Rhadra thanked him and he gave a soft smile in return, a gentle whicker falling from his lips as he watched her relax. "You are always welcome." He replied. When he told her about the other mountains, she said that it was daunting, telling him how comforting she found it to have the mountains standing tall over her. He looked around with a soft snort before nodding his head. "I can understand the appeal in that. The mountains do make for a feeling of security while also offering beauty to look at." His gaze fell to the filly as he spoke of beauty, looking over her fragile form and that of her pretty mother. He couldn't be more glad that he'd gotten the chance to meet Rhadra while he was here. When she asked about Shenzi, he cringed a little but tried not to show it, a lone ear flicking back before he sighed and responded.

"No, not since I first came here. As soon as I'm free, I plan to go to the Cove and ask about her since that's the last place I know she was sent. Hopefully she'll still be there or someone will know where to find her." Hope still brimmed in his eyes at the thought of seeing the mare again. He just needed to know that she was okay and happy where she was. He hated that she never got to know what happened to him when he swam across to Luthien for the battle. She never got to know he met her frend, Kendry, or that he'd turned an enemy into an ally on that battlefield all because he spoke her name. She should feel special. As Rhadra paid some attention to her daughter, Collision gave them some privacy and looked out across the herdlands, ears swiveling as he listened for the sounds of other mares or even other Lagoon stallions who might still be around.

Next, he asked how long he would stay and his body tensed for a moment before he glanced back down at her. He spoke calmly, knowing it wasn't her fault that he was captive here. He could never blame Rhadra. She had been nothing but kind to him so he would treat her the same. "I don't know, to be honest. Hopefully not much longer, though I'd like to keep your friendship, if that's okay. I'm trying to see how to regain my freedom and leave here in full cooperation of the Peak but hopefully if I ask, they'll allow me to visit you and Izzy, if you'd be okay with that." He pricked his ears, waiting patiently for her answer since knew she probably wouldn't be overjoyed at the thought of him leaving the Peak. If it weren't for Shenzi, he might be okay to stay here, at least for a little while. But he couldn't stay knowing she was out there somewhere probably wondering why he abandoned her, too.
