"The point of a back exit is to get the weaker ones out in the case of a siege. Show me these streams and I'll tell you if you we can most definitely keep the ground dwellers and other enemies out."

"But where our young could get out, so ground dwellers could get in. That's all I'm saying." She gives a shrug and heads off deeper into the caves. The echos of her hooves ring back from the walls. Deep within the caves several streams flow. Several spots have 'platform' like appearances that allow for easy access to the fresh water. The water comes from a hole in one wall and disappears into an identical hole in the opposite wall.

"We'll find a way to safeguard against that," Thosi decided, with the utmost confidence that they would. How had yet to be seen, but they would.

Zo gave a nod in compliance. Clearly is this was important. "Well now where would you like to go next?"

Thosi considered for a moment then, "Outside. I want to take a look at our caves from the outside."

Zo smiled. An excellent choice. She lead the way back the way they'd come. At the entrance she pushed off from the lip and circled around. She waited for Thosi, to see if the other wanted to look from the air or land first.

Thosi launched herself up into the air and circled their new home, watching the ground cautiously for any obvious openings or weaknesses.

Zo circled once then slide into place at the other's wingtip. The wake she created made flying easier. She wondered what Thosi was looking for.

"Looks good from up here," Thosi decided, seeming to take it for granted that Zo would just automatically know what she was doing. She spiraled downward, intending to take a closer look at their surroundings.

Zo nodded approval. She'd love the way the cliff face looked and the lush forest below. The whole valley was quite pretty. She took her time to spiral down. Letting her alpha have a good look around before she caught up.

Thosi wasn't admiring the scenery. At least not yet. Later, when she was confident she knew her new home inside and out, she would take in the aesthetic view. For now, however, she had a goal and was focused. "How thoroughly have you studied the outside?" she asked Zo when the other soq landed.

"Well I haven't done an inch by inch search, if that's what you mean. I first checked that no other herds were in the valley or nearby. Looked for obvious dangers areas. Good sources of water and plenty of large game for the others to hunt." She cocked her head at the other mare. "Did I miss anything?" Zo was certainly willing to learn if there was another factor she should have included in her calculations.

"Not for a first run through," she nodded a bit, approvingly. "Location seems ideal, and with a lack of any herds nearby, it'll give us time to grow and plan. But a clever mind determined to get in will find the weak links in the chain. If we know where those weak links are, we can defend against them. Sometimes, it pays to be paranoid."

Zo was pleased with herself. She hadn't missed anything on the basics. "Oh, I certainly hope we can grow. There doesn't seem to be much interest right now does there?"
She paced back and forth for a moment before turning back to Thosi. "Weak spots are vital. The dens will be one, I'm sure. We'll find the others and do what we can about them. I think we have a little leeway right now, since there's so few of us and no foals." Enough time, in her mind to make the place safer and guard against attacks.

Thosi nodded thoughtfully. "It will certainly give us tome to do a more through investigation. And, in time, the herd will grow. I'll make sure of it." She wasn't going to led a herd that had so pitifully few members. But for a start, this wasn't bad at all. She eyed Zo before deciding that she would do as a second in command. She seemed to have everything in order.
