The silvery mare listened quietly while Snapdragon spoke, and considered what she had said. By the mare's own admission, Rutger was a loose cannon and one that was doing more damage the longer he stayed around. Were it Roux in Snapdragon's shoes, she would have likely already traded him off to the Lagoon for a more suitable second or flat out kicked him out.

However, the painted mare doubled down on her statement that no one deserved to be traded away and Roux's brows raised but she said nothing, her disagreement plain. If the opportunity to secure her and Faline's safety had ever come at the expense of someone else, Roux would have taken it and gladly so. It might have prevented them from being split up in the first place. "Sure." Roux answered noncomittally, having already made her point about why that might someday change. If Snapdragon refused to see that trading might have definite, unarguable benefits, well, that was what it was. Perhaps she'd someday be in a position to change her mind.

Breeding season often had a way of doing that.

As the conversation shifted to mundane topics like the best things to eat, Roux paused for a moment, and then accepted it. She wasn't really the tour guide sort, but if that was what Snapdragon wanted, she could suffer through an afternoon of it.
