The small mare was startled by the reaction of her female counterpart, and she found her own ears beginning to lay back simply because of the tension she felt. The light mare recovered quickly from her apparent anger at being uninterrupted by the buckskin stallion Magnus. The stud seemed to take it in stride and gave some of the distance Celeana had demanded, though not backing off so far as to miss out on any of the conversation.
Celeana pleaded her case, a herd of mares only that was desperately in need of more ladies. It was an interesting concept to Pumpkin Spice; though the mention of being fearless and strong almost made the small mare giggle - for she was by no means fearless, and many surpassed her in strength of body. How do they foal if they have no males? The ginger mare wondered to herself, but was careful to keep such a personal question to herself. The answer was obvious really, they went outside the herd to mate. "A sisterhood you say?" Speaking of her home seemed to make Celeana relax somewhat more; perhaps she wanted the men to know she would not be intimidated. "Is it a nice home you have? What does it look like?" A rather silly set of questions it would seem, but Spice had traveled through a dust bowl of a place once, and it's inhabitants had been proud to call that barren ground home. Sometimes pride could blind one to the fact that it was time to move on to greener pastures.
Spice did like Celeana, she was inclined to trust a fellow of her gender more than a strange stud. But the outburst had been surprising, clearly this pretty lady had a bark , and Spice dreaded to see if she had a bite to match.
Magnus seemed reticent, though not aloof. The more he chose to speak the more charming Spice found him. But his invitation was to open, she knew what Celeana offered, but what could he offer her? How could she broach the subject without seeming to cast Celeana's bid aside? She decided to remain silent and await their answers to Kiano's questions - she knew none of the places or people he mentioned, but she could most certainly learn more if she listened.
Kiano was a complete mystery, he seemed more interested in the others than in her. Perhaps that was a good thing, it was difficult enough knowing she would disappoint one of the two before her. She liked his presence, even if it was for the selfish reason of not making her the centre of attention. The mention of another pony in the area was a pleasant thought, at least she wouldn't be such an oddity, maybe she could come across said fellow bantam horse in the future.
