The mare was startled, but so was he. It was funny to think both were scared on their ends for different reasons. Roheryn did not know much about the Forest except when he had traveled here with Primrose and the few details he got from the young Ynvgar when he visited the Prairie. Ultimately, he did not know if he would be chased out of here if a herd member found him lurking. It must make him look like a stalker dodging from tree to tree to avoid being seen. Bright blue eyes cling to the black mare in his path. She stares back at him with large eyes.

They almost match each other in shock. He took note of her posture, the tail tuck, and the snorting, so he didn't approach any closer. He fears if he did get closer this black mare could charge and chase him back to the Prairie and he would never know if Primrose was indeed here or not. Then she raises her voice and questions him. They were legit questions, but the last question startled him. Someone must have tried to take her away from her home. "No, no!" He shouts, trying to convince her he was no harm.

"I am looking for my cousin Primrose. Have you seen her? She has a heart-shaped marking on her forehead and her coat is a light gold color." He starts explaining himself in a hurry and giving his best examples of what Prim looks like. He hopes this mare would believe him and let him know if she had seen his cousin or not so he could move onto the next place. His journey to find his cousin had just begun, but he already felt stressed out by this encounter.
