The sound of a horse galloping and neighing came from the West. If anyone bothered to turn, they would have seen a relatively large brown stallion, with a singular rider in the back. The rider called out, spurring the horse forward, until they reached the entire group. Unhorsing, he patted the horse on the nose, and it neighed once and turned, running off in the opposite direction. Tanner, the one riding the horse, went up to the group of people currently arguing about something.

"And that's why you don't chase any Black Mares," he said, slowly moving forward, looking at the floor, hands in his duster pockets, "Y'all should have known that by now, especially ya bigwigs in the trailers over yonder." Looking back up, Tanner nodded a greeting to everyone he passed, going straight to Thompson and stopping in front of her, tipping an imaginary hat.

"Ma'am." he said, before sighing, "Sorry about the sudden reappearance. Been following all y'all for a while. Listen, I'm the one who actually brought the Black Mare's existence to light. Tons of them lived 'round my home parts. I pride myself on bein' an expert, no offense to anyone else, and I ain't trying to make myself sound big and scary. And Ma'am, lemme ask ya somethin'." Tanner turned, looking at the distance.

"I saw you kill the Matriarch. That was good on your part. But something y'all didn't catch on." Tanner looked at everyone around, then back to Thompson.

"They're a Patriarchal species. Daddy's somewhere around here, and he's gon' be mighty pissed once he finds you smoked his family."

Cowboy, you know from whence it comes?

''Aye, Knight. Hopefully these guys will be ready.''

"You thought a Matriarch was big? The Stallion is bigger. Well, Patriarch if you wanna call it that. But they're just like normal horses, give or take a bit of deadliness and size. I just hope y'all are up for it, and if y'all are? The best place to shoot a tranq is the area where the back right leg connects to the body. Best bet from bringing it down quickly."
