Kiefer smiled "Don't worry, you will find more colt friends. There are plenty around, you just need to look in different places" he said, nodding. "Plus, take my word for it. At your age, colts aren't much better than fillies. You just need to ignore the gender thing" he remembered when he used to think that fillies were boring and no fun. Then his old friend Azariel showed him differently.
"She sure does sound nice" he said, happy for the little guy. As a colt, his mother did understand him, but she found herself constantly trying to keep him out of trouble. Every day and night he would sneak off and come back all scratched up and dirty. Now he felt bad for it. It must have caused his mom a good bit of stress.
"Well...erm" Kiefer wasn't about to explain the facts of life to some colt he met a few minutes ago. "it isn't so much something we can explain. You see...right now you wouldn't understand. It's nothing personal to you, it's just no foal would ever understand. You will figure it out on your own when you are older, I promise" he said, smiling "You just have to be patient"

Finn sighed loudly, "I hope so. It'd be fun ter play with others like me." Finn tilted his head to the side, "Ignore the gender thing? I know that," He snorted and shook his head, "But it'd be nice ter see another like me. I haven' found a filly I'd talk to about anythin', ye know?" Except maybe Kizuka, but he didn't really know anything about her.
Finn grinned, "Yep! She's amazin', but then again all of me family is like that." He shrugged small shoulders, "Aren't all families like that though?" He looked up at the older stallion expectantly, wanting to know.
Finn gave Kiefer a straight look, "Do ye honestly think someone like me has any patience?" He asked frankly, raising an eyebrow in disbelief. Hadn't this older male been a colt too? What colt had patience? Any at all?

Kiefer smiled. This colt was quite a bit smarter than he himself had been at that age. "I know what you mean. Don't worry, you will find some very soon, I am sure. This land is crawling with foals like yourself, and odds are you will run into a male one of these days" he said, nodding.
He stopped smiling. "Well...most families are" he said. Perhaps this colt didn't know of all the abandoned foals, and all the Soquili that grew up with out friends or family? Well, he certainly wasn't ready to get into that with the colt. It wasn't his child, and he didn't have any right to tell him about such a depressing subject.
He smiled again, and laughed. "No, not really. I didn't have any patience either. But that kind of thing... you just have to learn on your own. It's impossible to explain it" he said, trying his best to drop the subject.

Finn sighed again and finally dismissed the subject. The older stallion wasn't exactly providing immediate-resolution answers to his problem anyway.
"Most families?" Finn tilted his head to the side, curious, "I know me ma hasn' seen her ma in ages an' has seen either of her brothers in almost as long, but I didn' think there were many other families like that." He sighed and shook his head, "I'd offer fer all of 'em ter come live with me'r somethin' but that'd drive me ma an' da up the wall."
"So...it's like how ma an' da are when da gets all lovey-dovey again an' ma tell him to quite it," He said, once again returning to the subject, "Faolen an' I don' understand why da does it and ma doesn' seem to happy when he does it while others are around, but when I ask Da he says I won' understand till I'm older." He sighed and shook his head, "If I didn' know that gettin' older meant I'd have less fun, I'd want to get older right quick." He mused ruefully, prodding the subjet mercilessly for a bit longer.

Kiefer laughed. "Well, I have a really big family, too. I have my grandparents, and tons of cousins, aunts, and uncles. But I've only met a handful of them" he said, shaking his head. "Sometimes thats the way it is. It isn't a bid deal" he said, rather glad that Finn thought he was talking about broken up families. Then again, that was a bit of a problem too. But a very common one.
He shook his head. Just like all curious colts, he was driving at the touchiest subjects the most, the ones where the answer really WAS 'wait until you are older'. Kiefer remembered thinking that all the adults were just being jerks, keeping some REALLY great secret from him. But that wasn't true! Still, how could he explain such a thing?
"Well, your Mom and Dad sound like they love each other" said Kiefer, hoping he wasn't being too presumptuous. "And they probably feel funny showing it in front of their foals. With nuzzles and stuff" he said quickly, trying not to say anything too out of line in front of the little guy. "Thats all. Its nothing that interesting, really." he said, not sounding very convincing.

Finn blinked up at Kiefer, wondering how someone could have such a big family. DId he have a big family that he just didn't know about? He just didn't know, so he left it alone.
Finn made the look all children did when "love" entered the conversation. It was icky all right, but he understood what the older stallion meant. "Yah, I guess." He grumbled, shrugged dismissively, "But Da's said Ma's always like that. That she doesn' like public affections and Da does so he does it anyway and then he's not allowed ter sleep in the teepee fer the night." He looked up at the yellow stallion with small raised eyebrows, "Does that happen ter ye? 'Cause if all girls are like that, I'd rather not deal with it."
Shrugging his shoulders dismissively, and glanced around surreptiously, wondering why he suddenly felt uneasy. As if there was something coming toward them that wasn't too pleased. Where had he felt this before...?
"Finn!"
Oh yes, when his Ma caught him.

Kiefer almost laughed outwardly, wondering what the colt's mother and father would say if they knew that their son was pouring out all sorts of personal business to a random stallion he had met. Sounded like a likable couple, though.
"No, all girls aren't like that. My mother and father don't show too much affection in front of me and my sisters, except for just kind of being with each other, and you can tell" he chuckled "It sounds like your father is just teasing your mother a bit" he added, a grin playing across his face.
A moment later, he jumped suddenly. A familiar voice. Female. This colt's mother. Could it be? No... He looked at Fin, the way his legs were white and the rest of his body was green. Of course not. Couldn't be. Could it?
He jumped us, embarrassed. Weather it was who he thought it was or not, he felt bad being caught with a colt that was clearly out far past his bead time. Kiefer had given up making him go home some time ago...and never fully intended it. He hoped he wouldn't get the rage of an angry mother.

"Er...ah...Ma! How're ye?" He stammered, scrambling up to his feet and trying his best not to look like he'd been blatantly ignoring the order that he had to be home before dark.
"I was jest about ter head home, nothing ter worry about!" He gave her his patented cheerful grin, as if that had worked a time or two before. He knew very well, that his mother would not be fooled a smidgen.
Guess it was back to be restricted to the teepee grounds. Dang it.
Entering the clearing with a rather displeased expression, Azariel wasn't expecting to find anyone other than her son, let alone someone she knew, "K-Kiefer?"
Blue-green eyes widened in surprise and inwardly something inside her winced and wanted her to simply retreat back into the forest. She hadn't seen any of her old friends since before her pregnancy, why now?
At least she wasn't fat anymore?

Kiefer suppressed a chuckled as the colt outwardly lied to his mother. Such silly lies, from what he heard, she would probably not fall for it. Not many would.
He turned his head towards where the rustling was, his smiling fading as the mare came into view. It was....Azariel. He was speechless. He and Az...they were the same age. About. And...she had a....foal. He opened his mouth, then closed it, feeling quite a bit like a fish.
"H...hi Az....I..seemed to have met your...s...s..." he didn't want to say it. It had to be true. Right? Or maybe it was a mistake. Maybe she was an...aunt. Or a friend. And the colt was just confused and thought it was his mother. And now he saw it wasn't, right? He was probably embarrassed.
Kiefer looked at the colt. He didn't look embarrassed. It...was defiantly his mother. Azariel was a mother. He hadn't even...thought about mating yet. And she already had a...colt. He didn't seem really young, either.
"How...are...you?" he said slowly, still unable to figure out what exactly to say. The situation was getting increasingly awkward.

Finn looked curiously between the two adults, not truly understanding why they were looking the way they were. They both seemed very, very surprised to see the other and...they really shouldn't do that in front of a colt who's notorious for his curiosity.
"Ma!" He trotted down to where she stood, nudging at her gently, "Somethin' wrong? Is he a bad one, then?" Green eyes looked between the two curiously, wanting to know what exactly was going on. It seemed like it would be a fun thing to know, yeah?
Trotting around her, wanting to know now what was going on, because he would definitely not be getting an explanation any time after this, "What's goin' on, Ma? Ye know 'im or somethin'?"
Had it been anyone other than her he had been looking at like that, she probably would have been laughing her a** up. This, however, was hardly funny.
"Y-yes," She answered, tail flicking as she shifted awkwardly, "I have another, as well, Faolen..." She could feel the awkwardness in the air and only managed to break it within herself for a moment to turn and discipline her son, "Finn, behave! I'm talking with an old friend right now, do you want to be stuck in the teepee even longer than you normally are?" Jeez, he was such his father's son...
Ears flicked and she looked at Kiefer again, once more shifting awkwardly, "I'm doing fine, Kief...er," She added the tail end of his full name as an after thought; right now wasn't exactly the time to slip into informalities, was it? "And you...?"
