It was when that thought took root inside of him and began to grow, that his eyes rested upon the one-winged mare. A small smile captured his lips and he memorized every inch of her. He could be in a herd. Why not? To drag his own weight for the benefit of all and maybe settle down, that did not sound so bad to him.
He turned towards the grey mare who had closed some distance between them as he had been thinking, before he streched his neck towards her. "I thank you, both for your help and the kind words you utter when I need it the most. It is true, I do seek companionship and a road to follow, but..what my heart and soul yearns after, is somewhere to belong.". He offered Storm a smile that crept into his eyes and softened them, before he spoke again. "I do not know you well, but still I can see that you do not need me to fulfill your goals. I do however, wish you will not think bad of me for letting you continue alone". He bowed his head to her, both in respect and as a friend. "I wish you the best of luck, Storm, and I hope we will cross paths again"
