Rhadra's words were encouraging and Collision took courage from them. He sighed. "Thank you. I hope I do, too." He pawed the gorund softly as he looked down, wondering if Shenzi would, in fact, be happy to see him. Would she think he abandoned her or would she listen to his explanation? It was becoming quite the tale at this point. As the black mare's muzzle touched his shoulder, he offered a gentle smile, his gaze softening as he looked from her to her daughter. They had already become so precious to him in such a short time. Perhaps some day he would have a family of his own with a mare who loved him. She told him that they would remain friends and he would always be welcome. His eyes lit up. "That's good to hear." He had a feeling he would never be able to completely leave them behind, just as with Shenzi. He would come back to see them some day.

Then she asked him to stay with them while he was here and Collision smiled wider. "I would be honored." And there was nowhere he'd rather be than with a friend. He pricked his ears, listening attentively as Rhadra said when Izzy woke up that they would go toward the lake. She already had such plans, wanting to teach her daughter how to swim later on and Collision nodded in agreement. "Sounds perfect." She always painted the Peak in such beauty, first at the cliff and now he couldn't wait to see the majesty of the lake. He was sure it wouldn't disappoint. He flicked an ear back toward the mare as she said again that his company was welcome and she felt better having another horse nearby. "And I'm glad to be here with you and Izzy." He assured her before looking off toward the direction she had mentioned. It was indeed beautiful here, but he was growing restless, wanting to know Shenzi's fate.
