The strange essa before her did not seem to have any qualms about frightening Sonya, in fact she seemed satisfied with her response. Ears twitching the fearful lass watched every response the stranger made because it was the only thing she could think to do. It was instinctive behaviour. If her brown eyes left the unicorn for even a second anything could happen. At least that's what she believed in her messed up head. Maybe it was some defensive mechanism in place in her mind or maybe her loss of memory had brought her right down to the basic levels of survival. All she knew was that every fibre in her body was alert to everything. The darkness did not help matters much. Everything seemed creepier in the darkness and Sonya's personality didn't really fit in with the dark any way. She a lighter creature even if she had no memory of the torments of her past.

Slowly pushing the pain that shot through her to the back of her skull, she could do nothing but stare a little sheepishly at the unicorn. Her reaction was not in response to anything the mysterious femme had done but there was no way Sonya felt that she could explain this with embarrassing herself and coming across as completely stupid. She didn't want to be the village idiot of the home this helpful yet frightening mare offered her. It would make it seem as though she didn't understand what was happening when she did, and the grulla mare was very grateful for it. This new land was strange and scary to her for more reasons that the typical ones. Being offered a home straight away meant the change a little bit easier to cope with. Her tail flicked some snow off of her sides as she waited for any further dialogue from the bay, and when it came she listened intently.

So this mare's name was Seele then, Sonya thought. She was glad to be able to associate a name to someone, to take up a little of the empty space in her brain. Somehow it made her feel more secure. She also felt more secure with the knowledge that the other equines of the herd, or family as Seele called it, were in a similar situation to her. With a bit of luck the grey pelted horse would fit in very well. "Th-thank you Seele" she murmured quietly, responding quickly to the feeling of being shoved. She started to walk despite the ache in her limbs. She just hoped the trek wasn't too far to her new home.
