Skylar does not allow the dark mare out of her sights until she has decided to turn and leave them. Silence falls over them to sharpen even the slightest sound and as the roan girl glances back to her friend she sees nothing but tension under her grullo coat. Skylar wished she could say something, anything to help loosen her friend’s tight muscles and to relax as this was not a time to be straining herself after such an exhausting event of childbirth. Giving a soft smile in return to Mouse’s it is then that Skylar feels the warm soft touch of Osprey.


Turning her head to look back at the painted foal she can’t help but smile as the foal wrinkles her nose. It does not offend Skylar, she knows that compared to Mouse she must smell quite foreign. But now that the danger has passed she does not want to keep Osprey from Mouse nor stand in between the two in such a crucial bonding time after birth. So she gently turns her body to face away and give Osprey more room to go to Mouse or Mouse to approach her daughter but kept the filly between herself and Mouse for protection of the child.


Words reaching her ears, Skylar turns her gaze back to Mouse. The smile again returns to her dark lips as she is naïve of what Mouse’s friend has done. It warms her and excites her to think that Mouse wishes for her to stay. They had talked of it while traveling to the Falls but Skylar had never really given more than just talk to it. Now it seemed more and more a reality to come true.


“I don’t want to intrude or pester you too much with my company, Mouse. “


A shy smile then brushes across her lips as she ducks her head a bit and looks to her hooves causing a few strands of hair fell over her eyes.


“I was thinking about seeing if I could find any other Peak mares that are friendly. Maybe making this my home?”


Skylar knows it is not Mouse’s decision upon allowing Skylar to stay but in truth it is her friend’s approval that she seeks. Raising her eyes to look upon the face of her grullo friend she waits to see what she will say of the proposal.
