One of Zaphiro's eyebrows raised at the rather arbitrary way that the older male asked Cynara about going somewhere with him but failed to ask he himself if he cared to walk. Odd way to go about doing things, but whatever. At least Cynara seemed to have a decent grasp on the situation, actually bringing Zaphiro's wishes into the situation. Giving her a thankful nod, he turned and inclined his head at Cyrus. "It would be my pleasure."

Cyrus looked to him, "Good, be back in a few darling." He glanced to Cynara giving her a sweet, innocent looking smile but she didn't buy it. She didn't have to, he led the way so they were out of ear shot from Cynara whom he was guessing taking paces back and fourth letting curiousity consume her to the brink. "So young Zaphiro how has your day been treating you?" he asked curiously. He had plots, he would get to his point when needed be.

Strange stallion, this Cyrus; Zaphiro had understood what might have been meant earlier when Cyrus had first appeared, but now the older stallion's behavior was starting to perplex him. Who on earth went out tailing their daughter only to interrupt and go walking with them themself? He could understand such behavior with significant others, but if Cyrus did this with every friend Cynara got...
Shaking his head to dismiss the uncivil thoughts, he gave Cyrus a shrug. "It hasn't been unpleasant, by any means; just a typical day. And hopefully yours has treated you well also?"

Cyrus looked to him, "It had been alright," he looked to him more seriously. He stopped himself looking to Zaphiro. "Though you say you indeed are only friends, their have been cases as such with Cynara already that I will not discuss without her behalf. But if anything happens to my daughter like one of her past friends it will be your head." he looked to him sternly. "Just so were on the same page, she's my youngest daughter that I ever get to see and hence my protective side comes out. Its nothing to you personally, young Zaphiro."

...Ok then. Nice way to start off a conversation indeed. In fact, it was on the tip of Zaphiro's tongue to ask whether or not Cyrus was this blunt with every stallion Cynara spent time with before he remembered what she had told him, about how protective her father was. Looking at the larger stallion, Zaphiro wondered if he had any idea how hard he was making things for his daughter, even unintentionally; stallions that weren't involved yet were much more likely to be scared off by a threatening parent than those who WERE involved, so by his very behavior Cyrus was directly affecting her lovelife, or causing the lack thereof? Poor girl, did she know that this sort of thing went on?
Perhaps it was that thought that made him speak up. His tone was polite, of course, but there was no deference in his clear gaze or in his firm voice. "With all due respect, Cyrus, your daughter is a mare fully grown. I can understand the desire to protect her, but this sort of behavior is far more likely to scare stallions off than endear your daughter to them. No one cares to be threatened, particularly when there is no cause."

He smiled, "Well than Zaphiro if one was truly scared off by me they wouldn't truly love my daughter. Love can beat the biggest obstacles, I know that for a fact. And if I didn't think my daughter didn't have a fancy for you we wouldn't have this conversation. She hasn't spoke to another male for more than five seconds, so you must have intrigued her in some way. But it doesn't matter, rather have them know from the start what their getting into rather than finding out later." he shrugged. He was pretty honest, and nothing in him said he was joking. Oh Zaphiro would not fear him if he knew Cyrus, but he did not fear him and this made Cyrus think more highly of him. He needed to get out more, go talk to his younger brother. Something, he felt like a caged animal now...he hadn't spoken to another in days and this is how it turned out.

"That might be the case, but most stallions of my acquaintence and knowledge don't tend to fall in love so soon. Given the fact that I myself have only known Cynara for an hour or so, I can truthfully say that I have no such ideas that would merit an inquisition of this sort, and were I not the sort that feels no shame for things I haven't done, I would perhaps have done the same thing and bolted."
Not that he really would have. Zaphiro wasn't the type to let anyone intimidate him either into or out of any particular behaviors, and he didn't plan on taking on such characteristics now. However, he had a distinct problem with this sort of interrogation, and felt that the sooner Cyrus was set straight, the better things would be for Cynara.
And speaking of Cynara, Zaphiro was a bit amused at her father's rather bald statement about her, even though he didn't show it. Whether or not it was true, he had to wonder what sort of parent went around blurting out the personal feelings of a child, particularly to someone that they'd never met before. Ah well.
Quirking a brow at the older male, Zaphiro queried in a very bland tone. "Is that all, or is there more to this exposition?"

Cyrus contained himself, he was actually quite proud. When did he become proud? That was odd...what had gotten to him. "Yes it is." His head sort of shrank as a head ache shot through him as if a knife had penetrated him. He looked ill and he himself hadn't any idea what it was and it wasn't like him to show weakness in front of others...except maybe Alona at times. She babied him when he was sick, but he was usually strond for him and his family. He paused as Cynara came into view.
Cynara looked at her father, and then Zaphiro giving him a soft smile. Her head turned back to Cyrus, "whats the matter father?" Her emerald orbs were glazed with confusion, but she didn't quite know what was going on either and it was odd. She nosed his shoulder carefully and it shuddered against her. He only did that when he wasn't feeling well. Something was up but she didn't know what Cyrus was going to do at the moment.

He hadn't been expecting that. One moment they'd been talking, the next moment Cynara was there, asking if everything was ok. And somehow, Zaphiro doubted that question was being asked of him.
Well, so much for things ending normally.
Glancing from the stallion that stood next to him to the mare, Zaphiro was aware that Cynara was seeing something that he wasn't, but given the fact that he had only just met Cyrus...that made sense. As did the realization that he was suddenly in the way.
That in mind, he suddenly stepped back from the two. "I think that this would be my cue to go." Tilting his head politely, he gave father and daughter a smile. "It's been a pleasure to meet you, Cynara, and you as well, Cyrus. Until next time."
