He was too busy thinking about the snake to realize he too would be seen as a threat. He had to remind himself sometimes that he was a threatening stallion to a stranger despite the softness of his blue eyes. He steps back quickly as the mother snaps in his direction and positions her child behind her. It makes him sad to see the protectivness and the aggression, but this was the reality of life. Even on these islands.

It was when the colt tries to step forward and the mother kicks him back that he huffs. She must really be afraid. Maybe she has been in trouble before with an abuser. His eyes soften again from the prior annoyance only to see the colt defy her again. Oh, so this boy was trying to test the waters. He chuckles, but a nagging thought crosses his mind. The Lagoon would love to get their hooves on a colt like this.

The child would need a good figure in his life to keep him from straying. There were many worthy horses on Tinuvel to guide him though the choice would always be up to the mother. The mare speaks and Nico nods his head. "Well I'm not here to pose you or your son any harm," He says kindly. "But I must warn you that there is more dangers in this place than snakes." He takes one look around for any of those said dangers before continuing. "Your boy needs a safe play to run to get his energy out, but not here."

He adjusts himself. "I am guessing you two are new around here?" Looking between the two of them he could see some differences. Their scent for one, but also the way the mother seemed so protective over her child in yet would bring him to a place like this.
