Raiden was actually surprised by the sudden influx of the others. They didn't seem to hate him as bad as he thought they did. In fact it was that reason why he went so silent for that long and didn't show up that much at all to begin with. Ever since Holly King and Enlil's wedding he felt a bit left out since everyone was off and about playing and left him out since his methods of playing were too hard sometimes. "I've been alright...I see you ended up with Juri in the end. I'm glad...glad you found someone who appreciates you like that." He didn't want to tell them too much about Snow Candy since at that time nothing was official and he had only begun to see her. "I've been trying to improve, in a couple of ways. I guess you could say I went on a journey to figure myself out a bit more. I still am a bit lost, but I thought the least I could do is show up to show you I'm not dead and to show some care."

Rai chuckled a bit. He knew Raiden was never one for mushy stuff and didn't like acting soft. In fact it probably was taking a lot for him to say all of this and hold back any harsh comments that would normally flow out of his mouth.

Raiden looked at Morpheus then at Tova both wrapped around his front legs. "Of course. That's why I came out. It's not like your grandfather can play hide and go seek and tag at the same time." He paused for a moment. "Although there is hide and go seek tag which involves that after you are found you run to a base and if the pony tags you, that means your it." He smirked a bit trying to imagine his father actually trying to run. It had been a while since he had challenged him to a game, but the idea sounded fun to him.

Rai shrugged. "Well that sounds fine too, but I guess we should decide what the kids want. Do you guys want to merge them both or do you still want to play separately?"

Aurora came over and sat with the other kids. "I would like to play too...if that's ok." She looked over Raiden. He looked so familiar to her grandfather like her brother had said it was shocking how closely he resembled his dad.

((It's fine. I don't look at that as godmodding. The only time I would ever get upset is if you claimed you killed my ponies or beat them without an agreement first.))
