As the sun came up, Frost woke slowly. The first thing she became aware of was the warmth of her mate at her side. Even after being with him for so long, it still filled her with a certain sense of surprise and wonder, that he would have stuck with her after all this time. She cracked open her eyes to reassure herself that their children were there as well. Well, real, and safe, even if they were sleeping in a pile rather like a bundle of puppies instead of young foals. That had been little Sekkei's idea. Frost's sole daughter was full of good ideas.
Sekkei had positioned herself at the center of the pile. She was a little squished, under her brothers' weight, but at the same time she was toasty warm, and that was the important thing, really. Maybe her brothers weren't as warm as she was, but that was their fault for not coming up with this brilliant idea.

Na'visya might have been colder than his sister, but... no one was crushing him. No one was pressing on him, he was free to get up and move about as he wanted. So to his mind, he had the better end of the deal.
And besides, the cold never bothered him anyway. He made sure that he was the top of the heap, when they lay down. He made sure he was the top of the heap generally. And he watched. Mostly he watched his family, but generally... he just watched.

Silverwing Wynter wasn't particularity worried about what spot he got in the pile because he was Out! When he slept, he slept like a champ. He even had a nice little drool-cicle running down his cheek - a testament to his sleeping prowess. Come dark of night or cold winter's chill - he could sleep through anything.

Sekkei shifted the smallest bit and felt something damp against her cheek. She mumbled more to herself than anything else. Why was her cheek wet? reluctantly, she opened her eyes and saw... Silverwing... drooling... right by her face... "EWWWW!" she squealed, jerking back and shaking her head.

"Stop squirming," he snapped like cracking ice in winter. "You woke me up!" And bedding was not supposed to move and squirm and squeal. "Mother! Father! Tell her that if she wishes to be on the bottom of the pile, she needs to keep still.
Jahyk wisely chose the better part of valor, also known as cowardice, and let his mate handle this.

The abrupt shaking bounced Silverwing from his comfortable perch on top of his siblings and left him half awake on the ground. But the young foal quickly realized that the ground was soft and warm enough and he burrowed himself into a comfortable little ball and went right back to a sweet sweet dream.

"Silverwing was drooling on me!" Sekkei protested. She didn't whine, but it was close as she rubbed her face against Na'visya's soft side in an attempt to wipe the disgusting drool off of her.
And there went the peace, Frost sighed. Still, she did love her family. Even if Jayhk was allowing her to handle the children. "Sekkei, sweetie, you chose to be on the bottom. That comes with risks. Na'visya, you chose to be on top. That also comes with risks," she told them both, gently. Silverwing... she let sleep.

"EWWWW!" he said, jerking away from her. "She was the one who wanted to be a pillow! It was all her fault!!!!"
Jyahk smiled softly and nuzzled his mate.
"EWWWWWW" Na'visya said again, for a different reason.

With all the continuing chatter Silverwing slowly raised his head and sleepily opened just one eye, "Is it breakfast time?" he asked in a groggy voice. "I could go for some more of the dew coated stuff - that's just frozen a bit...nice breakfast with an icy crunch..."

"Since we're all awake, anyway," Frost sighed. She nudged her mate in a gentle, silent request that he go provide for their children while she diffused the situation between their more active offspring.
Sekkei had finished wiping the drool off and was struggling to look dignified while glaring at Na'visya.

Na'visya was glaring back.
Jhayk chuckled, nuzzled his beloved, then went to fetch breakfast.

Silverwing, still working through the lengthy process of waking up, notice his two siblings and their glares mid stretch. "Mornin' guys," he said as he yawned - a nice, long, languid type of a yawn. "What's going on?"

"You drooled on me!" Sekkei turned her glare onto her other brother.
Frost watched her children with slight amusement.

Silverwing shook out his mane a little and regarded his sister with a tilted head, "I did?"
