Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I did once... It was a fleeting moment. My sister came home pregnant one day, heavy with foal and the father was no where to be seen.. He didn't even bother to turn up and take responsibility for his sons..." He furrowed his brow once more. "She tried to brush it off like it didn't matter to her.. but.. I have a feeling it did.." He shook his head lightly.

"I know that I am not that stallion.. but.. I think it opened my eyes a bit more on just what life was like outside my grandmother's herd. I don't want to be just some passing moment in a mare's life where they only have foals as a reminder.. and while I'd never leave the mother of my children... who's to say she wouldn't leave me instead?" Clearing his throat, he shook his head once more. "Ah.. the random ramblings of my mind.."

He gave a solemn nod. It had hurt him to see it done to his sister enough that he'd been effected in his own choices concerning love. Even so hadn't his aunt had the same happen to her? Their father too had left his aunt after the deed had been done. It had all left a bitter taste in his mouth on the subject of love.

"I think if a stallion could do it that it is possible that a mare could do the same. Anyone's capable of doing anything, no matter how small or strong they are..." His tone was somber. this had been a subject he'd avoided talking about even with his family. In fact, it had been why he'd hidden himself more into his tinkering than usual especially more recently after his aunt had come home.

It seemed to him that every time the thought started to stir about him to possibly start looking and take that leap of faith in finding a mate that something happened.. one more of his family turned up rolled over by that funny emotion and left in a state of.. for lack of a better term.. broken hearted, cheated by false love and affections.
