Faolan shot her mother a questioning glance, bleating as she lost her traction and slid to the ground. Coming up fast, she craned her head, frantically nudging stray bits of grass to get them off. Flopping back on her haunches, she continued, eliminating every spec of the stuff she could reach.
Sighing softly, Brajan shook his head slowly. "You would think she were the great goddess herself...."

"Well, we'll just have to teacher her some humility then," Natsuhi stated matter-of-factly, watching the scene in amusement. These kids were going to be a handful.
Nalani continued to work her way steadily towards her sister. Once close enough, the filly attempted to 'leap' upon her, but rather ended up tumbling into her instead. Oh well. Even with her failed pounce, she still smiled up at her glowy eyed sister and whinnied.

Shoved further up the grass, Faolan turned her fiery gaze on her younger sister, offering up a haughty snort. Wiggling her little brush tail, she tried to push closer to her mother, creeping away.
(( "Violated! I've been violated D:" ))

The navy filly cocked her head in response to her sister's backing away. Didn't she want to play? Surely she wanted to play. This must be some sort of strange game. Perhaps she should press up against daddy like her sister was doing with mommy. Convinced in her mind that this was the game, Nalani shakily made her way back over to her father's side.
(( ^_^ Play! ))

Watching her go through narrowed eyes, Faolan flipped her brush of a tail. That's right, run.
Brajan sighed softly as he watched the pair. Faolan in particular, though as he felt Nalani brush against him, he glanced down in question. "Hmm...?"

Nalani nickered up at her father before nipping one of his scales playfully. If her sister wouldn't play with her, then maybe he would. She tried to prance around, but ended up stumbling and falling onto her side. "  " Perhaps learning to walk first would make playing a bit easier...Natsuhi simply smiled and shook her head. These two were clearly very different from one another. Might make things a bit challenging for the two of them, but she was sure they could handle it.

Brajan pressed a hoof down just beside Nalani. Bowing his head, he nudged her up, then pressed his nose beneath a foreleg, lifting her. Steady on one, he went for a second, then a third, then a fourth. Stepping back, he admired his handiwork. Hmm, a little lopsided...

The filly stood as her father had placed her, looking at him with her head cocked. How come he could move around so easily? He was so big! With a small whuffle, she started practicing walking about, trying very hard not to fall.
The navy mare gave Faolan a soft nudge with her nose. "You need to learn how to walk too ya know," she said with a smile. "I won't let you just lean on me all the time."

Brajan hovered just over the filly, ready to catch and steady her if she started to fall. Or even wobbled a little too much. He breathed a heavy sigh. It was going to be a long day.
Faolan looked to her mother, glowing eyes wide. At the nudge, she only pressed closer to her mother's side, insistent.

 While the family was busy with the opposing forces of the two young fillies, the third and final egg started to twitch. The body inside was tired of the cramped space and was using his horn to dig and poke at the barrier.
He squeaked when his horn first broke through, rays of bright light shining in to blind his dark adapted eyes, cool air flowing in as fluid flowed out.

Brajan's eyes turned back to the remaining egg as the sounds of the third hatching filled the clearing. "Natsuhi..." He offered Nalani a fast lick before turning his attention back to the final egg. "Already time..." He looked on as a small blue nub poked from the shell. All three. Relief flooded through him. All three were coming into the world. So many young mares lost theirs...

Nalani's ears perked up when she heard her brother's small squeak. As fast as she could on her wobbly legs, she hobbled her way over to the remaining egg, poking it curiously with her nose. The filly collapsed down beside it, staring intently as she waited to see if the hole would get bigger.
"Ah, it's hatching?" Natsuhi asked in happy surprise, smiling as their middle child went over to greet the hatching foal. She was quite glad that their youngest was joining them.

After sitting a moment to allow his eyes to adjust to the sudden light, the hatchling started picking and kicking once again at the crack. When the hole was big enough he stuck his head through, inhaling sweet air. He blinked silently at the two blurry forms nearest him before wrestling the rest of the way from the egg. He splayed out on the ground with a gasp of air, coughing slightly as his lungs cleared.

The filly whinnied in surprise when her brother toppled out of the egg next to her, but quickly recovered. She poked him lightly with her nose, making sure that he was ok.
Natsuhi smiled and lowered her head to begin cleaning off the small colt. "Hello, Wyatt," she greeted softly. "Glad you decided to join us."
Nalani cocked her head as she watched her brother being cleaned. What was it with these adults and licking them anyway?

The stallion moved immediately to begin cleaning the little colt, worry seizing him once more. They seemed so weak like this, so vulnerable. Was it exhaustion? It must be. The pain of leaving their warm, safe shell and coming into the cold world. An ear flicked as he doted and fretted.
Yawning hugely, Faolan nestled in the grass, her glowing eyes fixed on the big sources of warmth. But how to get them to come back here? That was the question. Hmm, they seemed to be spreading that warmth to the newcomer. Pushing herself up once more, she toppled back down in the grasses. With a dissatisfied grunt, she settled, chest pressed to the grasses, then crawled and squirmed her way toward the four.
