OoC: OMG The month is almost over, and I haven't been active in like, weeks! I profusely apologize for my not posting, but ever since school started, I couldn't find time for the computer. I couldn't even tell you I wouldn't come on for some time. I'm really sorry. Thanks a lot for keeping this thread alive, guys <333
BIC: Flame listened to the loner mare's story with interest and sympathy. "I see," he replied quietly, feeling truly sorry for their loss. The mare looked a little gaunt, and so did the poor foal. Flame was tempted to ask them to join their herd, but restrained his tongue. They didn't know the two well, and he decided it was best to wait until they got to know each other better. His gaze traveled from the colt to his mother as he silently decided what to do next. "So what are you two planning to do now? We're headed north, and if you're going there two, it'll be safer if you stay close to the herd." Flame could see his nephew was a little surprised at this, and, well, so was he. "He can stay in the herd when we travel, if you'd like that." he added, flicking an ear at the little mustang.
Echo looked up at Flame with some amazement and hope. He then turned to Alell and nickered back, "Yeah? Well, I think we're gonna get a new playmate!"
Vixen watched her companion and future lead mare and chuckled softly. She was looking forward to Flame's return, and the events that were likely to follow.
