to Shar's words and plea. Barb quickly answered for her cousin nodding excitedly as she licked her fangs. "We'd love to set some sort of arrangement! We haven't even had much of a chance to do deeds on the isles and this would be the perfect start!" The spiked mare's eyes glinted with a pleading that made her younger counterpart feel more in control. She gave a brief grunt flicking her tail idly behind her. "I would have liked for all of us to be here before we started our mayhem but it appears your brother has his own agenda." Barb gave a quick hiss in reaction to her twin, Fang. He was a selfish and maniac sort that did whatever he wanted on his instinctual whims. However, he was loyal and was willing to do extremely dirty work with no fore or after thoughts which made him quite reliable. "I say we can help you, Shar. We will take care of the underworld works which include the kidnapping and keeping of the foal as well as anything else your devious heart and mind desire if you pledge yourself to us. You will owe each of us a boon that we may call upon you at any time. Each of the family is different...you may have to do something extreme or you may have to do one small tinsy-winsy job in which the most you have to do is bat your eyelashes and look pretty. In turn, each of us would owe you a favor until we all have settled our scores. Consider this first job as a test run to see how well we work, neh?" Talon tilted her head eyeing the female with a bit of playfulness. She could see that Barb also considered the idea fair as well. Each of the family had a very special skill set which they would be willing to help Shar if she was willing to help them in return. All favors would be complete eventually and Talon was quite interested in how far their relationship would go. The female may even become a permanent member of the troupe need she play her fair share and cards right. Talon had already formed her first request from the mare...if she would listen. And of course she would need to get Shar alone... [Ahh I see.]

The look of disappointment on Barb’s maw made Sharsa wonder if perhaps they would disagree to her request. Alone it would be hard to do. In fact nearly impossible. That wouldn’t mean that she would give up only that she would change her tactics. A memory floated to the surface of her mind. When she had visited the mare and foal before she had thought about corrupting the mare but then vetoed the idea knowing the mother would easily undo all the hard work she would put into the foals mind. That and she had felt sick to her stomach and mind simply being there. But if she could pull off a kidnapping then it would be so much easier. She was pleased when Barb agreed and seemed to relish the idea. Barb had a brother? Well Sharsa figured she would have to be more careful in that regard. The last thing she needed was to annoy the brother and have it get back to the sister who might then withdraw her support. Damn family connections always made things harder. Oh Talon was certainly the one with a devious mind. Sharsa knew right away that agreeing to this partnership would yoke her to this group and possibly be the cause of her death, and yet it would mean making Alu-lote suffer. How could she say no? “Why Talon it’s very sweet of you call me devious, but really now I think we know which of us has the more cunning mind.” She gave the mare a look that plainly said she wouldn’t be fooled. There was no such thing as a tinsy-winsy job to her. “But since you and your darling cousin are so amazing how I could possibly resist? If it meant making that mare loose her mind with worry and corrupting her daughter while being able to stand next to the mare and watch it all I would gladly give you my mind, body and soul. Still I hope you don’t intend to use me in a battle of wits, for I fear I go in unprepared.” Her eyes twinkled so happily you would think she was about to kiss one of the other mares. Still she stayed where she was wondering what kinds of boons might be asked of her. Her skills in truth were limited and she knew it. That wouldn’t stop her from attempting to complete the task. “You know it seems silly to just do my task first. After all for all you know I might simply run off once I want done is done. So why not give me a task to complete first. This way you know I will follow through with the promise to grant your boons and you know that I will be honest enough to keep to my word.” And this will give me a chance to see what kinds of Azrein I’ve just enslaved myself too. If I don’t like it I will find a way to end you all.

Barb had run off for the most part in order to prepare some sort of holding area for the kidnapped foal. The female had grown so excited that standing around and talking would not do it for her. Talon looked over at her cousin with much disdain giving a gentle snort. At Shar's comment, Talon could do nothing but give the female a sly smile and a quick nod. "You flatterer. I may keep you all to myself." She gave a grin revealing her elongated fang as if pleased with this female. Perhaps she would be of use to the family... Her tail flicked and waved idly behind her as Shar stated her worries. "Oh no, dear. Not at all. We would only ask what we think you capable of doing. I'm sure whatever is asked you will be able to handle. You seem quite adaptable...." She eyed the other mare with a dark intent before tilting her head in question. "Ah. I suppose we would be too lenient in trusting you so readily. I mean I suppose you running off and not keeping your word...well we'd eventually find you. Or we'd keep that precious foal of yours. Barb and Fang so do love the tender meat." She flicked her ear idly before looking off toward the distance as if spotting a figure from afar. Without looking at the other, she spoke her request. "This is my boon for you, Shar: we have...one among us that I feel is not fully aboard. He's fallen off the band wagon before...and I refuse to let that happen again." Talon turned toward the mare with a darkness in her eyes that could chill a lesser being. She hoped that Shar could do this job. "I want you to infiltrate his inner core. Seduce him, make him trust you, I don't care. I want to know if he stands with our cause. All the information, I want you to report back to me and only me. No one else must know. Do you understand Shar?" At this point Talon had come closer to the female eyeing her with a malicious intent that wasn't quite geared toward her. "He must not know and you must not allow him to follow you. Keep the distance from the rest of us if it makes it easier. I trust you can do this job without much of a hassle, yes? I've already seen how well you can wield your emotions and manipulations on others. Barb took quite a shine to you. I was impressed. Fairly." Talon flicked her ears eyeing Shar with a mischievous smirk stepping away from the other mare to give her back her personal space as she awaited a reply.

“If you kept me all to yourself I’d never get anything done. Then where would we end up?” Sharsa smiled sweetly seeming immune to threatening looking fang. Pleased Talon seemed even more disturbing then calm. Sharsa really was surprised that Talon seemed so open with her compliments. The other mare really needn’t bother with them now. After all Sharsa had already agreed to be a part of the group at least until all favors have been paid up. She laughed at Talon’s statement. It was funny what the other mare thought. “Oh dear Talon I never said the foal was precious to me. I liked the idea of corrupting her so that her mother might have a permanent lingering pain of failure. If I wanted to run I wouldn’t care if you licked the foal all the way to the bones. Still it’s very kind of you think I could be so loving.” In truth Sharsa really didn’t care as long as she didn’t specifically kill the foal herself. It was one of the few qualms Sharsa had. She would never willingly kill a foal herself, but others killing foals was not an issue. She wasn’t sure why but that was how she thought. Listening to Talon’s request she nodded and watched the mare’s eyes. There was an anger there that made the pit of Sharsa’s stomach tremble. Whatever this male was clearly the wrath Talon had for him was long in coming. “Well then Talon might I suggest you at least give me a name, a direction and reason to endure myself to him. Please don’t make it too deep or I will have trouble keeping up with him. It’s doesn’t even need to look to bad. After all I don’t seem all that strong do I?” Sharsa looked at Talon with her eyes full of meaning. She left herself open to attack. If she were wounded she could easily play the wounded or lost mare and follow the male if he helped her at all. Even if he didn’t she could follow him pretending to use him for a shield. Either way as long as she knew his name then she could make sure she had the right target. “Oh only your lovely cousin only likes me because I bring fun little games for her to play and you only tolerate me because you see me as your new toy, am I close?” Sharsa made a little hum sound. “I don’t mind. After all like I said I’m no leader, so having someone play with me isn’t something I’ll fight against, especially since I like whose pulling my strings.” She winked at Talon waiting for the blow.

There was information that she was gathering from Shar just as Shar gathered information from her. It was give and take this society and Talon was playing the game. Not well exactly but still playing. Her nostrils flared as she gave a bit of a snort keeping the idea in mind to claim whatever foals Shar used in her plan. Fang and Barb would definitely love the snack it seemed. Shar's accusations of herself and her cousin only made Talon snarl with a brief annoyance. This female was disrespectful as she was conniving and false. But it was talents and characteristics that concerned Talon - not personality. The mare leaned forward brushing her cheek against Shar's purring gently before pulling away leaving nothing. Her fur only bristled after when she turned her head and gave a call. "You won't have to work too hard, Puppet. He's already here...and will continue to be. The one coming is your target..." The stallion moved forward in a quick canter, muscles moving underneath bristled and blotched fur. His eyes glared with a darkness, one being covered by his massive bangs of black hair. As he came closer, it was quite evident that the two before Shar were twins. The male stretched his body slightly coming close to his sister. He leaned over and nudged her neck in greeting and nipped at her ear playfully. "You called, my sister?" He commented stealing a look at the small gray mare in front of them. His eyes studied her with unknown intent before turning back toward Talon.The mare fluffed up her fur slightly as her brother made onto the scene. She leaned against him slightly playing the loving sister grooming his neck and mane and bangs slightly before turning back toward Shar. "Yes. Claw this is Shar. We will be working together now for Shar has a need of some dirty work." The mare flashed a wicked smile as Claw took her in. "I shall leave you two to get acquainted while I check on Barb." Talon shot Shar a look as if to acknowledge their deal before turning and walking away in the direction Barb went a while back.Claw nodded toward his sister before allowing his gaze back on the female. She was...small...and so not like them. She was cute in a plain way but wasn't something he could see himself being attracted to. He pawed at the ground slightly shaking his head a bit. "So...you're Shar. What dirty work will we be doing for you now?" He eyed her carefully grinning to show that he had a fang much like his sister save much larger and on the opposite side. This would prove interesting...

Shar was disappointed it figured the other mare would cause her trouble, why couldn’t she just take the hint and smack Shar so that the fur had some scratches and blood that Shar could play up. If the other Azrein really was going away from Talon’s clutches then it would be so much easier to find out if she said she had a reason to be against Talon. Ah well she’d find out in either case. Turning her head she watched the stallion approach. He was a strong looking male. A bit brutish for her taste, but a job was a job especially if she wanted help kidnapping that foal. She nodded when Talon introduced her. Claw. Well wasn’t that just a dismal name? Who named all these Azrein a human? Still she kept her face nutral and tried hard not to show panic when Talon simply up and left them alone.
Being small and frail looking had always served Sharsa well, but against this male and the way the herd functioned she wondered if it would be so effective. “Well I’m not sure what you’d call it since both kidnapping and rescue are accurate.” She offered him a smile. It wasn’t one of outright fear but it was one of reservation like she didn’t know him and didn’t trust him. So it was one of the few times Sharsa’s expression was the complete and utter truth. She looked at him smiled and blinked innocently. “You know both you and your sister have the loveliest fangs.” She walked around him giving him a wide enough birth that he wouldn’t feel intruded on and he could get as good a look at her as she got of him What stuck out like a sun in her eyes was his bristly fur. Probably also like his sisters meaning that meant she really wouldn’t want to do anything that would annoy him too badly or she’d end up like the plant from before.
Now then they were supposed to get to know one another right? Well then how could she get him talking and found out what she needed to know.? Well simple was a good enough way to start she supposed. Well she had walked her mane had gotten into her eyes giving a little toss of her head she looked the male straight in the eyes. Let him wonder if she were acting brave and brazen or if she were. She wasn’t going to tell. “Well now since we are supposed to get acquainted is there anything I should know about you Sir Claw?” She remained polite and her body language was only neutral no hostility, but no love either.

The stallion watched her carefully, his eyes searching her for some sort of answer to how she was feeling. Unlike his cousins and sister, Claw was inexperienced at this sort of thing...He wanted so badly to learn that sometimes he was all too willing to do things for his family. He wondered if maybe this mare would be his ticket... "Ah. Is it your foal or something? I wouldn't understand why anyone would stick their necks out for someone who doesn't even know they need saving." He gave a snort shaking his head a little as it to try and wrap his head around the mare's scheme. Needless to say, Claw was a bit naive.
He raised his neck a little tilting his head back to get a better look at Shar. His upper lip flicked to show his fang for a moment more out of habit than anything. "Family trait?" He offered with a bit of a laugh shaking his bangs from his face. He watched her carefully as she strode around him, his tail flicking and waving idly behind him, ears swiveling to catch her sound, her movement, her breathing speed. Claw was studying her internally as much as possible as well as externally. It almost shocked him when she stopped and stared him dead in the eyes. Claw met her gaze keeping his own emotions as stoic as possibly while trying to read hers. This one was definitely one of mind games....maybe...He still wasn't sure.
The stallion cleared his throat looking toward her with a "suave" stare shaking his head back and forth as deepened his voice playfully. "Well Shar..." He gave a low purr like growl coming forward as he waggled his eyebrows. "I am but a mystery. I can say that I'm more trouble than I'm worth, but I won't let my family down for anything." His voice normalized and slightly hardened after the last statement, his gaze looking a little determined as a spark seemed to fly about him. "What about you? Anything I need to know, Lady Shar?" He mimicked her titles, ears flicking forward as he relaxed himself.

Well he certainly isn’t as polished as Rakai was but this male definitely has potential to be a suave and seductive stallion. Pity he needs so much refining. Still he is funny. When he called her lady Shar she snorted and laughed letting any tension she had out of her muscles. Now she didn’t look threatening or even close to intimidating. “Well firstly I’m no lady of any kind. I don’t have that kind of refinement. I’m fairly simple I’m afraid. So if you expect something fancy I’d suggest you look elsewhere.” Sighing she shook her head letting her amusement show through. “Well the little foal I want to take isn’t mine, but I do have a few boys of my own. No this foal belongs to a mare who is so hopelessly enamored with the king and humans that leaving the foal in her care would only twist it’s poor mind beyond help. ” The amusement in her voice died as she spoke about the foal. A hint of pity even crept in which she thought was a nice touch. “I’ve seen how fickle humans are and how the bond seems like such a joyous thing, when in fact it’s a form of enthrallment. A young one should be free to pick for themselves.” Shaking her head back and forth as if to clear if of darker thoughts she gave the male a weak smile like she was trying to shake off the morbid thoughts. “So I made a deal with your family to help take the foal so it could learn that humans aren’t the only way of life. So Sir Claw of mystery is there anything else I can possibly answer for you? I must warn you though I’ll be asking a few questions of my own. I’m not quite sure yet what kinds of questions I’d like to ask.” She looked down so that the front of her mane fell before her eyes before she continued. “Your appearance is a bit” She managed to conjure a small blush. “distracting.” Coughing she looked up but avoided the male’s eyes and looked anywhere but at him and shifted her stance a bit. There she’d given him more than enough food for thought. If the male couldn’t keep the conversation going then he was a fool. She mentioned her foals, her plan, her motives, and even done a bit of light flirting. The male wasn’t nearly as quick as his sister seemed to be so Shar was a bit relieved. The male seemed honest. It was a shock considering Talon seemed the kind to sell her own family if it was needed. That was a mare Sharsa could follow. This male was useable but not a leader clearly, but he had the looks he could be set up as one if there where someone behind him pulling his strings.

Claw couldn't help but chuckle at her comments. She was quite funny to hear and she seemed honest about herself with him. He was so used to deception that it felt mildly fresh to be around someone who was new and not of the clan. Her story, however, sobered him up as he listened to what he had to do and what she had to say. Anger burned within his bones as he stomped the ground with a back hoof. "I understand the dire situation of this now. I never really looked at a bonding that way...all I knew was that humans need to be eradicated for the sake of our kind and for everyone else. No point in having them around. Even as food they would be dangerous and treacherous...especially to my tummy." The stallion made a gagging sound pawing at the ground with a front hoof while snorting and giving a mild grunt of disapproval. "I'm glad you found my sister and my cousin. I'll be sure to help as much as I can, Lady Shar." He deepened his voice again in teasing not being able to keep the smile from his face. At her question, he gave a shrug. "Well you said you have foals. Are you going to bring them here or do they stay with your mate?" The stallion in his past experience of others realized that usually when one mentioned foals, the other half was around. It was very rare that they weren't together. Pity. She was kinda pretty. "Ask of me what you will. I have nothing to hide for what you see and hear is what I will always be." He tilted his head a moment trying to figure out what she meant by distracting. It was true most females figured he was some fluffy thing that could be cuddled next to but he had to be extremely careful. He could cut her... He gave a bit of a shrug. "Well you'll just have to get used to it won't you?" Claw flashed another grin and posed for her hoping to make her laugh. He liked her laugh.

Well he was easy to convince of her cause. Had he been kicked in the head as a foal or was he just born slow? He was a grown stallion and yet he said tummy? What was next nap time? Sharsa really hoped not after all she was supposed to be following him she didn’t want to get bored doing her job. Still he was Talon’s brother so maybe staying close to him would make her transaction with this group easier. Yes that had a lot of potential. Who knew maybe this male would be her knight in shining armor and she could use him like a sword someday if she was careful with him. She laughed lightly at his comment. “Oh I’m sure I’ll get used to it soon enough. After all I’ll be staying with your sister and cousin’s group until I pay them off for helping me. I know Barb will want me to do something. I just don’t know what yet.” She wasn’t about to say Talon wanted something too. “But I still haven’t answered your question. I’m sorry. I think I may bring my son and perhaps one of my others, provided I can get them away from their sire.” She shook her head slowly. “No I have no mate. It was a mistake that resulted in foals. Still they are my children and I can’t just abandon them.” She looked at him with eyes that pleaded for him to understand. “I couldn’t just leave them behind. They are precious to me, even if their father is… even if I can’ only bring one or two…” She shook her head again only this time discarding the rest of her sentence. Rakai wasn’t so bad, but she didn’t need to tell Claw that. If he wanted to keep calling her lady then she’d play the part of one. Delicate and in need of protection, it was role she was very very good at. She looked up at him. “You understand don’t you? Well maybe not you probably have a mate and she takes care of your foals for you. It’s so hard when you’re caring for them all alone.” She sighed and smiled weakly at him. “Still I think if your sister and cousin will let me I would be happy to bring my son here. After all it would be safer then leaving him alone when I’m gone. Pity he’ll never know a father figure.”

He couldn't help his wide smile. So she was staying for longer? That was fantastic news if he ever did hear it. Maybe he could get to know her at some point, if she allowed of course. Shar seemed like the type of mare that wasn't easy to get. "Well my sister and my cousin are harmless for the most part, I assure you. But family is family and I can't do much of anything about that... His voice trailed as a bit of sadness came about him. Claw perked up again a little big giving a grunt. "Barb is kinda dumb. It's Talon you have to watch for. My twin sister is a crafty one." He eyed the direction that she left in as if suspicious for a time."Ah. I'm sure the kids will have plenty of interesting things to find here." Claw motioned toward the barren area around them in more sarcasm than anything else. As her pleading gaze met his, his heart somehow felt like it was stung in a thousand places. He started to feel for her. "Lady Shar...if I may, I can go with you to bring your foals here. I'm sure there's something that we can both do together." He came up to her giving a gentle whicker leaning forward as if to brush the bangs from her forehead but he retracted himself. He had to remember his fur. "I..have no mate. I've never been with anyone..." Claw looked away quite bashfully feeling the sting of his inexperience. She probably wanted someone who was more of a male than he was...but he could at least try right? "Since my sister and cousin asked a boon of you, I shall ask you one of my own..." He bit on his lower lip a little gathering courage. "I may just have met you, but I want to help you, Lady Shar. If I bring your children here with you and become a father figure for them...do you think maybe you could consider becoming something to me?" The last part the stallion rushed as he looked her back in the eyes as if trying to read her. She was something out of a dream for him, it was so unreal...why was he feeling this way so fast?[[It's because you're an idiot and a love struck colt..BAHAHAHAHA. Poor Claw.]]

All smiles. Claw really was nothing like his sister. Though that made her task easier a small bit of scorn started to form in her stomach. She didn't let on though just seeming happy to learn a bit about the Azrein she had already met. Though the fact Talon warned of his sister struck her as odd. It would have been better to say Barb was smart and Claw was shy. Then others guard would be up around Barb who seemed the type to rather bite than outmaneuver, and the preys guard would be dropped around Talon who could lure them to their doom. "Oh. I didn't know that. I-I'll try and not anger your sister." She shifted a bit and looked down actually feeling a bit of the shyness she portraying. "Well you and your family are interesting and you live here." It was true the land may be useless to a foal but oh the things a young one could learn in a place with the strong and crafty! Shar really didn't need Claw's help to go and get her foals. When they were born she had arranged it with Rakai that she would take one or two with her, still how could she pass up an offer like the males? It would play so nicely into her plans. A brief flare of panic welled up as Claw mentioned the boons. How had he known his twin had asked for one. Then she realized that he must have just lumped Barb and Talon together. Holding her breath still she let it out slowly as if what Claw had just said was a surprise. She didn't look up at his eyes yet though as he tried to move the bangs from her eyes she dipped her head lower. She couldn't. How dare the audacious male think he could get her if he just pretended to be her foals father. Smothering her anger she made sure she was completely calm before she looked up. "You would really do that? You don't even know me. To help a mother get her foals is one thing, you're proposing..." She shifted and sniffed once. "I'm not even a young filly, just an old nag with young ones." She wasn't that old, but hey she figured she could milk it. "You can't really.. want me?" Her eyes held a bit of wonder to them. Well it wasn't really caused by Claw's interest in her she didn't think he could tell the difference.
(I feel so bad for Claw. Shar she's just horrible. And yet i don't think she'd ever do anything harmful to him since she does like Talon and he is her brother...)

Well he had gone a little fast now that he had thought about it. But she distracted him with her conversation and beautiful eyes. "Well Talon isn't bad. She does mean well. But push comes to shove, she will sacrifice anything to get what she wants. I know that all too well..." Claw turned away from her face staring out at nothing as if to push away any thoughts he had about his family. They had scorned him and turned him away once. He went through hell to get back in - at the cost of something dear to him - and he refused to be pushed back out of the circle. But no need to tell this mare that. Claw turned to her and gave a bit of a laugh shaking his head. "That we do...hopefully the little ones will like it here..." He trailed off thinking about his cousin, Fang. The stallion was a brute and once he had his sights on something it was hard to get him away from it. Claw was sure that once he saw Shar, it would be the end for her...which was something he was trying to avoid. The stallion flicked and waved his tail idly shaking his head a bit. "Well..I did jump a bit, Lady Shar...I'm not very good with girls. You're not old at all! Sure you may be older than me, but that doesn't make you..old!" He was trying to grasp for the words without sounding too much like a young buck. "Besides, those foals will need teaching right? And I'm sure there are some things Talon and Barb can't teach." Claw's mouth quirked a bit. "Look, I don't mind helping you raise them along with my sister and cousin. But let me be truthful, I like you. And I think you'd be something wonderful to me if you give me the chance..." His voice faltered a little as he gave a bit of a grunt shaking his head a moment. There was an uncomfortable silence before he gave a grunt starting to go forward careful not to touch her. "I guess I should show you where you and your foals will be staying." Claw coughed not facing her again as he absently licked his tooth that always seemed to show, his ears flicking forward and backward as if listening to see if anyone had stumbled into their territory as well. Shar would be part of the group now...he had to look after her too.[Don't get cold feet now, Sharsa! xd But ahh it's whatever happens. Maybe in after your next post we can do a time skip and bring in both sets of foals: Barb's and Shar's .]

Trouble in paradise? No wonder Talon had wanted to ferret out her brother’s heart. The male did have something he kept to himself. Deciding she might actually have to try to get closer to figure it out she smiled at his laugh like it was music to her ears. “I don’t know about not being ‘good with girls’ you seem to be doing just fine to me.” She giggled. “Though I do have a tip. The only one allowed to call a mare old is the mare herself. Anyone else and it’s just rude. But since you’re not good with girls and very sweet I’ll forgive you.” She batted her eyes at him and smiled softly. As he started to move she followed him keeping pace. Than she did something incredibly stupid; but perfect for the role she was play. She leaned forward and gently rubbed her maw against the side of his that didn’t have his fang showing. She pulled away having a small series of scratches along her maw and one or two spots where she was now bleeding lightly. It would stop quickly of course but it showed on her coat. She had just willingly leaned in and gave the love-struck boy some tender contact. It would be worth the pain if it helped serve her purpose. “ You are right. There are things that only a stallion could teach my little ones. I just can’t believe how tender your heart is to offer and help raise foals that aren’t your own. You are a rare catch that any mare would be lucky to have.” She dropped her tone so it sounded more appealing. “And I don’t know why you’d be interested in a mare like me, but if you’re serious. I-I don’t think I’d mind staying with you.” Staying near him and fulfilling her debt to Talon along the way. It’d be nice to have a member of this herd on her side should she need to leave quickly or on unpleasant terms. Claw and Talon might be siblings but Claw was so easy to manipulate that she wondered if Talon was just paranoid or incapable of dealing with the situation properly to even have questions about the male’s heart. Following him to where she and her young would be staying she had to admit that she would find it quite comfortable and even a bit cozy. Now she’d just have to bring her son’s and start planning out her revenge.
(Shar cold feet? Naw.. she did test the water of his convictions though… and reminding him of little ones he’d have to deal with to get her. She just got free foal sitting… smart and evil. I’m good with a time skip.)

He chuckled keeping pace with her. "You're too kind, Lady Shar." The stallion gave a grunt waving his tail behind him idly careful to keep it away from her. "Well I didn't mean to call you old. Oh bullocks, I did it again." Claw coughed offering a sheepish grin, his fang glinting in contrast against his fur. Then the mare did the unthinkable: touched him, and he couldn't move away fast enough. Surely his sister had warned her about each of their skins. Claw gulped a little looking down to see the scratches on her face. Instinctively, he leaned forward and licked the blood away. Like all of his family, they had an unnatural addiction to blood and flesh. Shar's tasted sweet... He quickly shook his head, his gaze slowly growing dark. "I ask you don't do that again without my permission." Claw said nothing more as he now kept his distance from her. He was sure she meant well, but he could potentially get her killed. As they neared the small dug out copse that Barb and Talon had prepared, Claw wondered about this Shar. Why was she being so delicate...so loving when something kept nagging at his brain that Shar was more than what she was? But he shook it aside constantly. No. Shar was a mare that simply needed their help. That's all. And she was pretty. And she touched him. And she liked him, obviously. He had to take her into consideration now. He hoped he was doing this right...It wasn't his first time but he wasn't exactly good at this either. "I'm glad you feel that way, Lady Shar." His voice was light again as he offered her a smile. "We - I want you here. And I think you'll enjoy it here with your young as well. My heart has gotten me in trouble numerous times. Hopefully this will be the last time." Claw grunted stopping short of her shelter. "Well my cousins will take care of you now, Lady. I must go patrol." Claw whistled and was given a reply of grunts and growls from Barb and Talon. With that he took off at a sprint toward the boarders as if something was on his back. Unbeknownst to him, Talon's eyes bore right at his back with a scrutiny of a thousand suns, an unhappy expression on her face. This would not be the end..[TIME SKIP]
