Acorn's ears turned backwards as she relaxed. It was almost like two herd mates gossiping, except for the fact that Acorn was from the Hills. Perhaps she could convince Ivan to try and be the second at the forest. But she still had yet to explore Salem, which she would finish as soon as she got back home. This time she wasn't going to run out on Fayte. No. They would have a real conversation. She grinned lightly, hoping the heat which was stirring to her face wouldn't show. It would be very embarrassing for her if that happened. But Acorn answered, still as happy as a lark. "I hope so. In fact, I really hope that it'll be a colt." She said, one ear flicking to the sound of a twig snapping. "Would you like a filly or a colt?"

Acorn really wanted a colt, so that she could teach him how to act and everything! She still felt terrible for leaving Blaze in the dust, but hopefully everything would turn out all right. Well, she actually left Blaze down on the ocean floor, but same thing. Resting her hind hoof lightly on the forest floor, her grin flowed into a smile. "I can't believe he only brought one mare. There must be plenty others here! Have you made any friends with them?" She wondered why Fayte didn't respond to her last question, but perhaps it was for the best. Besides, she didn't want him getting any ideas and all, since it was breeding season. But she would take her little colt right over to Fayte when he was ready. The chestnut mare was sure her friend would love to meet her little bundle of joy.
