Attention was the last thing the spotted mare sought. This was legitimate business that impacted the entire family, and not just her own, and not just Bloodmane's. It was ultimately her desire to see them unite and move as one, and perhaps they'd cooperate more than she anticipated, especially since they'd all arrived. She waits no longer though; those who stayed behind would be left behind.

“ For those of you who do not know me, I am Warsong. Lead mare of Olaf's family, which, by extension, also means Bloodmane's. “ she said, and then stared directly for Nakita. Warsong dared her to challenge her statement in that moment; it wouldn't be wise, at least, not that moment. Her attention then shifted to some of the others. “ I've called notice to the herd because it is important that we stay close now. The seasons are about to change once more, and it is time to move. With the change of season, those of us who are pregnant will start to foal, I personally do not want to risk rogue stallions harassing you or your young, it is too widely known that we have been comfortable here in the Oasis, and if I can keep the bachelors away from us, I fully intend to. Being as the coming season is winter, it is best of we stray from the Oasis. To let nature have its way and regrow what we have eaten for when summer is upon us, which is a mere two seasons away. “ she said “ Winter is here and the intensity of the day is considerably more bearable. “ She points with her nose toward the river that lead away from the oasis and into the dunes themselves. ” I already have an idea of where to go, as for the past week I have scouted a good bit of the terrain. We will follow that water collection to another source of water. “ she said and looked back to her herd.

“ There is no shade or food for many days, so take your last bits of food and comfort now. When we arrive, shade will be scarce, which will need to be shared. The the only food can be found at the bottom of the water, and it will require foraging. If you are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with how to do so, I will show you how personally once we arrive. We will travel in unison as a herd broken down in pairs to avoid deep holes left in the sand by our hooves while we travel. Any questions? “

The mare stomped a hoof defiantly as she peered among the others. Pensive for their concerns – if any.
