Cain is not far behind him, that much is clear. Scarecrow may be meant to glide over the desert and exist on little to no food, but the tobiano is built for power and it is evident in the thunderous sound of his hooves as he races towards them. From behind him, Geneva issues one word and his blood runs cold, even as he starts to process the thought of what it means for wolves to be here, on Salem.

Any number of predators, he could expect. Wild dogs even, but wolves? Why had they come here?

A moment later the mare clears up the issue regarding the foals and he recognizes the name of Zubeia, even though he had not formally met the palomino mare. It makes more sense now, why the wolves would have gone to target the small pony mare rather than Geneva. Birth led to blood, and blood implied weakness. They were still supremely lucky to have escaped with both foals alive.

Cain appears a moment later, and Crow takes a few steps farther away, recognizing the possessive look in the tobiano's eyes. While Crow had no intention of taking either child away from the ruler of the Desert, he knows firsthand how powerful instinct can be. Thankfully, Geneva's condition and the new children tear his attention away and Scarecrow returns his attention to the direction from which Geneva had come. Only a moment later and Cain dashes past him with a parting command to protect the three of them, and Crow nods, only to be once again commanded. This time it is Geneva who tells him to stay behind and he is torn between the twin desires of wanting to stop the injured mare from risking more damage and needing to obey her command.

"Be careful!" He shouts this after the retreating mare's form, his teeth gritting with worry. As soon as she departs he shifts position to be nearer to the foals, gently guiding them to be side by side with one another and himself.

"Stay close, little ones. They will be back soon." His voice is much softer as he speaks to the newborns, already worried for how this dramatic start to life will affect them. He can tell from the way Cain interacted with Legolas that he will be a good father, and he trusts that Geneva too, is a sound parent, but no one should have to witness death before their first meal.

Or, he assumes this is before they have nursed. Scarecrow has never been allowed to foals this fresh to the world and he is unsure if there is something more he can do for them apart from lend his body heat and protection. On guard the stallion stays behind with the foals as he was bid, alert and watchful. He murmurs as much to the foals as to the herd at large, "it will be okay."
