Punk frowned at Paimon's words, puzzled. It was a little hard to take him seriously when he had that unusual grin on his face. Then he heard a voice, a voice he would recognize anywhere. He took off, leaving a flurry of feathers behind him. When Melda crested the hill, he was there to meet her, muzzle pressed to her neck. It was really her. His Melda Mer... He wasn't deterred from his wordless, affectionate greeting until he felt the bundle she was carrying bump him with her squirming. His gaze went down to the blanket, only staring for a minute before he gingerly took the blanketed foal into his own teeth. It was clearly Melda's child; the colors and thorn pattern were the same as his beloved mare. His gaze then went to the blanket he finally noticed that Huel was carrying. The same thorn pattern, but black with the green instead of red and there was a pattern that resembled the feathered pattern Punk had on his sides...
That made the feathered stallion paused for a minute. He inspected the blanket he was now holding, then the other. They were his. His and Melda's kids. His already happy expression brightened to the point that it was practically glowing, yellow eyes sparkling. He was a father. Well, again. But he was a
father--and Melda was the mother.
Ca snorted, edgy until Punk and Melda reached the place she was at. She'd heard Melda's call at the same time Punk had, of course, but being pregnant made it extremely difficult to move now. She wanted to scramble to her feet and prance around her adopted mother like a young filly, but she had a feeling that she'd get scolded for that type of reckless act. So she impatiently waited for Punk to return... carrying a blanket? Her ears went straight up, eyes locked on the little bundles that Punk and Huel was carrying. Siblings. She had new siblings!
Remus remained at the top of the hill, a little stunned by the reaction of Punk. He'd never seen him that... well, openly happy and excited before. He'd been a little reserved before. Almost like... the foal fidgeted at the thought, shaking his head to clear the thought.
