Goose, still a silly name, seems nice enough. He stays a respectable distance even as they exchange formalities, but she is quick to remind him that staying where he was would be wise. Honestly, she wouldn't be able to do much to the much larger stallion, but she would try. Her eyes fixate on Goose as he explains it is the leader's job to assure the horses that come into his home are friendly or foes. This statement confuses her greatly seeing how her father owns this and. Who did this Goose think he was? She was beginning to grow angry, but he seemed to know who Liland was.
Goose answers her question of who she smells like with the name of her father. She snickers with a bob of her head before her son goes underneath for more to drink. She wanted to snap at her child, get up and walk away from his painful suckling, but she stays put because of the stranger in front of them. Dealing with a newborn would be something to get used to. It was possibly even harder at her young age. She would need a stable home to raise her son just in case she never found his father again.
Something changed in the vanner's features just now. She watches him closely, seeing a spark of sorrow in his eyes. She didn't understand what brought this sudden change in him until the words came out of his mouth. A frown sets itself on her lips as her ears flip backward. His words were a muddled mess at first as she didn't understand what he could mean. Father no longer lived here? He goes on to invite her to stay if she needed a home, but Leilyn just stands there dazed. It wasn't like Liland not to let her know if he had moved elsewhere.
"Wait, wait," she says to stop him talking going any further. "What do you mean Liland is gone? Did he tell you where he was going? My father loves this Bay and he was so excited to leave Salem to come back here after being run off by the stallion Warsaw next door. He would never leave..." A thought comes to her mind. Her hoof stomps, Mána immediately stops eating and peeks from underneath his mother to stare at the stallion near them. "What have you done to my father!" She shouts and takes a step forward with pinned ears.
