In the midst of blossoming maternal instinct, she somehow still finds the time to be baffled at the situation. Still manages the particularly Noel response of confused consternation. It certainly isn’t resolved when Nash, weary and worried, stumbles upon them. He stares at them for all of two seconds before bursting into a laugh.
Ears pinning, she releases a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding in a perplexed snort. She didn’t think they looked that ridiculous. With a soft huff, she shifts her hindquarters until they are facing him, effectively blocking him from her sight before returning her attention to the two small forms wriggling at her feet.
Still, now that she knows he’s there, it’s almost impossible to ignore him.
Lips trailing tenderly along one tufted mane, she lips the feathers of her folding wings before turning her attention to the other with a soft sigh. “I suppose you need names.”
Though the words are ostensibly spoken to her daughters, they are loud enough for Nash to hear, should he choose to. A concession she hadn’t realized she’d been making. It takes her a moment to continue, all the while watching out of the corner of her eye for a golden red figure she is absolutely certain would be rounding on them any moment. Touching the winged filly again, she murmurs, “What do you think? Elegance?” Even as she speaks, the filly wobbles, causing her to chuckle briefly. “Not yet maybe, but soon I bet.”
Turning to the second, she noses her gently. “And you?” Her lips find the gently glowing stripes on her spindly legs. “Luminesce I think.”
