Njenyi understands her worry - his family has gone too. His family is the herd of the Gemstone Ridge though, not the horses she is worried for, and he wants to find them as desperately as she wants to find her won. He cannot keep them safe if he does not know where they are, and the idea of them alone and helpless is not one that he enjoys.
Sirana is right in that he wants to keep them within eyesight, but it is not possessiveness that drives him, but protectiveness. He cannot keep them safe if he cannot see them.
"No..." he says hesitantly, the difficulty of the decision apparent in his face. What if something were to happen to them if they split up? How would he know? He is distracted by Zaravich's question. "Nine," he replies, "Three having foals." Those are the ones he is most worried for. Alone? Heavily pregnant or with a new foal? What might befall them?
"What kingdom?" He asks Sirana suddenly, his dark eyes focused. "My father had kingdom here. Falls."
