Still the woman is talking and he feels his duty is not quite dispensed so long as she asks questions of him. So he waits his turn to speak, tail lashing back and forth with impatience. He doesn't exactly nod, rolling one shoulder in something of a shrug. "It is freedom, with a mutual agreement for aid. There are... roles, which members agree to. Defense, healing, spirituality, scouting, crafting. We choose two disciplines, and in this way we identify in which roles we are teachers and in which we are students. Participation is.... as much as you wish or don't. Ashamin and many linger around the Blood Falls- you can find it where the woods and water begin to turn red, if you are interested."
He turns, with a last worried glance at the two fillies and barely a notice of the other stallion. He flicks his heels slightly and breaks out into a long-strided trot, eager to put more distance between him and the strangers. His threshold for society is past and his duty is discharged. His interest in the mare was only so far as rendering a service which he felt he must.
This finished, he turns his head back towards the Blood Falls, head lowers and seeking out plants he might recognize with eyes and nose.
