The mare's goal, unknown to Nalia, soon arrived in the form of Breckin, Nerine's queen. The leopard spotted mare came up to the filly and the bay mare, offering Nalia praise for her willingness to help the bay mare. The filly nodded, appreciating Breckin's kind words, as the queen offered the bay mare the opportunity to find someplace secluded and private.
The bay mare thanked Breckin for her kindness, though Nalia thought something was off-putting about her smile. It didn't seem sincere, something Nalia knew from forced quite well. She'd seen the look many times on the stallion's face, the one who had taken over her dam's herd. He'd charmed all of the mares to take his side, even though they hadn't done so when he fought the leader. Nalia remembered her own dam cursing her foolishness for falling for such charming words, when she should've been happy and focused on raising her filly.
Those thoughts put aside, Nalia jumped to the mare's aid again, hoping Breckin wouldn't mind this. She stepped a little closer to the bay mare, "In that case, I know of a small grotto not far from here, and it's within easy reach of the main meadow where everyone gathers for meetings. You'll have plenty of privacy. Would you like me to take you there?" Nalia was already stepping backwards in the direction of the grotto, eager to start their journey there so the mare could have a quiet place to rest.
