OOC: this is not powerplaying-- I am continuing from your actions from the claiming post
As the lady trotted after the stag, he couldn't help but glance back at her. She was quite pretty, with her tassles and lashes snapping in the atmos aft her.
He stopped abruptly, waited for the ess to halt, and turned to her.
Lady Snofoxx, I welcome you to The Caves, my humble abode and kingdom.
He stepped towards her and nuzzled her hide in welcome, then added.
My queen is Lady Irezu, and her sibling Tenga also makes his home here.

She followed him, with distance but not too much distance. She took in the surroundings of her new home. She was enchanted with it, taking it in brought her to awe and shock, for she had not known such a place could exist. Out of the corner of her occuli she caught him glance back. An inner chuckle was released. Suddenly the lord came to a sudden stop, then swiftly turned to face her. She pulled up near him taking in his words.
Cranium nodded lightly as his words where spoken. A beautiful home you have Lazuli. I have not had a home before, nor did it seem until you had came. Dark occuli scanned his, her dished profile giving her a exotic feel. I would like to meet the lady some day, she is lucky to have you Lazuli. [/color][/size]

Irezu was standing in the main cave, dozing quietly in the cool darkness. Auds pricked as sound carried on the breeze to where she stood. Hooves clipping softly against the stone floor of the cave, the Lady of the Neutrals made her way to the entrance.
It took but a moment for Irezu to spot Lazuli. He was not alone, but was accompanied by another femme. A mildly amused smile touched her lips. Already at work to build a harem.
The amused expression smoothed into one of warm welcome as she made her way through the pool placed at the front of the cave. A slight splash alerted her to the fact that Tenga was following. Upon reaching the other side, the Arab gave herself a slight shake to free her bay coat of excess liquid, then moved closer to where Lazuli and the new femme stood in time to hear her last two statements.
Irezu smiled. 'I hope that today is an acceptable time to meet me.'
Tenga halted to the left and slightly behind his half-sister. He dipped his gracefully arched nape, his muzzle nearly touching the ground as he bowed to the newcomer in courteous greeting.

Greetings, Irezu, milady, and Tenga. I believe now is a good a time as any for you to meet. Might I introduce Snofoxx.
He nickered a greeting to the two and halted.
Snofoxx, this is my queen, lady of the lights, Irezu, and her sibling, Tenga. Tenga, do you mind her using that name?
He exchanged a bow of his serpentine to the others as they came to meet him.
I hope you take no offense to my welcoming another friend. All stags are not healthy for my queen, do you not agree? Surely you would be more comfortable with a femme for a friend?

The vixens nape arched slightly, banner lightly cascading upon her shoulders as Irezu made her appearance. Occuli scanned her bodice over, well suited. Her bone structer ideal for these lands, muscled well and attractive. Snofoxx felt slightly intimidated by the lady of the neautrals, for her ways where of the wiser she could be sure of that.
Slowly another came into her view. A smaller framed but just as elegant as the equine of which he followed. Snofoxx scanned the other equine, to find small differances and similarities between the two. She watched him curiously has his own thin, but finely chiseled nape lowered to the earth in a bow. Slightly taken aback at the bow she took a pace back. For she thought of herself not to be bowed at, but to bow at who lay before her. She did so, finely arched neck and dished dial bowed in respect.
Audits picked up the sounds of which was Lazuli, made introductions. Intently she took in his words and introduction. e'llo, lady and...Tenga. It is thy pleasure to be greeted by you. Her eyes lay upon them all but lingered upon Tenga, only for a slight moment before she turned her focus back upon Lazuli. Maw twisting into an intent smile. [/size]

Lazuli smiled as well, proud to have such the fine makings of a harem already. He was well content with the two esses and Tenga.
I hope there shall be peace among the harem members now. I am content with this status. I hope I can be a good and just leader as well as a loving sire here.
He was a little disappointed that his queen seemed cool and stiff around him. He doubted she was the romantic type, but he did not know her well. Snofoxx seemed a little more interested, but Lazuli was grateful that the queen seemed to be a good leader for the neutrals. He was happy enough with that for now.

Irezu smiled gently, her expression friendly. She had a feeling that Snofoxx felt intimdated by her and intended on helping the other mare to feel more at ease. The Lady was unbothered as the new member studied her. She kept her stance at ease, her lean-muscled body relaxed.
'It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Snofoxx.' Irezu greeted with a warm smile. 'Welcome to our herd.'
A very small smile appeared and disappeared from Tenga's maw at the way the mare's momentarily lingering gaze upon him. He knew better than to try anything with this new mare Lazuli had claimed. In reality, he had no true interest in mares at the moment; even so, it was nice to be admired by a lovely femme now and then.
'Peace for all is my goal.' Irezu stated softly, her thoughts going to the war that threatened on the horizon.

Thorns pricked and danced intently as the sweet and melodic song of Irezu was sent forth to Snofoxx. The feeling of intimidation left her instantly as the sweet smile lay upon the maw of the lady. As is mine to make your's m'lady. Welcome I feel. Occuli found their way towards Tenga, watching him for her gaze was not liked by him at all. Embaressed her gaze fell towards the emerald earth. The long blades swaying in the slight breeze making their pressance known, but barely. Snofoxx wished it was her, melting into the scenery and foliage.
Her attention was gained once more as the song of Irezu was sang again, but this time it was in a serious tone. Is that not everyones goal? Tell me more if you please, Irezu. What lingers in these lands, I feel it with every step I take upon its soils. Occuli watched her patiently awaiting the answer. [/color][/size]

Irezu was happy to see the other femme's unease slip away. Though she was Lady here, the chestnut had no intention of throwing her title in everyone's face. As always, she intended on looking out for those under her, doing what she could to keep them safe. In that area, it was good to have a stallion now who could take a share in those responsibilities. It would leave her with more time to work on diplomatics if she knew that there was another to take care of defense strategies should diplomacy fail.
'I fear that not all have peace as a goal.' Irezu responded sadly. She thought of Gaara, who seemed to live for the opportunity to shed blood and suppressed sigh. 'Misunderstanding and unwillingness to sympathize have exacerbated problems that arose when Lights first arrived in Opaque, after the Darks had already set up their home here. There was war not so long ago, but for three years an uneasy truce has held. I only hope that it will last.'

She awaited the reply, Irezu seemed deep in thought about something of great importance. She slowly glanced around her new home. It was lush with greenery at the moment, plenty to consume, plenty to drink. These lands where in all plentiful, well sheltered and dense. Slowly she turned her cranium towards the other equines, still feeling out of place slightly. Her gaze fell upon Lazuli, awaiting for him to say anything. This he did not. Her cranium was turned back towards Irezu, for she had began to explain why she got the feeling that she did in these lands, for these lands where not of purity and peace, but of much bloodshed in the past, and perhaps in the future.
Slightly annoyed she tossed her delicatly dished dial, angry tassles of banner flirted with the wind only momentarily, before being pulled back upon her serpentine. Must it always be between the Lights and the Darks?Constantly they are at war it seems to me. They do not understand their actions. An angry spark could be seen in her occuli, her past anger rising to the surface, but quickly cooled with her will. Occuli darted around like a cornered beast, for had they seen her angry rise and fall so quickly? [/size][/color]

Lazuli sighed.
No matter how long the peace lasts, we will work to live it out here and, should it come to that, defend ourselves as a refuge of peace. There will be many decisions ahead, but hopefully we can all live safely here together.
His navy banner began to flick anxiously. He had to tell Snofoxx of his and Irezu's decision.
And speaking of decisions, Snofoxx... Irezu and I have decided on something we wish to inform you of.
He turned to his queen and nuzzled her boa gently, nickering quietly, then whispered to her:
Irezu, m'dear, do you wish to tell or shall I?
His lyrics to her were soft and affectionate.

Irezu nodded quietly in agreement. 'And do what we can to bring a return to peace if at all possible.' she added softly, her gaze distant for a moment with memories.
The chestnut Lady was drawn from her thoughts at a nuzzle to her arched boa. She was startled, but long practice kept her from jumping or giving away her surprise. A soft smile was on her maw, but she answered, 'You may.'
Irezu was not yet ready to use loving endearments. It might come in time, but she was still adjusting to the situation.

Without hesitating, Lazuli nodded.
As lord and lady, we have... decided to bring forth an heir. I wanted to inform you before leaving, so you would know where we were-- but we shouldn't be gone too long.
Lazuli laid off the affections for a while. While still lovestruck with the mare, he sensed her stiffness and realized she must not be used to the sudden chance. He whispered a very discreet apology in her aud and stepped away, awaiting Snofoxx's reaction.

Nares flared slightly at his statement, but then calmed, for this was the lord and this was the lady. To create a heir was to be expected of them. Still, although she had not been included in the herd long, she felt shot and broken. As if she was not good enough to create the heir of Lazuli. Still she put on a mask of happiness for the pair and nodded slightly, but uttering not a sound. She wanted to scream, fight, lash out and threaten all of the equines that stood before her, but why, for if she had been asked to create the heir of Lazuli, she herself would have declined, for she didn't want to be tied down with a foal, she wanted to explore and see things new and unexplainable.
She watched Lazuli watching her, scanning her for the reaction, one from a mare that could be so unpredictable, she herself was amazed at her civil reaction. Nodding her cranium once more she lowered her dial to crop the sweet blades of emerald that lay as a carpet on the earth. Her fetlock cascading before her eyes to hide the hurt that could have been seen [/color][/size]

Lazuli, despite his elation over his queen's acceptance of his proposal, was instantly downed. His newest mare didn't seem to share in his excitement. He stepped closer to her.
What's wrong, Snofoxx? It does you no good to hide it.
He nuzzled her wither gently.
Irezu and I thought that you might want to spend some more time exploring the lands before I bothered you with duties. Was I... wrong?
His voice was soft so that only Snofoxx could hear. Sharing his honest thoughts was difficult, and could easily be made awkward if more than the intended audience heard him.
