It was comforting to see the pair of them nearing, unharmed.  It was always a mother's burden to worry about those she cared for most.

She watches as Eviction kindly presents his sister with an apple.  Even though they drove each other to madness you could still see they cared for each other deeply.  She smiles for in this moment they are not fighting.

Attention turns to Jack as he introduces himself to Amen and questions what is going on.  She is about to answer when Jack's usual brightness is clearly faded.  As he fills her in on their run in with the twin's father her navy eyes shift to Eviction.  Her expression saddens at the thought of their fun day being ruined.  "I'm sorry Jack," a pause follows before she continues, "I know how much today meant to you."  She extends her muzzle to nudge his.

Withdrawing she remembers they are not alone and shifts her body to include Amen.  "We do need to talk about several things then..." She looks to the charcoal area just beyond them near the river, "Escence set the Meadow on fire, accidently."  Her gaze shifts to the scaled stallion, "Amenadiel rescued her."  She adds now looking to Jack, "I'm afraid we need to move someplace safer... For everyone.  Amenadiel was telling me of two places he knows of, The Dale and The Gates, right?"  Her gaze shifts once more as she inquires again of the lands he spoke of earlier.

The gown of green and gold shifts gently on her back as her body rebalances.  She listens to all that is said and nods in agreement with Jack before replying, "I agree."  

Her navy eyes lift to the scaled stallion, "Would you show us the way to The Dale?"

In her pause for Amen's response she nicker to the twins.  The listen for the briefest of moments and then trot to her side.  She smiles as the winged stallion offers them a direction to head.  "Come you two, we are going in search of a new home," they look to the adults with bewilderment and curiosity.  Then, per usual, Escence is bounding off ahead of them.

She laughs kindly at Amenadiel's remark, "Adoreable yes, but also a handful, as you know.  Escence is very... free spirited."  It was the only description she could think of that suited the fiery child.  

Settling into a leisurely walk beside Jack, she can't help but notice the stranger's struggle.  Concern paints across her features as she watches him take leave.  "Are you alright?" She calls from a distance.  She can't help but notice the small glowing sparks that spatter from him.  Her eyes look to Jack with worry.  "Y-you think he is ok?" She whispers, insinuating more than just physically.  They knew little about him truly...

Soon he returns and takes position in the lead.  She sighs a slight relief and presses her shoulder into Jack as they walk along.  "It'll be nice to have a home don't you think Jack?" A day-dream like smile comes over her as she watches the twin's race about ahead of them.

The daylight is being to fade as dusk falls upon them.  The day has been long, and she can see it as the foals begin to tire.  Seemingly unending energy does have its limits.  

She acknowledges Amens words as she is no stranger to the struggles of their worlds magic.  "The gifts bestowed upon us are sometimes challenging to harness...  Unfortunately, the more challenging are also the deadlier ones," her eyes flicker to her fiery set of foals.  Their challenges have already begun and yet they are too young to understand the dangers they put themselves and others in.  So, she takes it upon herself to burden her shoulders with the weight of them.  She only hopes they are accepted into the kingdom they seek.

A whicker calls out to the foals.  Eviction is already starting to lag behind and Escences usual spunk is all but gone.  "Where should we settle down for the evening?"  She asks of her traveling companions.
