It was a lazy day. A very lazy day in fact. So much so that Dafina had taken to lounging beneath a large shady tree which had perched itself a top a small, rolling hill. Dark red eyes scanned the little field below as she watched Darma run back and forth across it. Shaking her head lightly with a subtle chuckle. Her medium length tail flicking across the grass before it rested against her flank.
Her mind soon turned to thoughts of her other daughter, Dafius. By now, whatever foals she was having should be born by now. Or so she would think anyway. If her knowledge of pregnancy and basket hatching was correct and up to day. Who knew sometimes how long it took mother's now a days to have foals. She had heard through the grape vine a few times of mother's being pregnant for a significant amount of time longer than she had ever been with her three. Or tales of baskets well--being baskets for quite sometime.
Perhaps these foals were just weaker she surmised. And took a little bit longer to gain their strength. Oh well.
Darma had been spending most of the day running through the little field. The drying grass whipping across her belly as her hooves pounded heavily into the earth. There was no real reason for her running. She just felt like doing it. And every now and again she pause for a breath, casting a glance up to her mother who was oh so watchful then take off at great speed again.
Mane and tail whipping behind her as her chest heaved heavily. Her body and muscles becoming strained. Until finally she could run no more. Out of breath and quite sweaty by now, she used what little strength she had left, or so it seemed she had left, to canter up the little hill and flop down next to her mother. "I wonder where Dafius is. Haven't seen her in forever." She wiggled her body, inching closer to her mother until she was able to lay her head across the older mare's front legs. Closing her eyes and letting out a long, heavy sigh.

The dappled mare lifted her gaze as sounds of a commotion came from nearby. Dark red eyes tried to peer through the brush but to no avail she failed to see what was going on.
Leaning her head down, she nudged Darma's head off of her legs and lifted herself up from the ground, much to her daughter's protest of course. "Somethings going on over there, Darma. Lets go check it out." With a flick of her tail she started to move at a walking pace towards the noises. Ears perked curiously as she made her way through the trees and brush.
"Awwww, but I don't wanna go." Darma pouted. Flopping onto her side, chocolate colored eyes watching her mother's hooves as they moved away. But in an instant, and with a heavy sigh, she too lifted herself up on the ground. Giving her body a quick shake before trotting after Dafina. Catching up quickly even though her legs ached to move.
The young mare was a bit curious as well, now too. It had been just a nice, quiet day. Just relaxing with her mother in the field. But it had now been spoiled with the noise. Well, whoever had done it she was gonna give them an ear full!
