Aurora looked between West and Moon as they talked, he was just excited to go anywhere. It didn't matter to him so when West said he could decided he just kind of froze for a moment "Uhhh..." Was all he said for a second before looking around "We could head towards the beach and look around the cliffs there. Maybe we can find a cave to explore!" He suggested hoping both of them we were fine with that suggestion

Scarlet nodded at Phantoms words then trotted on, following her mother who was standing a few feet away and waiting. Macy tossed her white mane from one side of her neck to the other and snorted. Scarlet shook her head and cantered away from her mother. Macy whinnied and gave a small tear before she galloped after her. Scarlet kicked it into high gear when she heard her mother whinney. She galloped faster while her mother quickly came up behind her and softly nipped her hindquarters. The two chased each other around the field for a little longer. - Dixie huffed out a breath and grunted when she stood. She snorted and shook her head, her mane flying. She flicked her tail and trotted in circles. She tossed her mane all to one side and kicked into a canter. When she saw West, she raised her tail and galloped to him, sliding to a stop and tossing her head. "Look West! Im doing better!" Then she became serious. "West. You saved my life. Thank you"

West looked in between the two foals, just waiting for them to make a decision. When Aurora spoke he nodded, deciding that was better then nothing. Moon would probably love the idea. West turned as Dixie cantered up, flicking his ears. He listened to what the mare said, looking surprised and shaking his head. "All I did was stand there and freak out. You shouldn't Be thanking me, you should be thanking Phantom." He said quietly, not letting emotion show in his voice but really just being exhausted.

Dixie snorted. "Nonsense! You were the one that told her to get the flower. You were the one that said random facts to keep everyone's minds off me. You are the one that protects everyone here. I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you" she gave him a soft bump with her shoulder before trotting away. She took one look back at him before cantering to the stream and taking a sip.

West guessed Phantom already knew about the flower, but he wasn't going to argue with Dixie now. It seemed stupid to argue over compliments, so he kept his mouth shut. "And thank you." Was all West said as he watched Dixie Trot off, then turned his brown gaze back to the foals

Dixie pawed at the water, watching her reflection waver in the ripples in the water. She snorted and took a step in, watching as the small minnows swam away from her hooves. The longer she stayed put, the more fish would visit this new attraction. Dixie lowered her muzzle into the water and all but one fish swam away. The brave little minnow came up and bumped her nose. Before she knew it, most all of them were bumping her. She jumped back and snorted, rubbing her nose on her leg. "That tickled!" She said as she continued to rub her nose on her leg. She found a good tree and sat on her hind quarters against the tree, rubbing her back against it. She then stood with a huff and shook. She put one hoof in front of the other and lowered her head, rubbing her cheek on her leg. She was so itchy!

Tiger moved off west's territory and walked cautiously into the trees, maybe somewhere around here he could find a territory that was safe for him,

As the foals crafted their decision making skills from scratch West turned his gaze over the herd, making sure everyone was okay. The sight of Dixie with the minnows did bring a small smile to his face, though it was a bit... tired looking.

Phantom chuckled as Scarlet ran off, she turned her attention to everyone else. West looked understandly tired and the foals looked like they were plotting something which peaked her interest so she trotted slowly over to them before stopping beside West. "What are you two trouble makers planning?" She asked with a tease while dipping her head down to look at them. ~ Aurora was planning things out with Moon when he heard trotting steps he glanced over to see Phantom. He smiled brightly at her question "First of all lady we are not trouble makers, secondly we are gonna go down to the beach and hopefully explore some caves!" He beamed prancing in place

Tiger snorted loudly and heaved his heavy body up a mountain slide, he knew it was dangerous, but he needed land
