Scarecrow does not miss the tense way that Libra regards Cain. It is not surprising, considering the way she had studiously avoided the painted stallion during her stay here. He was certain the tobiano had not done anything to her since she had arrived, but there was no denying that Cain had a darker past. The stallion had freely admitted as such on the first day Crow had met him. The newborn at her hip likely exacerbated this concern, but he does make a mental note to ask about it later. If it was something he needed to be concerned about, he wanted to know. Cain had not done anything untoward the Crow during his stay, but the dunalino was not omniscent.

Libra soon brings him back to earth and he brings his thoughts firmly back to the star of the show. Aries was a darker shade than his mother but sported a spotting pattern that he could only have inherited from her. Seeing them together filled him with a strange sense of nostalgia and pride, and he could not wait to see them all grow together.

The way his own name rolls from Libra's lips is a balm to him, and it broadens the proud smile that he wore. The tiny foal views him with apprehension, which is not surprising considering that he is a stranger to him still, and a large one at that. From the colt's perspective, this pale giant of a male must have come in and interrupted his meal, then went and stuck his nose in his face. It was fair of him to not be overjoyed. Crow chuckles, unperturbed, but turns his attention to Libra once more, listening eagerly to her explanation of their son's name.

Aries. It fit the fierce little colt, and he nodded in approval. "He already seems like quite the strong little fellow, and we'll have plenty of time to get to know one another, don't fret."

"With a mother like you, he's bound for greatness." He offers a genuine smile to Libra, not wanting her to worry. Scarecrow was not the slightest bit offended and wanted to leave her with the reassurance that he was not going anywhere. He would continue to protect his little family for as long as they would have him. "Will Scorpio be coming for a visit soon?"

OOC: I figured they would have at least talked about Scorpio before, to where knows who she is at least? If not I can edit, no worries! <3 Also my bad this took forever!
