Enyalius peered at Scarlet silently as she woke Sweetpea, what a stupid name for a stallion, and asked him to stick around. He flicked his ears and twitched his tail as Scarlet came over and started nudging her towards the small stream to get washed. Wing flexing he wondered along slightly ahead of the usida mare.
Enya flicked his tail as he wondered carefully down the trail towards the stream, sitting back slightly on his hocks, he had to give it to the little creatures, they must have been fairly sure-footed to make it up and down the rocky sides of the mountain. He felt much better upon reaching the stream, he let out a gruff snort happy to be off the slick trail.
The stream was icy cold with the onset of winter and the colt shuddered but trudged in anyway.

Scarlet hopped happily from one rock to the next, chattering all the way. "Today, I think Claude shall teach you the basics of flying, little baby. Yes, and he shall also teach you how to hunt, since he often goes off with our two legger Nenharma to hunt for the other two leggers." She then proceeded to nose dive into the stream. Surfacing she shook out her mane and splashed a little. "Nothing like cold mountain streams to wake up the body," she chirped happily. She raised her back foot, and, not unlike a dog, scratched behind her left ear. "Make sure to clean out your ears little one, all kind of bugs crawl up in there."

Enyalius did -not- like the cold water, and it was written on every inch of his face. He scowled all the way through her mussing and refused to to go any deeper than up to his knees. His wings quivered as his body shivered and her rumbled deep in his throat.
He was quick to go flying out of the water as soon as she was ready to go and shook as much as he could out of his coat. He was moving back up the trail then still huffing about the cold bath, ears turned back but not flat against his skull.
As soon as they were back to the camp he flopped down in his bed and started to roll slightly back and forth trying to scrub more of the wetness off his body.

Scarlet laughed at the foal in her usual, musical way. "Oh dear, I fear it does take some getting used to." Over near the camp fire everything but Scarlet's basket had been eaten. "Claude, darling," she called from Enyalius's side. She saw Claude's ears p***k from his lazy state near his bed. He lifted his great, red head and smiled at her. "Yeah mom?" "Darling, I need you to help Rutherford find some food. I don't think he likes fruits and grasses all that much." Scarlet did not miss the disgusted look on his face, and she knew Claude didn't miss her repremenditory glare. He chewed on the wheat grass blade and sighed his agreement. Scarlet nodded her satisfaction.

Enyalius opened one eye as he rolled back and forth to peer at Claude. He grunted "I can hunt on y own can't I?" He blinked innocently at Scarlet before he rolled back onto his stomach and rose quickly to his hooves. He turned before an answer could be given and started trying to pick his way down the trail his tail weaving back and forth as he hummed and murmured to himself.

Scarlet didn't have time to answer. "Oh... sugar. Claude, go make sure he stays safe," she instructed. Claude obeyed with a growl of dislike.
The little thing hadn't gone far before the bigger stallion caught up to him. "You know you're going to worry Mother crazy if you continue to wander off like that. She just wants you to be safe, and that why she instructed me to tag along." He knew hunting was instictual, as was, for the most part, flying.
