A knot forms in her throat as Shamwari speaks. Her cream-colored head nods as she takes a step forward, but it is Larka who gives the biggest reaction. Sanibel remains calm on the outside, but inside her heart was ready to burst. She didn't know if she could handle any more blows, any more heartbreak. Darshan was still a stranger to her but seeing the connection between her and Shamwari made this fear real. If he lost Darshan, he might be lost. Without Shamwari, she would be lost. Sanibel had wondered this earth for so long with something missing in her life. She found that missing piece here in the Prairie. She found Shamwari.

Larka shows her a small smile to which Sanibel reflects that smile on her own lips. Larka was a wonderful friend since learning of Sabela's death. They had connections that bonded them, but she still had a lot to learn about the mare. Darshan stirs and her ears soar upwards with full attention towards the lead mare. The perlino cries, apologizes to Shamwari, and gains the strength to lift her head. It was these small victories that calm Sanibel's emotions. She stays quiet until Darshan speaks her name. Sanibel takes steps towards the group, Hawthrone staying close to his mother, until she understands what Darshan was asking. "It would be an honor Darshan."

This was a task she felt proud to handle. She could take care of their son and with Larka, nothing bad would befall the child. Green eyes turn their sights on Shamwari. "Stay with Darshan. She needs you." She smiles at him before reaching her muzzle down to guide the newborn colt to her. "Larka and I will take the utmost care of your son so take care of Darshan for us." It was still hard allowing someone else to hold such an important piece of Shamwari, but this is what had to be done. Shamwari loves her, he loves all of them, and they were a family.
