Her brother's analysis of the situation was up to par, and Porsche clenched her jaw a bit as she tried to think of a good game for them to play. Sadly she seemed to have exaggerated a bit, she wasn't a game master so she didn't have games that she had created herself. But, she was there to entertain her brother, so hopefully she could pull a game that he liked. "Well, since you bring up flying and running, there is a game that doesn't require any of those! How about hide and seek? We can make a rule to stay in this general area, and basically just see if it works after a few rounds?"
Hm, it was a good try she supposed since she wasn't sure if Seyx had played that game yet. She used to play it when she was younger, so maybe Seyx would be interested in that sort of thing? "Have you ever played it? Basically each of us will hide from the other, and while one is hiding the other has closed eyes and is counting. So no one is disadvantaged in this type of game!" And that was important for her brother! Porsche was hoping to comply with his requests.
Ghost watched the interaction and decided it was best to not intrude. She instead took a step or two back and made a comfortable burrow on the soft grass. It was sort of fun to sit back and watch her children interact with each other, and there was no way she was going to ruin their fun! "Play nice you two!" she then said, with a happy grin. She had to admit, the relaxing time was rather nice as well, so she had no complaints!

"Hide and seek? Is that the one where you would cover your eyes and then you'd come and look for me and see how long it takes?" Seyx wasn't sure, but he THOUGHT that he'd may be heard of that game before, maybe even played it. But if so, it had to have been a LOOOOOOOOOONG time ago, because he and Spook and Shade didn't spend enough time together to play games like that much. But it sounded like fun, and unlike races, he ought to have an advantage over Porsche; HE was little, after all, and therefore better suited to hiding!
Without waiting for an answer to his question, Seyx started to run off, calling "Don't look for a WHILE, ok? Count good and high so's I have time to hide, but you'd better make sure to find me or else yell that you give up real loud! Oh, and yell when you're going to start looking, too, or else it won't count!"
As he was dashing off, though, a thought occured to him. Skittering to a stop, he turned and called back, "Are you playin' too, Mama? You can if you want to!" He'd gotten so carried away at the idea of a new game he hadn't even THOUGHT to ask his mother if she wanted to play; that was just rude. And if Mama wanted to play, more fun for all; if she DIDN'T want to play, at least he'd remembered to ask!

Ghost smiled at her son's quick words before he strode off to play, and she shook her head lightly before making a grand decision. "If that's alright Seyx, I think I might take a little snooze while you two play. I'd rather you spend some along time with your sister." And... a rest sounded GREAT! She was already burrowed in such a comfortable position that she knew she couldn't resist a moment like this. Maybe she was being selfish, but she was never selfish! Porsche would take care of her brother, and Ghost seriously had nothing to worry about.
And with that, she lowered her head lightly to grass while watching the two from the ground. "Have fun!"
Porsche was actually relieved to see her mother so relaxed, and she turned to her brother and winked energetically. "Yeah, we can have fun on our own, right! And I promise I won't look, see I'll turn around and close my eyes." And with that, she turned herself away from her brother and lowered her head, which then allowed for her long hair to cover her face. "Ok! I'll start counting."
She'd give him plenty of time, it was his first round afterall. Slowly and surely, she counted as the numbers dwindled around her brain. "THREE, FOUR..." she then said, while giggling slightly at herself. She hadn't played this game in ages, and she was totally excited. Hopefully her brother could have fun too.. so she made sure to give him lots of time to find a space to hide!

"Okay!" With the childish dismissal of a foal who didn't care one way or the other as long as he had his fun, Seyx took off running once again, trusting that Porsche would NOT look while he was hiding. And hiding was proving to be a lot more challenging than he might have thought, considering that most of the surroundings consisted of trees.
However, there were enough shrubs and tall grasses around to provide Seyx with options. Skittering from shrub to tree to thicket, he finally settled on a leafy thatch of undergrowth. Throwing himself flat on his stomach, he wiggled and wiggled until he was concealed (he hoped) from view...
And then there was nothing to do but wait! Oh, he couldn't wait to see Porsche's struggle to find him; this was a GREAT hiding place!

Porsche allowed a minute or two to roll by before finally moving herself to turn around. Before proceeding forward, she glanced down at her mother, who was already snoozing comfortably. "Rest well." she then whispered, before moving herself into a trot. Since they were out in an open grove, she decided to head more towards the trees since there were plenty of places to hide over there.
Once she had arrived, she tried to remain silent so she could hear any noises that her brother could make. She looked behind trees, stumps, or basically anything that was in front of her. She hustled and rushed back and forth, before finally stopping at a log and lowering her head to look in. Her brother was a frisky one, and she was impressed by his hiding spot.
"I wonder where you areee!" she then said, while striding forward slowly. She started approaching any bushes or shrubs that she could find, and she nosed in anything that looked like a potential spot. "I know you are close!"

His wings held tightly over his muzzle, Seyx was doing his best to stifle any giggles or snickers that Porsche's futile search was causing. But man, it was hard; he'd guessed his hiding place was good, but not THAT good!
Quivering with suppressed laughter as he was, it shouldn't have been much of a surprise that his hiding place was quivering as well; Seyx, however, was completley unaware of that fact, too pleased with the fact he'd been able to keep silent. This was the best game EVER!

Porsche darted to the moving bush, and yelled, "FOUND YOU!" she moved the bush out of the way and finally saw her laughing brother. "You did well, Seyx!! I totally couldn't find you! You are great at this game. Ok, now its my turn ok?" She then backed up a bit and plotted in her mind some ideas. "Are you ready to count? Keep your wings over your eyes too!"
And with that, she dashed off, trusting her brother would keep his eyes closed shut. But for now, she was more worried about where she would hide- Oooooh games. They really got her stressed but happy!

"Awwww, no fair!" Grumbling a bit, Seyx dragged himself out from under the shrub, shaking leaves and twigs off of his coat and dusting himself off with his wings. Still, he'd managed to make her hunt for him a good long time before finding him, so he couldn't write his hiding place off as anything but a success. Yeah, Porsche would have a lot to live up to in HER hiding spot.
Confident that he would be unrivaled in that department, he covered his eyes with his wings and flopped down on the ground, counting loudly. "ONE!"
This was so much fun! Next time, they'd definitely need to get Mama to play, too. Poor Mama, having to nap when she could play.

Porsche had an interesting idea, and since she was a tad too big for bushes, she decided to make her way up to a lower tree branch. When she safely made her way onto the large branch, she lowered her hooves to make sure it was sturdy, and then relaxed and realized she need to put her game face on. She'd have to focus and be quiet.. and she was definitely bad at both of those things. But it was for the good of the game!
Seyx was definitely a smart boy, so she was interested to see if he could find her up there! She decided to spice it up and try something interesting, so who knew what could happen! Quietly and surely, she waited for any sign of her scampering brother bellow her. She'd love watching him, and his color would definitely stick out below her!

"Ready or not!" Upon reaching what he felt was a suitably high enough number, Seyx scrambled to his feet, uncovering his eyes and taking a quick glance around before darting off. Porsche was bigger than him, so it stood to reason that he shouldn't have THAT much trouble finding her...he hoped.
He started by peering into the surrounding shrubs, then raced through the tall grass, bouncing like a deer in his quest to see if there was anyone possibly hiding there. Having satisfied himself on that score, he scuttled back around in a circle, chirping out "I'm gonna fiiiiiiiiiiind you! You can't hide from me, Porsche!"

She finally spotted her little brother below her, and a chirp of happiness escaped from her mouth. He looked so adorable, running back and forth frantically and around. She wondered if she should give him a hint, or someeething to help him out!
"Ka Kooooo!" she then yelled, as if making up a bird call. There, that was a good hint, wasn't it! She anxiously awaited what her brother would do next, and tried hard to stay still up on the tree branch.

Upon hearing the 'bird call', Seyx's first reaction was startlement, followed closely by curiousity. THAT was a neat sound, and he'd love to see the bird or animal that made that nosie!
Or rather, he would have if it was an actual creature. Upon turning his eyes treeward, his face lit up with recognition and amusement, and he ran to the tree, rearing up against the trunk and jumping in an effort to reach his sister. "Ha, I see you, Porsche, I SEE you! And you're not a bird, not at all, but that was a NEAT noise. Are there really birds that make noises like that, are there?"
If so, he'd definitely be interested in seeing one!

Hehee! Porsche laughed happily before slowly fluttering down from the tree's branch. "You found me! And was that noise as silly as it sounded?" Ah well, she tried, right? "I think birds are much prettier then that, but I guess there are some crazy ones out there too."
With a smile, she ruffled the top of Seyx's mane, before nodding once again towards her next words. "Now, what would you like to do, Seyx? Play another round, do something else, its your pick! You are the boss today, I am here to just play and have fun. So this is a treat for me." She winked once again before giggling lightly.
