The three of them are listening quietly; the foals with curiosity, and Loki for simple politeness. Ashlan's head is tilted ever so slightly to one side as he just takes it all in, while Ashara tries to imagine what it must be like to upset one's parents; she looks almost contemplative. Perhaps it wouldn't be terribly unjust to accuse them of being cautiously protective, but to the foals, they seem nothing but mild-mannered, calm, and gentle. The filly can't quite envision either one 'mad', and it seems rather unlikely she ever will.
"Well met," Loki replies, giving his head another bow. Ashlan follows the example with a nod, and Ashara adds a "nice to meet you" afterward, hiding her reservations with a cheerful smile. Neither of the foals have encountered a wolf before; their instincts are still pricked with flighty unease.
The colt seems the sort who grows over his emotions quickly though; he'll likely take after his father in calmness when he's older. For now, he's ignoring the uncomfortable twitch beneath his hide, and gives the pair a more openly curious expression as he regards them with his pale eyes. "Were you going somewhere?" Giving his short tail an idle swish, he looks again between them, and then to Ashara, who has taken another step forward.
The filly's discomfort seems to have left her too; her expression is more neutral now. "Do you have to go now?" she queries, ignoring her brother in favor of what seems more sensible to her.

Lyka nods to each of them, and mumbled her "How do you do's" to them in turn. Lyka felt very awkward around so many unfamiliar Soquili. Her fur was beginning to stand on end, and her front paws were shuffling in place. Alyna, ever the social butterfly, loved meeting new faces. Lyka absolutely did not. Yet Alyna was constantly pushing her into these situations.
Lyka sighed wearily and replied to the foal's questions. "We should probably be heading back. Her parents are wondering where she is."
Alyna pouted, stamping her front hoof unhappily. "But I was having fun! Surely we can stay another five minutes? Pleeeeease, Lyka?" Alyna's eyes were pleading, opened to their widest. But Lyka wasn't budging. Alyna should have known better that to even try to beg, because such acts were wasted on the ever practical wolf. "No, Alyna. You parents are expecting you, and you've been playing with them for a while now."
Sullen, Alyna nodded. She swished her tail, grinned, and said, "Well, I guess I've got to go home. It was fun getting to know you guys! Maybe we'll play again sometime!"
