Castaneis almost frowned at the sudden mention of his mother, he began to stutter slightly before he could even answer him, perhaps he could still save himself in this moment, maybe his new friend would just assume he was lost and scared "Yes she left me while I was sleeping, I've no clue where to go, I would love to return with you" His lies only seem to deepen, the only thruth within was him wanting to visit this new kingdom that he had no idea about.
The young colt still listens closely as Corban describes the home he lives in "It sounds nice" he mentions with a smile, taking a playful stance with a smile as he regained confidence in his words. Soon after Corban had asked him if he had any questions, the small colt began shaking his head upon hearing the question "Not for now at least" his words were slanted and slightly unsure, he was extremely far away from his mother at this point, and now there was no going back.
The stallion was compltely commited to his quest, his small eyes peering over toward the dark forest, his frail body scurrying closer to his new friend "We should probably get moving soon, right?" even in his declaration there was still question, he still hoped his new companion would simply glance over his insecurity, merely assuming he was just a lost lamb looking for its mother.
