 Since the death of her brother, not to mention grandfather, part of Natli's world had come crushing for awhile. She had grown withdrawn for a time, just walking, asking little of those around her. While some hadn't minded the temporary change, she sought to find the joy in her life she'd once held. As the days passed, she began to find it again, all in the little things in life around her.
Natli'Ana was the type of spirit that just couldn't be completely crushed under heel. One way or another, she'd be bound to survive, find the joy in life and fight for all that she believed in. The last she'd seen of Ty, he'd had a gleam in his eye...she wondered what it was about, but it was enough for her to know he'd found joy in his life before it'd been cut short. She was bound and determined to do the same.
As she had, every morning since a week following the massacre, Natli had gone to watch the sun rise and welcome the new day. She'd decided to walk the herd's boundary line for no real reason in particular that morning other than for some exercise, followed by a juicy apple treat from an orchard later. She smacked her lips thinking of the apple, but was soon distracted by a group of azrein approaching the line. She cocked her head slightly at the mares thinking that they looked like they could be her sisters...hmm...this day was turning out pretty good so far! She didn't recognize the male, but that didn't always mean anything, but did leave her intrigued as hell. Then again, she had a big family, maybe they'd come for a visit?
"Good Morning!" she called, bright and chipper, giggling at the antics of one who....looked alot like herself, not only in looks but in her bouncy nature. She liked her already.

At the sight of the new female, Rameses had to check himself and his daughters to make sure this stunning even more beautiful look alike of his youngest daughter was behind him once more. "Good morning. My name is Rameses, and these are my daughters Bastett, Kesi, and Loria. I am looking for Tylion the Fallen's herd and family? These... are his daughters as well." He watched cautiously, knowing he wouldn't want to have to hurt this female, but when it came to protecting his daughters he'd do anything.
Bastett grinned and stood right up next to her father, admiring the pretty female. She had to be related. Her and Loria looked like twins!!! "Hello and Salutations fellow Earthwalker!!" She greeted chirpily.

Loria eyes the new comer. Turns bug eyes on her crazy sister. Shakes her head, walks up to Natli. "You look familiar. Yes very pretty. Are you an older me perchance, cause I have to say that we look pretty good. Where did you get the yellow is that paint? Oh I almost forgot." Loria back up a bit and pounces on Natli. "This is my family, I am Loria, you are so lucky to meet us, especially me. " She giggled at the mare happily. Bouncing off she hopped over to her sisters.

((Sorry, Nilah, Natli refused to shut up and wait. She was making demands and refused to go to bed when i wanted to...I had no choice crying ))
Natli's initial reaction was the stand in mid-stride...and stare. The only thing that moved were her eyes as she first took in each girl, seeing how each looked like her brother in so many ways, and then finally to Ramses himself. Her eyes locked to his, and after a single moment she grinned and squealed. "So THAT'S why he looked so happy last I saw him!" She jumped up and down excitedly, kicking her heels and whooping before finally settling down, her hair a slight mess, but she didn't care, her grin pretty nearly splitting her face. "He'd found love! That explains it all...Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to meet all of you! Your grandfather is going to be so excited too...oh my gosh...you have so many to meet! Not grandfathers, though you got a few of them, not a ton, but I mean family! Lots of family!"
Taking a breath, she added after a slight pause, "I'm Natli'Ana. I'm Ty's little sister." Trotting over to stand close beside Ramses, mostly because he looked so nervous and sad, she reached over and gave him a welcoming nuzzle and smile. "You're as much a part of the family as the girls, so I welcome you home...if you decide to call it that one day." She had to admit he was extremely handsome, though she'd not known her brother had been oriented that way, still she could see what had drawn him in. He was regal, almost like a king, standing tall and strong, but every time his gaze fell on one of the girls, she could see both joy and sadness in those deep brown eyes. She could get lost in those eyes, there was so much emotion there...she doubted she'd care much to return once she did. Partially to keep herself from doing exactly that, she took a step forward, her swishing tail brushing his nearest hind leg as she did.
Turning her attention back to the girls, she just wanted to gather them together and nuzzle them all to pieces. Unable to think how to respond (as in who to nuzzle first), she grinned as Bastet was the first to approach. "Welcome, starshine, the earth says hello!" she said in return, reaching to nuzzle the first of her neices.
The next to approach, Loria, just made her wiggle with glee since it was just like looking in a mirror. Almost. Loria had as many questions for her as she usually came up with for another, and so with practiced ease, she answered back just as fast. "You look familiar as well, and thank you. Older version? No...well...yes...and no, I'm older but I'm certainly not you. *giggle* The yellow came from my father, just like your spots came from your father, Ty, and no it' not paint. I don't even know what paint is!" At this point, she finds herself pounced on and rolls away from Ramses giggling as they disentagle themselves, and retake their previous positions. "I am indeed lucky to meet you," she said with a nuzzle, pulling a stray leaf from the younger mare's mane, in a very motherly type of way. "I am so pleased to meet you, Loria, and your family."

Kesi stood beside her father, but behind her sisters. The female did look a lot like Loria so it would make sense that she was Dad's sister. Her head shook almost imperceptibly at her sisters' reactions to the female Natli. The poor girl found herself standing there awkwardly beside her father, not saying anything to their... aunt? It seemed like the thought of meeting 'so many' relatives froze her. To Kesi, it was hard to believe that the father she didn't have the chance to know would have so much family, especially since her other Father hadn't met any of them.
The world seemed like an entirely different place to her now. It was a world with more than her two sisters and her father. A world outside their little home. Maybe a world with family and a herd. Shaking herself out of her reverie, she noticed how uncomfortable her father looked, which was when Natli came up to him. She honestly didn't mean to be rude, but Kesi couldn't really find it in her to talk. Now, it seemed, more than any other time in the past, she found herself missing her dad, wanting what she could never have. Her head lowered as she forced back the tears. Now is not the time Kesi... She told herself.
((D: Yall are so mean!! Haha just kidding. <3 Its fine. Should we bring Tashi into the mix now?))

Bastett's ears flicked backwards as she could sense Kesi's sadness and discomfort. The little mare quickly went over to her sister and plastered herself to Kesi's side to comfort the sister she looked up to. Kesi was always so dignified and Bastett was perhaps closer to her than she was to Loria, though she and Loria were very close. Perhaps it was just the fact they had been raised without their daddy, or perhaps it was how Rameses had raised them with his tough crack on family values learned to him by the sun's loving light, but whatever it was, Bastett was thankful for it. It had brought her closer to her sisters. They were more than family and she knew it, and she also knew that she would always be there for her sister, whether she needed support or space.
Rameses smiled at the mare and his daughters, who were quick (with the exception of Kesi who he figured would be a little shy at first because she was so much like him), and responded to the mare's greeting. "I thank you for the warm welcome. It is a blessing to know that Tylion's family will welcome his daughters as their own." He responded regally, holding himself together the only way he knew how, with the regalness that his father had taught him. "I would love to consider calling this home, after further deliberation. I knew so little of Ty's family, and my girls wanted to try and get to know him better through you." He added after a bit of watching the female who was very beautiful, he decided. Her yellow markings reminded him of his father, and her spots of Tylion. Though he could instantly tell that she was not like her sibling, but more like Loria, so perhaps that is where the spunky daughter of his got it from.

Kesi looking knowingly at her sister, Bastett. Bas always seemed to know when she was upset. It wasn't like she really meant to be upset, Aunt Natli seemed to be really nice, a lot like Loria, but nice all the same. It was at this point that the young mare saw another figure approaching their small group.
Taoshira had thought she had heard voices over the hill and had decided to investigate. Tashi hadn't really felt like going many places here lately, she tended to stay by herself, or with Enthallion, by the apple trees normally. Her eyes were saddened with the loss of her child, and anyone could tell that it was taking a toll on her. By all means the mother of the fallen was not taking it well at all. As she rounded the hill, she saw little Natli speaking with four azrein. Approaching slowly she nickered a greeting to her daughter. Continuing her way up, she saw three females surrounding one male. Tashi stopped dead in her tracks when she took notice of the actually appearance of the females. The familiar spots and strips brought tears to her eyes as they began to flow freely as she stood there. It couldn't be mistaken that they must be family, though if they were Natli's children, Tashi was sure that her daughter would have told her. Plus, her daughter was always around the herd, someone would have noticed. That only left 3 possibilities, they couldn't be Schuyler's since Schuy was adopted. Alkion was away but she knew Alki would be with whatever children he had. That only left one possibility, which is what left her petrified in her spot. "Tylion. . ." Her voice was broken and soft as she uttered just one word, but her eyes never left the group of four that faced her daughter.

"Tao! Tao." Enthallion came walking up the hill after checking the apple tree after patrol and finding his mate gone. He was loathe to leave her for the same reason she didn't want to leave him alone. Their combined loss needed a lattice work of support. "Tao I...." Enthallion began before he turned his head and actually saw the little party of azrein standing before his lifemate. "....." Those spots. He knew those spots, they were Tao's spots. Spots he adored more then anything else in the world. Thali blinked. "..Tao." He walked up to his mate and supported her against his side. He gave her a nuzzle. "Welcome to Equi'Amiticia. You must be the father that has graced our family with more members. Thank you for loving my son. And thank you for coming home. If only for a while. Stay as long as you like."
Loria stared at her granparents. They were beautiful and seemed to rotate around each other like the stars. It was a magical thing to see. She knew that that is what she wanted. A love so powerful it showed physically. She stepped forward and gently touched the nose of her Grandmother with her small snout. "Grandmum."

Rameses pulled his gaze away from the stunning mare before him to study the couple that approached. He bowed his head to them, his eyes returning to their sadness. "I am Rameses. These are mine and Tylion's daughters. There's Loria, Bastett and Kesi. I am sorry to come so unannounced, but I thought you might would like to meet your granddaughters." He said respectfully, trying to stand as tall and proud as he could. They were welcoming enough, but that could always be a pretense.
Bastett followed Loria's lead, flicking her tail in Kesi's face to reassure her, and trotted up to their grandmother. "I am Bastett. Its great to finally meet you." She said softly as she nuzzled the mare that was her grandmother.

"Mom!" Natli burst out excitedly, hearing her brother's name. Turning on her heels, she rushed over and gave her parents a warm nuzzle, nosing away some of her mother's tears as she did so. "I miss him too, Mom," she whispered for her to hear before backing up to stand by Rameses, who wasn't looking too comfortable by himself even with his daughters nearby.
Giving her neices time to greet their grandparents, she lightly reached up and nibbled a little playfully at one of Ramses's braids, mostly in an effort to remind him he wasn't alone and there was nothing to fear. He'd be accepted as much as the girls. "Relax, no one's going to chase you off or eat you," she whispered to him, smiling.

Taoshira felt the nuzzle of her daughter and those of her granddaughters only causing more tears to fall. "You are all so beautiful...a little bit of Tylion is apparent on each of you. Please, Rameses, stay as long as you like. It would do us all good to have to one Tyli loved around. And of course, his precious children."
Kesi watched from afar, watching her sisters go to their grandparents. Walking slowly up to where they were, she took her place between her sisters, bowing her head. "Grandmother, I am so glad to finally meet you. We have all looked forward to this moment for quite some time. I hope that we will not intrude on your herd, or disrupt anything. We do not want to cause pain by resurfacing the memory of our fallen father." It was quite a mouthful for her to say to someone she didn't know.
