The colt's smile was large, but as soon as the filly asks about his mom it fades. He misses his mom, but it was his decision to stay behind. "Hey Raptor, yeah my mom left a few weeks ago," he saya with a shrug of his shoulders. "She asked if I wanted to come, but I didn't want to leave the Dunes or the islands. Plus, my father is out there somewhere." He looks past her to the vast sandy landscape that stretched as far as the eye could see. "It is okay though. My older sister is looking after me." His smile returns as his gaze returns to the filly.

His mother's departure was not a thing he wanted to discuss especially when he'd rather be playing. It was nice to have a friend other than Scorpio and Leilyn to play with. Especially now as even Leilyn decided to leave their family for her father's home. Suddenly, the filly changed. Her reads her movements as challenging behavior, but he wasn't sure how to respond to it so he just looked confused until she spoke. A broad smile spreads over his lips. "King Balavant? Yeah, that sounds nice!" He laughs as his own small hoof pushes back some sand.

"You think a Queen is better than a King?" His head tosses up as he asks the question. He was quite confused at who was supposed to be in charge of what. When he was born Bahadir and Shaydowfax rules the Dunes. They talked as if they were equals, but as soon as Shay was taken away Bahadir assumed life as if nothing was wrong. It led Balavant to wonder just how important a leading mare was.
