Krom had turned back towards the cage. Leaving Kwartz and Karat to make their escape. He didn't know the extent of his powers but he was sure they wouldn't last long if he had left too. He needed to give Karat time to get away or hide. Needed to give Kwartz enough time to get help. He doesn't know, that as he returned to his post, Kwartz had remained by Karats' side and soon their parents would find them...
His focus turned to the dark figure grinning within it's makeshift cell. Emerald eyes narrowed as the creature began to spit lies at him. He didn't interrupt though, not yet. He had better manners then that. The child abducter went on to call his mother grotesque names. Anger began to boil inside him and when the stallion was about finish he shouted, "ENOUGH!" His right fore hoof stomped into the earth as his ears pinned. "You are a LIAR! You lied about us coming here and you are lying about my family. They love me," he snorts at the end of his rant.
A commotion draws his attention from the cage and to the direction his sister and Kwartz had traveled. He could hear voices. Concerned words and slightly angry tones. Where's Krom... He faintly heard in his father's baritone voice. Immediately his ears perked. "DAD!" He shouts happily. All thoughts of the creature trapped had disappeared, and with it his iron pillars. But that was behind him as he had lunged forwards already into a steady gallop. Quickly finding Karat, Kwartz, Aunt Sabra and his Dad grouped together. Karat and Kwartz were being examined and interrogated. Even his mother was present.
His forward motion only stopped when he collided into his father's chest. Sliding underneath his neck for security. His father is quick to ask what happened and presses for details. He gives a summarized version, Morty was probably gone by now anyhow. A puzzled look befalls his face as "what happened to you?" also meant, "why are you metallic?" Krom doesn't pay it any mind. His emerald muzzle reached for his sister, "Karat...Are you ok?" His concern was always first for his sister.
Karat turns to her brother and limps closer to him. Embracing him with her neck, "I'll be fine Krommie." A slight smile creases across her lavender lips as she rests her head across his back. Leaning on to him for support. The grown up were busy bantering over the situation and she nearly drowns them out. All she wanted to do was go home...
Krom allows her to lean into him. His eyes find Kwartz shooken up and extends his muzzle to him as well, "Kwartz... Thank you." It's all he says and he hopes Kwartz knows for what he is thanking him for. A gentle smile is given to Kwartz before he turns to their mother, "Momma... Can we go home now?"
