Raegar was surprised to see her warning stomps, but would have likely not allowed them to dissuade him. If anything, he would have been eager to engage in a minor scuffle with someone to get the blood flowing after so long a swim... or he would have, at least, before he noticed her condition. The boy's experience with pregnant mares was largely limited, but he had been present and watchful when Aramis had been delivered and had seen from a distance the way his father's mares looked when their time was growing close. For all Raegar knew, this mare was going to drop her foal literally any minute, and he most certainly didn't want it to happen here. The ocean had been hard enough for him to traverse as a yearling, he couldn't imagine a tiny baby like Aramis doing it.
Her scolding earns a confused chuckle from him. He had asked nicely, for him at least.
"Oh?" He sort of half questioned and then drew himself up, feeling incredibly foolish as he arched his neck and repeated his earlier sentence.
"I want you to come home with me... please?" His half-bald face tilted inquisitively, uncertain if he had delivered what she had asked for. Manners hadn't exactly been high on Velahrn's list of things to teach him, and by the time he'd been old enough to seek out his father, much of the damage had already been done.
Thankfully, she didn't berate him, and he listened intently as she shared her name, a small smile pooling on his pale lips.
"Hi Teasel," he echoed, committing her name to memory.
"I'm Raegar."
Her sudden change of mood concerned him, and he took a step forward, muzzle extended in supplication. What she offered next baffled him for a moment, as it seemed to come out of nowhere. However, recognition sparked a moment later.
"With, uh, Zevulun? Right?" He questioned, ears tipped forward. Raegar had admittedly little patience for listening to the politics he was supposed to be learning, but he did remember the Prairie and Zevulun, especially given the current situation with his aunt Riesling and her daughter.
"He's allied with us." Raegar offered a half a breath later, pleased as punch to have found another reason for her to trust him.
He would have brought her home somehow either way, but maybe she'd go willingly with him and would maybe not spend the first few weeks hating him the way Ayiana had.
"Will you come home with me, Teasel? I promise I'll take care of you, and the baby." Both of which were easy promises to make as a freshly minted sub lead who had not yet faced a single challenge or tribulation, but were no less genuine for their lack of worldly experience.
