Clearly the human didn’t understand that the old stallion just wanted to be left in peace. They had been driven from their home and hadn't been able to find a comfortable place to resettle.
As the human reached out, the stallion neighed threateningly. He stomped his hooves, coming precariously close to stepping on the human's foot, and then turned. It was time to leave this place. Clearly there was no food and the humans weren’t going to leave them be. This would not be their new home. He whickered at the herd and then began flapping his wings.
The herd followed suit, flapping their wings and snorted nervously. When the old stallion took off into the air, the rest of the herd followed suit.
Soon the square was empty of thestrals.
