As was to be expected, Cain did not keep them waiting long, and soon settles at Scarecrows side. It was a strange moment for the lean stallion, to be stood side by side with the tobiano stallion. From the moment he had joined Cain in the Desert he had been treated with nothing but respect, and even now, he does not identify himself as above Crow, even though it is in his rights to do so.

The respect he has for his companion grows, and a small smile lurks upon his lips, even as he turns from Cain back to the lean stallion before them. Crow acknowledges his introduction with an inclination of his head, but stays quiet to listen to what he has to say. There is much to read between the lines of the stallion's speech, from the formal way he phrases his greeting to the way he is careful to spend an equal amont of time looking at both of them.

Crow looks to Cain first, after the stallion introduces himself, to allow the tobiano to speak first if he so wishes, before introducing himself as well. It is a small gesture, but it will hopefully assist Maslakhat in determining the hierarchy as well as reassuring Cain of his intentions. "A pleasure, Maslakhat. My name is Scarecrow."

Perhaps in retrospect he should have waited to approach, to ascertain if Cain had it handled, but he couldn't undo what he had done, and resolved to listen to the lean stallion's request. He mentions a missing mare, and a genuine frown twists across his lips. He had not heard of a mare named Sharaat, but there were many on Salem that he did not know. His time had largely been preoccupied with patrols and his family, leaving the care of the main herd to Cain's capable hands.

"I apologize, but I have not heard of such a creature." The second part of the bay stallion's comment sends a cloud across his face at the thought of Zubeia, Geneva, and their foals. It was not, however, for him to speak of such things and so he does not, turning his gaze back to Cain.
