Thanata took note of various other horses arriving at the scene, including two painted twins that called out to Offspring. She had to admit, she was surprised to find that he was their sire, but at the same time, not so much. Offspring had been around for a while; he was a proud stallion, one that no doubt had attracted the attention of many mares over the years.
For some reason, Thanata felt a bit of jealousy boil within her belly. Why was that happening? She did not hold feelings for Offspring beyond the rare one of friendship. So why did the thought of other mares being around him bother her?
She offered him a sympathetic smile when Offspring said that while Isle had not yet made an appearance, he expressed confidence that they would eventually find each other. Thanata nodded, showing she agreed, "I know she will Offspring. Hold strong to your faith, as will I; she won't be gone for much longer."
When more horses arrived, including Romek and Josie, Offspring spoke again, a proud tone in his voice. He said that he would go to pursue alliances with Eight, Topsail, Killdare, and Malis, all horses that Thanata did not know personally but who she had heard of. While out in the Field, she'd once run into a chocolate flaxen mare who had identified herself as Iona, a resident of the Chamber. She'd told Thanata a bit about her two rulers, though from Iona's state of mind, Thanata had to wonder if everything she said was true.
Thanata stepped forward, dipping her head to the ex-king, "You may not call yourself a king anymore Offspring, but as a loyal subject and a friend, I will still support you in your seeking of these alliances. I know that right decisions will be made in confidence that we can all support each other during these trying times," the mare stated, a confident look in her eye, something that she had not shown since the days before the herd stallion wounded her.
OOC: Thanata is all for the alliances.
