Her soft voice echoed around him as she finally spoke, stating the obvious but Fundamental smiled nonetheless. Interesting reaction to such a place but he would not complain and the stallion only gave a faint nod in return to her observation. She was the first he had brought here and so her voice was the first to touch these walls since his arrival upon this territory. Fundamental had not spoken during his visits and truly he had not realized how loud it was. Maybe over time it would not seem so daunting.


Stepping away from the mare he made his way over towards the cave. His steps were sure over the scattered bits of rock, a scraggley bush growing on the edge of the cave mouth but that was the only bit of life among the stone and snow. As he reached the entrance, Fundamental’s ears pushed forward as his nostrils flared to catch any scents other than his own lingering smell. Nothing which was how he prefered it as that only resulted in safety.


Once standing inside, the stallion twisted around until he was facing the outside. The cave stretched far enough back that it was large enough for a good numbered herd but always he never ventured any farther back than a few lengths. The stallion hoped she would join him here inside where the wind would be kept from them and their shared body heat would keep them nice and warm. Only then would he ask her name finally as he wonder if she would be staying.
