How marvelous it was to stretch! To break his slender legs from where they had curled against him for so long, to unfurl his neck where the fins still lay crumpled against his crest. The saltwater welcome had been a bracing one, and now the sand-colored colt waited patiently by his mother's side.
What they were waiting for, he had no idea, only that milk was sweet and the sand was warm. The pool he'd emerged from stirred with irregular motion, ripples and splashes drawing the eye. Wobbly legged, the colt edged closer to the pool he'd only just come from, blinking at the fuzzy outline of his dark sister. Eyes that weren't quite brown and weren't quite purple tried to focus, until the dripping filly swam into clearer focus for him.
He was curious, as most of the children of the sea are, but spared a glance back to his observing mother before he pressed any closer. She watched with gleaming eyes as her youngest children met for the first time. He smiled, nosed closer to the girl who still stood in the water. Because he recognized her as his twin, he pressed his muzzle to hers in a kiss of welcome.
Because they were siblings, he then pushed her back in.
The startled scream of their mother echoed behind him as the white mare darted forward to rescue the very thoroughly wetted filly.
