Though Thunder opened his mouth to speak an answer, his brother cut in and the colt was silenced in respect as his brother explained in a gruff tone.

"We are busy training, young miss. We haven't time for socail affairs."

Thunder sighed softly, knowing what this was going to lead to and he waited patiently for his brother's commands to come.

With a snort, Thor turned to his younger brother, tossing his head.

"Now, you must continue your training today. The sun has risen and it is well past your time to start training."

Bitterness swelled inside Nara as the older stag spoke to her. He acted like she wasn't even worth talking to, and there was no way she was letting him off the hook for that. It didn't matter to her if it was Thunder's "training time." Even though Thor's words We are busy training, young miss., were polite enough, his tone irritated Nara. Loudly, the bella blew out hot air in a snort.

"Training for what? The sky to fall?" Her voice was a mocking growl as it escaped her vocal cords. She took a step toward the two, trying to seem even the least bit threatening, but her nerves kept her in check. However, her hot temper exploded. "Besides, we have have free will. Or do you think you can control others as if they were puppets?" In her mind, she knew she should stop and just leave the two brothers be, but she couldn't. When you made Nara angry, she stayed angry. A couple more steps were taken, but this time she didn't even try to be threatening. Her movements were controlled by the temper of rage that was slowly becoming a flame.

Thunder’s eyes widened in surprise at the fillies words and he quickly flashed a glance to his brother, fearing the worst and he was right. In Thor’s eyes, he could see pure anger burning from the lack of respect. He had always known respect and always respected those who respected him. Thunder knew this very well, and he also knew that Thor wasn’t gonna let her go easily if she kept it up…

The stallion snorted at her words, clear anger sounding from it. As she took a few steps forward, so did the mighty stallion, slamming his hoof down in a warning. Thunder looked to Nara and shook his head subtly in warning that she just let it go.

“Though the training is none of your business, we are training to be ready for when Alasdi may need us for war or battle. As a herd, there must be those who are ready to stand at the front lines and protect their home. You as a so-called ‘Darksun’ should know that. And my brother’s and my business is none of yours, so you let it be.” Cranium turned to Thunder, “Come along, Thunder.”

Thunder nodded his head as his brother walked past him.

“Coming, Thor.” Eyes were drawn back to Nara, the first sight of actual kindness showing in them. “It’s alright Nara. I don’t mind. One day, my brother’s not going to be there for me… and he just wants to make sure I’ll be ready to be on my own. I understand that and respect it.”

Thunder nickered in good-bye to her and, after a graceful bow of his head, trotted after his brother. Thor took off into a collected canter and Thunder followed, the stallion and colt off to train. Two brothers of the Darksun.
