Meekly Sibalto dropped his head for a moment, and then nodded enthusiastically with the most innocent expression he could manage. There was mischief in his eyes and heart, but that much couldn't be helped, so he settled for the sweetest tone he could manage"Oh of course, Heart-Of-My-Heart, I learned that lesson fairly quickly."
If she took a bite of him, it was no less than he deserved, and inwardly he chuckled at the thought. Still, her laughter warmed his heart and made him quite content, and he relaxed the pose in the next moment. With a flick of his tail he grinned and stretched his head to nose her cheek, rumbling affectionately before turning his attention back to the colt. There was a swell of pride in his chest at the sight of the intelligence in his eyes. That boy didn't miss a thing, it seemed. He would be quite a young stallion in no time at all... Why must they grow so fast?
He grinned. "True enough, taller than some of your uncles at your age, I'm sure. And growing every day, as all lads are likely to do."
When Esparda swung around beside him, Sibalto craned his head around and hummed in surprise. "Well now, look at that? In no time at all, you'll be protecting me!"
