He did not feel entirely comfortable with the absence of his Mira, knowing her to be a big factor in most of his decisions. He scans the horizon for her in lieu of his passive victory over their loss of the Dunes and safe autonomy. It is not her, however, that makes themself known first after his call - he imagined she was yet with their child and possibly taking her time with the little Niyat.
The first response to his claim is, instead, a stranger that he only vaguely remembered from spying him off in the distance once or twice - his scent more familiar than his particular appearance. "I recognize you," Antares proposes - although the matters that the stallion brings up make both sense and do not deter or offend him. It is sensible, wanting to be easily found by family. It is reasonable not to want to owe one's life and freedom to a stranger. It is understandable to have a love of a place no matter its leadership.
It makes him consider again, more strongly, the new path he wished to propose for the Dunes. A leadership that is hands off and respectful of others who wish to raise their own family in peace and prosperity - even such dangerously fragile prosperity as could be found in a dunes-sand desert. "Though, I do not even know your name..." He smiles, apologetically, harkening back to the fact he recognized the man - and mentioning without words that perhaps he needed better acquaintance to be able to so soon acquiesce such a concession when he’d not even sured up his claim with his own family.
