Anahi smiled at Rhy's friendly welcome before listening to the rest of what she had to say. For some reason, Anahi found it appealing that the Jungle was known for strong mares, but still thought it was a bit unfair that the stallions there only served the kingdom.
Anahi supposed it was due to her upbringing; she'd left her home herd, yes, but in all herds she'd seen, it was the one nature was most accustomed to in other lands. A stallion led the herd, followed by a favorite mare to get them out of danger while the stallion kept said danger at bay, and the other mares existed to carry the future generations for the stallion.
Granted, Anahi didn't find being thought of as a breeding factory all that favorable either, but at the same time... oh who was she kidding, she was so conflicted about this. Knowing stallions in the Jungle could choose that life soothed her; at least they weren't being forced to stay. And perhaps, maybe, while she was there, she could find a single stallion to love, rather than having to live in a herd with one stallion and being treated as nothing more than a prize to him.
Not knowing why she truly meant the words that next came out of her mouth, Anahi turned to face Rhy, "I'm not sure how I feel about the Jungle one hundred percent yet... but, perhaps if I saw it, if I could see how things there are, I could tell for certain how I truly feel. Do... do you think I could journey there, to see what it's like?"
