Diego/Andalusian/stallion/with Kite
Diego snorted ,and didn't like the looks of this new stallion's advances on Kite. He hated to fight ,but if he absoultely had to he will.He kept his grey pelted head held high,and went around this other stallion ,and made his way to Kite; One false move,and this other stallion will get it.

[~Last of Us~]

Kite was about to answer the stallions question when she saw Diego move. She back up, away from Diego to give him a little room. She was still behind her herd stallion but her eyes were on the new stallion. Watching him closely and wondering what he would do now. Kite was ready to move if they started to fight with each other.

Devil gave a slight frown, though inside he was grinning as Diego finally made a move. He was a little surprised that Diego had not retaliated. He was more submissive then Devil had originally thought, as he had just showed that he had allowed Devil to talk to his mare, and that Devil could completely ignore him. Devil shrugged to himself, though, snorting a little when Kite moved away. He could tell she was ready for a fight, but was wondering what he would do.

Seeing Diego's nonexistant resistance, he huffed, before turning back to Kite with a smile, continuing to ignore the stallion. "So, as I said, what do you think about the smoke?" The question was one that he was thinking on for a while, after all. He wondered how Rose was doing back there. As long as she wasn't calling for him, he figured it would be fine as what she would call for him was when Meadow and Iris got physical, or some leopard attacked them, though he highly doubted it, or the island moving again. And the last reason he would already know from where he was. Which left him free to play around here.

He saw that she respected her stallion, though, so any wise cracks about how he was letting a random stallion-him- just walk up and strike a conversation was kept to himself. It let him gain an advantage, and send a message, so very frankly, he didn't mind. In fact, he was very happy Diego had behaved that way. He looked at Kite, waiting for her answer.

[~Last of Us~]

Kite looked to the smoke then back to the stallion "It seems to be at the far end of the island or maybe even off the island." She said, her tail flicking calmly and to get rid of the pesky flies. She took a glance at her stallion wondering why he was so calm with another stallion that was clearly trying to get Kite. The mare looked at Devil and changed the subject back to his herd for a moment "Your mares are annoying. Sorry to say."

[lynettetan1]

Devil nodded. "Yeah, I know." It seemed that she realised her stallion was being too submissive too. In some ways, it was a good thing, he'd suppose. Devil snorted when she spoke once more, his ears laying back against his head for a moment. He didn't like any comments towards his herd, especially not negative ones. He knew how she could get to that conclusion though, as he himself found the two a little annoying with their refusal to make up for it. As such, he didn't hold it against her, but his posture got a little more cold for a moment, telling her that he really didn't like her beating up his herd. He did understand where she was coming from though, so he showed that by relaxing a moment later. It wasn't a comment made off the handle, it was a comment that had been thought about, that made sense. So Devil tried not to mind.

"They are a loving bunch, really. The entire squabble just happened because one of my mares disrespected me, and another disciplined her before I could. The mare wasn't exactly in the right place to do that though, so my other mare got a little miffed." He then snorted in displeasure at the thought. "And of course, they start squabbling and being sarcastic. They usually are nice company... I don't really know what got into them." He wasn't really one for talking about his problems, but if that could solve the misconception about his herd, then he would do it. He then shrugged. He knew his herd was imperfect, but to him, it was perfect before Iris and Meadow got into that fight, and it would be great again after. The fact that they were fighting irritated him, though, and he wished they would just apologise, stop being nitpicky, and get over it.

"It's alright, though, no offense taken. " He said with a shrug. His tail gave a flick, and he wondered why she had switched the subject back.

[~Last of Us~]

Kite noticed his posture stiffen at her comment but it didn't bother her. She was blunt and didn't care if she hurt someone's feelings. She had already with Diego. Kite flicked her tail again "Seems like they don't know how to listen." She stated again, just letting her thoughts out of her mouth. She watched the stallion closely. She lifted her head slightly.

[lynettetan1]

As Kite spoke once more Devil smirked. "Oh, I wouldn't say that. They listen when it matters." He said, not minding that comment. Though it struck home, and to be honest he was a little bit stung, he recognised it as her honest opinion. But that was his honest opinion as well and he wasn't going to change it. "I'll just let them shout at each other or something till they settle it. I don't want hatred to stay in my herd for too long, after all." He cocked his head, arching an eyebrow. "But I'm curious, what makes you think that?"

[~Last of Us~]

"I say that because if they really would listen they would if apologized and moved on but since they can't even do that shows they aren't really listening to you." The mare started and shifted from resting on one leg to another. "Also I can practically hear the whole conversation and one mare just seems to be doing it to please you in hopes she regains some status. But she also was about to leave until you made sure it was certain that is if she did you would use violence to make her stay. So she was scared into apologizing to the other. The other mare is just doing it to entertain herself and doesn't really care if the other really does apologizes." Kite added shaking her mane. Her voice was soft but serious as she spoke. "It doesn't matter if they finish fighting or not. If they do apologize to each other it only means there done fighting or you used violence to make them. They will still have some hatred for each other and the herd will never be the same as before." She finished watching the stallion.

[✌Celesse✌]

"Okay Guys! Listen up, no more acting up Iris" Rose laughed as she looked up at her sister. She quickly walked over to her "Get up, your going to get burrs in your mane" the mare nickered as she nudged her sister to stand.

Iris nodded and stood "I wonder if Devil might snake a mare" she grinned evily.
