M A G N U S
THE spotted boy knew there had to be a reason she was so guarded but also knew there was no point in asking her about it until she was ready to say something. He couldn't fathom the reasons for a horse to want to be alone all the time. Even if you enjoy your own company, it still must get lonely. That doesn't even cover the practicalities of it either; it must be stressful not having other horses around to keep an eye out for danger while you sleep. His own first season on the islands had been hard enough, he couldn't imagine being alone for longer. He wondered if a part of her was relieved to have him watch over her and Amity now, that she could relax a little.

THE bald faced boy listened as she spoke, a pang of guilt rising as when she said, he should have seen her. While it was said in a joking tone, he was annoyed he hadn't, in fact, seen her. She said she blamed him for Amity being bigger than expected and he feigned an offended look. "Are you saying I'm fat?" he chuckled with a wry smile. She brought the conversation back round to his shoulder which twitched at the reminder. "It's not so bad, it's already mostly healed over" He was mostly out of danger of it becoming infected now that it had scabbed over but the pain was still an issue.

MAGNUS didn't add anything else, giving her a chance to sleep even though she continued to fight it. He turned his gaze back out to bay around them, his ears swivelling as she spoke and trailed off. He wondered how the sentence might have finished but there was little he could do about it. Perhaps, if he remembered, he might ask her when she woke up but for now he would silently guard her and their child while they slept.

[[ooc]] dunno if you wanna just end this thread here and start a new one or continue after Elexzra wakes up.
