 Deldragan was doing one of his runs around the house when the merchants arrived. He automatically moved to help Naveen haul his cart in, pretending not to notice that Acacia was slipping away from them. Del was still pretty slow, but he was sturdy, durable. Maybe he'd finally convince Cedo to stop, well, coddling him. "You look busy." Acacia smiled from the entrance of the secret place, white eyes sparkling. "And a lot taller. You really shot up, didn't you?" Cedomir had really grown up well... he'd catch mares like flies.

Cedo turned and grinned at the mare, his tail flicking softly behind him as he studied her for a moment. "And you haven't changed a bit." he remarked lightly, smiling shyly. He turned for a moment, away from her, but soon turned back around and handed her a small flower, almost identical to the one he'd given her as a foal.  Brise moved in beside his brother, Del and grabbed the pull and helped pull it in. He knew Del wouldn't take it as coddling, not from him atleast, especially when he winked conspiratorially at the brother with no horns. He had something he wanted to discuss with Reiko... then with Del, and then possibly Naveen.

Acacia smiled and accepted the flower, a slight blush dusting her cheeks. This feeling was... different. Maybe it was because Cedomir was no longer an adorable, serious but immature colt but a young, maturer, and very good-looking stallion. "Is that a compliment?" she teased. He seemed a bit different from before... what was it? Well, besides the aging.
Deldragan grinned back at Brise, a little curious as to what that conspiratorial wink meant. He didn't mind when Brise helped; when it was him, it felt like helping instead of coddling. But then again, the older stallion didn't often interfere in things like fights, which was usually the area in which the most coddling happened. Brise let Del fight his own battles, and that got a lot of respect from him.

"Definitely a compliment. You are as beautiful as I rememberd... I was afraid that I had made you up.." he teased lightly, though he remained in his spot. The air between them was different, he wasn't sure in what way it was different, but there was definitely a difference in the air between them and for now, he wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Brise grinned and turned back to Naveen after they finished pulling the wagon up. "Del. I need to speak to you in a bit. Come find me in about an hour or so, okay?' He instructed, then waited for the 'colt' and took off to find Reiko to ask her for her input on his idea.

Acacia's light blush deepened, very visible on her lightly-colored coat. She smiled shyly. "No, I'm definitely real..." Oh, her heart was doing all sorts of flips and twists. What was with her? This wasn't how she felt before...
Deldragan nodded, watching his brother sprint off. Even though he'd accepted his slower speed, he couldn't help being jealous every once in a while of the others who could race around with the wind in their mane.

Brise trotted up to his beautiful mate who appeared to be sleeping. A small smile lighted on his face as his eyes shown with the undying love he had for her. He waited, watching her for a moment or two before he lightly nudged her awake. "I'm sorry to wake you, my love." He said softly and sweetly.
Cedomir blushed in return. "Yeah... I can see that... how've you... ben?" He asked, searching for the right topic to discuss with her.

Reiko blinked sleepily, smiling up at her mate when it registered who was waking her up. "Hm? What is it?" she inquired as she tried to focus on what he was saying.
Acacia gave him one of her warm smiles as she responded--and tried to force the blush off of her face. "I've been well. Dad's still a little hesitant about letting me wander on my own, but I've been able to travel to a lot of interesting places with him. Then I took a break to stay with Mom." The blush made its comeback as she shyly glanced away. "But then Dad said he was coming here, and I hadn't seen you in a while, so I thought I'd tag along..."

Cedomir smiled. "I'm glad you decided to come... I was really hoping you would." He admitted as he shuffled his hooves.
Brise curled around his mate on the ground, picking the grass and leaves out of her mane that had tangled in there while she was sleeping.

"I am glad too." Acacia just smiled where she was, feeling surprisingly shy. She was usually full of life and opinionated and... well, not shy! But something about this new-and-improved Cedomir was making butterflies come to life in her stomach. "How... how have you been?"
Reiko sighed happily, letting Brise groom the plantlife out of her mane. With him curled around her, she felt infinitely safe. She had the best mate in the world...

"I'm thinking about traveling with Naveen for awhile.. Then doing some odd tasks around the Isle for whoever will hire me..." He said softly as he continued to groom her.
Cedomir looked at Acacia, then away, unsure of how he wanted to go about asking her the personal question he wanted to.

Reiko listened, despite her partially-asleep state. "Hm... don't you mean we?" she asked with a smile. As nice as his family was, she wasn't going to just stay there while he went and traveled.
Acacia blinked when he didn't answer her question and averted his gaze. She tilted her head, a slight, worried frown forming on her face. "Cedomir?"

Brise grinned and nipped at her ear. "Of course. I was thinking aboutus going with Naveen." He said, emphasizing the us with good nature.
Cedomir looked up at Acacia. "Oh.. oh yeah.. I've been good." He replied with a forced smile in front of his worried gaze

Reiko giggled and leaned into him. "That sounds like a wonderful idea," she replied sleepily but cheerfully.
Acacia stepped closer, the worried frown deepening. "What's wrong, Cedomir?"

"What do you think about inviting Del to come with us? He'll go crazy if he has to stay here." Brise suggested.
Cedo looked back up at Acacia, his blush flaring again. "Nothing... i just... I don't know how to ask..." He trailed off as he tried to think of what he was trying to say. "A.. are you seeing anyone?"

Reiko giggled. "I think he'd be ecstatic. He's only a little less restless than you were at that age." But probably only because Brise had been eager to find Reiko.
Acacia blushed and shook her head. No wonder he was quiet and embarrassed. "N-no, I'm not seeing anyone..."
