Ruffienne

The black mare had returned to the main territory after the scuffle in the western lands. Ruffienne knew Comet was most likely upset at her and the whole issue. Aydan had been his ally. Ruffienne sighed heavily, trotting up to the frozen river. No doubt, Comet would address her after that combat.

Comet

Comet wasn't too far from Ruffienne as he followed after the black mare. Ears pricked upon his head his eyes seemed a bit distance. After he came up next to his mate though they seemed normal. As soon as she stopped he attepted to nuzzle her neck briefly. "Are you okay,"he asked her softly. No he wasn't mad at Ruffienne at all. Infact he understood her completely, and he could relate to her wanting to keep her promise about killing Aydan. Anyways Aydan broke their alliance so he didn't care for the mare anymore. However he decided to let her keep the snakes that were already there. Besides it wasn't a good idea to have Kahvi seeing or finding out he went to her terra. Snorting Comet waited for Ruffienne to answer him.

A low nickering cry came forth from behind them. Comet turned wondering who would dare to inturrupt his talk with his mate when he realized it was a foal. However this was a VERY newborn foal that still wobbled on its legs. The scent from her told clearly who the mother was. It seems Starfire has produced her first and last foal by Comet. The black filly came forth seeing two grownups. She went over to Ruffienne letting out low crys for food....

Comet watched wondering what his mate would do. If she didn't want to raise the foal as her own than Comet would assign another mare. Either way it was up to the dark queen.

Ruffienne

Ruffienne pricked her ears at the sight of Princess. Looking at the foal, Ruffienne could see the filly's ribs and bony figure. Ruffienne herself was not that far from foaling, therefore she had produced milk this far. Ruffienne reached over, nuzzling the little foal tenderly. "This is StarFire's foal, isn't it." Ruffienne nickered, beckoning the foal towards her teats. If Princess did, Ruffienne was allowing the filly to nurse.

Comet

Comet watched seeing Ruffienne's reaction. Everything seemed okay, maybe even the dark queen will take her over as her own. "I'm afraid so, love,"he spoke softly now.

Princess was violently sick before she could go any closer to Ruffienne. She threw up twice on a bush before the sickness numbed away. The young filly had a low immmunue sister that would cause her a lot of sickness, but that didn't stop this filly. She moved over to Ruffienne to nurse now glad that she felt comfortable around the mare...

Ruffienne

Ruffienne licked the little foal's withers tenderly, trying to warm the poor little foal. Ruffienne looked up at Comet, chuckling softly. "She's a little Princess. Princess...that is what she will be named," Ruffienne looked back up at Comet for a brief approval. Ruffienne adored foals, and Princess was never to be alone. "Do you know of StarFire's fate, m'dear?" Ruffienne was uneasy knowing the former lead mare had vanished.

Comet

Comet watched silently as Ruffienne cared for the filly. "A lovely name, for a lovely filly,"he said reffering to the name.

Princess looked up at the voice. Wordlessly she shook her head not talking. She hasn't talked yet, and it'll be awhile before she confident enough to do so.
