Her voice held a somber tenor as it reached his ears. It caused his heart to skip a beat, eyes sinking even more with despair as he already knew what would be coming next.

Beside him Guns stole forward, creeping around the backside of the mare to view that which was being concealed. Far more observant than Ricochet, who was too absorbed with Solstice, Guns sniffed eagerly towards the stranger.

Solstice's response was anticipated, but it did not keep the hurt from his heart to see her go. She spoke extensively of her family, a bond Ricochet knew well, but his family had either died or been scattered. He was forced to adopt everyone, anyone, equine. They were his brothers, his sisters, his mothers, his fathers, his children - all of them. Back when they'd talked, she'd revealed to him that she did not so much appeal to the other species as tolerated them for the sake of peace. Would she not stay with him, aid him, serve him in their equine partnership as willingly as she did her young?

No, he thought, she would not. She still had her family and was collecting them in as single a location as possible. He could not truly blame her, but it still had him withdrawing and pouting. What about what's best for me he wanted to wail childishly, but did not. He was not a child any more after all.

Just as Guns' nose was reaching out to touch the little filly Solstice moved aside to expose her to Ricochet's view. Wounded already by Solstice's departure the appearance of a newborn filly at her side cleaved the young boy's heart. He staggered back, his initial reaction horror at the blemished foal before him and shock at it's position bestride the mare he'd thought to partner with.

That wound cut deeper than any she'd given him yet.

His composure regained itself swiftly however, a terse whistling having Guns sharply back at his side. Teal eyes left the abomination of a filly to burn into Solstice's gaze, narrowing with a cruel detachment he normally reserved for those not equine. "Go," he spoke with an authority he did not possess, but a seriousness he did. She would be given only this once chance by him, she must understand that. The next time her child would be as much of a target as any other foul pegasus.

"GO!"
