"Don't think i'd wanna be that noticeable." You'd get some unwanted attention that way. His Dah might have liked it but he'd much rather go under everyone's radar.
"He's the same color i am mostly .. the blue." He looked down at his legs as he walked for a moment. "Mama's where i got the green and my hair from."
As he walked he noticed his Mama under a tree a bit away. The dark shadow on the other side of her had to be Dah since she wouldn't be that close to another Stallion.
She rested her nose against his neck for a moment. "Flatterer" Sadly it worked even if some day she wished she wasn't so easy to get with his words. The shade was nice though after the sun beating down on her.
Hearing something her ears twitched before she turned to see what was heading down the river. "It seem's we've got company"

"Ah'd never flatt'ah you, Chere." He nickered softly as he turned his head to give her a light nuzzle before turning his head to follow her gaze. His brow furrowed slightly as he stepped away from her, eyeing his son without seeing the other stallion beside him immediately.
"Thought you was out roamin' 'round enjoyin' bein' all grown up. Who said you were welcome back home?" He snorted softly, giving his head a light toss before flashing a bright grin so that his son would know that he was teasing.

"Personal preference, I guess. And that's pretty cool about the looks, that you got a blend. My mum's where I got these weird markings from, but I have no idea where the white came in, seeing as how Mom's silvery and Dad's red. A great mystery." But a nice mystery; he rather enjoyed being white. "But I suppose that'll make it easier to identify him..."
No sooner had the words passed Antony's lips than the dark stallion was approaching, causing Tony to blink a bit in surprise. Seriously, what was going on with that stallion's eyes? They were so bright...like a pair of burning embers or something. And this was Dodger's father?

He snorted at his father and shook his head. "Well really, if you just want me wandering around and getting myself hurt figuring stuff out instead of asking ya and mama i can just turn right back around" He grinned at his father for a moment before he turned his head toward Tony.
"He ain't that cool. Don't have to stare at him."
She followed after Remy and smiled at her son. At least he was making friends. She had been worried he'd take after her too much and end up a loner. "Don't listen to your Dah, he's just grumbling cause you disturbed his nap"
Turning to the other young Stallion she smiled. "I take it you're a friend of my sons?"

He snorted softly, giving his head another light toss. "Ah always said it was good t'figure stuff out on y'r own. Build's character." He nodded before following Rogue's gaze with his own towards the stallion standing beside his son. His brow lofted. "... Dodge' has friends? Good. S'bout time."

"Matter of opinion, I'd say." Personally, Antony thought that Dodger's father was very cool, at least the way his eyes and mane and hooves all seemed to glow. Seriously, that was awesome!
However, Dodger's comment reminded him of one of those little bits of advice one gets as a foal: it's not polite to stare. So he stopped, just in time to turn his bright fanged grin on Dodger's mother. "Well, I like to think that's the case, Ma'am, although it's always possible he just likes the color of my hooves. But yeah; I'm Antony, and it's nice to make your acquaintance. Both of your acquaintances, actually."
This with a slight bow to Dodger's father, as he rather belatedly realized that he was only addressing the green mare. Whoops.
"And yeah; we were having a philosophical ponderance and basically hit a wall, thus the whole 'searching for help' thing. Hopefully we aren't disturbing anything."

"Hey..." He eyed his father before smiling at his mother. "I am perfectly capable of making friends. I'm just picky about them" He shook is head and almost sighed as it fell right back into his face, again.
It was strange to see someone being so polite to his parents since they hadn't really raised their children with that much class but he figured it was just that, a difference in raising.
"We were talking about Winds ... ones like us with wings like birds. We wanted to know if you had ever met any and if you knew where they lived." He looked between his parents carefully. "Tony says that his Dah says there's more Winds than ones like us but i've never seen them"
"At least he's not taking after you and swarming with girls." She laughed at Remy and nudged him gently. "It's a pleasure to meet you Antony. I hope my son hasn't said anything too horrible about us."
She though about the question for a moment. She had met a winged one before but only once.

"Swarmin' with mares?" His brow lofted slightly as he turned towards Rogue. "Chere, there's only one mare for me..." He nickered softly, flashing her a bright, teasing grin. "Th'rest are jus' friends."
That said he quickly turned his attention towards the two young stallions, eager to change the subject before his mate took it upon herself to kick him. "Pleasure t'meet you, Ant'ny. Ah'm Remy, Dodge's Dah an' this is Rogue, his Mama." He nodded his head slowly, keeping an eye on the other stallion as he did so.
"Nevah met any m'self. Guess they could live anywhere... Kinda like us. Ah know lots o' Soqs roamin' 'round diff'rent places. They'd probably have an easier time in th'mountans than we would..." He seemed to ponder to himself for a moment. "Too big t'sit in trees... That'd jus' be silleh. Heck, Ah'd say they live wherever they want to."

At Dodger's comment about being picky about his friends, Antony had to grin. So now he was a member of the elite Friends Of Dodger Association, eh? FODA had a nice ring to it, if a wee bit out of the ordinary. But whatever.
Still grinning, he gave Rogue a wink, forelock briefly covering his face as he moved his head. "Well, we actually haven't had that much time to talk turkey about our parents, Ma'am...Rogue. However, since he had enough confidence in your smarts to recommend we bring this pressing problem to you, I'd say that he can't have THAT many nasty things stored up!"
Glancing from Rogue to Remy, he nodded his head slightly as the older stallion said...almost exactly what they'd been thinking before trying to come up with an alternative. Well, THERE was an example of going with your gut instinct!
Shaking his head, Antony gave Dodger a ruefully amused grin, running the spiked tip of one wing though his mane in another losing attempt to keep it in order. "Gee Dodge, why didn't we think of that?"
Why not, indeed?

He rolled his eyes and grinned at his friend. "I wonder why indeed." They had though that almost though that was before they'd started trying to puzzle out where each kind would have a stronger foothold. He still though that the Winds would do better on the plains where the rest of the big birds were.
"Good, i hate to think he was giving others a bad impression of us." She smiled happily as she spoke. Rogue had no reason to ever think that her son would say anything but loving words about her and Remy but it was always fun to poke fun at him. He was so much more stiff than his brother and sister.

He glanced at his son's friend for a moment, brow furrowed slightly. Had he just winked at Rogue? He shook that thought off quickly, grinning once more. "Only thing Ah can say is that they probably don't pick th'forest t'live in all that often... Basin' that o th'fact that Ah haven't met one yet an' we been livin' here for... Almost a year now. Least, Ah have."

"I suppose that makes sense. Then again, I've got wings and I happen to like the trees...and I know that both of my parents have at least some attachment to the woods as well. Oh well, that's what I get for having an odd family, atypical behavior!"
Grinning, Antony gave Dodger a nudge, then gave both Remy and Rogue a thankful smile. "Well, even if it doesn't actually answer any questions the input is welcome; I guess that we'll just have to take it as an unanswered question. That, or somehow manage to track down MY father and ask him!"
Talk about your complicated processes; but he didn't doubt that Guilian would be pleased he was introducing him to his friends. Of course, he'd probably prefer meeting FEMALE friends...but even Guilian knew the benefits of non-pressurized socializing. He had Ariston, right?

"Told'ya trees'd be bad." Tony's Dah must have been a weird one since he liked the forest. Only little birds hung around there and something their size with wings would most certainly not be that. Finding his friends father would be a good idea though since he had wings and could probably give them a better answer.
He grinned at Tony and nudged him back. "So that mean we're gong to go find your Dah?" That could be a nice little adventure if it was going to be like anything Tony figured it would be. They'd gone to find his parents because they were easy to get a hold of.
"There's always going to be those who differ from the normal." She nodded and leaned her shoulder against Remy. She'd seen his brow furrow and figured it had something to do with Antony winking at her.

He turned to look at Rogue as she leaned against him, tilting his head down so that he could touch his nose to her neck. He then looked back up at the 'boys'. "Sounds like you've got yo'selves an adventure t'have. Any ideas where you'll find this father o' yours?"

Tracking down his father...that could be an interesting pastime, alright. Complicated as well, if they didn't happen to be lucky...but Antony supposed that he might just be up for the challenge if Dodger was up to it as well.
"I suppose so, unless we want to spend the rest of our lives agonizing over this question. Where he actually is is anyone's guess, though...he's sort of on the move these days. Means that he might be just about anywhere, actually...but I know a few of his 'preferred locales'." Now, if he'd just BE in one of those locations...
Glancing back at Remy, he gave the older stallion a grin. "It'll contribute to the adventure, I guess!"
