"Hurry, Aruna!" said the hyperactive, excited voice of a golden colored stallion as he zipped across the fields. "I haven't seen my baby brother in such a long time, and ever since you returned home I've been dying to visit some family!" Hania cantered across the area as he slowed down slightly to look back to his daughter who shook her head at him, but there was a smile in her sharp golden eyes as she trotted after him, followed by his grand-niece, Mocha. Mocha was flying, of course, and was laughing overhead.
Aruna rolled her eyes at her father as she took her own pace, seeing Mocha's shadow above her as her niece flew around cheerfully. She shook her head, knowing that Mocha was just excited to see her mother, brother, grandfather, etc. as they traveled to go and greet them in the other home. Her father was especially excited considering he cared deeply for Orchu, whom was his most cherished younger (and only) brother. She wasn't sure how many family members Hania "adopted", but she knew that it was a lot. Thinking about Mocha led to thoughts of her favorite little cousin Nora, who had beaten her in getting kids, but then again, Aruna didn't really mind.
Mocha laughed at her grand uncle as he sped across the fields with her more calm aunt followed after him, since both of them amused her to no end. Aruna was so different from Hania Mocha wondered how Hania could have raised such serious children; all three (well, she wasn't sure about the youngest, Artemis, but then again, she didn't know that one well) seemed to have developed differently from their parents. Now that she thought about it, she and her brothers, too, had grown up differently from their parents. Excited now to see her mother, she called out to her two adopted family members to hurry up.

Orion sauntered around the meeting sight, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the rest of his family. 'Man, it's just been too long since we all got together. The last time was probably when I was stuck in that cramped little basket.' He took a quick glance back to the path he used that led from their teepee. He had been so excited earlier that he had run ahead of his mother and grandfather in his eagerness to see the others. 'Oops,' he thought sheepishly, wondering how far back they still were.
His eyes lighted up as he saw the start of the rest of their little clan coming from the side, cantering up to the group with a noticeable grin. "Yo, sis. Miss me?"

"Orion there is no need to hurry..." The stallion shook his head; annoyed that his repirmand had gone unheard upon his grandson's ears. Orchu tilted his head to peer at the bear whom was sitting upon his back. "You think he wouldn't be quite so excited." He shook his head once again. "Besides; the others won't be there yet as it is."
Rami released a light growl before nodding as the soquili spoke to him. The black bear pondered a moment and gave a shake of his head; causing the two feathers attatched to his ear the flap about.
Orchu sighed again. That young stallion is so unlike his mother. He wasn't sure this was a good or bad thing however; Orchu loved his daughter Nora very much and he was incredibly proud of her. The stallion greatly adored his grandchildren; though he had rarely seen them before; except for Orion whom dwelled in the teepee with Nora and himself.
Nora rolled his eyes playfully behind her father as he mumbled to Rami. The pair; Orchu and Rami, had become quite inseperable. The mare snorted lightly; causing her head to shake as well as the beads adornign her braids to rattle pleasantly. Orchu and Nora approached the meeting area; noticing that already the entire party was there. Nora heard Orion greet her daughter Mocha; and she trotted swiftly over. "Mocha." Nora nudged her daughter gently and lovingly before eyeing Orion. "Next time your grandfather is speaking you had best listen son." She grinned a tad whilst scolding him.
Noticing that Nora was busy greeting her daughter Orchu headed over towards Hania and Aruna. "Hania my dear brother it has been far too long!" A large smile was upon the stallion's face; he then nodded to Hania's daughter. "Aruna my neice you are looking wonderful. It's always a pleasure to see you as always."

It was all he could do to keep from tackling his younger brother, who had developed into a more serious, dignified adult self as Hania smiled and greeted his beloved brother Orchu. "Far too long indeed!" Hania exclaimed, curly tail flicking due to his surge of happiness. He glanced around, and felt somewhat terrible since he had never met any of Orchu's family except his granddaughter Mocha. "So, my dear brother, introduce me to your other family?" he asked, a sheepish twinkle in his eyes.
Aruna's mouth twitched as she watched her cousin greet Mocha, and then she noticed her uncle. "Uncle Orchu!" she said, a true smile breaking broadly across her face. "Thank you; you're looking well yourself. It's always great to see you whenever we get the chance to visit." She cocked her head and somewhat grinned at Orion. Nora's children were completely sporadic, but totally lovable. They were hard not to love, and besides, it was time she got to know her nephew. Hania wanted grandchildren though, so she hoped to introduce Delano to the entire family one day.
Mocha grinned as she swooped down upon spotting her brother Orion. "Hey, Orion!" she called cheerfully as he trotted up to her. "Of course I missed you! Did you miss me?" And then she spotted her grandfather along with her mother, and she nuzzled Nora back lovingly as she smiled at her grandfather, who looked rather happy to see grand-uncle Hania and aunt Aruna, though she preferred to focus her attention on her brother and mother for the moment. "How are you?" she asked happily, eager to speak of new news for the family to catch up on together.

Orion smiled broadly, circling his sister in excitement. "Me, miss you? Never," he said with a laugh. "Joking, joking. How could I not miss my dearest and only sister? Even though we saw each other like… yesterday."
He eyed the other two that accompanied his sister, trying to place a name with a face. He gave a mental cry of distress as his mind came up blank. 'Nuu~,' he whined to himself, feeling horrible that he couldn't even recognize who was most likely family. 'Before today is over, I'll know everything about them,' he thought with ardor, determined to get to know the rest of his family.
His spun around though, as he heard the others great his approaching mother and grandfather. "Took you guys long enough," he said as he took a few steps forward, his face breaking out into a mischievous grin. "Getting slow with old age there, grandaddy?"

Orchu grinned at his older brother. "Of course." The stallion motioned his head towards where Nora and her children were greeting one another; graciously signally for Hania and him to make their way towards the three soquili. He glared at his grandson as the snide comment escaped the young stallion. "Perhaps I may be slow; yet I am positive I could most certainly out run you Orion." His grandson had no right to degrade his elder by calling him slow. I may be old yet my legs and wings are as strong as ever. Orchu felt pride within himself; he was very active for his own age. Or at least he felt so; he refused to be one of those soquili who just lay down and lazily sleep the day away or something of that nature.
Rami snickered devilishly when Orchu answered Orion; his laughter passed quickly however and he chose to slide down off of Orchu's back when the stallion came to a stop beside Mocha. The bear ambled around the group for a few moments before chewing on Aruna's long tail in boredom.
"Orion." Nora's voice scorned. The mare smiled sheepishly at Hania. "You of course must be Hania. My father often talks of you." She gave a knowning grin to Aruna. If father talks about Hania quite that often I'd think it'd be safe to assume Hania talks in quite the same manner about Orchu. Nora chuckled inwardly to herself. "I am fine darling." She noded while responding to her daughter. "Aunt Aruna has been keeping an eye on you I trust?" She smiled lightly.

Hania chuckled as Orchu reprimanded his grandson, whom he overheard was named Orion. Cocking his heard curiously, he grinned widely at Orion. "You must be Mocha's brother. I'm Hania, your grandfather's older brother. A pleasure to meet you, Orion..." He turned to look over Nora and grinned. "Definitely your father's daughter. You must be Nora! Aruna's told me about you. Pleasure to meet you as well, my niece."
Aruna grinned at Nora with an indicating twinkle in her eye. "So this is your son Orion? He's very much like Mocha..." Aruna hid a chuckle as she listened to the conversation between Orchu and Orion, ears twitching about the speed the stallions were matched at. Shaking her head, she could only hide her laughter as she rolled her eyes, whispering to Nora, "...Males will be males."
Mocha was mostly quiet other than greeting her mother because this would be the first time she met her grandfather in a long while, and Orchu's serious nature made her uncomfortable from time to time. At the moment though, she felt a bit more relaxed since she knew Orchu loved his brother Hania dearly and felt her grandfather would feel more playful. She hoped. "Grandpa, grandpa! Do you wanna race?" she felt that her brother would probably want to, too, and so asked him as well. "Orion, you'd like a race too, wouldn't you? With me and Grandpa?"

Orion pouted at his grandfather's rebuke. "Aww, lighten up, gramps. You know I was joking. Besides, you can out run anyone, and you know it. I almost wish you'd let me win at least once." He faked a melancholy expression as he continued, "Don't you love me anymore~?" He almost finished his act with a childish wail but thought better, deciding to shift his eyes into a crestfallen gaze.
He winked as his mother followed by a grin at her stern tone. "I love you?" He snickered to himself as he ambled quickly over to his sister, saving himself from his mother's possible wrath.
"Of course I want to race," he said with a grin. "I'll trounce you this time though, sis." He shifted in delight, his hooves patting onto the ground as he trotting around excitedly. "Let's go, let's go, let's go~"
