He leads her to a tree and she is struck by the sense of power that flows through the ground around it, like the massive roots that must branch out underneath; he bumps against her occasionally but she doesn't mind, for she is too focused on the great, branching monster that her eyes cannot be torn away from. She is finding that she enjoys his company enough, for it has been some time since she has been around someone else, and she feels no judgment from his milky eyes. She tunes in a bit belatedly to his voice and dips her crown towards his, tail swishing around her ankles.
"It was the home offered to me and so I took it." Her reply is simple and without fluff, eyes focused on the tree before her. She feels no urge to turn her head to look at the other, for he cannot see her and thus her gaze is of no use to him, so she remains enamored by the structure before her. "It suits me, truly, and although I have seen very little I already feel my roots settling into this beating ground." She glances at him, although she knows it is futile, and lets her muzzle bump lightly against his firm cheek.
He nibbles her withers and her instinct is to squeal so she does, but merely in surprise. She does not move to kick him, to bite him, but her ears flatten back briefly in an attempt to warn him - again, even though he cannot see her expression - and flick back up again. She does not mind the scrape of his teeth for it simply quelled an itch she had, and she lets her tail flick across his hind legs. The newness of spring finds her more relaxed, more agreeable than normal, and she knows it will not last long, but she enjoys the calmness it brings her for the moment.
