Everything went quiet between the four.Sigh 'Calon motioned for his mother to lay beside him.She did seem a bit weaker than before."Akuba was with my mother,then he left her and did stuff with this other mare after me and Stripe were born.Mom told us that dad had a couple more kids,but we never met them."Looking back up to them he then became quiet himself.Letting them think over what he had said.They seemed to not believe him one bit,he just wish they would because he was Akubas son.'Calon lowered his head to Niele as she started to shake."Its okay,we'll find him soon,i'm sure of it."
Niele nodded slowly as she shook just a tiny bit."Do..you two believe us?"She said very softly that came out to almost a whisper.Her eyes showed that she'd been crying,i guess you could say she was emotionally ill.Niele had just kept walking and looking for him for days on end without rest.Looking up to them she gave a small smile."If you don't,then its still a pleasure of meeting you two."

Symphony stood and listened to the slander of her beloved father, she had never known him to be as described. She looked at the strangers in awe and squinted her eyes thinking.
'What? Did stuff? What stuff?' Symphony tried her best not to look disgusted. 'That's our mum he's talking about. I wonder if he ever met her.' Symphony looked almost offended. 'That makes dad sound a monster.'
Accalon's point of view wasn't what she'd been told, her dad was sweet and caring, a lovely stallion who'd never leave, he brought them up himself.
Symphony looked at Niele with caution. 'My dad is not a bad stallion.' She gave a pouty face. 'She lives by the river, I thought she'd've known the way to our teepee.' She shrugged. 'Strange.'

Sonnet was rather proud of himself when he kept his face blank through everything they had said, not one flicker of emotion had shown on his face. He was mostly proud of this because he was far from feeling peaceful as he seemed. Turning enough so that Sym could see his face, his expression shifting then, trying to express to her what he wanted to say, biting his tongue, so badly wanting to say things in response to her words. All this showed on his face to Sym alone, it fading before he turned back to the others, once again showing a cool and calm exterior.
"Akuba... That doesn't sound anything like the stallion we know... Perhaps you are thinking of a different Akuba?" His tone light and curious, how they were talking of his father was as Sym had thought, nothing like the Stallion they both called dad. Then again he was puzzled why she had been so upset what they said about their mother, they didn't know her and were better off without a mother to his thinking. His eyes flickering over the scene before him, the mare who he assumed was this Accalon's mother seemed to need more caring for than a foal. Looking at Sym again shrugging, something not seeming right at all about this.

Sighing deeply he listened to his words.But it was true,he left and never came back.Not a soul that was near them knew where he was.Looking at them both he spoke softly."He's a great guy,he's a great father.He'd take of his children before himself."He wanted to see if they knew about what happened when he was a colt.Maybe then they'd know."Did Akuba ever tell you about him almost dieing to save this colt?"He asked with almost a whisper.It killed him everyday since then,Akuba could've died and his mother would still be in worser condition that she was now.'Calon knew his mother would know about the story.Flicking his tail slightly,he tried to understand why they didn't know this side of him.Accalon huffed slightly."He wouldn't hurt a soul unless he was needed to.I know him,you just don't know us because he never had us meet."
Niele looked up at them as they all spoke."Indeed he is right.He isn't such a bad man at all,he's like everyone else and has their flaws."Standing slowly she bobbed her head at Sy."Do you know where he might be?"Niele asked softly."I just want to see him again."When she heard Accalon mention the time when he was a colt,it made her frown.But one plus thing,Accalon and Akuba became closer a while after that and grew back that father son figures together.It took quite a bit of time,but it happened.

Symphony didn't understand them, one moment he seemed to be such a baddie and the next a hero, what were they saying? When Niele asked her a question she just starred back bemused. Sym didn't know what do to, she just opened her mouth, hesitated and closed it again. Sym took a step back standing a bit closer to her brother, shyness had finally found her.
The strangers confused her and she didn't like it very much, she just looked at them both unsure of what to say to her brother. The spoke as if he were a lost pet, not a person. She looked to him and for a while it seemed as if it had no knock on effect. She just anted to go home and snuggle up to her sister or just go and collect the berries, she had no idea why they wanted her farther or what they wanted from them.

A small frown appearing on Sonnets face again, not liking how upset Sym seemed to be getting. His 2 wings closest to her opened out long and wide, resting over Sym's back and keeping her close, it was a very protective gesture, noting her silence with a sigh. Leaning in and nuzzling her gently, wanting to reassure her, he was there, he wouldn't let anything happen to her. Though he didn't know it, he was sharing her confusion, then again he was confused over a few things and it wasn't just what they were saying that did it.
Looking up from where he had nuzzled Sym, looking at the female, though there was little point. "We do not know where this Akuba is." His voice even as the falsehood slipped off his tongue. He wasn't going to help them find his dad, he didn't like to see Sym upset, only able to imagine how upset Akuba would be if he were a fly on the wall. No this he would not help them with, his dad was happy and all the time that was the case Sonnet would not do anything to jepordise it. Not that he would keep this from his dad, he would tell everything that had gone on, he just wouldn't be helpful to the strangers until he knew it wouldn't make his father sad or angry, though Akuba would probably not be happy to know Sym was upset.

"Maybe we do..."Accalon sighed and nodded."We greatly apologize for taking up your time.."He said softly and looked at his mom.For some reason he felt like they were lieing."I guess we need to keep looking."He started to turn to walk off a different way.His ears dropped and his head hung just a bit.Maybe they were being lied to,or they just truly didn't know him.The other mare looked like the offended her,he didn't feel like messing up anymore.He whispered softly under his breath."I just want my dad.."Closing his eyes he kept walking,Calon knew his mom wouldn't follow.
Niele looked at the mare sadly."We apologize.."Standing there looking at the mare she stuck her muzzle out to nuzzle her."Please believe me that he's a nice man...The things that Accalon said were just things that happened,but were over it...We just miss him.."Niele tried to smile at the mare,her eyes started to water and she turned to watch Accalon walk away.She knew that they had upset them.She had no use in taking their time,they just didn't know Akuba.Sighing she smiled sweetly at them both and moved back to follow 'Calon."Thank you for your time...sorry we wasted some of it."Turning to follow her son she gave them both another warming smile.Moving her hooves slowly she followed slowly after him.Her ears to did droop.Niele couldn't understand why she couldnt' find him.

'He might?'
Symphony still failed to understand how they couldn't find their way to he farther's riverside teepee, maybe they didn't know him too well themselves because Akuba hadn't moved one bit. Both seemed so disheartened by the fact that he was missing, although he was never really missing, sure to them but Sym wondered if they'd been to his teepee before and if not why not. Sym nodded to Accalon in reply to confirm her listening to him.
'Where's he going? He didn't even say goodbye...' Sy shrugged with two wings, she didn't want the strangers to be so upset, she didn't like anyone upset, but she was still stewing when it came to thinking about her supposed half-sibling's comments. She watched him trail off without a goodbye.
Her eyes shot to Niele when she began to speak, now she seemed to not be as weak as she was before. Where had this sudden small surge of energy come from, maybe her illness was easing up. Symphony wasn't used to strangers nuzzling her, a formal bow, curtsy or as shake of the wing would've done her just fine. This had been why at first her eyes looked scared, she feared for what the mare'd do, was she going to hurt her? Symphony timidly flinched, flapped and held out a wing instead, almost catching the other mare by a micrometre, half retreating behind her brother.
Symphonny waved at them both and went to stand closer by her brother. 'Goodbye strangers.' She looked at her brother. 'Are you okay?'

Sonnet watched as the other stallion started to walk away, hos eyes going to the mare, narrowing a little as she tried to nuzzle his sister, not that he had to move as Sym jumped behind him and waves with her wing. So he just stood still and let her hide behind him, after all he was big enough.
Shaking his head at Sym's question, he was far from ok, then again they had totally ignored him, which was impressive as he was the one that had spoken to them. "I don't know Sym, and no I'm not..." He was still watching them, not taking his eyes away to give her a reassuring look, he was unsettled and far out of his comfort zone and so he was fully on guard.
"Nothing of that made sense for one thing.... For another... I don't know how to explain it, I suppose it depends how much you know, I've no idea what he told you." Looking at her then briefly his expression sad and tense, looking at the retreating pair.
Starting to think, he needed to talk to his dad, this was a meeting he would want to know about, then he might suggest that they move far far away so this never happens again. Then again it would never happen, his dad seemed too happy where he was.

Niele watched Accalon vanish off into the forest.Sighing she started to think of what to do.What to do?what to do?Niele shook her head sadly."We'll never find him..."She mumbled under her breath.It had been so long since she seen his teepee.Trying to think of where it was she shook her head more.Blinking she stopped and looked back to the two.They were talking about berries and water."Do...you two need help collecting berries?I heard you speak about them before my son interrupted you."She said quietly.Hoping they would hear her she started to walk slowly towards them.Niele flicked her tail and looked at the two.They probably thought horribly about her and Accalon.But it was all true,just mistakes that could be easily fixed...
Niele looked to the stallion.She just wanted answers."Do you know where he is?At all?"She sighed."If you think i'm just some mare speaking randomly about some stallion,your wrong.Akuba is my..."She looked down."Mate.We just haven't seen eachother.You have to believe me.."
'Calon turned his head to see his mother speaking to the two once more.Rolling his eyes he knew they didn't trust them,so why even try?Stopping and sitting near some trees he listened up on the conversation.To see if anything came up that was spoken of before.He wouldn't say any words,none at all.His words messed this all up from the first time he spoke.His mother was way too nice on giving up on something.She wanted to get everything better between everyone.

'I think he told me what I needed to know. Though I didn't know what they'd be like.'
Symphony watched him in mid-thought, then turned to the other two soquili, the mare was turning back towards them, Symphony almost raised a brow but kept on a neutral face.
They weren't talking about berries anymore but the mare seemed to have wanted to help. 'It could be alright, but we don't have the pale or the blanket.' She shook her slightly out of place mane, even though stripe was more upbeat, bouncing of the walls and utterly bonkers she managed to keep her hair neat, maybe because Niele helped her, but Symphony liked her medium length hair how it was.
She watched Niele approach her brother with quite desperate look in her eyes, Sym wondered why it seemed to be this bad.

Sonnet quirked an eyebrow at the word mate but didn't say anything. Looking to his sister and shrugging "I know we don't..." Not sure he wanted to go and get them and lead this mare to their happy home. Neither did he want to leave Sym alone with the mare, having images of her getting kidnapped. His eyes flicking to where the stallion was out the way.... No he definitely wasn't going to leave Sym here alone. "Which do you want to do?" Looking at Sym again letting her voice her thoughts on the matter.
Other than the quirked eyebrow he had said nothing to the mares questions. He had no desire to talk about his dad's location with her. Sighing softly, tempted to use Sym's special code to talk to her, but he didn't know if either of these 2 knew that, but he figured he would give it a try, having learnt enough with all the tapping that went on around him. Lifting one of his hooves and starting

Niele huffed because he completely ignored her questions.Looking back to Accalon it really made her angry,She knew what they were thinking.They'd hurt either of them,kill them.Niele shrugged when he asked about which he wanted to do."Either whichever you trust me with."She simply said and stared at the two.Then she heard some clicking,her ears purked up and watched his hoof.Pining her ears back after hearing it she looked at the stallion."About what?"Niele flicked her tail and looked back to accalon.
Tilting his head he started to walk back towards them.Wondering what was going on.Pinning his ears he stopped quickly when his mother started to speak to the stallion and mare.What was going on?He wouldn't dare hurt anyone unless he had to.Neither him or his mother would.Hearing the stallion tap his hoof he stared at it like..wtf?Huffing himself,he just kept watching,wondering what it ment.It confused him but his mother surely knew what it ment.Sitting down behind her he closed his eyes and put down his head to show that he wouldn't hurt anyone.

'I definitely would like to still pick berries. But who will get the pale and blanket, shall I or do you want to? Or should we just get them another day? Might as well start with the fire wood instead, it's easier to collect.' Symphony nuzzled her brother and locked horns for a second or two. It had surprised her that the mare knew of morse.
".--. .- .-. -.. --- -. ..--.."
Sym watched her half brother submissively sit behind his mother, she wondered weather it was always like this.

Sonnet closed his eyes and ignored the mares answers, he hadn't been speaking to her and that had been obvious. Resting his head against Sym's their horns touching, his internal monologue carrying on as he listens to Sym. 'Berries, I'd gladly get you the things to get berries but I'm afraid to leave you with them... I'd never forgive myself if they hurt you like they hurt dad...' His thoughts changing as that brought a flash of anger. 'No, not the time for anger, get Sym home safe first then be angry somewhere no one could get hurt.' Lifting his head and looking down at Sym as his eyes opened, his foot starting to tap again.
