Jasper looked at Carlisle as he approached and frowned a little, he wasn't about to have this conversation here but he didn't want his father fighting, knew how much it went against his nature, he was a healer not a fighter.... and in Jasper's mind the guy had already sacrificed too much, it was Jasper's turn to protect him. The frown faded almost as quickly as it appeared and he bowed his head in appreciation all the same to Carlisle.
Orion was relieved when the group dispersed a little. Taking a visable sigh of relief. He looked at Eden, he hadn't thought of boys names.... but Sophia mentioning them brought the idea to thr front of his mind. "Are there any names you like?" he found himself asking softly.
Chandra hugged her friend gladly. "It seems the group is breaking up now anyways, perhaps you can help me gather some things for the party? While we are at it we can search for good plants to gather seeds from and see if they are in season yet?" She didn't want to rush things, knowing that nature took it's time and impatiences didn't make it go any faster.
Haki looked over at Heze, wondering what she was thinking even as he stayed silent. He had no intention of asking and disturbing the quiet 'truce' they seemed to have. His mind was still on fire and buzzing from the earlier development. Was he really about to prepare to try and claim her for his own?
Renesme smiled at her daughter, "We will see what we can do!" She chirped brightly before leaving with the other mares.
Alice kissed her daughters cheek, even as her eyes wandered to her father in concern, she hoped that he would stick to medicine, hoped he would keep his new apprentice Auva and go gather some stuff for their journey. He wasn't a young stallion yet... yet another thing she would look up in her visions later. It was going to be a long and exhausting day she feared.
Sophia blushed, "Not fair!" She pouted, even as she followed the pair to go in search of treats.
Carlisle looked at Jasper still, shaking his head, his nature or not they had all found out the hard way that you couldn't always be and expect others to be merciful. He| favoured healing and peace, but if they needed a fighter then he had the ability to fight. Being a healer could also make you dangerous because you knew better than others where to strike. He gave Jasper a smile, though different and not biologically related they looked the most like parent and child out of the family.
Eden nuzzled agaisnt Orion now he was no longer hiding in her mane, smiling at him softly, glad he wasn't too upset. "Well... Remember when we told mum and Crown the news I had an idea for a name? I think it would suit a boy best, though it would do well for a girl too." Kissing his cheek and watching the others wander off, leaving them to their soft talking.
Cael nodded. "Gladly, I'll be more than happy to help." Smiling, not having thought to bring the bag he had ket that had belonged to his |||mother, but they would manage, and he would keep an eye out for some treats along the way. Happy to walk off with Chandra.
Sonnet looked at Carlisle, having no idea really what he was doing. "As things stand currently I'm the only protector we have... Maion seems to need the space from responsibility so by default that makes me guardian. I intend to see that Maion has the rest and break he needs." He wasn't totally sure what had happened but with the bits that had been said and the fact that was had been around less and less Sonnet thought that Maion and his mate might be parting ways or close to it. Whatever was wrong it had hurt Maion deeply and he needed time, like anyone did, to gather his thoughts and let hurt feelings ease. "I know not all of you will want to take up a position as a protector, that's fine I'm not going to make you. Those that do can come see me individually. As it is, I'll ask that you all come to a few training sessions, we can see what everyone can do, do a little sparring and work out what strategy is best for us to use.... If we have the need. We are after all bringing a mix of experience and skills together. Tomorrow if you are willing we will start looking at what we can do and pooling out knowledge for how to best guard ourelves. We will soon be nomads for a while. And if anyone has ideas or suggetions, talk to me please, I've not had training for this so pointing out things I could do better is appreciated." Looking a little uncomfortable, he didn't know how to lead, but he had watched others and hoped that he was at least doing ok so far.
Heze shifted on her hooves as her father spoke, he was not a chatty stallion and in this meeting he had said so much all at once that it was so unlike him. Looking at Haki, leaning close enough to whisper to him. "Asante Haki" Tempted to add more but now was not the time.
Abloec nodded and listened, glancing round seeing the others scattering here and there to gather thigns for the party.

Haki nodded to Heze, "Welcome Heze." It was strange, in many ways they held conversations in both languages now. At least he was getting the practise he needed. He turned his attention back to Sonnet, wondering if the guy would ever build up some confidence for this... it was clear he felt uncomfortable, clear he didn't choice this... the similarities to the path he had been forced upon was almost uncanny. Shaking his head he pushed that aside, cleared his throat and said softly. "Tomorrow then..." Before bowing his head slowly and turning to leave. He wasn't sure he should linger more....
Orion nodded at Eden, then frowned. "You never actually told me the name, you simply said it was a combination of mine and Crown's. Did you figure it out then? This name you wanted?" He asked, willing to let her have and use any name she wanted. Be it for a boy or a girl.
Chandra smiled and nodded at Cael. "Thank you." And with that the pair of them wandered into the forest, finding nuts and fallen fruit to take back to the herd later, using a large leaf she made a rough sling to hold the items.
Jasper turned to look at Sonnet and said softly, "I am sure I am as the same as everyone when I say this, but use me as you will. I'll go for a fly tonight and try help in determining the best way to go. With winter coming we will want to pick a relatively sheltered route so that we are not constantly assaulted by the weather, especially if there will be foals joining our journey before it reaches it's conclusion." They may not have many hooves but they had enough considering how many had decided to come with them. They could make this work. Teams of three rotated on and off. Yes, they could do this. He would make his suggestion to Sonnet in private later.
Sonnet nodded to the ones remaining, noting that Heze had left with Haki, managing a smile. "Okay, thank you all, now lets get thigns together to celebrate these foals. I had been wondering why Chan and Renesme had been all whispers lately." Nodding to them deciding that this was enough of a meeting for now.
Heze gave her dad a nod before following after Haki, excited now. She might actually get to be a protector, not to mention that they were having a party, and foals were on the way. "Haki! Haki! Lets go and find something really delicious and sweet together for the celebration?" Wanting to go together but it was his choice to make. Smiling at him, clearly excited about something that had happened today. A quiet secret part of her wondered if Haki would want a mate that trained as a warrior...
Eden smiles at Orion. "Rigel... When you say it properly it sounds like Regal, and when you are regal you have a crown, it is also the brightest star in the constelation Orion." Kissing him softly and nuzzling. "Thats the idea I had, and I think it makes pretty name."
Carlisle leaned close to Jasper, beign a little cheeky. "Come on grandpa letd go help the womenfolk with the festivities of another generation of Cullens." Chuckling he nodded to those left and headed off to find someething that he could gather snow from the mountaintop in, thinking to make some flavoured snow with some sweet berries.
Abloec just nodded, nd not sure what else to do went to go and find something for the gathering.
Sonnet looked around s everyone disbursed, pondering on going and getting Maion, he would want to hear the good news, would it cheer him up?

Haki looked at Heze as she spoke and nodded softly, "It would make me happy to help." He said slowly, hoping he got the words right, they sounded right to him.
Jasper cringed a little at his fathers teasing but chuckled good heartedly. "Yeah yeah... come on the great-grandpa... let's go find something that blows everyone out of the lake!" He smiled softly, excited to see the brood that Eden would bring into the world, and boys... he had a soft spot for boys. What would they look like he wondered? Sometimes he envied his mates ability.
Orion nodded softly at Eden. "Regel?" It was a pretty name, she was so clever for thinking of it. "It's lovely...." He blushed a little as he thought of his next question. "...will we call them Cullen's?" He had no idea, but he didn't mind either. It wasn't as if he had a family name, though he had heard his mother refered to as 'Ms. Dragonfly' in the past.
Maion stood looking up at the mountain, he had once called it home and now he was tempted to do so again. Would his old cave still be there? Or would someone else have claimed it for their own in all the years he had been away? Elijah wiggled on his neck and he wondered if the little fox could sense his mood. It was as turbulant as the Ocean itself, his emotions churning within him. He was trying to be rational, knew in his heart what he wanted to do... but all the wisdom in the world couldn't contain the flood within him. A gush of water from the lake sprouted forth and covered him, making him look very much like a drown rat. Turning in surprise he looked at the sleek waters surface... that hadn't happened in a long time, he really must be getting emotional if his powers were acting on their own again.
Sonnet wandered towards Maion, quirking his head a little and then looking up at the sky, not able to find a cloud there to block the view. Why was Maion wet? Shaking his head sure he didn't want to know he put a smile on his face and wandered up to his father in law. "Maion I've come to get you."
Heze nodded, subconciously confirming he had got them right, grinning at him and bouncing a little on her hooves, acting much younger than she was in her excitement. "A party! and foals! I've never seen a foal since I was one." Beaming at him happily. "What should we get?"
Carlisle was silently glad that Jasper missed off one of the greats there, giving a faint snort as he found a bag that would be ideal, and a large enough bit of slate to use as a shovel. "Jasper we are not making anythign that explodes, you will please go and find a mix of soft berries. I'm going to get some snow off the mountain top." Grinning, having made this long long ago before they had had to run for their lives, it had been a treat then and Carlisle had decided it was time to resume the tradition.
Eden smiled deciding not to correct him just yet, she didn't want him to think she was criticising. We don't have to call them Cullen, its a matter of if you want to or not. They will be Cullens weather we call them that or not."

Haki considered the question for a while, he actually had no idea what to gift foals or to take to a foaling party. Flowers? No, they weren't rare here.... he frowned, really not sure. Then he wondered about a fruit he had seen long ago on his travels. "Coconuts?" That was probably a silly question but he said it all the same.
Orion nodded, understanding her statement. Kissing her forehead he said softly, "Get some rest Eden, you look a little tired." He was overprotective, he knew it but he couldn't stop it.
Jasper quirked a brow at that, "You believe I would cause an explosion?" He chuckled, "Perhaps you are right... fruit... ok, I can do berries." He pouted a little at the fact that Carlisle was going to the mountains. "You did always get the best jobs." He teased as he went off to do as he was bid.
Maion looked up at the voice, the question clearly spoken in his eyes. He was needed, why? "What's wrong Sonnet?" Maion may have been planning to leave the herd lands, but until he did he would not abandon those of the herd, in fact he rather hoped that when he did leave they still wouldn't think he had abandoned them. He loved them all as if they were his own children, and this one more so than others.... he had mated his actual daughter after all. "Can I help with anything?" He had noticed a burst of commotion, groups of females and males wandering off in random directions as if looking for something, he hadn't thought anything of it until Sonnet appeared.
Heze tilted her head at that. "I'm not sure what that is?" Looking at him questioningly. "Is it tasty? Do you think we could find some?" Having no idea what one was or how to eat it but it would make it very special with somethign so rare.
Eden smiled and nodded, nuzzling into Orion with a smile. "Just a little nap, I don't want to miss anything ok?" It didn't take long and she was asleep, snuggled with her mate just when everyone had left them.
Carlisle chuckles and grabs a net as well that he had found in his wanderings. "Its the benifits of havign had the bright idea and of being the senior family member son." Looking much younger and cheeky as he looked at Jasper. "Haven't you worked out that perk of parenthood yet?" Golden eyes dancing as he watches Jasper go after berries, while he went after decidedly more cold things. Taking off for the mountains.
Sonnet shook his head. "Theres nothing wrong, I just thought you would want to share in the celebration, we would all like you to come. Eden is expecting foals, three sons according to Alice..." Not sure if he should tell Maion about their little meeting and how nearly everyone was wanting to come with them. He wondered about Crown a little, but he wasn't worried, somehow he knew that Crown would find his way back if leaving was his choice for now.

Maion laughed at that, foals! Oh how joyous! Everyone knew he had a weakness for them, indulging them all and spending time and telling them stories. He would miss that most of all, though he suspected the winds may very well bring him back this way one day... for now... he just needed to breath, and a change of scenery would help in that. "Three boys? Poor Orion, I do fear he will be a little overwhelmed by them all, but I am sure Eden will keep them all in line. Stubborn as a tree that one." He smiled, the news putting him in much better spirits than he had been in a while. "I wouldn't miss the party for anything. I will be there." He said softly, already wondering if he should find a gift for the three young foals.
Orion watched Eden as she slept, content to do nothing more than protect her and keep her safe, even if his mind whispered that here, in the heart of their lands, was the safest place for her to be right now. He would strangely miss it here. But home was were the heart was, and his heart would forever belong to Eden.
Haki looked puzzled a moment, wondering if he got the wrong word... no, he was pretty sure it was right. "You find them on kitropiki (tropical) islands. Hot places." Looking around he wondered if they would find one in time. "If we fly now... I think we find in time." If not they would come back empty clawed, and that would be a shame. "They brown. Hairy. Full of...." He didn't know the word 'milk' wasn't exactly one that came up in every day conversation so he used his own word, not that he had shared that with Heze yet either. "Maziwa" (Milk)
Heze thought about it a little. tropical places, she had nver been anywhere tropical, she felt a thrill at the idea. "Lets go get one then, before it is too late, I really want to see one now." Grinning at Haki, a little flushed from the idea of an adventure alone together, all set to take off, still asking questions. "What is maziwa?" (milk)
Eden slept quietly, smiling and relaxed, havign snuggled close to her mate. Having total trust in her herd that she had no fear to travel with the foals, besides without everyone aroun them she didn't think that Orion and herself could manage so well with 3 alone. Starting to dream, imagining that her foals had others to play with, that the herd were home again and everyone was back to beign happy.
Sonnet smiled at Maion, glad to see him looking happier again. "We also have some old friends visiting, I'm sure they will be glad to see you too." Half tempted to tell him that he could think of a gift later, after all there was time till the foals arrived, but he didn't want to give away that everyone was moving on with him. "We are going to gather by the big rock, I think thats where they have left Eden and Orion, he wont leave her side and she had finally got comfortable." Chuckling softly remembering goingthrough the very same thing with Chan. Giving Maion a nod. "I'm going to take those big water holders Eden made over to the party area and fill them with water, do you think Elijah can find Mossup, I have no idea if she is with Eden but she hates to miss anything." With that he carried on past the stallion to find the water holders, thinking he might go up the mountain a bit to get the coolest freshest water especially for the party.

Maion nodded softly, almost tempted to say something about Sonnet and Chandra having more foals and not wanting to miss it when they did, but he decided not to... he had only had one set of foals and all attempts had more had brought up naught. He feared he was doomed to never have anymore foals of his own, but that was why he cherished all those in the herd as if they were his own. Each stealing a slice of his heart for themselves. "Sure, I shall ask her." When Sonnet carried on walking he shook his head a little, hoping to bring Elijah forth. "Elijah, will you do Sonnet a favour and help find Mossup?" Sure enough the little fox wiggled free of his mane and jumped to the floor, the jump having become greater after he grew into the body of an elder. She looked up, nodded and started off to search. And then... Maion was alone again. An ache in his heart once more.
Haki smiled at Heze and nodded, "Come then." Before he had taught her some of his own tongue he would often lace her with compliments about her beauty and how delicate he thought she was, but not that wasn't quite so possible... especially since she asked what words meant on an individual level and Haki refused to lie to her. So instead, he thought them in head, Thought of beautiful rosey words that depicted her as the flower she was. "Maziwa?" He opened his wings and took to the air, sensing the heat on the currents of the wind and heading for it. "Thick... white... eh... you drink like water.... Mothers produce for foalings." It was the only way he could think to describe milk, it wasn't as if it was a commonly used words. Leaves and Berries were far more used.

With that the whole herd was alive. The searching and gathering of 'treats' for a party helping to keep the community of the Miakoda herd together, despite the news they would soon be leaving. A strange calm spread over everyone, and as the happy glow set in and the laughter started they once again remembered why they were together. They were a family. A family that right now needed them in a very different way.
The party was fun. Eden blushed and teared up at the gifts and 'offerings' of her friends and family, while Orion pretty much remained with his head resting up Eden, his eternal source of strength and tranquillity.
Maion, despite his heart being heavy joined the herd in their celebrations, his eyes wandering to Sengdroma as a sad longing set in. Would he never have foals of his own again? They had tried for many years and had yet to be rewarded again. Now, Maion suspected he was too old, too old and too upset.
No one spoke of the move or the turbulence that was slowly building within the herd.... for one night they simply celebrated what was.
They were all together.
They were all safe.
They were all happy.
In the moments that past from dark to light, they dance and laughed, gossiped and played... and it wasn't until the shining moments of the morning when they finally settled down to sleep. The dawn of the Miakoda herd.
Things were changing, but with all changes they were so much easier when you had your family beside you.

--------------A FEW DAYS LATER--------------
Chandra stretched next to her mate a few days after the party, something she often did, it was comfortable being with Sonnet. He didn't need or want her to be anything else but herself. Leaning over she kissed him softly before grinning, very much like the foal he made her feel like at times. "Good morning." They had started on the preparations for moving, her father had agreed to hold off on an immediate retreat to allow them time to gather what they needed, especially since Eden -a soon to be very pregnant mare- was going to be coming along too. Food had been gathered and preserved, a scouting party had gone out to decide which way to go, and Chandra was quietly confident this would work out... even if the thought of leaving her mother, sister and brother behind hurt her. "We have much to do today.... " She said softly, knowing that they had planned to try and leave tomorrow on the full moon. Fitting to having their guardian in full glory when they left.
Sonnet nuzzled Chan gently and gave her a warm smile. "Good morning love.... Yes we have much to do..." Looking around but remaining snuggled close to her, he treasured the moments when it was quiet and just them. He needed to go and see his family and explain.... He had left when he mated to Chandra, that had been a tear and a change, but now there would be who knew how far between them, he owed them an explanation, and to be sure that they would be safe, especially as it seemed some were leaving that would have helped protect his father and sisters.... He wouldn't leave them unprotected...

Chandra embraced the nuzzle with love and melted into her mate, she too loved their stolen moments together. She knew her mate well enough to know he was thinking about something, so gentle nuzzled him once more before asking, "What's on your mind? Still worrying about everyone?" She wasn't teasing him, knew her mate had a big heart and was trying to get the best for everyone, herself included, it was part of the reason she had fallen in love with him. "It will work out.... you'll see." She sounded confident but in truth Chandra was still nervous about it all, everything she had known since she was a foal was shattering around her, and there was nothing she could do but try and pick up the pieces.
Sonnet nuzzled her again and held her closer with his wings. "I was worrying about my sisters and father.... If Ab and Cael are coming with us I was fretting that there would be no help for my father to protect them all.... I'll drop by today, talk to Ivory, maybe see if I can't gather a few others near by to help like Ab's daughter and her mate, they don't live far away... Once I know that all is well with them I can totally focus on looking after you and everyone else." Nuzzling the tip of his nose to hers. "Besides I already stepped away from my family to come here, I'm just making sure they have help if they need it now that I will be father away. You my North Star look lost at sea now that we are leaving. I know its hard ot leave ones you love behind. Try thinking about it as see you later and not good bye. You will see them again." Kissing her nose and snuggling her close.

Chandra thought about his words and nodded, "That sounds like a good idea." She wouldn't want Sonnet to worry about his family, and it actually stung a little to think that he gave up his family to be with her.... was she asking too much of him? Was it possible Chandra was being too selfish? She gulped and looked down, simply taking in his scent as she continued to listen. A see you later and not a good bye? She liked the sound of that, though it didn't take the sting out of it. At least she would have her mate and children, that was something at least... right? "I'm sorry, for pushing this on you." She said, almost too quietly, "...but I... I just couldn't.... leave him alone. You know?" Smiles sheepishly at Sonnet, "And... I'm starting to think that staying here is too much for everyone." The danger had only increased lately, more skinwalkers and kalona's and beasts wandering into their land.... drawn by the perminant presence of a herd perhaps? Or just bad luck? "By the moon..." She looked up then, seeing the nearly full circle glistening in all it's glory above. "...I hope we find happiness."
Sonnet gave her a n**, not hard but something akin to a pinch. "Never be sorry to me, If not for you and your father I'd probably still be working out my wings... I chose this, I chose you and to move my life here with you. So no sorries, not to me. I just want to be sure that they have help if they need it. We will and can all come and visit." Looking up at the moon for a moment and nuzzling her again and blushing letting out his poetic side. "Listen to the exhortation of the dawn! Look to this day! For it is life, the very life if life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence. The bliss of growth. The glory of action. The splendor of beauty; For yesterday is but a dream. And tomorrow is only a vision; But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day! Such is the salutation of the Dawn!" Blushing deeply, he always felt awkward when he spoke like that, murmering as he shited to get up and make some space for him could regain his composure. "Happiness depends upon ourselves."

Chandra smiles and giggled a little at his words, he was always so embarassed by it, even after all this time, but she loved him dearly no matter what he did or said... and this time, she understood what he was trying to say. "Our destinies are there waiting for us to take them.... sieze the day and all that." She chirped, a little reluctantly getting to her four hooves before shifting to look down at him. "And I plan to do just that... for us.... for everything.... for everyone." Sonnet did always have a way of giving her faith and confidence in herself, from the outside Chandra may come across as brimming with confidence and joy and lacking self doubt, but she was just like everyone else. Soquili. She nodded softly and looked around, "There isn't much left to prepare, I need to check on the gathered supples and see if Eden wants some help with her bags and stuff, though from what I saw yesterday Sophia has been helping her... and Orion of course." Orion and Eden made an almost odd pair, but they were good together. Proving that sometimes you didn't need to try and fit in to belong. "I want to check everyone is fit for travel, so I was going to talk to Carlisle about doing some checks today...." She looked over at him playfully again, "You too. No escaping just because you have other things to take care of too." She giggled playfully.
Sonnet lowered his eats and gave her a disgruntled look and sighs. "I wont ever expect someone to do something I wont do so yes, I'll let Carlisle poke at me till he is satisfied my legs aren't going to fall off or something.... You focus on Eden, her and Haki are the ones I'm most concerned about." He thought it was a little foolhardy of the pregnant mare but staying alone was even more so, at least this way the whole herd would be there for the foals, and maybe some new life would chase away the gloom.

Chandra nodded, accepting the order easily since she knew Sonnet did it because he cared and was trying to help. "Why are you worried about Haki?" She asked softly, out of them all the desert stallion was likely to be the most used to travelling.... at least that was her theory. Then again, he likely flew everywhere, and that wouldn't be an option for this many.
Sonnet shifted on his hooves, stretching as he woke up fully just needing to eat to be ready for all the day held for them. "Kimi nearly killed him not long ago, he might seem better but he is still recovering. Its probably a good thing we have Eden with us, I don't think his recovery would be helped by a faster pace and further distances. He should be 100% fit by the time Eden has the foals and they are all grown enough to handle more... I need his self confidence intact if he is to be a protector... Besides Heze wold be mad if she thought I had done anything to upset him and I don't want her mad at me for no reason..." Sounding sheepish, far from afraid of Heze, but he also didn't like to see her upset or angry, especially not with him.

Chandra suddenly remember that, why hadn't she thought about Haki's injury. He was moving around so much more now, and she was so busy that she hadn't realised it... but of course, Sonnet would. He had an eye for such details after all, even if he didn't realise it. "Oh... yeah... of course." She said softly, nodding while thinking more. "I think he might appreciate being given some light duties.... Heze too." Their daughter was strong willed and stubborn. So very different from her mother, who refused to fight and learn to defend herself... she was constantly worried about her daughter, but supposed there were worst paths she could have picked. "You're such a softy when it comes to your girls." Grins down at him, "I swear no one would believe it if I told them." Not that the pack didn't already know, they saw the love in Sonnet's eyes, knew that his rules about Chandra and them was all in an effort to protect them. Sure he could come across as controlling and demanding sometimes but Chandra saw it for what it was, his desperate need to keep them safe, to know they were ok and guarded, and who could hate him for that? For wanting the best, for doing everything in his power, using his own hooves, to make his dream and wish come true.
Sonnet turned away looking disgruntled as she had made him blush, often cursing hos easily it shone through his coat to show. "There's lots to do.... I'll see if I can find something light for Haki... And something for Heze..." He could imagine the fight she would give him if she thought he was babying her. Closing his eyes wondering where the random streak of feminism came from in his eldest. She could be very millitant in prooving that she could do anythign a stallion could and then be all soft and sweet looking after Haki... It boggled the mind. He had seen though that Haki was not overly happy about Heze being a protector.... Maybe it was something to talk to the younger stallion about... His eyes popping open. What was he thinking, if he left the stallion to put his hoof in it then Heze wouldn't have a male around her, a prospective mate no less.... ut thne she would be hurt and he would hate that... Groaning wishing some things could be simple.

Chandra tilted her head back and looked over at Sonnet, more than aware he was worrying about... something. "What's got you in a twist? She asked, grin still in place since she could guess given who they were talking about. Haki and Heze. They were sweet together in Chandra's opinion, though talking to her daught about the birds and the bees had been... beyond embarassing. "She's stronger than she looks. Have faith in her... them..." Chuckles softly, "I rather like Haki as a son-in-law... what you think?" Winks, purposefully trying to get a rise out of her mate. "What do you think? A spring mating ceremony?" Grins again.
Sonnet knew what she was doing and though he was disgrunted by the whole idea, let alone planning anything before anything had been decided. So he shook his head and gave what eemed a relax stretch, starting towards where they would find breakfast. "Heze said she wanted a winter one, when theres snow everywhere, Haki implied his peoples traditions were spring summer based. There will need to be a lot of talking between them to work out what traditions they want from where included." He honestly had no idea what traditions Haki had in regards to mating, and as far as he knew they weren't at that stage but he so badly wanted to flip things around on his mate as she was always teasing him about the girls and poking at his paternal instincts.

Chandra giggled with delight when he mate decided to 'play' with her, the idea of a winter ceremony was fine too, "Too long away, I will have to talk to her." She teased, even as a slight whisper that she would lose one of her babies came to mind. At least she believed Haki would look after her... right?
Shaking her head she thought about it more and then sighed. "I'm too young to be a grandmother... I wonder if this is how my father felt when we told him I was expecting?" She asked, frowning ever so slightly.
Sonnet choked a cough. "YOU didn't tell him." Looking at her remembering well the look on Maion's face as Sonnet delivered the double whammy of their mating and the foals coming. Sighing as he kept walking, disgruntled that she hadn't even paused and had worse upped the ante... So much for getting his own back, even if it was just a little.
