dawn nodded at the fillys words then she looked up at tiger who asking west who she was she stood straight again "my names dawn" she said with a toss of her grey head then she looked back at the filly "in some ways we will in others not so much"

Dixie sighed. "I'm keeping my mouth closed about it" she watched the filly "and if she is Tigers then why are you worried about her?" She turned her head to West, watching his eyes

dawn looked at dixie "i still have no clue whats going on " she stood up and looked at west "can somebody tell me whats going on"

West shook his head a little. "I'm not worried about the filly. It'll be fine, just nevermind what I said." He then turned to Dawn. "I knew this stallion a long time ago- he used to live in this herd. He left to make one of his own, but now he's back." West explained.

dawn nodded "makes sence" she said shaking her head she then looked at tiger "ill take her to get some water if you whant to talk with west" dawn said in her normal flat voice

Tiger felt a protective surge of his filly, "and where's that? In my sight?" He said cautiously, Tiger looked down at the little filly, he had to keep her close, she's couldn't defend herself at all.

Warri looked at everyone, they looked worried, was it her father that worried them? Or her?. Warri listened to the mares offer, "father, I need a drink" she said, not showing how happy she was to have some freedom, with her sire, it was always "'stay close, don't go out of my eyesight"" Warri itched her shoulder

West could tell Tiger was getting all tense about the idea of Warri walking away, so he answered calmly. "The stream is right down there, in plain sight of here. I promise Warri will be perfectly safe." he answered, lowering his head slightly. "I would trust Dawn with my life- I know you just met her, but you can to." He said to hopefully soothe the protective stallion.

Tiger snorted and lowered his head to Warri, "remember what we talked about" he said quietly, he looked at wild, "alright" he said, "she can go"

Warri pranced around in excitement, unable to hold back the joy of freedom, but the civilised part of her hung onto what her sire said, she would be ready to run any minute something bad happened.

West twitched an ear, knowing foals could change a horse. He had become a lot more careful after Willow came along... and he did love her like a daughter.. but he guessed it was a little different being a real father. He sighed a little at the thought, slight sadness creeping into his eyes as he looked at the mountains in the distance.

"you alright wild?" He asked, coming a little closer, he watched as Warri bounded off, he hoped she wouldn't get herself into trouble, but if she did, she knew what to do
