In reply to: Dance 's message, "- Save The Last For Me -" on 10/13/03 11:18am

His cool gaze washed over DoT. So the contest had been decided? And he, as King, was the last to know. Ah, well, he had been abnormally preoccupied in the last days. Putting his conversation with the new queen on the back burner for the moment, he warmed his gaze again to speak to Dance, noting the turbulent emotions flashing in her eyes.

"If you would, m'dear, could you do me an enormous favor? I'm sure that my lovely mate is at her wit's end, being unable to fight, and my head-strong son is rebelling against being tied down. Could you possibly help keep an eye on Hex for Tori and me?"

His tone was charming, that of a practiced courtier. He truely liked the filly and was trusting her with his most precious possession -- his heir and son. His chiseled facade turned again to address DoT, a strained version of his earlier, courtly grin attached firmly to his lips. If DoT was to be the new queen, he saw no use in trying to shield her from the horrors of the war. Protocol demanded that she now make her appearances out on the battlefield alongside her co-regent and, as clever as the auburn stud was, he couldn't defend his own life as well as protect the delicate sensibilities of the young queen.

"Forgive me Daughter of Time, but I haven't had the opportunity to see Tori or Euphoria as of yet. Adrian has proved a most worthy opponent and has managed to commandeer my time and energy since the beginning of this debacle. To be truthful, this is the first chance I've had to speak with anyone other than him. I assure you, dear lady, that I will see it attended to as quickly as can be expected."

Suppressing a sigh, he momentarily focused his weary gaze on the heavens, drawing strength from moment of peace. Refocusing, he spoke quietly again.

"I don't know Star very well, but I'm assuming that she is one of your friends. I do hope that you left her with reinforcements before leaving her at the hands of the evils. While not all evils are savage beasts, a few names come to mind that wouldn't flinch at harming a lone mare. Perhaps you should remain here and I'll venture out to sort out the mess in Misty Peaks."

Without waiting for a reply, the mahogany stud flashed a brief smile at the filly and a curt nod to DoT. His barely leashed temper simmered at the top of his control, virtually guarenteeing that he would walk away before his calm reserve was shattered. Picking up a brisk trot, the Light King made his way to the aforementioned terra, glad of the long journey to put his defensive barriers firmly back in place.
