[Thy Reaper]

The day was a warm one, a perfect day for the activities that had been planned for it. The sun kissed the world and blessed it with his heat as a cool breeze filtered through the foliage, inviting the world’s inhabitants out to play. That was just what had been planned, seeing as it was one of their play days. In fact, almost anytime that their uncle visited it turned into a play day. It was something that couldn’t be helped. When growing up without a male influence in one’s life left a young male very energized when one should happen to appear.

A dark coated colt laughed merrily as he danced through the patches of shadow and sunlight, playing with his Uncle. It was a silly game they all played, a running game. A game where one would run, one would touch, shout "Tag" and then they would switch. The rules were easy to follow and it kept the boys busy for long amounts of time. It tired them out to boot, so that when it came time to bed down for the night, they were too tired to put up much of a fight. They had played this game for as long as he could remember and he could never be sure if his Uncle had played fair or had just let him get far away on purpose. Maybe he had just gotten too old to keep up, but that didn’t matter. Blair just loved the thrill of it all. It was so much fun to run and to be chased or to be the one that did the chasing.

"Come on Uncle Adrian!" Cried the colt breathlessly as he made a wild dash around a large tree trunk, though he tried, he was unable to stifle his laughter.  

[Tygress Dream]

Adrian kept to a trot as the colt raced ahead, all the better to let the youngster do the running. Blair's mother would be greatful when "Uncle" Adrian returned with a worn out colt ready for naptime. There were still times when the stallion regretted lying to the boys about their relationship, but better a loving uncle that regularly appeared in their lives, than a father that kept leaving, right?

His own parents were away again on one of their longer journeys. It was his grandparents that caused the most issue, but they were checking in with his aunt Niade and her mate so all was clear. He should acctually be able to spend more time with Sakura and the boys this time. It was all to the good children grew up so fast and he didn't want to miss out on too much.

"I'm coming boyo! You're just so fast," he said laughing as he too circled around the tree. He picked up his pace enough to reach out and nudge his son's shoulder. "Tag," he yelled out before dancing a distance away, pausing to make sure Blair was ready to give chase.  

[Thy Reaper]

"Whoa!" The small male jumped in surprise. He had not expected his uncle to come around from the other side of the tree. It was a clever tactic and it was one that he would have to remember for later. It come in handy against his sibling, whom was easily up to his same level, to throw him off balance and tire him out much quicker for the day. This was a good game. It easily prepared the boys for life. They were given the chance to stretch their legs, push their muscles to the limit and build up a good amount of strength. This way they were prepared to go out on their own and fight or flight from potentially dangerous situations that required a great deal of strength and stamina to be taken care of at will.

He loved these visits and as far as he was concerned, he wasn’t really missing out of much not having a father. After all, he had a beautiful, loving mother, an awesome brother and a great uncle. His life was still full of people even though there was one that was supposedly supposed to be there, that was not. And while his brother and him may have or may not have been a rowdy bunch without having a father around all the time, they were no worse for the wear. If anything it taught them to be more patient for those things that they did want; such as quality time with their uncle. Who needed a father? Not Blair. He couldn’t miss what he never had. Or at least that was how he looked at it.

"I’m gonna get you Uncle Adrian!" It had come down to the wire now. This had always been his favorite part. The run was fun, yes, but the chase was just that much more amusing. With a gleeful whinny he reared wildly and tossed his short hair. "And then…" The youth snorted, tossed his mane once more and darted toward his uncle at full speed. "I’m gonna lick your mane the wrong way!" That was something that the boy hated himself, when his mother or brother would lick his mane in the wrong direction. It simply didn't sit right on his head and neck and it was so uncomfortable. He wore a devilish grin as he galloped toward his uncle. He was particularly fast, but he wasn’t exactly slow either.  

[Tygress Dream]

It never ceased to amuse Adrian at how much the boys jumped when caught. Though he often had both, he was enjoying this one on one time. He'd had a lot of that with his father and grandfather. A twinge of regret hit him at denying Darsha and Blade this sort of contact with another generation. Someday when they're grown up I'll tell them and they'll have the choice.

"I'm gonna get you Uncle Adrian!"

That shout brought Adrian back to the game and he pranced away, Blair's threat bringing a bark of laughter. He understood the threat, his own mane not having grown out much beyond foal length. He hoped the children wouldn't inherit it, there was something to having a nice flowing mane. At least Blair had Sakura's unicorn tail.

"You have to catch me first!" Such a fun dance allowing the sound of pounding little hooves to get close before a quick change of direction. Judging the energy of the colt was a part of the game and Adrian would slow for a just a bit longer from time to time to give Blair a fighting chance.  

[Thy Reaper]

Blair bounded forward. All along the forest floor twigs snapped under hoof as he galloped toward his uncle with malicious intent to destroy the older stallion’s good looks. Or at least destroy them for the time being, seeing as if he licked it straight down, it would take quite a lot of shaking and tossing to get it back in order. Unfortunately, genetics had not been kind. Both boys had inherited their father's mohawk of a mane. That was okay though, licking it into strange directions was a game that he liked to play with his brother as well. He would chase him around and try to lick his locks into strange directions because it just looked so darn silly when his hair was sticking up just like the feathers on a birds head. There was even one time as his mother was grooming him that she had even succeeded in making Blair’s mane look like that of a cardinal’s head by licking it into place. At least that’s what he had thought once the grooming session was over. He had run around all that day, until it fell, pretending to be a bird, and felt only slightly put off that he had not inherited his mother’s beautiful wings with which to fly with.

"Oh, I’ll catch you alright!" The colt huffed as he skidded briefly to a halt. The sudden change of direction took him for a loop and caused him to pause for a moment. That was his Uncle, Uncle Adrian, always full of sneaky tactics and surprises. That was probably one of the main reasons why Adrian was so loved by Blair. Every time they were together, he learned something new, something interesting to help him and his brother pass the time. It wasn’t simply that he was the only male figure that they had in their lives, but because he had so much to offer them in his short visits.

Giddily he set himself into motion again and ran as fast as his muscles would allow him. His breathe came in short, hard puffs as he ran just alongside his Uncle’s rump. He had come so close that he could almost touch him if he tried. With a great deal of effort he stretched out his neck and bumped his nose into Adrian’s side.

"GotCHA!" He cried breathlessly as he slowed his pace and trotted momentarily in place with glee.  

[Tygress Dream]

"Awe you got me," Adrian said dramatically, "falling" to the ground and rolling to his back. This also gave the colt access to his mane to fullfil his threat. He could be an acomidating fa.... uncle when he wanted to be.

Victory was his and he whinnied in triumph. "I have brought down this mighty stallion!" The colt laughed darkly as he trotted over to his Uncle and leaned down over him. A devious sort of look crossed his face as he began to lip, lick and pull his Uncles mane into strange directions. It was over in a few moments and the boy pulled back to examine his handy work. The dark stallion on the floor looked as if he had gotten into a three way brawl against water and a hairbrush and lost.

Blair laughed. He laughed so hard that his body trembled with it and his knees gave way from underneath him so that he rolled down next to his uncle, his legs up in the air. "Uncle Adrian! Uncle Adrian!" He gasped between peals of laughter. "You-you look so-so-so silly!"  

[Tygress Dream]

Adrian shook with laughter as Blair artfully messed up his hair. "Silly huh?" he asked moving to stand. "I have to see this." He gave the colt a nudge. "Come on walk to the pond with me so I can get a look at your work."

The walk was just enough distance for a cool-down after the workout of their game. The stallion had to resist picking up the pace since he really did want to see what Blair had managed. Finally they were there and he peered into the water at his reflection and snorted fiercly before outright laughing. He would probably have to wet it in order to get it back into place, but for now he'd leave it be.

Heavily the boy panted, he had worked up quite a thirst in the process of their play. What with all the running and laughing he had just done, and thus he did not protest when his uncle nudged him along toward the water. Willingly he trotted alongside his uncle as the stallion went to examine his handy work. While the Uncle Adrian examined himself, Blair made a great deal about splashing around in the shallows and gulping down a few mouthfuls of water, even though his body had already cooled down quite a bit. At that point he was simply in it for the fun of chasing the little fish away from the water’s edge.

He cantered his way out of the shallows and wandered ever closer to his ridiculous looking ward. Adrian didn’t look exactly like a bird, but it was all well and good. He still looked outright goofy, which was good enough for the dark colt. Flicking his tail he stood next to his Uncle and grinned before leaning down for one more drink from all his minor play. A while ago he had been startled to see that there was another colt about his age in the water. Recently he had been told that it wasn’t another colt and in fact, it was him. He had marveled at it for a while when he had first been told, doing strange things to see the colt in the water do them as he did. Now it was common place and didn’t affect him at all. Or it wouldn’t have, had he not noticed something very strange.

He blinked, surprised by what he was seeing. His mother and his brother and he looked the same. None of them looked exactly the same, he had been told that was impossible and boring, but each of them had a piece of each other in them. Now, as he stood beside this large black stallion, he noticed something rather peculiar. Some of his pieces almost looked like the pieces that dear uncle Adrian possessed. So startled was the young colt that he had to double take to make sure that he had not simply made up what he was seeing. But no, it was there as clear as black and white. He had been told that Adrian was simply a very good friend to his mother and that between him and the boys there was no connection other than one of love. "You..." He stopped himself short, ashen eyes gazed up at Adrian, stunned and confused.  

[Tygress Dream]

Adrian watched Blair happily splash around in the water. Everything was perfect and when the colt finally returned to his side, Adrian bent to take a drink himself before taking the time to finally fix his mane. He was surprised by the sudden motion of Blair's touble take and thought he heard him start to say something. Worried he turned and was surprised to see stunned confusion in his eyes.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked voice full of concern.

He pondered on it for a moment as he stared up at his uncle, the stallion he had spent so much time playing with not just today but on many other occasions as well. It began to make a lot more sense the longer he thought about it. Sullenly he looked away and started down at his hooves, a bitterness resting on his tongue. “I...I don't feel good.” The words were clipped and seething with a mix of emotions that not even Blair knew how to place. Disappointed. He was very disappointed. But even more so, he was anger. He was very angry. "I want to go home."
