InfinitiesOfSoules Selene: *smiles* Yue is very adventurous already. I'll have to keep a close eye on her. She shows no fear, and unfortunately, doesn't have the teeth to back up all the words I fear she may spit. As for Chen, he seems to prefer his father's company. He is a shy boy. I hope he will spend plenty of time with his sister, however.
*watches Calamity smack Faust with little more than a wince, trying to remain impassive.* Of course, son. *noses at him, eyes still slightly sad, knowing the apology isn't sincere* There are other ways to make him proud than just cruelty. You aren't a kalona, even if you try to be one. *nudges him* Quiddie! *fumes and pulls away shaking his head at his mother* What do you know?
*backs away and looks at both Cal and Selene* At least with Father, I have a chance...
*gallops away* *looks alarmed momentarily, but gains his composure quickly* That was...strange. He gets that from you. devilnightshade Shade: *wonders in and moves twoards Cal with the little basket hopin beside her*Basket: *makes sure to hop on flowers* Quiddie! *grins, sensing Shade's approach* NightShade...
*he turns to meet her halfway, briefly nuzzling her forehead (the non-pointy bit) before looking down at the basket* Are you aware you're being followed by a small wicker monster? devilnightshade Shade: *looks down at it* yes, an evil little thing it is alreadyBasket: *a nose pops out and sniffs Cal's leg then dissappears with a satisfied growling mew* InfinitiesOfSoules Faust! *calls after her son as he flees* Have a chance for what? *worries* Calamity.... *eyes him about the strange comment* He wants to make you proud, but he's going about it.... I don't know. He doesn't speak to me. He's always looked at me like I'm not... *glares* You didn't even want him at first, and he loves you more. *buries her face in a flower, ripping it up viciously and chewing on it*
*raises her head as Shade approaches, moving a bit to the side to give the kalona room*

Shade stood beside Calamity and watched Selene quietly, she'd never let on even an inkling that the mare had already given herself a bad name in Shade's eyes. She nibbeled playfully on Cal's head right behind his ear before nodding her ehad n greeting to the unicorn flutter, "good day to you Selene."
She kept her voice level and sweet there was no hint of anything but a mutual kindness for the mare that Cal seemed to be close to in her eyes.

Selene smiled, undisturbed by the quiet hostility she could almost sense coming off the other mare. She doubted Calamity would though- testosterone blocked many senses. "Good day to you as well, Miss Nightshade." she dipped her head with a sweet smile. A careful eye was kept on Yue. The filly was playing with her brother, but.... She didn't have good feelings about what the filly would do.
Like mother like daughter. The thought inspired terror.

"I hope this day has faired you well m'dear," she shook her mane slightly and one ear dipped back as she heard a little rustle from the basket placed between herself and Calamity. She twitched her tail lazilly behind her and folded the opaque sparkling wings down right on her broad back.
Behind Shade and Cal a little brown filly emerged from her tight basket. Blood red eyes staired at them all and she let out a soft nickering sound and squeezed between Cal and Shade staring openly at Selene.

"Well, it has been alright." A sidelong glance at Calamity belied that. Then a glance at her daughter and the son peeking out from the tree made her conflict obvious. All of her children... one bringing sorrow, on a day that should have been nothing but joy.
She glanced down at the filly, and smiled. "Hello dear." her voice was soft, and she spoke to the filly with respect. As if she was a small adult.

Shade let her eyes follow Selene's and she felt a twang of pitty for the mare. She stepped aside slightly to let Morgan up twoards the front and itno better veiw.
For a moment Morgan eyed the blue amre then nodded her head slightly "good day to you madam."

She smiled at the filly. "Please, my name is Selene." she lowered her nose, offering it to the filly. "It is a pleasure to meet you, miss." She would let the filly offer her name on her own.

Shade watched them quietly, she was very protective of the little filly. Her tail twitched again and she tugged lightly on the filly's mane.
Morgan nodded her head lightly "I'm Morgan le fay, but most just call me Morgan."

She watched Nightshade's tail twitch and smiled at the filly. Calamity was being oddly silent.... were his eyes glazing staring at the mare? She didn't dare to look. "It is an honor to meet you, Morgan."

Shade nuzzeled Cal's side softly and nipped at his shoulder. Her tail nudged Morgan softly and the filly moved forward another step.
The filly's tail twitched "Thank you Miss Selene it's an honor to meet you aswell." Morgan had dark eyes filled with knowledge that a filly her age probably shouldn't know.

She inclined her head to the filly. Raised a slightly, barely annoyed eyebrow in Nightshade's diretion. She hardly had designs on a fatherly character to her, but really... did the other female have to be so brazen? In front of -children-, none the less.

Shade didn't notice, her actions were only trying to rouse Cal form his silent stuppor. She nipped him again and finally gave up of the stallion with only a slightly laugh.
The filly just stood there as if it didn't bother her at all, she was wise beyond her years, but there was something else there, a darkness or maybe even a cruel undertone? Who really knew.

Calamity, having been thoroughly busy with his own internal mental processes, was only snapped back to attention by one of Shade's particularly hard nips. He tried somewhat unsuccessfully to mask his startled expression. "Yow...what?"
He assessed the tense situation he was now placed in the middle of...but at least the little foal had come out of it's baskey finally...NO. FOCUS.
He knew Selene was visibly wounded by Faust's tantrum, but what could he say that wouldn't make things worse. With any other mare, at any other time, he would have been cruelly honest. But Selene was a new mother, and his soft spot for her being what it was...
"Selene. You know well enough that Faust doesn't care a bit for me beyond the respect he so desperately desires. He loves you, which is why he's putting you through your paces as a mother. Consider it practice for Yue and Chen."
He nodded and turned to rest his chin on Shade, snorting to blow a bit of her hair around in as affectionate a gesture as he was willing to make in public.
If he and Shade ever had foals, he would beat this kind of erratic behavior out of them...

She couldn't help it. She snapped at him. "Well, there is the responsibility you accepted when you placed yourself as a father figure. I've tried, Calamity. I don't know what to do. He values -your- opinion. He wants to live up to make -you- proud. I think half the problem is that he knows I will never, ever turn him away. But you... you didn't... How do I explain it?" she thrashed her tail. "You didn't do anything that wasn't in your nature. I don't think he understands that. I learned it the hard way, and I had to work through it on my own. He doesn't, and I am smothering him, trying to make him understand that the reason he feels the pain is because he isn't... cold. That it's a difference in the sheer nature of the beast, if you will pardon, as much as anything else."
"But he's... bitter about it. He wants to be something he's not. It's your turn now, to try and get it through his thick skull, loveable though it be." she ripped up a flower, offered it to the filly. "Let it dry, it'll be lovely." Some things were prettier dead. "Consider it practice for when you and Miss Nightshade have foals of your own."
