Shaydowfax's nicker grabs her attention so she stops chasing her foals around to greet her new Lead. She watches the mare respectively as she reaches the oasis for a drink. When her Lead quenches her thirst, she then turns to Desirie and asks how she was. "I am doing well Shaydowfax. Thanks for letting us stay here as a part of your herd." She gives the mare a dip of her proud head. If she had desired it, Desirie would have taken the Dunes as her own years ago when her mate died. Instead, she decided her days at running a herd were over and she no longer sought the authority that came from being a lead mare.

"Tell me what troubles have you run into since your Queenship? Has anyone come after you? I took a trip over to the Desert, but as soon as I witnessed how the stallion over there leads, I came back home. He does not seem like a friend." Desirie watches her leader with interest in her response. She has caught the scent of a stallion or two in the Dunes, but there was only one she saw walking around in a friendly manner. She was wary of strange males stalking around the herd especially one ruled by a female. They probably thought they could take whatever they wanted.

Shaydowfax's colt bounds over to Leilyn and Libra. The girls watch him for a second and it was Leilyn who accepts him first. She asks him if he wants to play in a child-like voice.
