No man was ever wise by chance.
Rouge’s agreement to meet with Ulric was good to hear. Surely the Warden could help the newcomer to settle down and get used to how things went around Delumine, and Somnus was never against Ulric having a new patrolling buddy. The blue roan spent far too much time on his own as it was. Letting that warm, jovial grin remain on his lips as they continued their way through the courtyard and towards the looming citadel, its familiar ancient sides covered in holly and ivy, the dunalino chuckled warmly beneath his breath.
“Well, I can assure you that there is plenty to explore within Delumine proper, and beyond. The islands to the west are rather interesting if you fancy a day trip, but I must implore you to mind the flame-squirrels. They can be quite a handful.” Luckily they had since found a new home on the western islands off of the cost of the Dawn Court, but no one would soon forget the impressive amount of destruction they had caused within the Viride. Strange, that the fires had happened and then the murders had arisen within the forest. Perhaps there was some kind of connection?
Reaching the citadel, Somnus halted long enough to make a vague motion towards the looming structure with a flick of a wing. His smile remained a warm one, but there was no missing the look of pride that seemed to radiate from the stallion’s demeanor. This was home, and he loved it. Even before becoming King, he had adored this place of second chances. It offered so much to its people.
“There are empty chambers within the citadel, should you desire to bed down there. Of course you are free to find respite wherever you desire, if this does not suit you. Everyone is allowed to come and go as they wish.” The horses of Delumine built their homes wherever they deemed fit, but a majority of the inhabitants of Dawn did seem to live within the court proper. Currently it was far safer, but Somnus was not about to tell Rouge where he could and couldn’t rest his head at night. If he was anything like Ulric, however, he worried that the rust-colored lad might not need a place to reste.
Turning his head, the Dawn King’s emerald eyes glittered warmly towards the court’s most recent addition.”If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. We take care of our own here.” Or, try to, at least, but Somnus knew that he did not need to explain that. Rouge knew of the murders and clearly did not judge them for it, but even though the guilt and pain of it all stung him like the sharpest of blades, they were trying. That had to account for something, right?
