Ava stood her ground with Flynt by her side. No doubt someone would notice her. The weather had grown alot warmer than she had ever been used to but the mare shrugged it off. Flynt was beginning to shed his baby fur now, revealing his true colors of black and white and he looked identical to his father with the addition of blue eyes like his mother. They didn't have long to wait before someone noticed them. First to show was the stallion and from her point of view he didn't look too excited that she was here. He was a blue roan, a color she hadn't seen that often around here and one she had never seen back home. Ava gave a nudge to Flynt's rump, pushing him into her flank. Not all stallions welcomed foals that weren't their own, especially colts. If she had to, Ava would protect him at all costs and find a different home. Her heart raced as she awaited his reaction.

Luckily for her and her son, the stallion showed no sign of immediate aggression. The mare relaxed and looked to the ground. "Seems that's the case," she said sadly. She shifted her weight nervously then brought her head back up to be level with his. A golden form coming towards them caught her attention and her head shot up with ears pricked forward. All these strangers coming at her made her nervous for Flynt's safety and the mother swung her head around and bumped the foal again so this time he was underneath her belly. The colt grunted in annoyance but saw the opportunity to go for the milk and he began to nurse greedily.

The golden one was a mare and from the looks of it she was childless. Must be new around here. Ava was pretty new herself but she decided the Inlet was her home no matter who ruled here. The mare's presence calmed the atmosphere and Ava smiled. "My name's Avalanche, but you can call me Ava if you wish." she paused and nodded her head toward her son. "This is my son, Flynt." The colt ignored her and continued on with his lunch. As if things couldn't get any more interesting, a blast from the past showed up. It was her one and really only friend she had made here so far, the grey mare. At her side was a pure black foal which she knew to be Mafi's. Happiness swelled inside her and she nearly tripped over Flynt as she trotted a few strides ahead to meet Pierina. Her boy would have a playmate now and he was lucky it would be his half-brother. "Pierina! So happy to see you," Ava exclaimed blissfully. Her blue eyes peered down at the ebony foal beside her friend and she smiled warmly. "And who might you be, handsome?"
