Entreri flared his wings, launching himself into the sky. it had been about a month or so, since he had last seen Ladius who had told them they where indeed expecting foals and that they where to be born within the month. the nice breeze wipped his mane and tail back as he flew as he took his tail traveling to where he figured Ladius who be. it seemed the right amount of time had passed to now check to see if the foals where born, wether or not Ladius would be happy to see him coming to check on her was something he didnt care to think about.

If the concept of checking up had indeed come up, Ladius would have had...words to share with Entreri; that kind of blatant insult wasn't something she'd ignore, even if she were in the midst of labor.
But then, it was hardly an issue. Four days had passed since she'd given birth; while the process had been long-drawn and uncomfortable, it was far less unpleasant or painful than the majority of the injuries she'd sustained over the course of her fighting career. Yet another thing to take in stride.
But now, it was over; the two foals had been secured in the baskets she'd scouted from one of her so-called 'herdmates, and she was up, about, and moving with only the slightest hint of stiffness. Now, all she needed to do was keep an eye on the baskets; once the foals were strong enough, they'd be out, and then....then, the training could begin.
Even the thought made her smile.

Entreri had no clue she had already had the foals for 4 days but that was all the better cause he had no plans of being there when the foals actualy where born. now the training of the foals when they where finaly out of the baskets and capable of being trained thats what he would take part in. finaly landing in a open clearing, he ruffled his wings while looking around for any sight of any or anything. tossing his man, he had a even more arrogance in the way he walked, as he started to look for ladius.

At the moment, Ladius was enjoying a relatively relaxed moment. The baskets were quiet, the weather mild, and she was taking advantage of the daylight to stretch out muscles long disused.
However, that didn't mean that she had let her gaurd down. Raising one leg and extending it out behind her, she swivelled an ear in the direction of soft footfalls. So...that was it for solitude, it seemed.

it didn't take Entreri long to find the one he was searching for as he caught sight of Ladius guarding two baskets no less. it seemed she was more relaxing than guarding but he knew she would never let her guard down just like he never let his own down. he foudn a certain amusment in it all as he finaly spoke. " do you always relax as you watch over baskets, or did i overlook something here?" keeping a compertable distance, he ruffled his wings to smooth them out.

Without so much as looking at Entreri, Ladius raised the leg until it was straight as an arrow and level with her back, then began to rotate it slightly. So, he'd finally decided to make an appearance...
"As though you'd have any idea with regards to how I would or would not monitor the general well-being of my offspring, anyway; it's not necessary to stare intently abotu and look uncomfortable to be watchful, as you should well know. The ears and the bpdy are just as good at detecting new arrivals....or did you think that I didn't know your step by now?"
At this she finally turned her head to look at him, her expression showing the slightest traces of annoyance at the even implied accusation that she would let her guard down. The very idea!

ah firey as ever that Ladius that always brought amusment for Entreri because so far he had been able to worm his way about with out so much as having her try and give him a swift kick in the a** for his arrogance. some would say he was lucky but he knew how to to wiggle his way out of a situation by talking or force if needed. " always the seriously one and never missing a beat. with how often we have met i have no doubt you dont already know my step." it was clear she was of only slight annoyance with him but no matter he had only come to see if the foals had been born. " so theres only two foals?" eyeing the baskets, there was a certain smugness mixed with almost disapointment in his eyes for there where only two from what he saw. but there was no reason to disapointed with just two foals, it ment less foals to train which also ment less trouble of keeping them in line and so that slight disapointment was gone as soon as it came.

'Only.' As though there was any 'only' in having two strong, healthy offspring. Lowering her leg back down, Ladius turned and stalked over to Entreri, not stopping until the two were mere inches apart.
"Fewer offspring mean less of an exhaustion of resources, meaning that the few will end up stronger and more sound than many would be, given the same resources are available in both cases. Regardless, it's no concern of yours anyway."
Insufferable stallion, getting his ego bruised like all the others. Huffing, the mare turned and stalked back to the baskets, coiling herself around them and giving Entreri a look that would likely have caused weaker stallions to crumble.

Entreri only gave a chuckle after she went back to being coiled around the baskets. " i'm no fool and know its better to have only two foals than a large amount. and i find it is my concern when it comes to my offspring."he wasn't going to allow her to make it out like he was some stupid fool, that was something he woudlnt tolerate. " naw that we had made it clear having two foals is better than many. when do you think they will beable to start training?" the training was really all he was interested in at this point since it seemed Ladius had, had the foals before he had choosen to check up on if the foals had indeed been born.

Attitude attitude attitude. Though she herself would never admit or even consider the concept that temper could be related to childbirth, she was nonetheless officially annoyed with Entreri. Why, she wondered, would mares WANT to put themselves in close proximity with stallions? All they did was act like pompous asses and assume mares were mentally and physically deficient; even those that managed to avoid suchmental lapses in day to day life were still prone to make them otherwise...as Entreri was showing now.
"If you know, then perhaps next time you should try to avoid showing disapointment at what is undeniably a better situation. And perhaps it is your concern, to an extent, but as of right now, it is mine." Glancing away from the stallion, Ladius eyed the baskets, contemplating the length of time the foals within were likely to remain there, then announced crisply, "I would guess that they will officially be emerging within the next week. Until then, they will remain in the baskets, strengthening their limbs."

Entreri mentaly rolled his eyes and turned his back to ladius before glancing back. " good i will be back then.." he then started to walk off. " until a weeks time Ladius." he was in shall we say somewhat of a foul mood as he left just because he let the little dispute slide becoming somewhat of a pushover this time. no matter he was going to now put himself through some training and also start plotting. it wouldnt due to allow himself to become a pushover just over stupid foals and he was not going to allow it again.
