Bjorn's greeting warms her heart, and the nerves she harbors in regards to her approach settle at Lagertha's kind words. A smile flits across her charcoal lips and she inclines her head in greeting, feeling absurdly happy at the uncovering of the mare's relationship to her grullo claimer. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

The red girl doesn't say anything else immediately, as the young buckskin mare that she'd introduced herself to during the messy announcement of Ny's queenship quickly joins the party from the same direction she had. She wonders briefly if the mare had been awake prior to this little gathering, and immediately fears that she may have awoken her. From what little Sio knows of the young mare, she seems to be uneasy of her residence here and clearly pregnant with a first child.

She makes a mental note to get to know the mare more. If a kind face would help the girl with her worries, Sio could be that..

Before the spotted mare can reply, the sound of more hoofbeats reach her ears and she twists her head so that she can see the darkly shaded queen approach. Sio isn't sure if she can see the tension rising, or if it is only within herself that unease ripples. The red girl was willing to accept Ny's leadership without causing a fuss, but that did not mean she trusted the unknown mare. Nyimara was bold and forward, and to Sio, almost seemed rash in her brashness and confident; Sio couldn't yet tell what she was thinking and that made her wary.

Still, she inclines her head allows a mildly friendly twist of her lips that stills only when she once again approaches to chastise the grullo stallion. Certainly she didn't think this gathering was about to brave the ocean together to retrieve the children tonight? Perhaps Lagertha and Bjorn were skilled enough to do the worst of the work, but only the most blind of creatures would mistake Sio and Kalayani - the two most quiet residents of the land apart from Wren - as the forerunning warriors.

Thus, Ny's statement is little more than kindling to start some sort of fire. A show of control so that she may control the narrative and it leaves a slightly bitter taste in Sio's mouth.

Thankfully, it is Lagertha that speaks first and by the time Bjorn announces his consensus with the controversial queen it is also with agreement. Sio inclines her blazed face, accepting all three points of view. It seemed to make the most sense to her. If they trickled in or came separately or only sent some of them, it was opening far more opportunities for their quarry to somehow succeed against them.

All that worried Siobhan was the thought of those who would not rush with them being left behind in the Ridge. Who would stay to protect them?

She is broken from her reverie when another stallion approaches. She does not know his name, nor who he is, nor does she really harbor any desire to find out. Stallions in general make her uneasy these days, especially those that she does not know. It is only Bjorn's acceptance of this satellite statllion that has appeased her and of the other male she's seen wandering about.

As his vow and Bjorn's acceptance of it fall quiet on the group, Sio's voice rises to fill the silence. "Have you decided when we will move on the Lagoon?"

Her gaze flicks to Bjorn before scanning over the group, sure that both her claimor and his queen will answer, but unsure of the rest.
