Somewhat alert still even though half asleep she didn't hear the other equine at first, at least not consciously, although her flicking ear told of another story, one where her subconscious have heard the voice on the breeze, her psyche either didn't reconized the danger or maybe a part of subconscious was reconizing, from the strange mares posture or calming voice tone, that she wasn't a danger to her new born.
And so she stays half asleep right up until the mare speaks for a second time.
Heading shooting up so quickly she could have given herself whiplash from the move, she let's out an anxious snort, shaking her head to clear the last of exhaustion from her mind, adrenaline taking its place instantaneously as she scans her surroundings for whoever spoke.
As her eyes locked with the unfamiliar palomino mare she takes a single step forward, placing herself protectively in front of the black and white fluffy bundle on the floor, the newborn still deep in sleep, oblivious to her mother's concerns of safety.
"I suppose it is" she replied slowly, weariness etched into every word. She'd traveled a long way from where her demons lie but that didn't mean she was safe here, it could all be an illusion designed her trick her into carefree submission. Cynical? Definately. But with motherly instincts racing through her system the only thing that mattered in her current world was protecting her child.
