Sleepily Peren found herself waking, one blink, two blink she murmured as she looked up and saw a fuzzy little foal standing in front of her "Mmmm?" She was barely awake but at the realisation there was.. a foal... in front of her it hastened the process as she blinked some more to get rid of the sleepy "Hello there little one." She smiled her usual welcoming smile at the unknown foal and went to stretch her wings in the small space she had.
Swearing under his breath Ama bolted forward and stood just out of Peren's view but in the view of anyone coming anywhere near the little sleeping spot. He had to hear what was happening, why hadn't the little lad listened to him! This would of been smooth as apple skin but now it was all on the hoof improvisation!

She was pretty, even with her big belly and he smiled at her. "Hello." He took a breath and closed his eyes before reopening them to begin his story. "Ama brought me here. He said...well I don't know what was said really...but I do know my mother left me with Ama and he brought me here." He paused, piecing together the bits of info. "To you." He shifted nervously. "My name is Noir Sondreas. Mother said it meant black tiger, she said I have a grandma and an aunt but she didn't know where they were. I don't have anybody." Unbidden tears began to roll out of his eyes. "And my mother ran away from me." Charger saw Ama outside his sleeping area. He knew Peren was in there resting and wasn't really in the mood to be disturbed. She was so uncomfortable lately that he was doing everything he could to keep her comfortable. Ama probably wouldn't be the best thing to make her comfortable at the moment. "Ama, what are you doing?"

Listening as Noir spewed the whole story to his Niece the weird stallion felt like face planting the ground... this was not the plan! And he was now severely implicated! Then when Charger came up behind him and spoke he jumped right off the ground, time to think on his hoofs indeed "Uh Peren uh... whats the word OH! Foaled she foaled yup, giving her space with the new little lad!"
"Oh Noir that is a sad little story for someone so young." She threw her head back to remove the mane that was still sleepingly dangling over her face. With a hoof she motioned for him to come closer then patted the ground next to her "Amalendu brought you to the right place little love, come lay with me, I must apologize I am soon to have foals of my own and getting up is... rather a task" Her smile had not faltered, she wasn't entirely sure what she would do but she knew she wanted the little one to feel safe and maternal instincts must of kicked in because she could think of nothing better than to share her body heat with him.

"If Peren thought she was going to foal she would have yelled for me." He'd clearly caught Ama up to something, the three foot hop was proof enough of that. "Besides, Peren is having more than one which is proven by the fact that she's huge right now." He looked Ama up and down an then decided to look for himself. "Move Ama."
Noir sniffled, he wasn't really sure about the sudden kindness but he was tired and if he could use the rest. "Okay." He was still wary but he lowered down to snuggle next to her. "I'm sorry if I cause trouble." He nuzzled her and was warm and happy for the first time in days. "Thank you."

"Do not worry little one, you can stay with us however long you wish and no harm will come your way. As for trouble? Nonsense! My mate and I are expecting foals, the more the merrier" She chuckled, then it dawned on her that perhaps she should of consulted Charger first... but how could she of turned away a lone foal in the world? She should have words with Ama later however... even though she knew it would go in one ear and out the other. "Noir Sondreas... that is a rather fetching name, you have us now."
Amalendu knew when he shouldn't argue... surprisingly in this case and shifted out of the way, waiting for Charger to pass and get into Peren view before following behind. "Oh wow Peren look you foaled!" Wait a draw attention to yourself, but he couldn't figure what else to say, back to the original plan!

Noir smiled and nodded. She was so nice, he liked her already. "Okay." He smiled more when she complimented his name. "Thank you. I like it." He nosed her warm side happily and then Ama and a stranger walked in and ruined it. Doubly when Ama decided to open his mouth. Noir frowned. "Ama, I know who I am and who my mother is, please stop it." He shook his head and looked up at the other new strange male. There was confusion all over his face. He looked back at Peren to gauge her reaction and all he got out of that was that she was quite comfortable around him. He took that as a good sign. "Hello."
Charger huffed at Ama and trotted right in, it was after all his spot. First he saw Peren and he smiled and her and then he saw the small, black, male foal curled up at her side and was confused. Peren was clearly still pregnant and the foal was clearly not his since it was the wrong color and markings. He turned his head to look at Ama with a glare and then back at the small foal. The intelligence out of the small being surprised him when it spoke and address Ama with polite almost adult demure. He looked to Peren for assurance but he knew in his heart where the foal was going to stay. Ama taking care of a foal was absurd. There was also the question of where Ama had gotten it. "Hello little one."

Peren was quick to look up with a gentle smile to her mate, "Noir this is Charger my mate and sire to the foals I carry." Then she turned with a stern look, still gentle but there was no doubt the next words she spoke where for Ama and they where serious. "Amalendu why don't you go rest, it must of been terribly tiring bringing Noir here. We shall speak later." With that her features soften again as she turned her attention back to the foal.
There was a hint, and then there was being obvious, Peren knew how to handle Amalendu and it showed. The stallion gave up the farce and went to leave straight away, he knew where he wasn't wanted or needed. Then a strange thing happened, he felt a pull on his heart as he found his head turn back at the foal and his mouth opened "Later Tater" What else was there to say? There adventure was complete, his mission was accomplished now to leave them to their happy family, but why did that make him feel kinda upset?

Noir watched as Peren explained who the male was and scolded Ama. He smiled as he watched Ama leave. "You shouldn't be too hard on him. I think my mother asked him to bring me here." He smiled up at Charger. "Hi! I'm sorry about all this. I..." He faulted for a moment. "...I didn't know my mother wouldn't want me. I want to stay here with you and Peren. I like her." Despite everything the foal was courageous and innocently untainted.
Charger listened and watched quietly. Ama and Noir's full story was definitely one he wanted to know. But currently there looked to be a tired foal and a tired mate that needed rest. In all truth he didn't care who the foal really belonged to. Both the beings in his home looked like they needed taken care of. He knew if Peren liked Noir than the foal was staying. No better time really he supposed, in a few days Noir would have a whole family to play with. He smiled at the foal and lowered himself to sandwich the foal between him and Peren. "You'll have to tell me the whole story how you got here after your sleep. You look tired." He turned his head slightly to focus his attention on Peren. "And so do you dear. Sleep. I'll make sure everything is taken care of. Like always."

Peren smiled gently, she had never considered herself being hard on Ama, only that she'd grown used to him and was always as soft as she could be with him. "I have no doubt we shall see Uncle Amalendu again soon, but Charger is right for now I know I could most certainly use some more rest." With a calm nod she shifted her wings over the foal so the ends brushed against her mate. Moving her head to rest of the ground in front of Noir it already felt like he was one of theirs, she wouldn't treat him any different from her own foals, that she knew even at this point.In a hushed tone she shifted her gaze so it included both Charger and Noir "Thank you my love." It was meant for her mate, a thank you that said much, of his care for her and acceptance of the young colt with little explanation or foresight. With that settled and the little one between them she felt safe within the herd and with Charger, sleep settled quickly and her dreams where the usual of the foals to come but this time there was one more happy little colt and he fitted into her family picture just fine.
