Staying alone with the little foal on her side she put all her attention towards her. Nuzzling her softly on the nose. "You know it's ok if you're scared, don't hesitate to tell us, we will always be by your side and your siblings too."
She smiled and then she looked towards the entrance of the teepee. "You know there is a lot of beautiful things outside, there is big tree, yummy berries, bird and butterfly, and other soquili. There is a lot of nice foal like you too."
Tamy for sure jumped outside as soon as his father told she could go. She winked a little because it was so different outside, there was grass everywhere, and on the other side so much trees, she guessed it was what was called a forest. She started jumping everywhere, trying already to catch a butterfly. But she took attention not going too far, she actually was a little nervous that the lioness would run after her.

Ijn nodded at her brother and watched as he and her sister left as well. With their presences gone what had felt so safe before no longer seemed that way at all. At her mother's touch she smiled feeling a bit better. "Mother..." She said softly looking up at the mare. "I'm scared now..." She could not place why this feeling had settled around her while her sibblings seemed fine. She couldn't even place why she was scared now.
This was her home and she was with her mother, shouldn't that make her safe? The outside was an unknown place so wouldn't that be more dangerous but for some reason right now it seemed like the best place to be.
Xantir stood guard outside watching in amusement as his black daughter chased after a little butterfly. He looked down to his side to find Jasper staring out at the world. It amazed him how different all three of his and Aeris' children were. They had experianced the same things as each other so far and had all come out behaving in different ways.
"Why don't you go play with your sister?" He suggested to his son wanting to see how well the two could play together. He didn't want to worry about fights breaking out between the foals. At this point it didn't seem likely but he needed to be sure.

Jasper was shaken out of his awe by his father and he seized upon the opportunity with joy. He bounded over to where his sister stood, and gazed in open curiosity at the creature that his sister was chasing through the air. It was obviously not like them, as Jasper didn't think he could fly, so he wasn't sure what it was. Without a second though, he raced back to where Xantir stood, talking the entire way.
"Dad! Dad! Dad! What is that? That thing that Tamy is chasing?" he said, eagerly pointing with his nose toward the butterfly. As he did so, his attention was caught by another bug zooming past his nose. He stood there, obviously startled speechless for a moment, before he continued his questions.
"DAD, that too! What was that? It went right past my nose!"

Aeris put the little foal even closer to her. Staring at her with her green eyes. Look like this little one come out maybe a little too early. "It's alright if you're scary, it's a normal thing. You just come out of your basket, there is so much new stuff arround you."
Looking towards the entrance again she added "I will always protect you, and your dad too, he is still here, look the entrance, he stood in front, like this no one can enter to harm you."
Tamy didn't pay attention anymore, after the butterfly she saw something jumping in the grass, something green but not grass for sure, what was that ? She lowered her body and started walking, or much crawling after it.

Xantir chuckled at his son's curious enthusiasm. "That's a butterfly." He answered looking to the bug Tamara had been chasing. He was caught off guard by the next question as he hadn't seen what had gone zipping past. He blinked and looked around hopping for some sign of it but could see nothing. "Well it was either a bee or a fly..." He said finally, reasoning that those were the two fastest and most common insects around.
With the question answered to the best of his ability he looked up and noticed the absence of a certain black daughter. He took a few steps away from the teepee and found her stalking something in the grass. He shook his head with a smile deciding not to bother her until she got a bit further away. She was still easy enough to keep track of here.
It was normal? Even just being out of her basket for such a short time that didn't seem to fit. Her brother and sister had just emerged as well but neither of them were scared.
She gave her mother a slightly uncertain look but smiled at her eventually. It was good to know that they would both protect her but she still didn't feel entirely safe being in here with just her mother. It felt too much like something was wrong or missing. "Right outside...?" She questioned nervously as she peered around her mother to look at the entrance.
Taking a deep breath she crept closer to the outside before quickly poking her head out. The bright light stung her eyes for a minute and she wanted to go back inside but she was already half way out. She picked out her father standing and ran to his side quick as lightning with her eyes squeezed shut.
He blinked as he felt something run into his side. He looked down and found his youngest daughter standing there with her eyes tightly closed. "Hello Ijn..." He said softly trying not to scare her then looked back to the teepee expecting to see Aeris standing there.

Jasper nodded, satisfied that he had a name to fit the two creatures that he had seen. How different and strange they were! How exciting! He was about to ask his father other questions, when he noticed him head back to the teepee. Jasper shrugged and continued to explore. He caught sight of his sister stalking something in the grass, and he bounded over to see what she had find.
"Tamy! Tamy! What did you find?" he asked enthusiastically as he peered at his sister. He followed her gaze to a small creature jumping through the grass, the same color as the foliage around it. Eyes growing wide, he joined his sister in the stalking of the strange creature. He was determined to find out what it was.

Before Aeris was able to say a word, the little one was on her legs walking outside. "It is time" she thought. Then she stood up and followed her outside. Her little girl ran towards her father really quickly, but well she was courageous enough right now.
The mare looked at her mate and smiled, she come close to them too, to see how the two others managed their discovery of the world.
Tamy come close to the little things, she could almost touch it, but then her brother come and the frog jumped away.
She looked Jasper with angry eyes, but not for long. "Don't be so noisy it will run away"
Then she focus again on the frog as his brother joined her side. "I don't know what is it, but we will catch it for sure" she said full of joy.

Xantir fondly returned his mate's smile with one of his own. He wasn't sure what she had down but whatever it was it had worked. "They're doing well." He said without prompting in reference to their children who were playing in the grass. Giving a nod he turned his attention to finding the little rascals that had wandered off. He spotted them not too far away stalking something in the grass. The sight made him chuckle.
"Ijn...go play..."He said gently giving her a nudge towards the other two. He wasn't sure how well she would take to it but Aeris had gotten her outside it seemed like it would be a waste if she didn't at least see a few of the creatures that lived around.
The little filly squeaked in fear at her father's suggestion. She had thought she was doing very well for coming outside she didn't want to put herself in greater danger then she already had. She shook her head frantically, her bright eyes going wide, before shrinking away to hide.
She would watch from a distance. That would be enough, right?

Jasper felt chagrined when his sister turned on him with angry eyes and he resolved to be as quiet as possible. Crouching low in the grass, he stalked the green amphibian with her, wondering what it was. He shared her joy for the discovery and the chase.
"Yes, we will definitely catch it! And maybe then we will find out what it is," he whispered happily. He was distracted for a moment by the sound of his father's voice from nearby. Jasper turned and saw that Ijn had joined them outside. He was sad that she felt so scared of joining them outside. Resolving to share the experience of chasing the frog with them, he pranced over to his sister, smiling kindly.
"Hey there, Ijn! Tamy and I found something to chase. A strange green thing moving through the grass. Why don't you come over and see it with us! You don't have to get too close if you don't want to, but it is very funny looking and I think you might like it. We're trying to find out what it is!"
Jasper hoped that Ijn would feel safe enough around her siblings that she could play with them.

Aeris nodded. "Yeh i see it, look like they find something interresting to play with." She knew it was a frog, but for sure it was a new thing for them.
She laid down on the grass, she knew there will be nothing bad which will happen right now, and Xantir was by her side. So she just sat and watched them, wishing her little girl will join the game.
Tamy looked her sister as well, she hoped she will join them and was thankful to Jasper for moving towards her. She looked back at the frog. The little things moved during the few seconds she watched away. "Don't think you will get away" she said softly, moving after it.
"Come Jasper, Ijn, i can't handle it alone" she said to her siblings, actually she was sure she could but it will be better with them.

Ijn stood still for a moment looking from her brother to her sister unsure of what to do. She wanted to go play but they were after a 'strange green thing'. What if it was dangerous? They could all get hurt. Then it crossed her mind that if she didn't help it was more likely that the other two would be injured.
"A-alright..." She said softly moving from her father's side to her brother's. "B-but...when we figure it out...let's leave it...alone." She smiled hoping that they would listen to her before moving slowly to Tamara's side to get a better look at what was hiding in the grass. She blinked as she realized that Jasper's description had been quite accurate. It was, in fact, a strange green thing. She bowed her head to get a better look her curiosity overpowering her fear. "What is it?"
Xantir leaned down and nuzzled his mate affectionately before straightening to keep a watchful eye on the foals. He was pleased to see them all playing together. It made him feel like everything was right.

((Hey guys! I'm SO sorry it has taken me so long to reply. I accidentally deleted all of my bookmarks and I lost the link. I'm so sorry! ^^; wink )
Jasper grinned happily, glad that Ijn felt brave enough to join them. He was proud of his sister for facing her fears. He directed a kind grin her way before turning his attention back to the green creature. He stared at it intently, as if willing it to give up its secrets.
"I'm not sure. I wonder why it can move so quickly though. And strangely. It doesn't seem to walk like us at all." He watched the amphibian move up and down and up and down in the tall grass. Eventually, his curiosity became too much for him. He simply had to know what the mysterious creature was and why it was so different. The only way to find out though was to turn to the expert.
"DAD! DAD! DAD!!!!! What is this thing?"

Tamy was smiling when she saw her little trap worked. With both her sibling on her side she was sure the moment will be great.
"Well i don't know, but i don't think we can eat it for sure"
But suddenly Japser yelled to their father and the little green thing ran away quickly. "Ohh Jasper, why did you scream like that".
The mare heart was beating faster, her little girls finally joined the others. "Oh look Xantir, Ijn finally takes a step ahead". She was daydreaming a little when Jasper voice resonnated on her ears. "Oh he has good voice" she laughed. Daddy your son call you."

Ijn watched the strange creature curiously for a moment before her brother shouted. Her ears pinned back against her skull and she jumped. Her brother was so loud, it was very startling. She looked back to the grass to locate the green thing again but found it had gone missing. She smiled, somehow it was a relief.
"We...could go somewhere closer to home...and find another..." She suggested. She liked being with her siblings and she did want to know what they had found but she liked the inside better then the outside.
"It seems that way." He said with a smile before stretching slightly. "And I hear him...it would be hard not to." He chuckled a bit and crossed the short distance to where the children were playing. He smiled at the three of them each separately before focusing on Jasper. "What is what now?"
