September followed after him, not quite able to match his stride one for one, so he instead trotted alongside him. "Dangerous sounds fun. I like danger!" He snorted and tossed his head up. "Nothing like some adrenaline to really feel alive!" And that had surely been lacking of late. If this wildfire could happen, then maybe he'd finally get to feel his blood really start to boil and run hot! It had sort of turned from a "offer to help Arsu because he was nice" to a more selfish "im excited about this and I want it to happen now". But still, the heart and intention were there.

He shrugged and looked at Arsu, a slightly mischievous glint in his eye. "I don't know if I've given the idea up. I think I'd like to see it first before saying that's for the best but...if it's anything like Canis, you think anything but that would get rid of it all? Besides, plants grow back." Gembound could be evacuated, plants can be regrown. To him, it seemed like a good plan. Things could go wrong, sure, but if they had power enough on their side, he was sure they'd be able to get it done!

He saw the throne as soon as Arsu turned a bit to make his way towards it. His head raised, trying to get a better view. "That's the Throne? I don't see Pride sitting on it."

September frowned and grumbled to himself, something about "well we could get them all out first" or "trees grow back", too distorted to be understood - a child ranting to himself. But he swallowed his pride (heh) for now and decided to be a little more smart about this, if his father was really as wise and mildly intimidating as he was making it seem. "Okay, fiiine. I still haven't given it up, though."

He looked up and stared at the throne, tilting his head. "What's the point of a slumbering king? If he's not there to lead that kind of defeats the purpose, right?" But he shut his mouth then, in case Pride was nearby. He eyed the bones, wondering what unfortunate creature had gotten themselves in that position.

September let it drop, not oblivious to Arsu's shift in attitude. If he didn't want to start a fire, fine, but it was still something September was thinking about - a lot. He'd have to go to Eridanus after this, check it out and see if he was thinking reasonably or...if he was just straight up insane.

He didn't understand how kingdom's worked at all. If there was no king, was it even a kingdom? And even if the king was gone, wouldn't the person in charge just be called the king? Was it a for life kinda title? Or was the king really that selfish that he'd refuse to let anyone have his title while he slept? September snorted again. "Well that just sounds like Pride's the temporary king or something. Don't know why it has to be a steward or whatever. If he's been gone so long, then damn just call yourself the king and be done with it."

He dropped that matter too when Pride appeared, eyes staring at the shimmering wings and the regal, snow white appearance. He glanced between him and Arsu for a moment and smirked. Without really thinking, he murmured, "Yeah that's definitely your dad." They were practically identical, save for Arsu's slight shape differences.

The calf stood taller in Pride's presence, trying to look very grown up and tall and proud himself. "Hello, Pride. I'm September." Was that enough for an introduction? He glanced towards Arsu and then back. He'd been planning on letting him kinda lead this conversation at the beginning, but that didn't seem like much to start with. "Uh. Nice wings."

He waited while Arsu started it off, nodding along with his words. A good introduction while he put together his own little speech to tell to Pride. How to introduce his idea without saying wildfire but also slipping it in. He wasn't sure why he was so set on the fire idea at this point - perhaps because it was all he really knew how to do, but it just seemed like it would be a legitimately good option.

Anyways, Pride was turning to him now. He nodded, looking very formal under both gazes. "Yeah. He was like a navy blue with yellow streaks, stood on two legs. Long tail. He had these big batty wings too, could fly with them. Also long yellow hair on his head and antlers a lot like yours. Also," he leaned in a bit, looking closely at Pride's neck. "Actually, his gem was placed a lot like yours, except it was purple." He leaned back. "I'm fine, he just scratched me. But his scratch messed with my head - he said it was venom. It made me feel real dizzy and weak and like I was super duper happy and complacent. But I don't really fuck with being forced to feel like that? So it was kind of terrifying. Took me like a good couple of hours coming down from it. He just kinda left me there when I tried to fight back." He stamped his hooves on the ground in a sudden small burst of angered energy. "Told him he was gonna pay for that, and he will! So I hope he's not one of yours." But also I do, he thought, additionally, because wouldn't it be really funny if Pride just punished him instead? Or they both punished him?

With that out of the way, he calmed and shook out his still-growing-in mane. "Anyways, I think we should do something about Eridanus. Arsu was telling me about it - I hatched in Canis so I saw the same kinda white crap everywhere. But Eridanus has greenery and food and lessers and its a shame that its so...impossible to live in. Soooo, I suggested using fire to burn it away and then people - like Arsu - that can regrow can do that. And he said you know some people so we could organize like a group effort."
