With his peace spoken, Button buried his head again, waiting on the inevitable sound of hoofsteps to let him know the three mares were leaving.  It took a bit, but he slowly heard Sweetie get up from where she had been lying down and start moving.  He was somewhat surprised as he heard the hoofsteps getting louder, then suddenly stop right in front of him.  He heard what sounded like a pony laying back down, followed by the sensation of two hooves lying on his own.
