He could see the confusion in her eyes when he said the word "captives" but over all, she seemed pretty happy, whimsical even. Like her thoughts were miles away. In a way, Collision envied her. Was it because of her pregnancy? The thought warmed him. He hoped someday to feel that for himself. Perhaps not the same as a mare would, but just to have a taste of knowing a piece of himself was coming into this world. It must be such a high. He smiled to himself at the thought. Finally, the mare introduced herself as Rhadra and said she lived here voluntarily. When she laughed, he couldn't help but give a small smirk before a deep chuckle left his lips. He snorted and gave a brief shake of his head before dipping it politely. "And it is a pleasure to meet you, Rhadra, even if you are a volunteer."

His eyes gave a teasing twinkle. When she asked about the Lagoon, he had a moment of surprise. So that's why she didn't draw back. She didn't really know what it was. He gave a small smile, his best try at sheepish before he started. "The Lagoon is a bachelor herd of stallions, unfortunately known for stealing mares and keeping them as 'trinkets' to carry foals for the bachelors during breeding season. I believe the Peak was opposed to this way of life so in opposition, they challenged and when the Lagoon's champion lost, they were able to take the bachelors as 'trinkets' themselves for a prize. Something along those lines." He said with a small shrug of his shoulders. He didn't understand most of the political views of it since he stayed out of that for the most part.

Trying to shift subjects, he shook his head before looking back to Rhadra. "So, Rhadra, how long have you been here? What do you do for fun?"
