Tooki walked by the river, following the few fish that swam by with his eyes. He glanced down at the river bed, looking for the shiny rocks he'd seen there before. Maybe his human could help him make a charm or something. He could add shells too, he thought.
The stallion paused and looked up, glancing at his surroundings. He'd hoped maybe his father would be up river today. Sometimes he was lucky and ran into him. Though, today he'd be happy to see anyone.
Tooki was bored...

Senjin had been exploring again. The drive to find something interesting was still plaguing him and so far all he had seen were rocks and trees. Soon his travels took him to the river which he sniffed at. "Well ah guess this be a good a direction as any..." he mused to himself before turning and trotting along the bank of the river. It wasn't until he was much further down that the landscape becan to change into the more beach look, he was nearing the end of the river...

It was where the sand began to soften and pebbles began to fade that the mother and son duo could be found. It was warm outside, with just enough clouds out to keep the sun from being too harsh. And the soft, constant sound of waves made it a cozy location to relax. Exactly what the mother was doing, with her legs bent under her as she lay upon the ground watching her child. And the youth dashed back and forth, causing a spectrum of glitter and splashes as his hooves broke through the shallow water. His first visit to the water's front...

Tooki looked to the sound of splashing. There seemed to be a foal playing in the water further down the river. He walked that way, noticing a mare close by. Must be his mother, the stallion thought.
He decided to call out to them, so he wouldn't startle them, "Hello? Nice day for it."

Ahah! Others! Sen'jin trotted a little faster towards the small group. There was a stallion, a mare and a foal and they... looked familiar? The troll shrugged, The foal reminded him of his brother but he had never seen the mare or the stallion before. "Must be ah coincidence..." he muttered to himself before curiosity got the best of him and he called out, "Heya there! How ya be doing?"

The sound of the other voices sparked Ai'Jin's curiosities, and she gave up trying to find her apple in the thick branches of the bush it rolled under to gallop fast as she could back to her mother and brother. Her gaze met first those she was familiar with before it strayed between the other stallions that neared, first towards Tooki and then towards Sen'Jin.
"Manji!" She called out excitedly to her brother as she bound towards him, fit to burst with excitement. "Look't that one! He's got tusks too!"

Sumi flicked her ears and eyes up as the new voice made itself known, and with a whinny she called Manjii to her. She hadn't expected any visitors today at the waterfront, and was grateful when her son complied and stayed near. Making to stand, the mare halted when she realized something. "T...Tooki? Is that you?" It had been a long time since she'd seen the other at the river. Did that same river lead him here?
"Tokey? What's that?" The young colt barely had time to find out for himself, before another voice called out. Short mane flicked in his face as he turned to see the stranger. "Oh! Loo-" Interrupted again, the boy oophed as his lil sis bumped beside him suddenly. "Watch it Ai. And I knoooow, I can see 'em too! They look just like yours!" 8o

Tooki blinked when he realized who the mare was, "Set...Setsumi? Been awhile."
He looked at the foals, then blinked again. They had tusks, and those markings. He didn't doubt they were related. He looked back at the mare, blushing. "We only met that one time...."
The stallion was flustered by the foals, and didn't notice the other stallion walking up.
(yes, tooki can be that dumb)

The chatter grew louder as another foal joined the small herd. Sen'jin noticed the little filly admire his tusks and he thrust them out in front of him. He noticed that, even though she was still young she had a nice set of tusks of her own. Was she a troll to? He didn't remember hearing about a new family of trolls... Shaking his head for a moment he decided to wait and see before asking. The troll didn't want to appear foolish by asking such a seemingly obvious question

Ai'Jin's frame trembled with excitement as she looked between the stallions, despite her curiosity to know who they were she remained at Manji's side. "They gotta be related, ya?" she near whispered, so excited now that she was rather losing control of her voice, which trailed off in giggles as she finished her question. She glanced between the closer one and her mother, her hooves meeting the ground in quick stomps before she darted to bring herself just within feet of Sen'Jin, her eyes wide and full of awe as she looked up to him, his form far larger than it looked from where she stood with her brother, which startled her curiosity silent for a moment. "Are...Are my tusks gunna get that big too?"

Part of the foal was worried his mother and siblings were in trouble, but that was quickly overtaken by the intense need to be the one the strangers were interested in. Quickly forgetting about the cardinal, for that's what it was, Zul'Aolani turned tail and rushed back towards the others; coming to a full stop just beside his sister and a stallion that looked remarkably like his father. "Move it, Ai, I wanna see!"
Meanwhile, as Rok was taking after his son to be sure the boy didn't harm or kill himself, he heard the voices first. Ears flicking backwards in order to hear the voices better, he was starting to turn just as the form of his loudest child bolted past him. Following his son, again, the blue of the other stallions slowly came into view followed by the actual stallions themselves.
It was his brother, and... Who was that? Squinting eyes against the sun to peer at the other male, Rok's own tusked muzzle broke into a grin. He'd never met Tooki personally, but he vaguely remembered descriptions of the children his older sister had given birth to with a water soq of some kind.
Coming to a stop beside Sumi, he gave her a light nuzzle before nodding once to both Sen'jin and his nephew.

Manjii' shrugged. "How should aye know? They...look related, just bigger." 8o He gave a quirked brow to his sister's odd reactions. Well sure he was curious too, but he wasn't near ready to jump outta his skin about it. Then she darted off and he had to blink to realize it. "Aye! Wait up!" Kicking up black hooves, the boy followed after the girl before another distraction hit his sight. "Zul's here too!" He ran all the faster on his wobbly legs, chewing and tugging his brother's tail once he reached it. Then he huffed and turned to look at the adult. "And who ya be Mister?" >8C
Setsumi nodded with a small smile. "It has been, it's nice to see you again Tooki." Though she did have to quirk a brow to his comment. "And....what about since then?..." The mare turned her attention to the two little ones, nearly ready to yell out to them. Afterall, she still didn't know the other stranger, even if his features were familiar. But then she heard her second son appear, and perked ears in delight to see Rokhan soon following. She returned the nuzzle, the scent and touch helping to calm her. It had been almost overwhelming to see so many strangers at one moment.

Tooki glanced to the other two stallions, then it dawned on him, "Ohh...they belong to one of them...."
He looked between them, tilting his head. He shifted from hoof to hoof, trying to figure out who these two stallions could be. "Are you two related to my mother?"

Sen'jin could hardly believe his luck! With the arrival of his brother all the pieces fell into place. This was not a new troll family, this was his troll family! With a wider grin than before he skipped into the group and snorted with laughter. "Little brother, ah be seeing ya got yaself quite an interesting horde! Mah congratulations there." He beamed at the little ones as if they were his own before turning to the filly after over hearing her. "If ya grow big an' strong ya tusks will to." He nodded solemnly before the twinkle returned to his eye and he gazed at the small impromptu family gathering. "Man, if only Mother was here, she'd love t' see t' little ones." He knew she had been planning on catching up with him later as they had plans for the evening shaman training but he wasn't sure when she was thinking of arriving. It was then he heard Tooki's comments. "Ahh yes, we be related... That be mah brother," he nosed towards Rokhan, "An ya Mother be mah older sister." the troll grinned toothily once more.

Ai'Jin let out an excited little sound and followed after Sen'jin, moving to wedge herself between her parents so that she may continue to look over the other stallion, her eyes following back and forth between the one speaking and the ones he spoke to. "Oooh...we're all related then?" Her question came on a giggle as she peered between the brothers and their nephew, her eyes moving after her brothers before she burst from between Rokhan and Setsumi to headbutt Zul'Aolani hard and take shelter behind 'Manji, repeating to her brothers what she'd heard whether they caught the information themselves or not.
