Taking another step forward, Gingey heard Halloween call out, his heart rising with hopes and filling up with happiness. As his hooves clopped upon the rocky, hard cave floor, his white eyes could see Halloween's limegreen ones, the light making them glow as a cat's would.
"Halloween.. It's me.. Gingey... I've been looking for you.. I felt that something was wrong.. Or that you needed me... Are you alright?"
His nose wrinkled as the foul smells in the air become more potent, but that's not what caught his immediate attenion. There, behind and slightly beside Halloween, were two, moving bodies. Cocking his head some, Gingey stepped forward some more, trying to see what they were, and if they had harmed Halloween in any way.

Halloween sighed hearing Gingey's voice. Her relief rushed through her and she relaxed moving back so the two foals could be seen. "I am fine but I need your help. Can you help me clean them off and get them into their baskets?" She asked reaching back for one of the foals and starting to clean the little shivering one off and get the foals dry. Halloween put her whole attention to the foal not giving Gingey any mind at all. He was the foal's father and she knew he had no reason to harm them.

With a bit of surprise, Gingey smiled and trotted over to the small foals, watching how Halloween had taken one of them and started to lick it clean. The little one had shivered under her rough tongue, but Gingey could tell that it enjoyed it regardless.
So, following her example, Gingey laid down next to Halloween, scooting over the other foal, with his leg, towards him. Carefully, he started to lick the dear, little one. It whinnied and cried, but soon, like its sibling, it calmed down and let its father lick it clean. Smiling, Gingey nuzzled his dear, little one, looking over to Halloween.
"They're beautiful....."

Halloween managed to dry the foal off and settle it's fur into place on it's body. The foal gave it's complaints but soon quieted down. Reaching over to the baskets Halloween grabbed one by the rim, pulled it to her and carefully placed the cleaned foal inside and placed the lid on top of it.
Reaching over for the other basket she pulled it to her and then placed it near Gingey so he could place the other foal within when he was finished. "They're perfect." She corrected looking at the basket she had just placed the foal she'd cleaned in. The basket's colors changed to reflect the foal within right before her eyes. Seeing such magic work was stunning.

"Yes... Perfect...", Gingey repeated, taking the basket with his hoof and gently picking up the small foal, placing it inside. As it whinnied some from being picked up, it snugged itself into the weaving, getting comfortable. Smiling, Gingey nuzzled the little one, smiling as he put the top on the basket, the colors and patterns magically coming about on it.
"Sleep well my little one.. Until you are ready to come out and see the world..."

Halloween watched Gingey as he placed the foal in its basket, a small smile was on her face. She gave a light sigh of relief as both baskets were now secure with their foals inside. Carefully she layed down upon her side finally able to rest her body. Birthing foals was hard work, stallions were lucky in that aspect only. Never having to feel that pain, probably why so many of them were so arrogant. They thought mares had it easy in their lives.

Pushing the basket over to the other one, Gingey got up and trotted over to Halloween, lying down next to her, resting his head on her side. Sighing some, his white eyes glanced around the cave, seeing some of those foul-smelling fluids on the floor, and the places where the foals had been before being put into their baskets. Smiling some though, the stallion looked over to Halloween, being able to see just how tired she was.
"Are you alright..? It looks like you've had a very rough day...."

Princess snorted softly as she stood a little ways from the entrance, standing over one of her own baskets protectively. She hadn't been sure how things would work for Halloween, but she could tell from the strange male scent from within, that the sire was likely inside with her. "Everyone doing alright?"

Halloween tilted her head just enough so she could see his face. "I will live." She replied as a voice from the entrance caught her attention. She recognized the voice immediately as Princess. "Everyone is fine. Breathing and safe." She called out in reply to her before peering at Gingey. "My herd leader, Princess." She told him.

Gingey looked up and saw the herd leader, Princess, standing at the entrance of the cave, her own basket with her. Gracefully, and most politely, he nodded his head to her, showing that he had acknowledged her presence.
"My name is Gingey. It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess."
Looking back to Halloween, Gingey smiled once more, slightly nuzzling Halloween, showing that he was there for her, even if she didn't want his company.

Princess quirked a brow, even as she smiled slightly. Gingey was an odd-looking fellow, but she'd come across stranger appearances. "And likewise, I would hope. It still remains to be seen, but your own actions will damn or redeem you." Her dark tail flicked against her hocks as amber eyes looked into the darknesses of the cave.

Halloween's ears fell back against her head at Princess's words. She certainly didn't seem pleasant to Gingey but I guess that was to be expected from her. It was part of her nature after all. "If you like Princess. You may come in instead of standing out there." She stated and then glanced at Gingey curiously hoping he wouldn't care for the other mares presense.

"Of course not. After all, she's your herd leader, so she should be able to see what has happened here as well. It wouldn't be right to just shut her out."
Neighing some, Gingey's thoughts began to roam. At this point, he couldn't really tell if Halloween was happy or sad, or if she scared or possibly even frustrated. All her emotions mixed and kept changing, confusing him horribly. So, saying nothing else, he nuzzled Halloween some more, smiling some as well.

"Wise words..." Nudging the dark grey basket ahead of her, Princess slowly and carefully made her way into the entrance of the cave, stopping just inside. It wasn't through a lack to be social, really, but she didn't want to shove the basket further than it needed to be. She kept her amber eyes on Gingey, noting his lack of reaction to her harsh words. Either he was smart and was taking notes, or he was a fool and didn't care what her opinion of him was. Which, should he harm a herd member physically or emotionally, would not be safe for him.
