It didn't suprise Maion that Drashi didn't know, after all his son had been avoiding everything including the word 'pregnant' for so long he wondered if Drashi was even aware of it. Even now it was clear his son wasn't completely comfortable with the notion. "Alice isn't very well," he stated bluntly, "The children within her are making her ill... and day by day she grows weaker. Chandra isn't sure she will be able to help if they don't arrive soon. Something about them getting to big to remain inside." He took a deep breath. It was a sad sad sad situation, and it would break Maion's heart to consider loosing Alice and her foals. "So Scythe offered Misaki to aid, her healing is much better than anyone within our own herd since she is a pure unicorn."
"Hmmmmm...." Maion considered Drashi's offer, the truth was he always considered the opinions of others -after all Maion wasn't infallable, and someone may just have an idea you really didn't think about. In this case he liked Drashi's idea for two reasons. One, he would take time off without arguing too much and two, he knew that Drashi knew the way to the other herd and could be trusted to do as asked without a moments hesitation or pause. It was the reason why Maion replied; "Agreed."
His stomach picked that moment to rumble. He chuckled; "Seems I could do with a bite to eat. Why don't you join me?"
And with that Maion led Drashi to where his beautiful mate waited for him, several of the herd mares were sat with her, and in the center wad a collection of fruits and grass that had been collected for lunch. Delicious.
