He didn't say hi, because he didn't want to scare the little guy off. It was one thing to be next to a big sleeping creature, and quite another to be next to it when it was awake... Skyfire had learned that through his interactions with smaller beings time and time again. The foal was only a baby too, and he didn't want to panic it.

It would seem that he'd been right about his thoughts on the foal's reaction, since as soon as the little guy saw Skyfire watching him with those large eyes of his... The foal froze and started to back away looking rather frightened.

He was however, backing up towards Minako and Skyfire stayed as still as possible hoping that she might have better luck making friends with the little one.
