 Vanya wandered through the trees, her movement slow and labored, the weight of her children having an impact on her. She'd gone into hiding since she began to show; afraid she would be picked on for her appearance. In the back of her mind, the rational part knew she wouldn't; knew that all of her sisters were aware she carried children and were proud of her and couldn't wait to see if she bore females or males.
Now, while most were busy with their daily chores, Vanya took the time to get fresh air, having spent most of her days in her nest, huddled up and resting. She gave credit to her sisters who had given birth. Walking around with children inside you was not an easy task. A nudge as one of them moved confirmed her theory and she winced lightly. There was a lot of movement. The nanny who saw her; the only one besides Taarab who had seen her in this state, was certain she was having three children.
Breathing heavy, Vanya took rest underneath a tree, leaning her back against the cool bark. She couldn't wait to meet her children. Regardless of gender, she would love each one dearly. Though she hoped for girls if only to make their lives a little easier. She wondered how they would take to the other children of the flock; if they would get along well or if they'd suffer the same teasing she did.
Smiling, she placed a clawed hoof on her belly, tracing claws gently in circles, tickling her skin. It was not the time to worry about such things. She had their whole lives to worry about them, when they arrived.

It didn't take the small mare long to figure out she was beyond her normal roaming area, and though nervous, she continued to step through the underbrush. Her multi-colored wings were pressed against her to keep twigs from sticking in them and snagging on her feathers. Her equally colored eyes flicked from one side to another, taking in the area she was stepping through with agitated sweeps.
She could see small green shoots upon the ground and tiny buds upon the trees that hinted at the coming of spring in a way that made her heart fill with a certain glee. With spring and it's breath of life came new life in the form of babies and beautiful new flowers. She half-heartedly thought that perhaps herself and Dante would be granted the chance at beginning a family. But alas, things were to go slowly and delicately between the two of them.
Bringing her thoughts back to the present, her nostrils flared as they took in new scents. They pervaded the area, covering it like a gossamer web of smells. They spoke of strength and dominion and of warning. This gave her pause. Her cloven hooves dug softly into the loamy soil as she stopped in her tracks, her long hair sweeping forward to lightly touch her face with their rainbow strands.
It was only in stopping that she heard the noises of another's progress through the treeline,and her eyes flicked around until she was able to pinpoint the direction. She had to be in a herd's territory, and this made her nervousness of being in a zone she was unfamiliar with, grow.
When the noises of the other presence's progress stopped, and no others followed, only then did curiosity get the better of the young mare. She ventured forward a few cautious steps at a time, her eyes never letting a single shadow go without notice.
The sight that lay before her made her stand stock still, her eyes wide in wonder and notable fear. A clawed mare seemed to have taken rest beneath a tree. Aurora had never seen anything like her. It was not just the strangely wicked claws that stretched where hooves might be... no... It was the beauty that took Aurora's breath away for a moment. Colors of palest blue and an almost night sky blue seemed to shimmer before her, the colors only broken by beautiful feathers of vibrant green, and adornments of gold. She was intrigued and entranced for a moment.
It was then that Aurora's eyes fell to the distended belly. Was the striking mare with child? This brought a small spark of jealousy to the mare, but it was not one that could last long. Poor dear. Aurora thought. She seems exhausted. Plucking up a bit of bravery, she ventured forward. "Hello? Are you alright?" She called, but quickly added, "I seem to be lost, please forgive me if I intrude." She didn't want to get into a feud if the mare thought she was encroaching on purpose.

Vanya's eyes widened at the sound that indicated someone approaching. She opened her mouth to call for guards, but quickly closed it when she saw the mare. It wasn't the fact that it was a female before her that stopped her cry. It was the mare's striking appearance. A black coloration with highlights of vibrant colors that seemed to glow. She was.. beautifully marvelous and Vanya decided then and there that this mare would be part of her collection, albeit one with freedom.
It had never occurred to Vanya to seek out females to join her. While she wouldn't control them like she did the males of her harem, she would consider them her equals and would keep them close to protect them. Her treasures. This mare would certainly make a wonderful collection.
Vanya was aware that the guards would have herd the mare's foot fall and would be watching her silently from the trees. Unless Vanya was in danger or the mare refused to leave, they wouldn't act.
Breathing out a heavy breath, Vanya smiled weakly from exhaustion. "I'm fine. Just a little tired." She looked around the forest, checking to make sure the mare was alone. "You're in my herd's lands, but you will not be harmed unless you refuse to leave when I ask or I'm in danger." She shifted her weight, leaning more of her body against the tree. "Unless of course, you'd like to stay here permanently."

Aurora stepped back a few steps, mostly out of confusion. Stay? "Why would I stay? Nothing held her in these lands, and there were strangers here. She flicked her ears and blinked cautiously. "Please forgive my caution, I've never been asked to stay in another's lands before, so it perplexes me." A soft laugh left her lips, "Why is it that you, a stranger, would ask me to stay... would ask a stranger like myself to stay within your protected grounds of your herd?" She was genuinely curious at this.
The mask upon her face for the most part hid the mirth and inquisitiveness that shined in her glowing eyes. This was indeed a new experience for her.
Adding to her questions, she moved her gaze from the beauteous mare's face and downward toward the large belly. She had, in all truth, never met a pregnant mare. "Does it hurt?" She asked, flicking her ears in embarrassment at the strange question. It always made her wonder how it felt to have life stirring within. though, she had long ago decided she would have family to call her own at any cost or pain.

Vanya watched the mare carefully. Play it calm. Cool. She was a female and it appeared she was.. scared? Cautious? Vanya couldn't tell for sure but she would be certain to not frighten her off. She rose a brow. She was questioning why? Did she not understand how wonderful she looked? Odd.
"I'm a collector of sorts, you see. I like to surround myself with beautiful things. I hadn't thought of surrounding myself with mares, but the thought just now crossed my mind because of you."
Vanya's eyes moved down to her stomach, claws still tracing small circles around without her even realising she was still doing it. "Sometimes. When they kick. Which they seem to be doing a lot of now." She whinced, emphasizing the point. "They seem to be quite active now. Probably excited to hear a new voice. Not many have seen me."
Tilting her head at the mare, she smiled. "Would you like to feel?" She wanted to see how the mare would react. If she was the only one who enjoyed feeling them alive; even though they sometimes kicked. "You haven't had children of your own?"

"Like a prize." Aurora said rather matter-of-factly. she was used to this sort of thing. When she had met Dante, he had treated her as such for a very long time. She couldn't say that she didn't like feeling wanted, but at the time it was odd and in many ways, unwanted. Coming from this mare, it left Aurora in a sort of stupor. Was she just a thing to be collected? Like some pretty trinket or bauble? This made her frown.
However, the frown was rather short-lived as the mare offered for Aurora to step closer. "O-Of course I would!" She said with a vibrant smile upon her muzzle. Aurora folded her wings close to her body and slowly approached, her cloven hooves picking a careful path across the clearing until she stood still a small distance away. The claws that grew out where hooves would normally be... they were rather sinister to see up close, and gave her pause.
The thought of feeling the kicks of foals made Aurora shorten the gap between herself and the clawed mare. "No... I have yet to create a family of my own. Someday perhaps. But for now... I admire those that I see around me who glow with a light that I have only seen in motherhood. And frankly... it makes me green with envy." The mare smiled gently, a laugh falling from her lips.
"May I?" She murmured, looking down at the mare with a demure expression, waiting to approach closer only when the mare was ready. LOLTERNATIVE Thank you so much for your patience. D;

Vanya tilted her head for a moment, thinking. "I guess like a prize, yes. Or a trophy. Something to show to others," she said this matter of factly, herself, as if her collection was something that everyone did. It didn't occur to her that some may find it offensive, not that she cared. Those in her 'collection' were well looked after and well sought after. It pleased her to have her sisters ask permission for a male, in a childish little way.
She watched the mare approach carefully. Her movements were graceful, well thought out. She wondered if perhaps she was a dancer or if she was just gifted with such grace since birth. She noted the hesitation as she was closer to her claws. "No harm will come to you as long as none comes to me. Women are protected here. We're important," Vanya cooed, trying to soothe the girl.
"Don't feel so jealous just yet. It's quite a handful. All I can do is sit and waddle." She noticed the girl hesitating again and Vanya reached out and wrapped claws around her wrist, gently moving her front leg to let her hoof rest on her stomach. The babies inside her wiggled, all of a sudden excited and Vanya winced as one kicked a tender spot.
"They sure do like you. It might be the sound of your voice. They can hear it. Try speaking a bit more." Vanya was just as excited as the mare. Not many had touched her stomach and none, besides herself and Taarab had brought such a reaction.
Mewsings of An Angel Thanks your for patience, too. I got sick with the flu. OTL

Aurora tersely smiled. The thought of females holding power was not a simple thing for her mind to grasp. She had lived in a widely male-driven world - from her adopted father who vanished upon her, leaving her rather bitter, to meetings with males who said pretty words and laughed in her face. Though she could not doubt her ever-present love for Dante. He was more than male, he had claimed her heart and would not relinquish it.
Aurora winced a little as she felt the talon wrap around her front hoof and pull her forward, not out of pain but out of shock at the strange calm that the mare exuded as she did so. As the small mare's hoof was placed upon the pregnant mare's stomach, her eyes warmed, feeling the light shifting of the unborn children, just waiting to be called into the world. "Hello, little ones..." She murmured, smiling just as warmly, the vibrant glow of her body seeming to brighten from it's own inner source. "We'll soon be able to meet face-to-face... I'd like that..." She flicked her tail in happiness, the small silver bells chiming in their own happy way.
She lightly removed her hoof and stepped back a bit to smile once more at the mare, before something dawned upon her and she shook her head. "My manners are lacking, it seems! My name is Aurora, and it is ever a pleasure to meet you, milady." She murmured with a smile. There were a few words she had found in stories, like milady, lord, knight... She was a dreamer after all, and she found these words all too suiting for the lovely clawed mare who rested before her.

Vanya shifted around a little bit as the children moved in response to the presence of the other mare. They squirmed and kicked, an elbow digging into her ribs had her sucking in her breath and releasing it in a slight hiss. "They're gonna be a handful when they come out; considering how active they are now." She chuckled and rubbed her stomach once more. It was hard to not touch it, she realised. She liked feeling them move; knowing they were safe and well.
Vanya stood from her position with a little difficulty and let out slow breaths during the process. She dipped her head at the other mare and smiled. "Vanya. I don't think anyone's ever referred to me as milady and I don't expect you to be the first to continue doing so." Her smile broadened as she stood. "A pleasure to meet you, too, Aurora."
Vanya pursed her lips and wondered how best to handle the situation. The mare before her seemed skittish; that much was certain and she didn't want to frighten the mare off; even if she had no intention of joining her collection. It was nice to have someone around who wasn't praying for girls and claws. It was nice to have someone who was just happy about the children.
"You'd fit in well in my herd. Such beauty would be well sort after."
