Time had just seemed to have swept on by. It was a funny thing, time. Sometimes you'd wish it would hurry along and other times you'd wish it to slow down. But it always seemed to do the opposite of what you wanted. Time hadn't been standing still for Dafina though. One moment she was full on pregnant, a swollen belly as she toddled about carrying Ramus and her's foals. Then there were baskets, three of them. And now foals. It was a funny thing. Perhaps now she understood just how her mother felt when she and her brothers were foals themselves.
Once the foals had been able to walk properly without getting too tired out, they had all set on out again. It seemed like they always wandered. Stopping here and there to rest for a day or several days. Whatever fancied them and however tired the foals were. For the moment, Dafina had decided it might be nice to take a little break. They had all wandered into a small meadow. The mare rested beneath the shade of a tree a top a small hill that looked down upon the rolling grass. But she kept a good look out on her foals. You never knew just what might turn up to harm one's children. Darma had been a fire cracker from the start. The moment she had wiggled out of her basket she was always on the go. Always having to move. Make some noise. Something. All the traveling her little family did gave the filly enough time to explore all the different things in the world. She wanted to just be out and about. An almost wandering spirit for the small foal.
Most of the time spent at the meadow Darma had chased bugs from one side of the other. Ran down the slopey hill near her mother, though more like she had run half way and tumbled the rest. Rolled in the grass. She just seemed to have an endless supply of energy.

 Ramus was proud of his new little family and the foals so far been a bundle of energy. standing at the tp of the hill near Dafina, he too kept a close eye on the foals. tail flicking he would not allow anything to happen to their kids or his mate.  Dafius was just as full of energy as her sister but there was also one difference she was full of stubburnness that she seemed to have gotten from her fathers side of the family. mimicing her sister she found her sister to be fun and amusing to play around with just like their brother.

The dappled mare looked up at her mate from her resting spot. A grin spreading across her lips as she shook her head. He looked very rigid standing there. Stuck in one place, he had barely moved. "Ramus, I don't think you have to watch them like that. Why don't you relax and come sit with me? You can see them from here."
She flopped her medium length tail against the ground with a smile. Dafina knew that he'd probably be very protective over the children, but that didn't mean he couldn't do it comfortably! "They're really cute don't you think?" Eyes turned back to the two fillies as they played about in the meadow.
Quicking up her back hooves, Darma lept through the air a few times. Knickeirng and whinnieing all the while. Only a few times had she nearly fallen flat on her face, but it was a learning experiance. She was still getting down this walking thing, so her legs were a bit wobbly.
Turning to her sister, the brown filly grinned. "Dafi, Dafi!" She bound over to her, nuzzling her sister with a happy wiggle of her tail and a cute little bit of laughter.

Ramus glanced back over to Dafina and grinned. " alright but i can't help but want to keep watch over them." yesh he indeed was turning out to be the protective type over his family but he couldn't help but feel the need to be. " i beleive so and i do have to say they really did turn out to be a real mix of you and i." floping himself near Dafina, he contiuned to watch their kids play about.
Dafius giggled and nipped at her sister with a grin. " Dar you silly!" bounding about her sister, she was not above having some good old fun or maybe cause a bit of trouble as if things got dull that ment no fun. if things wherent fun there was no reason to do it in her mind as fun was everything to the little filly at the moment.

She giggled lightly, laying her head upon his shoulder. Eyes closing for just a moment. "I know, love. But you don't have to be so rigid about it. Standing there, staring at them all the time in case one falls over. Its cute, but you need to relax a bit. I promise nothing will happen to them." That really wasn't a promise she was sure she could keep. You never knew what could happen to one's child. But for now they were protected. Loved and watched after.
The world could be a cruel place sometimes. Dafina knew. She knew that very well.
Opening her eyes, she giggled once more with a shake of her head. "Well, of course silly. You didn't expect miniature yous and mes to just pop out. It doesn't quite work that way."
Darma giggled more. Falling into step behind her sister as she bounded along in step. Her tail flicking back and forth wildly as she lifted her knees up high. "Z'nuh uh! Yous silly Dafi! Silly silly Da-feeee! Silly silly Da-feeee!" She giggled even more. Having way too much fun.
The filly always had a good time playing with her sister. Though sometimes Dafius could get a little rough. But besides that, she enjoyed these times with her sibling. Though, the filly could remember quite a ways back that there were three of them. One that was slightly different. But she didn't see him around for very long. And it made her curious as to where that third went. Perhaps he had gone away on an adventure. Oooooh, now Darma was jealous! She wanted to go on an adventure to!

Ramus chuckled. " alright i'll be sure not to watch them like some statue. and ofcourse i didn't expect that but still it is interestings what their personalities and looks have come to be." grinning if he could help it he would allow nothing cruel or bad to happen. keeping a watch on the foals, he stayed alot more relaxed than before but that didn't keep him from watching them play about.
Dafius remebered they had a brother whom she had no clue where he ran off too though their parents knew that he was off with their uncle and grandmother under their care when not with them. ofcourse like her sister she thought he was on another weird adventure and would be back to tell his tales of what he had done. " nuuuu!! you the silly one Dar!!" snickering she headbutted her sister and tryed not to get too rough as she was known to be such a tomboy.

"Good. I'd figure watching them like that would be kind of uncomfortable after a while." Nuzzling his neck lightly, she nibbled on a strand of his mane. Giving it a few playful tugs before letting it go. Nodding, she giggled lightly as Dafius head butted Darma. The little filly was quite the little rough houser. Just like her father.
That thought brought back memories of when she and Ramus first met. They often bickered, but after a while that simmered down. And then the rough housing started. Both were too stubborn to give up so easily to each other though.
She squeaked and side stepped a few times as her sister head butted her. Darma wasn't as much of a rough houser like Dafius was. Sticking out her tongue, she gave an indignant flick of her tail. "Nuh-uh! Yous silly Dafi! A silly billy mooshie head!"

Ramus could only shake his had with a laugh at Dafius who was being the rough house tomboy. " again your right but it doesn't matter as long as they are good and safe." attempting to nuzzle her it wasn't that easy when she pretty much was right next to him. " seems they having alot of fun being silly like that."
"NUH-UH!! DAR YOU WRONG!" huffing she stuck her tounge out right back in retaliation. pawing the ground she went in for another headbutt. stubburn as ever she would prove her sister was the silly one and not her though at the moment it seemed both where acting silly.

"Of course I'm right. I'm always right, don't you know that?" She gave her mate a wink with a sly grin on her face. "Yes, as long as they are good and safe." Dafina looked up at him. She was happy that Ramus was protective though. Even if he did go a bit overboard sometimes. That meant he cared what happened to their foals. Unlike other stallions that might of just up and left, Ramus stuck around. But of course he would. She knew he cared deeply for her and their children. As she did for him.
Darma squealed as her sister charged at her. She seemed to almost run in place comically for a few seconds. Thin little legs tripping over one another as she raced towards her parents on the top of the hill. "Mama! Mama! Dafi is silly and mean!" The filly tried to slow her run, sliding around her parents to hide behind them.

" apparently thats the case at the moment!" Ramus laughed as the girls came running and having little darma come trying to hide. " whaaa someoen is being silly and mean?" chuckling he looked at each daughter. " you two know better than to be silly and mean." laughing again he was just teasing them both. " calm down both you are beign quite silly in my opinion girls."
Dafius chased her sister adn skidded to a halt in front her parents. " NUH-UN Dar was being the silly one!." wrinkling her nose, she then nipped at her father playfuly. " fiiiiiiine but thats boreing!" flopping herself infront of her parents she stuck her tounge out.

Dafina shook her head with a smile. As Dafius flopped down in front of them, she nudged her daughter with her nose. Turning her onto her side and nipping at her belly. "Now Dafius. Be nice to your daddy. He could take you and toss you into a lake if he wanted to."
She grinned, flopping her front legs over her father's back. "Haha! Silly Dafi!" Her tail flicked back and forth wildly as she stretched out her front legs a bit. "Dafi was buttin me! She's a meanie! Meanie head!" Darma loved her sister. They were like two peas in a pod, but there was always a little compatition between them it seemed.

Dafius wiggled a bit as her belly was nipped at by her mother. " daddy wouldn't do that to me!!!!!" stretched out at the mother she stuck out her tounge at her sister in retaliation while she was across their fathers back. " you where the meanie first!! and your still the silly one!" it was silly how they both who cause some kind of compatition when both did care about each other.
Ramus shook his head with a chuckle and stayed still as his daughter Darma was laying across his back. " now now you two enough fighting over who did what and who is what. you two know better than to fight with one another." this all reminded him of his days as a foal, rough houses around and messign with his brothher and even the times he and his now mate dafina wouldgo at it when they first had met.

"You never know." The mare grinned at her daughter. Her voice had a slightly melodic tone as she spoke. Almost teasing her. She nipped at her belly again before licking Dafius behind her ears affectionatly. "Yes, listen to your father girls. It doesn't matter who was silly or a mean."
Darma stuck out her bottom lip as Dafius retaliated with her own sticking out of the tongue. "I still say Dafi is silly...and mean." The foal mumbled under her breath, still pouting a bit.

Dafius wiggled a bit more as she was nipped but then started to giggle as she got licked behind the ears. "naw daddy would never do that he no meanie." staying laid out on her side, she sighed. "yes mom." all she wanted was a bit of fun even if her fun ment rough housing.
Ramus snickered. " i heard that darma dear." he attempted to n** at her but failed as she was at his back. " and you two do as your mother says so no more fighting and arguing please." for him handling the hyper foals was a big task but one he took on with out grumbling.

Dafina laid her head down gently ontop of Dafius' side. Looking up at the little filly with a smile. "You sure about that?" She grinned widly before blowing a raspberry onto her daughter's tummy. Her tail flicking lightly back and forth through the grass behind her. These two were quite a pair of characters alright.
Ears pricked forward. She had hoped that no one had heard that, but it seemed like her father had. Darma hadn't been quiet enough. "Heard what daddy?" She tried to play it off like she had said nothing at all. Wiggling a bit as Ramus tried to n** at her and sticking out her tongue. "Yes, daddy."
