Teme Lupus is by Alaine!
Having thoughts weighing him down was dreary and Temeraire tried his hardest to push things from his mind. It was probably a very bad coping mechanism- he came across as indifferent to most changes because he didn't want to deal with the thoughts. He had little opinion of Lilin aside from indifference and since finding out he was to have younger siblings, he hadn't thought hard about it and this certainly came across as not being bothered. He was, in fact, quite excited to have siblings- especially since Ezra and Elias' departure. He remembered the last time they'd gone, how he hadn't spoken to his father or Lilin for a week because he'd thought it was their fault. He understood now that it wasn't- the pair had left anyway. With a grunt, he made to splash the filly back, dipping down to swing his hand across the surface and splash the dun filly.
A voice from behind him startled him for a moment, but he couldn't help thinking he was glad he had company. Hex was a horse and couldn't talk to him, though he found simple pleasure in walking with her, subtly training her. He turned, taking in the sight of the larger red male with a flicker of his eyes before he looked back up at the males face. He felt the naturally toothy grin pull up his lip as he made to step out of the water. Hex followed, trotting forward to nudge his backside once. With a laugh, he lay his arm around the filly's neck, squeezing once before he got out of the water.
Hey! I'm Temeraire, this is Helexia... or Hex. He introduced them both, releasing the struggling horse who didn't like being held in a headlock often. Stormbringer blue eyes looked up towards the male, who was several inches taller than him and much more board, wondering who this might be.
