"My Pop wasn't so keen on letting the bloodline get thin. Him and my Ma were actually cousins. Betrothed from a young age. It was my Ma who put her foot down when my Pop suggested they do the same with me."
He couldn't really imagine marrying his own cousin. They were more like siblings than anything else so it would just be awkward. He wanted the freedom to choose those who would carry his foals.
"... I can't change everything about our traditions but seeing is it's my turn, I'll be sure to make a few changes."

Ruemira thought back to her parents. She would have gladly had two cousins for parents instead of her fire father and water mother. "I can't imagine what that would be like..." She said carefully. She didn't want to offend him. "Oh! You're the lead wind?!" She asked surprised. She hadn't ever met a lead.

Nodding he retrned her sudden outburst with a charming smile. It was wierd having someone else say that to him like he was someone really special or mportant which he was really but it still felt alien to him.
"That would be right. Only recently became it though, It's not a title you can just take like that. As you can imagine I have quite a reputation now I have to uphold so I'm sorry if I offend you in any way by saying anything."

"Offending me like how? There is nothing more offensive than being called a filthy muddle by your own father......" Ruemira paused. "No. I don't suppose I could be anymore offended than I already have been." She smiled "Either way I don't see how it would offend me. I know you're very important."

"Heheh, it still sound wierd. I don't think you're filthy at all, quit ethe opposite actually. Your father was a fool to tell you otherwise." He nickered softly back to her. She was the first he had met here so she was more like a friend than anyone else he had met. It was good to give someone lik her a friend here was well. What?! What was he thinking?! This was going totally against the laws but who was he to tell her to go away?
It would be OK as long as nobody knew.

"Thanks." Ruemira said sheepishly. "I've never been complimented before." She smiled. She felt odd. Maybe she was sad that they couldn't meet in one herd. Maybe she was sad because she felt bad that she could damage his reputation. Either way she felt sad. "What....what's it like being able to walk around freely? I mean being free to walk around wherever you please."

"I can't answer that because I don't know any different." He replied rather sadly, he was not sad for himself but he was sad for her having such a poor quality of life simply because she had some fire blood in her. He wasn't bothered about her at all, she was far more interesting than the flasy pure horses with their boring traits that make them all the same. Roll the dice and see what you get, that was a bit like a muddle.
"If yu want I can come down here some more... If you want me too that is, if you think it will be fine then I'll leave it. It'snice having someone like me not because of my blood."

"My mother always told me not to stray too far away. I can't be around other horses because my eyes and coat are a dead giveaway that I'm a muddle. If a fire catches me....." Ruemira didn't even want to think of it. "Yes do come down here and visit. I like having someone to talk to!"

“That’s nice to know, I at least have someone to talk to now.” Thinking on what she had just said to him he couldn’t help but smile on the inside in a weird sort of way. She almost fooled him when he first met her but others must have paid more attention than the silver stallion. He only had his wits to guess by.
“If you were in MY herd you could do what you wanted to do. Free country is it not? Well I guess some rules have to be obeyed but still… you want to stray then stray. It would be hard not to notice which linage I’m from with my oh-so-typical coloring, eh? I’m not worried about it. Besides, who could kill such a pretty filly?” He chuckled a bit at the end of the sentence making it unclear whether he was lying or not but his intentions were pure.
