His cousin has been gone for a whole day so he decided to look for her. Mother had finally returned, but now she was worried because Primrose was missing. Sanibel didn't need any more troubles so Roheryn told her that he would find Prim. He was close enough to his cousin to have a good idea where she went so he instinctively gallops towards the Forest. Prim was older now so she might have spent the night there with Han (he knew the girl was catching feelings for the young stallion). He snorts at the thought, but Han seems like a nice enough mate.

He reaches the very meadow he had first met Han, but no one was there. A sudden sound of movement causes him to duck down in the grass. He peaks through talls green glades to see an unknown mare walk by. Ro doesn't know anyone here other than Han and he still wasn't even sure this place was safe. Once the mare was far enough away, he leaps from his hiding spot and keeps running forward. He couldn't leave until he knew Prim was safe. Ro runs deeper into the forest until another sounds catches his attention.

He quickly hides behind the thick bark of a tree, but peers around to see the stranger ahead. A young black mare was pushing her body against the tree to get of an itch, he assumes. The mare looks harmless and around his age, but he tries to not let her know where he was. His heart thumps loudly in his chest with anticipation and something begins to form in his nose. "No!" He exclaims right before a loud sneeze erupts from his nostrils. There was no hiding now. He slowly takes steps away from the tree and faces the black mare who had now moved away from her tree and grazed. His blue eyes lock with hers in shock.
