The mare was grateful to the stallion, for relieving the discomfort brought on by her probing question. After his short but thorough explanation, he lowered his large head closer to her. She presumed it was to get a closer look at the impressive horns that he sported, and she took the opportunity, grateful to him for dropping his head more to her level. If he hadn't, she knew she could never see above, or even on top of his head, due to his massive height. After examining them closely, she nodded slightly, giving him the cue that he could raise his head once more. The army huh? That made sense considering his powerful size and bulk.
His eyes roamed over her slight frame, lingering slightly on her her scars before continuing their perusal. She grinned slightly, surprising herself with how well she received and even embraced the attention. She shrugged at his sincere answer about her inquiry concerning the other horse. Albeit the other stallion was acting strangely, he didn't seem to pose a threat to either of them. He didn't make her nervous, exactly, simply...cautious. But, then again what didn't make her cautious these days. She was always looking over her shoulder, waiting to hear the pounding footsteps and hoofbeats racing after her.
He had been kind and understanding through all of her questions and inquires, so she answered his question almost as soon as he finished his sentence. "I have never lived in, nor heard of these kingdoms. I suppose I was part of a herd, of sorts. My dam was what you might call a tame horse. I was born into that life, but I...well I just couldn't be what they wanted." She mumbled the last part and followed it with a soft sigh. "I am interested in a new home. Please, tell me more about yours."
