The man kept offering reasons it wouldn't work. He spoke the truth; she could see that. Everything he said was reasonable and likely, and yet... She wouldn't accept them until she saw the herd's rejection with her own eyes. Perhaps her reasons for silly and her attempts vain, but for whatever reason, she had to try. "...We will have a hard-earned dinner." At this, a ghost of a smile touched Sindre's lips but if he intended to lift her spirits he was going to have to try harder. This whole business was rather saddening. He had a point and he was trying to help and be funny, but in all honesty she didn't find the prospect of eating the little foal very appealing. Her gaze went the foal who was gently nuzzling his mother's face. Sindre couldn't think of anything sadder. It made her think of her own family and how terrible their odds had seemed in the beginning. Sindre tore her gaze from the foal as the stranger began to speak again. It took a moment for what he'd said to register. The humor was unexpected and before she could smother it in melancholy a laugh escaped her lips. She grinned at the stranger and then capitulated. "Sure, why not. I could use the help." She stepped around the pit so that she was on one side of the foal and the stranger was on the other. Maybe they could shepherd him in the right direction. It was easy to see where the rest of the herd had gone; hoof prints littered the ground around them. They all pointed east so that was where the wolves and their charge would head. Hopefully they weren't too far away. Sindre looked over the foal at the stranger. "So tell me, stranger, why help? You think it's a lost cause, no?" She shrugged. "Why not have a laugh and be on your way?" |
