Diable Rouge
>Diable Rouge looked back down to the colt who lay in front of him. He looked calm, peaceful. The rusty stallion felt his heart nearly drop to his stomach...he pleaded with God to let the child live so someone could help him.
And suddenly, as if an answer to his prayers, the colt began to twitch ever so slightly. His ears jerked around, his eyes fluttered, and abruptly, he jolted to his feet, legs wavering beneath him. Rou felt a surge of happiness immerse him. Could he really be okay? Kaiode pressed his body against Diable Rouge, and the roan felt himself instinctively put his neck over him, as if to say "it's okay."
The mare jumped into action, leading the malnourished colt to suckle. A feeling Kaiode had never had before in his short life - the feeling of warmth, protection, and love. Rou felt himself smile as this happened. The small filly looked pleased about her mother helping, as she excitedly asked him how he liked it.
"Can we keep him mom?!" She asked, body bouncing. The question makes Rou chuckle. Of course...as long as you don't mind sir.
A daunting question that he hadn't thought about in his fear. The colt couldn't survive without the milk this mare could provide but...Rou didn't want to leave him, even if the stranger was a seemingly good mother. The stallion looks at the mare, two-toned eyes staring gently into hers.
"Sure...that is, if your mom doesn't mind me tagging along," He looks back to the filly. "I care for him. I just want to make sure he's okay."
