Sreva smiled at one of Chemdog's names for her, reaching out with her muzzle as the stallion brushed her shoulder with his own. Nickering affectionately to the broad-shouldered stallion, her eyes watched as he also gave Xzavier a nudge, smirking when he gives a light squeal in response to the show of affection.
She did not fail to notice that something seemed to be troubling the stallion, but did not have the chance to say anything. Chemdog started going on about his job here and what he had been assigned to do once he discovered this place, the Hyaline kingdom. Sreva didn't recognize the name 'Amet', but considering that she hardly knew a thing about Hyaline to begin with, the fact didn't trouble her much. She might get to know him later on, to ask if there was anything she could do to help here, along with her son once he got old enough of course.
Because, if Sreva already knew something about her colt, he'd be all-too willing to help once he was older. Chemdog said a few more words about Amet and how Sreva could contribute here, which she was happy to hear about. She didn't want to be a dead weight here; as it was, she'd feel enough like one while raising her colt. She was sure she could handle some stuff but she had no doubt that a mare with a colt at her side might be viewed as a hinderance because she would always be concerned about him and want him nearby until he was older.
So, Sreva made the decision to meet with Amet, not only to ask for some information about this kingdom but to also offer her help with anything around here so she could be of use.
Chemdog made a joke about his exhibitions to the field which had Sreva laughing but also left her slightly jealous since it meant he'd be paying attention to other mares. It was the way of the wild though; Sreva had never met a stallion, not yet at least, who had committed to only one life-time partner. Or, at the very least, stuck to one mare permanently despite siring foals with other mares he met in passing.
A light morning breeze brushed through Sreva's mane, pushing her forelock out of her left eye and over her right instead. Ever since her mane had grown out more, Sreva not thinking much of it, she had a bigger problem keeping it out of her eyes. She'd seen her reflection a few times and might not know it but she was a rather pretty looking mare now that her mane was longer.
Chemdog made another comment, this time about the approaching winter season. Sreva followed the stallion's gaze, knowing full well that he was right. During the two days she'd spent resting with Xzavier, letting him get the strength he needed for this journey, she'd felt the changes in the weather, the chilling breeze that not only signaled autumn but also winter's arrival.
Sreva also felt her winter coat already starting to grow in, and though Xzavier was still young, he was already getting rid of his baby fur and would have a good coat by the time winter rolled around. It wouldn't be as thick as an adult's, but it would be enough to protect him. And, of course, he'd have his dam and sire to help keep him warm if anything.
The trio stared into the horizon for a few moments before Chemdog spoke once more, a claim that Sreva couldn't be more happy to agree with.
"I'm glad that we are here too, finally. It seems like a great place to call home, and it will provide the space Xzavier needs to grow," she told Chemdog as she nuzzled the stallion's neck, glad to be here as well, because not only would it provide a good home for them but also a safe place for Xzavier to grow up in. As if reading her thoughts, Xzavier squealed again and lifted his tiny muzzle to search for his dam's. Sreva lowered her head, nuzzling her son, chuckling as he nibbled on her chin in a gentle manner, obviously trying to get her to play again.
Chemdog nosed his son to encourage him to go along as the stallion thundered toward the crystalline lake Sreva spotted on the cliffside not too far from them. Xzavier let out a shrill whinny, only sounding so because he was still so young. He reared up and thrashed out with his gangly legs before taking off at a gallop after his sire, trying to catch up to the much larger horse.
Sreva smiled at the display between father and son before she started following after them, keeping a meager trotting pace since she was in no hurry to catch up fast. She could see Xzavier fine from here, and he was under his sire's watchful eye. If anything happened, he'd be there, Sreva right on his heels. But she couldn't be a helicopter parent; she needed to give Xzavier his freedom, and that would start right now since she was letting him go so far from her side.
But, again, she could see him fine, so Sreva settled down and followed after the colt and the stallion, chuckling every time Xzavier whinnied for his father to slow down so he could catch up to him to play.
