"I was missing?"
She laughed softly as she caught up and stopped beside Acheron. "Unlike you we had to take the long way. We should be complaining that you didn't wait for us." She nudged his shoulder before looking to the other stallion. "Hello. You must be Mordecai?"
He nodded at the other mare before looking back at Nyx. "You were looking for me?" He fluffed out his wings for a moment as he wondered why she would have been looking for him.

"Someone had to come down here to make sure our prey didn't get away." He couldn't help but smirk as he leaned down, brushing his cheek against Kalosyni's neck... Only to realize what he'd done and quickly step back for propriety's sake.
"No... And no..." She was beginning to wonder if this all wasn't some sort of big mistake. Mordecai didn't exactly seem happy that she was here. "I wasn't looking for you... I was thinking of you... Then I met Kalosyni and then Acheron showed up and then..."

She inched closer to Acheron and tried not to snicker. "They're .. cute" she spoke quietly hoping that neither Mordecai or Nyx would notice.
"Then they brought you down to find me?" He tilted his head and grinned. Stepping forward he reached out with a wing and tucked a strand of Nyx's mane out of her eyes. "I should have visited sooner. Couldn't find you in the forest."

"Good thing we found him." He murmured softly in return after brushing his muzzle against her ear. He would have hated to see the disappointment on Nyx's face had Mordecai not been visiting the beach today.
She nodded slowly as Mordecai finished the rest of her rambling sentence for her, making it much easier than letting her continue on her own. "The snow was so deep that I couldn't go far... But my wings are bigger now!" She smiled brightly as she spread them for emphasis, each set fanning out carefully before folding back down.

"It wouldn't have been as nice if he wasn't here. I'm sure she'd have been sad." She nodded as she turned her head to look at the other stallion.
"They're better than mine. Still too big." He stretched his out before tucking them back carefully. "Bulky." he shifted and nudged her cheek with his nose. "Told you you'd grow up into them and they'd be big and pretty"

She closed her eyes, leaning in to turn the touch of nose to cheek into a gentle nuzzle. "I think your wings are wonderful, Mordecai. They're just the right size."
"..." His brow lofted slightly and he couldn't help but chuckle as he shook his head, stretching his wing out to teasingly block Kalosyni's view of the other two. "Would you like to go for a walk along the surf? The sun should have warmed the waves up a bit..."

She huffed at the wing in her view before she looked back at Acheron. "That sounds nice. We haven't gone on a walk in a while and certainly not along the beach" Mostly because he had said that he didn't really like the water since it got in his wings.
"They're oversized." he nodded and grinned at her. "Though they are warm .... were you warm?" He was referring to the night they had curled up in the forest but she could have easily missed that.

"Then let's go for a walk." He pulled his wing back after brushing the tips of feathers against her nose, leading her down closer to the surf so that their words would be masked by the sounds of the sea, as would the conversation of the other two. "The little birds look like they have a lot to catch up on."
"I was." She smiled, opening her eyes to look up at him as she stepped back. A light snow had fallen as they slept and his feathers had kept her shielded from it. It had been so pretty to wake up in a world of white.
"You didn't stay long though... Then more snow came that night after I made it back home... It stayed for such a long time." Her brow furrowed slightly as she glanced down, thinking about the snow. It had been so hard to not tell her mother about her second meeting with Mordecai during that time.

She kicked at the water lightly as they walked. "It is a bit warmer. Not as cold as i'd expected it to be with all the snow." She looked down at the way it rippled over the shells in the sand.
"Snow made it hard to move around." He nodded and shuffled his wings back into a comfortable position. "Would have come looking but couldn't get far."
The snow had made it almost impossible for him to get around with the weight of his wings. They were good for keeping warm but they weren't good as plows.

"We used to play in the surf a lot when we were younger... Ela always liked the see and we liked to make sure that she was happy." He closed his eyes for a moment, tilting his head towards the sound of the waves lapping at the shore.
"No one could get far. I stayed with my mother." She nodded slowly before looking up to him once more. "You weren't too cold, were you?"

"You as you and your brother?" she still hadn't met that family member and wondered where he was. "It is good you take care of her. Brothers are suppose to take care of their sisters i hear"
"Mostly." It was a little cold and the cold made his wings stiff but it was fine now that it was warmer. "Sun's nice now. Cold's not as bad as it was."

"Yes." Keeping an eye out for Ela had been one of the few things that he and his brother had agreed on... If they agreed on anything else at all. Ela had been the one to keep them from arguing on several occasions. "Yes on both accounts."
"The sun has been nice..." She nodded once more as her words trailed off when she realized that they'd been left alone... But not really alone. Acheron and Kalosyni were still nearby and she hoped that neither of them would leave without saying good bye.
"So..."

"That is good." She nodded and looked out over the water. She only had sisters but they did take care of each other with they could. She thought she'd like to have a brother to be strong and take care of her or .... or maybe just a stallion.
"The sun's always been nice." When it was out at least. He was waiting for that fabled spring to come around so that things would stop being so cold and he could be warm most of the time rather than just occasionally.
"Your grew more ... prettier like you said your mama said you'd be"

He watched the waves for a moment before he turned his head just enough that he could watch the mare standing beside him. After a moment he flexed his wings, bringing a tip up to brush a strand of dark mane away from her face. "... You've got that look again. Seashell for your thoughts?"
"It is." She nodded once more. The sun was especially nice now that her wings were larger; soaking up more heat to keep her warm throughout a better part of the evening.
His next words caught her by surprise as she looked up to him. "I..." She smiled as she glanced back down at the sand between their hooves. "... Thank you, Mordecai."

"I was just thinking .... " She looked down at the waves lapping at her hooves for a moment before she looked over to Acheron. "It must be nice to have a stallion, brother or not, around to keep you safe and make sure you smile"
"Your coat shimmers" He nodded and reached out with his nose to nudge her shoulder. "Like the snow ... blanketed in night." The second part of his statement was targeted at the mares wings since they reminded him of the night sky.
