Welcome to Gaia! ::

Crown melted into Kyran's embrace, finding it easier now to push it aside and just fall into the moment. "Come." He said softly, "Let's go sit with our baskets." He kissed the guys cheek. He really did love Kyran, with all his heart.

Kyran smiled and noddrd, his eyes for Crown alone, he might have flighted with Chandra but the look in his eyes hadn't been like that, not like when he looked at Crown. "Yes, lets snuggle up like a family." Walking over to settle with Crown and the baskets, wondering if it was possible to be more happy, or more in love...

Orion looked over at Eden, to say he was possessive of her now was an understatement. He loved her and wanted to protect her, but how was he meant to protect her from something he had done to her.... even if he hadn't intended to. Well, the answer was simple and yet complicated. Be there for her. For this pregnancy he would be her servant. This was the first time they had had some alone time, and in his mind it was much needed. Orion leaned down and snuggled her softly, treating her like the precious thing she was. "How are you doing?" He asked softly, Chandra had mentioned that as she got bigger she would start getting strange cravings, he hadn't seen any of them yet but he was waiting.... it seemed that everyone believed that the things Eden would crave would give a clue about the number of babies too. Sometimes he wished there was only one, simply so that it wouldn't hurt Eden as much as if there were more... but in his heart he had a fear that it would be three, three's seemed to be popular in this herd, was there something in the water perhaps? Eden herself had been the eldest of three while Orion was one of two.

Eden smiled, having been napping on and off lightly, never really asleep just deeply day dreaming, at least that was her thought. "Mmm? I... I'm good... bit hungry but I don't want this to end just yet..." Smiling, enjoying being snuggled up with him, it just felt so good and soothing. But she was starting to get odd hankerings, onions and peaches, nuts, orange with garlic.... oooh and right this moment she could kill for apples and ruebarb.

Orion stood instantly when Eden tried to move, prepared to catch her -or at least try- should she stumble, it was silly really, he understood this protectiveness was over the top... not that that helped him stop. "Rubarb?" He asked softly, already trying to think of where he could find it. Water, he was sure he saw some growing at the side of some water.... but where?

"Oh?" He said with a slightly chuckle of surprise, it seemed peeing while pregnant was all part of the cause... still... it always seemed to make him chuckle, if it was from embarassment or nerves or amusment, it was unclear.

When she returned he checked her over briefly with his eyes, she was ok. Good. He relaxed a little. "You were saying... Rhubarb... and apples?"

"Still not funny..." Her tone amused, but soon emerging again, moving more slowly, always taking 2 others with her whe she checked her alarms now. Nodding at him. "Yes, I have a hankering for somethign tart.... Tart and creamy would be heaven but I'm going with what is a possibility... so apples and ruebarb..." Nodding havign gotten a whaft of something from the twolegger village when they had taken a walk the other day and she had almost run off to eat whatever it was then and there, she had had no idea what it was other than it was obviously warm as twoleggers liked putting food over fires.

Orion nodded at her, he didn't want to stop her from doing everything.... and they did enjoy flying together.... but something soft to land on? Maybe she could land in the rubarb plants or something? Or the water? He didn't know... maybe she was just joking? With a shake of his head he replaced with thoughts of what they needed instead. "Ok," He thought about it for a little while, "We won't go far, i think I saw some rhubarb on a walk the other day to check some of your alarms.... just past the forest. Can you make it that far?"

Eden started laughing. "Lets see if I can get off the ground first, I feel like I swallowed a rock." Spreading her wings, giving them a few flaps to see how easily she got off the ground. Not doing more than just lifting her hooves off a small distance to gauge how heavy she was. Setting down again she nods. "Ok, if we keep is short I should be fine." Noddign again and smiling, ready to fly though if her suspicions were right she would soon not be able to... She had the feeling she had 3 foals, if that was the case when they started moving it could be interesting and uncomfortable. "What are you hoping for Orion? Boys, girls?"

He looked around, habit now really, before unfolding his wings and taking to the air with her. "My daughter?" It sounded strange to his ears using that term, "Are you so sure you are having a girl?" He said with a smile, even as he checked their direction and started towards were he believed the rhubarb was. "Or are you trying to indulge me?" He said softly, checking up on her and her movements every now and then, she was still graceful, but you could see she struggled the weight obviously enough to make her a little off balance. His eyes wandered to her bump... he was going to be a father. That thought still hadn't sunk in, probably wouldn't for a while.... maybe when they moved and he could feel it? Or maybe not until they were here, safe and sound. "Do they move much?" He found himself asking, even as he thought about what they needed to do. They needed to get baskets, they needed to prepare for the birth, they needed to gather food that would store so they wouldn't have to worry too much for a while.... so much to do.

Eden turned and followed him, trying to do as much gliding as possible, grateful for her two good wings that allowed for that. "You want a girl so till we know othrwise we are having a daughter... I know its already decided for us but maybe some magic will happen if we want it enough?" Stopping talking while she gained her altitude again, having to flap more than usual as she was heavyer. "They havent moved much really yet, I was going to ask Chandra when to expect that, motherhood was one of the things I didn't spend a lot of time on.... I didn't expect to find you after all." Blushing, going quiet again, having been lookign at him but now she was flapping again, following him.

Distracted in their conversation he nearly missed what he was aiming for. "Oops." He said softly, indictaing with his head that they wanted to land now. "Take it easy... ok... you can land on me if you need to." He offered, despite the fact he was far from 'soft'. The panels on his wings snapped fully open as he glided to the ground, a stomp of hooves upon the dirt before he turned to look up at her. Rhubarb leaves were hard to mistake, large and some holding a pinkish tint.... the leaves themselves were poisonous, at least that was what his mother had always told him. Oh no! Another fear... would they poison the babies? Even by accident? He closed his eyes, thankful for the blindfold in place, he didn't need Eden to see him panicking again.... he needed to talk to someone, maybe he would seek out Sonnet after all, talk to the older stallion... from what he knew the guy didn't want Chandra to have more children yet, was it so terrible? Or was it simply a reason he didn't know that stalled such thoughts?

"Yeah.... I think talking to Chandra would be a good idea."

Eden followed after him, her wings working to keep her up as she slowly decended, working extra hard so she could just settle her hooves on the ground gently. Smiling at him, a little worn out from the flying. "Lets go and see Chandra then once we are done here." Smiling at him, wandering over to the rubarb, tilting her head a moment before simply leaning in and biting the stem where it went from pink to green the leaf falling away, taking a bite from the stem, looking round to see if there were apples near.

He shook his head, "I don't want you flying again... I can come back and get some more." He was trying to be realistic, not controlling, she was tired, it didn't take a genius to see that. "Red it is...." He said to himself as he picked up speed to get some for her. Slamming his front hooves into the tree he watched as several fell from the branches and landed around him. He let out a rather indifgnified squeak as he dodged them, before opening his mouth and using it to grab on to one. Using his front hooves he slowly and carefully rolled them back to Eden... ok, she was right, no way they could carry much of this home for her, he would have to come back later to get more. Watching as she ate the Rhubarb he couldn't help but smile, if only a little one, he had helped give her what she needed. He felt a wash of pride at that.

Smiling at him as he wandered back with the apples, snagging one up and eating it, giving a sigh of enjoyment this clearly what she had been craving. "I flew over ok didn't I?" Blushing tending to be selfconcious when she ate lately, getting bigger because of the foals and eating so much more than normal, especially when he wasn't eating was embarrassing. Nudging an apple over to him, not wanting to eat alone. Nipping the leaf off of a second stick of rubarb and starting on that, taking a bite of apple now and then to mix the flavours up.

He looked up to where she was inidcating... "oh" For some reason he hadn't believed they were so close! He sighed and dropped his head to the floor. He really was in an upside down world right now. Looking up at her when he heard her getting closer he accepted the kiss and kissed her back softly, "Do what again?" His mind wasn't thinking straight, and part of him was wondering if she meant coming back for food.

Nuzzling into his mane with a gentle sigh, nipping him softly so he brought his head back up off the ground, knowing he was just stressed out and not thinking straight, thne again he seemed to not be eating much or sleeping much. "We don't have to have foals again, you are so worried about me that your not looking after yourself properly, if anythign happens to you I'll be lost with who knows how many foals. Though i suppose the blessing is that I'll have that part of you to keep always.... But I don't want just a part, I want all of you..." Giving a sniff, determind not to cry.
