So the foals were enjoying life outside of the mountains. It was nice to come back down from the snow white slopes, the cool air... Though it pained her to leave her possible birthplace. Her children's birthplace, also. It was time to let them meet other and adventure around like their parents, herself and Twilight. A grin tugged at the mare's dark blue lips as she grazed at dusk, crimson eyes looking around. Her foals should be bustling home now from their day at play.

Zevach was surely terrorizing other foals, probably adults at that, too. Cosette was just waiting for the complaints. She wanted to say she had tried to restrain the boy, teach him better, but... He was a foal, and perhaps he would grow ou of it? She didn't know. She couldn't remember how her mother parented her and her siblings.

Eonine was surely making friends. Oh, how Cosette worried for her baby's speech! If anyone made fun of her... Cosette let out an over-proetctive huff, swallowing the chewed grass in her mouth. They would certainly not do that. Eponine was a pretty little filly with a big heart. Certainly others could see past that.

And then there came Marius. Her eye lids drooped a bit with concern as she raised her head, looking off towards the forest edge. The last basket to open was Marius's. He was also the most reserved of her pregnancy, not running about and playing wth other's like his siblings. It concerned the arctic mare, as he prefered to stcik by her side or go off and muse about things... And if he did interact with others it was with his sister talking aor fighting with Zevach.

'Twilight', she mused, shaking her head, wishing for some telepathic response from her mate, 'What could be holding him back?'

She knew that hisnature was to be more mature, apparently. But ever since she mentioned to her son taht she had eben feeling ill as of late...

Well, he seemed to be even more high-strung than ever.

He stumbled out of the forest, his bi-colored eyes locked on he ivory frame of his mother. A polite smile sat on his face, happy to see her. She was watching him with guarded eyes as if trying to hide her thoughts, not that he could read them anyway. He walked slowly with no rush, but his posture showed he was not being lazy and taking a leisurely walk.

Marius had spent the day by the river, gazing at his reflection and musing over things. That day he had met a few... Two fillies. Analae and Elen. They were both... Interesting, to say the least. It didn't bother Marius he didn't necessarily have any friends, but it... Did comfort him a bit to have someone to talk to. Not that he really needed it or wanted it.

Before even greeting his mother he took a quick, surveying glance ather figure. She looked healthy enough. But the night before she had complained of a headache momentarily, and he saw her knees buckle momentarily when she tried standing up in the morning. Dad was till asleep... He wondered if she had told him yet, that she was feeling a little under the weather.

Which, it probably was. He remembered how chilly it was in the mountains. He shivered at th thought, brushing it away. He did enjoy the warmer air down in the clearing.

"Eveinging ma." He called, standing a few feet from her.

The words fell on her ears and it was just so normal to ehar them. Yet... She wondered if Twilight ever heard them as much, wondered if he greeted his siblings with the same love in his voice. It worried her, and she was quick to take a step forward. Her knee buckled lightly, but it was barely notceable. She offered a smile towards her son, and with a gesture she told him to stand by her side.

"We need to speak, Marius." Her words were calm, but ehr crimson eyes reflected her concern. She watched as his ears perk and face become guarded. She bit down on her lower lip. This was exactly the kind of reaction she wanted him to overcome.
