 It had been a long time since the last time he had had a meeting with his siblings, and the last one had been with his two other brothers, Roka and Jinx. He hadn't yet met any of his sisters or the other two brothers, but this meeting he was going to meet up with Nora, Moose, and Arctica. Following him was his cheerful, happy-go-lucky niece, the daughter of Nora, the eldest of the siblings under Orchu and Kasumi. As he was musing over the sudden want for a meeting between the family, Mocha suddenly launched into the air above him, causing him to chuckle fondly.
She laughed cheerfully, excited about seeing her mother again. Uncle Hinote, being the quiet, gentle type he was, was taking his time as he led her to the meeting place. Being the cheerful, hate-to-be-bored kind of mare, she soon grew tried of walking and immediately launched into the air, preferring to fly instead of walk. (Really, perhaps she had spent too much time with Indu!) As she hovered in the sky trying to keep the flying pace with her uncle's, she soon spotted her mother and... two other Soquili with her. She tilted her head curiously and immediately landed next to Hinote, hoping to ask him for more information, since she had never met any of her family before besides her mother, Hinote, and Grandfather Orchu.

Nora's ears perked up as she heard a rush of wind from someplace ahead of them and her medium blue orbs fled to the sky to see her daughter's white and light brown feathers keeping her afloat as she hovered in the air for a few moments. At the beaming look on her daughter's face, Nora couldn't help but smile to herself. Mocha was always a cheerful one that was pleasant to be around. The mare picked up her pace to a light trot; reaching the base of the mountain and the place at which they were to meet Mocha and Hinote. She nickered to them as they finally came into view, approaching the spot as well.
Dark gray orbs followed the silver mare in front of her as she trotted on ahead; noticing from her elevated position the two soquili that were there beyond Nora. Arctica tilted her head curiously, noticing that Nora resembled both of them while she and Moose were more similar in color; both have predominantly black coats. However, that was no matter, they were all related and in this situation that was what happened to matter most. Arctica swished her long tail and broke out into a lazy canter until she caught up to Nora and paused at her side; making sure to look over her shoulder to see that their brother was still on his way behind them.
Moose kept his head hung low, his eyes upon the ground as he ambled along down the path. His ears pinned back and he finally looked up when he heard Arctica picked up her pace; her hooves clopping animatedly upon the rock. The stallion halted as his eyes scanned over the scene that was before him; his four relatives standing there in a group. Perhaps they had forgotten he was there, though that thought was dismissed when Arctica purposefully looked back at him. Once again he continued at his previous pace, somewhat dreading the idea of meeting his brother and his niece.

"Mama!" she whinnied a greeting. "Mama, it's been so long! How have you been?" she smiled, glad to see that her mother was well. "Mama, Uncle Hinote has been a great babysitter." She winked at Hinote who gave her a dry look. "But it's been forever! Who's with you? Uncle never says anything and always leaves surprises to happen!" Among the family, Mocha was a bright, talkative mare who found pleasure in the simplest things. "Oh?" She had spotted Moose, and was wondering why he was lagging behind. "You look so sad!" she darted over to him. "What's there to be sad about?"
He tilted his head in greeting of his siblings, smiling quietly at Mocha's enthusiasm while he shrugged at Nora, letting his sister know that she did as she pleased for the most part. He nodded to Arctica, and then also noticed Moose, thanks to Mocha. He felt slightly ashamed to not have noticed Moose at first, but then he, too, was curious about why Moose's eyes were so sad.

"I've been fine darling." The mare smiled; nuzzling her daughter affectionately. "Your grandfather might come down here later to join us all. He was a bit preoccupied when we left but he said to send his love." She said it more to Mocha but her eyes fell upon her brother to show that Orchu meant it to him as well and she hoped that Note didn't overlook the meaning she tried to convey. Her gaze drifted back to her daughter who was rambunctious as ever. "I brought you another uncle and another aunt." She teased her daughter. Nora looked briefly over her shoulder to see Moose still trudging down the mountain and then she looked her Arctica, who was standing near her flank.
Arctica's gaze watched Mocha curious, and she prepared to introduce herself to her niece. That however never happened. Just as she was opening her mouth, the mare took a few steps back and off to the side around her sister Nora in order to get out of Mocha's way as she quickly trotted over to Moose.
Moose's eyes grew wide in bewilderment and he retreated a few paces before halting there; taken about by his niece who had instantly began to question him. "I-I..." He stuttered; his mouth unable to form words. "Nothing-nothing to be upset about." The stallion stated quickly. He was not one to tell others about his insecurities; especially not his family members since they were the reason for his doubts.
Arctica regarded the exchange between her brother and niece before turning her attention on Hinote, who also seemed a bit distracted by the pair. Arctica quietly made her way over to stand next to him. "Don't mind Moose. He always acts this way." She spoke casually; her eyes falling upon her youngest brother.

 Well, I'll be! thought Aeife to herself as she skimmed lightly across the skies in search of something interesting to do. Finding none however, the young mare had initially intended to return to where her brother and sister was and perhaps bug them to go on an adventure with her because as everyone knows, an adventure is not an adventure unless you have someone to go along adventuring with. Tilting her blue tipped wings, Aiefe was just about turn back when her eyes had settled upon a group of wind soquilis down below. Initially, Aeife would have been contented to pass them over without a second glance as it was common amongst certain soquili to gather about their own kind. But today however, something about this particular herd had caught her attention.
Some of them have similiar markings as me! And that one resembles grandfather! thought Aeife excitedly as she bandoned all thoughts of returning to her brother and sister. With an excited whinny, the wind mare mare for a landing just before the assembled group.

 'Crap~ I'm late, I'm late, I'm late~' Orion sped through the air, his wings poised up and away from his body as he cut through the sky. He was supposed to be meeting everyone about twenty minutes ago. He knew Mocha was going to be there, and Mother had warned him not to be late before Orion had left the teepee that morning.
Orion had been excited about the meeting, but not excited enough to -not- fall asleep under that delicious apple tree around noon. He was going to finally meet the rest of his family, all goodness-knows-how-many aunts and uncle he had and maybe a cousin or two. Uncle Moose and Auntie Arctica were supposed to be there too, Mother had said, but Orion sees them everyday, albeit the fact that they haven't said two words to each other. Ever.
Oh well. That didn't matter. What mattered was he was going to meet the rest of his lovely family and hopefully the rest wouldn't be such frigid icicles. He just had to get to the meeting spot first which was somewhere around here.
...He hoped.
