Looking at the mount of him being enraged, I didn't think that it was acting that way because it was intelligent. It probably was just hungry, in her mind carnivores were nothing but beasts that wanted  to eat others and  weren't smart at all. The plant eaters were the one that was smart in her eyes. Her mount backed up as the beast got enraged, it was almost like Ruggers was smarter in her in a way.  I mean, she expected him to believe that  she was looking for lawn which was ridiculous for anyone to believe.<br/>"OK, I am not here  for lawn...but I don't want to tell you why I am here."<br/>She felt foolish to be caught by him, really it wasn't smart on her people's part to send her and not someone that was better at sneaking around. She should of left once she saw him. Yet, something about him intrigued her. He  was not what she thought of when she thought of the Riders of the Dawn. She always thought they were stupid, foolish, and would attack anyone on sight. He hadn't done that. She can't help but wonder why that was.
