Ronan had been watching the scene unfold from a low sloping rise, the large stallion had lead a rather battered mare down from the rocky rises which he knew must have been a treacherous place to chase a mare through. Though the stallion himself didn't seem to have many injuries apart from what he assumed were places were he had been kicked at, which seemed remarkable in it of itself. Yet as he noted numerous marks on the black male's face in spite of himself the flaxen stud's mouth curled into a slight grin, at the thought of the smaller mare inflicting such wounds. Somehow it only seemed fair, that she at least get some say, be it with words or hooves. Ronan himself had no qualms about using the tacts of chasing and snaking on rather stubborn mares, yet somehow when they were used by the foreign horses it seemed a terrible crime to commit. He was a bit biased in that sense of thinking, vouching first for the horses he deemed more like himself and always blindly resenting the equines who had obviously come from foreign lands. Ronan would have been quite content to simply let the scene pass, and continue grazing in silence when the stallion had guided his prize into a small cave. That was at least, until he noticed the characteristic stocky buckskin figure of a mare after his own blood follow after them.
He lashed his tail, quickly drawing his head up to full height on his shoulders at the sudden turn of events. Ronan watched as the stallion began nosing this new mare, silently claiming her as his. In a way it made his skin crawl, reminding him of the mares he had lost in a forceful explosion of emotion and memory. Without thinking he began moving, his uneven pace made by the downward slope to the cave mouth. Somewhere in the back of his mind, a reasonable voice was pulling at his mane, telling him to let it go and turn around. For all he knew the mare could already have known the stallion and enjoy his company, he had no right to go blundering off all half-cocked and unprepared into an unknown situation. In the end the voice was futile, falling silent and retreating in defeat from the painfully stubborn part of the stallion that now had control of Ronan's movements. He stopped at the cave entrance, his ears flattened to his neck and his tail lashing in an all together not unthreatening, and slightly frightening way that stallions could be. Ronan whinnied to the black stallion, the noise somewhere between a scream and a hiss as he sought the other male's attention.
