Sorry for the crap reply.

Iskata's presence dwindled as she fell silent, more interested in resting her head by the horse than the meeting going on before her. For an ex-matriarch, she did not seem to care at all, although he could not judge her, not knowing her at all. Dawali could easily understand, though, that she had given away her position if she was recently blind - as the state of the wounds suggested. He was a medic, had an eye for such things. He had already left the female mentally when she excluded herself so - before he started explaining his offer and trustworthiness to the matriarch, and now she was like air to him - she did not move or speak, thus he did not pay her any attention at all.
Jefferson waited before he replied, and once he did Dawali felt somewhat uncomfortable. In reality, he had intended to take the food to the horses, not the horses to the food, especially since foals could be really jumpy if their mothers got stressed, which they inevitably would be once strangers were around. Secondly, he'd brought Bella for this purpose. Thirdly he did not know what Ayegali might think of it - she would have a plan and know how many horses they had spare, if any. The red wolf male considered the proposal, and glanced back to Bella. She'd been the more tolerant horse they'd had in the past year or so, and would thus be suitable. Although, didn't this pack already have horses? Otherwise they wouldn't have the food, right? What did they need the AniWaya horses for, if they already had horses? Puzzled, Dawali looked to Jefferson and simply went with the truth - it was much easier.
"Well... For one I'm not certain how many horses we can spare, as I can't say anythong about the summer workload until I see it.. I also intended to bring the food - if you would trade with us of course - to the horses, as the young ones are extremely jumpy, and strange lands and people might be too much of a strain." Pausing for a moment, Dawali caught his breath, and looked to Bella for a second, glancing at Iskata who laid there calmly at the horse's feet. "It's not that I don't want to give you what you want, it's just that I don't know if we can afford it. Although, the two foals are outside of season, so they are sort of left over. They can't be given to you until they are large enough to eat by themselves and tolerate the absence of their mothers, though." Pausing another time, he added, more as a mental note, but it was definetely part of the conversation. "Then there's Bella, of course. She's not that old."
