It occurred to me then, that perhaps I wasn't alone in the clumsiness and awkwardness that came with not only be one larger lady, but one that often wore her heart on her sleeve and was a nervous bundle of energy. Which always seemed to be the negative sort. Tripping here, fumbling over words there. I perked an ear listening to the gypsy's words. 'I grew up in a small herd, it is different here. I guess it could needs getting used to, but I do consider The Falls my family now. And such they are there as more than just kingdom mates.' I nod, as if agreeing with my own words. Perhaps I should listen to myself sometimes. I had thoughts in my mind, they swam in an ocean, fumbling across my mind like fleeting little leaves along a river. I fished out a couple, but never posed them. 'Sometimes we let things get to us. More so than often it isn't needed. Don't worry Susquehanna, you'll fit in fine here. I just hope you like it.' my words are sweet as the honeysuckle in summer, and the smile that meets my lips grows, just like the swelling of my barrel -- it is achingly rotund, with life, with a child I was uncertain how to approach. I knew one thing, I would be a far better mother than I had. The dark thought creeps along the back of my eyes, darkens my green orbs a little, but they soon brighten at the presence of the dappled queen. Who, I noticed is looking quite positively glowing. The life swelling her flanks as mine. But she seemed to carry it far better than I. 'Shatter, Hello! This, this is Susquehanna.' I gestured with my muzzle to the gypsy mare and then back to Shatter Me. 'Susquehanna, this is our Queen.' I dipped my muzzle, an incline of respect. My smile does not hide the undertones of complimentary bliss. 'You are positively glowing, Shatter.' I tilt my ear to the right, and eye casting a gaze to her equally swollen barrel. I had visions of children playing come spring, and the thought sends a warm glow inside of my soul, something that I held onto quite tightly. Family. It made the fuzzy warmth radiate from my cheeks, my eyes. 'Susquehanna is new to Beqanna. And would like to join the Falls' family.'
