     That night - It had been.... Well, she couldn't remember the night that she got pregnant. She had been wanting children, her jealousy of other mares pushing her to find the perfect stallion to have kids with. Adaya had planned on getting pregnant and leaving, all she wanted was children after all. But... Not knowing the father of her baskets was eating away at her. They were, her baskets, like the times of day. One was like the setting sun, another like the dawn, another like a summer day. Beautiful, and there wasnt many things in this world she called beautiful, or even liked for that matter. She had set out with all three baskets from her two leggers teepee. The old woman was nice, the sugar cubes she possessed where delicious, but she couldn't accept what she had wanted for so long. With only Duncan's few words lingering in her mind she searched for the one that was the father. Adaya paused atop the rise of a grassy hill and set the baskets down for a while. She needed a break. Hunger hitting her hard now that her concentration was broken she bent down to lip some of the brown grass, keeping an ever watchful eye on her baskets.

Ruka could remeber what had happened that night, or who the mare was. under his mother's and sister's advisement he decided that he was going to head out and find her. He had a stange feeling that he had gotten her pregnant. He had always wanted kids, ever since his sister had her childen, but had never found the right mare. It was because he never left the area around the village. He had always felt safe there with his mother's two legger. But something had caused him to travel into the woods that night.
Now here he was in the middle of a meadow, climbing a hill and about as far away from his home as he had been since he was a foal traveling with his mother. Once on top of the hill he spots a beautful mare eatting with three baskets near her. he watches her carefully knowing that mares could be overprotecive of their young. Standing there he watches her and has a wired feeling that he had met her before somewhere.

The lighest of the baskets in color could hardly sit still where it had been left. The foal inside was blind as a bat to the happenings of the world outside, but it knew that it's momma had set it down. Could smell the grass beneath it, smell the wind that passed by occassionally, and could smell another smell coming from downwind off and on. It didn't know what any of these things were, but it filled the tiny being with excitement and wonder. Cooing as best a tiny horse could, the basket made sounds at it's Mother as it vibrated and wiggled against it's siblings.

Adaya paused mid bite, using her hind hoof to slowly push her baskets under her as she spotted another soquili approaching. She finished her bite and raised her head, inspecting the male, calculating whether or not he would be a threat. Spots, golden pelt... Similar to Duncan's description of one of the males he had known. It was sad really, that she couldn't remember who she had been with and had to have asked everyone in the heard about all the guys they knew. Quin and Syipher had met ones with markings like her baskets - but...
She shook her head, clearing her thoughts. She looked the male over once more. "Hello?" she called out to him. He was just standing there... Why?

Ruka watches her closely as she moves the baskets under her. When she speaks to him he smiles at her as if to say ' I mean you no harm or your children.'
" Hello miss, I don't mean to bother you. But have you seen anyone else out here, I'm looking for someone." He stands there no moving to see if she would welcome him to come closer or if she would tell him to get lost.

Adaya, unlike the male, didnt smile when he spoke. He didnt seem like a threat, but one could never tell now days. She nodded to him, her way of greeting him further and allow him to come closer. Normally she would have gone to him, but she didnt want to have to move her baskets. "No..." She replied. "No, I haven't seen anything or anyone." She paused, looking down to her baskets. "You have any idea of who you're looking for? I might be able to point them in your direction if I find them. I think i'll be traveling for a while; looking for someone as well."
The dark, dusk colored basket wiggled around in small circles under it's mother as if tired of sitting still. It bumped into it's siblings occasionally, accidentally, but it wanted to move and explore more than the shade under it's mother's stomach.

Ruka watches her, he then start towards her at a slow pace in a non theatening matter. " Well, kind of. I had a stange thing happen to me, a few days back. I don't remember much of it. But I do remember beening with someone." He listens to her as he stops a couple of feet before her. " Do you know who you are looking for. I just came from another meadow, and I may have seen them." He seeing one of the baskets move he watches it~
The setting sun basket feeling the wiggling around it and bumped, slow nuzzles the side of it's basket and makes a nicker-like sound~

The blue and yellow basket wiggled about the same as it's siblings. The strange smell had gotten closer and now it was making noise. Talking like their mother did. Whickering gently and nudging against the other two baskets the foal inside felt happy and warm. It also wasn't quite enjoying the cool feeling from the shade of Adaya, and wanted to explore more. If one little place could have so much to it then surely there were more sensations and scents to enjoy everywhere else.
... It didn't want to leave the warmth of it's siblings though.

Adaya laughed. "You too hmm?" She paused. She had said too much. What happened to her careful ways? Her caution? Not telling anyone anything about herself unless she knew them well? It seems it left with her children. She sighed; no use in stopping there. "I cant remember a single thing - Just know that whatever happened that night was a blessing. It gave me children." She neglected to mention that her wanting children was due to jealousy of other mares having kids. She leaned down, nudging the baskets so they stayed under her before continuing. "Only clue I have is their colors. I'm blue and white, and they have yellow, brown, and I think that the darker blue may have been their fathers too - all of which are colors I don't have."
The basket squeaked at it's siblings after it had been pushed under their mother further. Hopefully their mother wasn't looking. It bumped into it's siblings a few times, nickering as it did so before wiggling it's way between Adaya's hind legs into the sunlight. It squeaked, almost as if saying "Freedom!!" before wiggling in circles waiting on it's siblings.

Ruka nods, " Yes, I remember that she was most blue like you, I think anyways that night is still really fuzzy,I'm glad to hear that you are blissed with childen. My sister and my mother, told me that childern are the center of the world to parents, the hope for a better toworrow." he looks at the baskets then back at her then himself. He blinks again realizing something. He blinks. as she explains the colors of stallion " I would gress that the stallion would look something like me. that would be my would gress anyway, I'm Ruka pleased to meet you miss."
~The basket feeling its sibling bounce against it nickers again and wiggles~

The first of the baskets nickered as well, bouncing into the browner of the three as if to nudge it in the direction of their sibling. Like it was trying to say, 'Come on! Adventure!' Of course, it couldn't say those things but it sure wanted to. Moving, wiggling, bouncing out from under their Mother; the lightest basket moved closer to the shadow of Ruka and enjoyed the scent of the stranger.

*changes color to match the feathers on the basket* Mostly blue? She looked to the baskets, then to Ruka. He did have gold in him. He did have spots. He had lines on his face, which may be where the lines on the dusk colored basket came from. But... Nah... Couldn't be him. Could it? She was confused, lost in thought; she didn't even notice her baskets wiggling out from under her. "A..." She said as if she was still trying to figure something out. "Pleasure to meet you..." Well, he sure didn't seem like a stallion she would mate with; gold and brown, what was unique about that? But if he was the father, it could only have been fate, meant to be; for if thy weren't, the baskets would not have been so beautiful. "My name is Adaya." She paused, thinking on her next question for a good, long time. "So... What." It was as though she didnt want to ask the question. As though she was somewhat frightened that Ruka could be the father. "What if I was the mare you met that one night?"
The DuskBasket Gave a deep sigh as it welcomed the warmth of the sun before turning to find it's siblings. It wiggled back under Adaya through her hind legs and then out through her front, scooting as fast as it can to catch up to it's siblings and explore this new soquili.
