Skittles trotted slowly over to Flip.

Flip nuzzled Skittles's nose and whispered a greeting in her ear. He smiled solemnly back at Silver. Then, suddenly, he reared back on his hind legs, tossed his black mane, and let out a wild neigh. What more could I ask for? he wondered to himself. Then, dropping back on four hooves, Flip remembered. The only thing that could make me more happy would be... But he wouldn't allow himself to finish the thought, and he shook his mane again as if attempting to rid the thought from his mind.

Levi puffed out his cheeks, a feat that, as far as he could tell, none of the other horses would even attempt. Then he leaned his gray neck awkwardly down to crop a mouthful of grass. Then he spied Flip. Daddy! Levi began to canter towards the great yellow stallion, but then stopped short, his eyes wild. "Shumatin boodu..." he said, worriedly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Viola stared at Levi. What a stupid colt, she thought. If Flip wants everyone to think so highly of his children, why does he boast like that about this kid? Viola was close enough to Levi to hear his strange words. She scoffed. "What's that supposed to mean, stupid?" she said, frowning.

Skittles nuzzled back gently then looked at the colt, smiling she asked, "What's wrong sweety?"

"Something on your mind, honey?" Silver asked as she affectionately nuzzled Flip's cheek. She looked into his eyes with a concerned frost blue gaze, "You look a little preoccupied." she pondered aloud.

Levi stared back at her until he noticed the warning look on Flip's face. Then he rushed to say, "Tesh stan-stalt-stallion boak!" Shaking his head he tried again. "Th-the st-stallion is b-b-b-ba-" he stopped and looked in frustration at Skittles. Flip touched Levi's nose and explained. "Levi has a bit of a problem with stuttering - plus he doesn't seem to be your average colt. He's always been - different. Can't talk really well. He sometimes resorts to nonsense, although I've tried to train it out of him. I think he also believes he's some sort of a prophet or foreseer - I believe he just said 'The stallion is bad.'" Flip kissed Levi and nibbled some clover.

Flip turned his head toward Silver and rubbed his neck against hers. "Did you see that stallion? He's probably nothing, at least I hope he is. I wouldn't want him trying to steal you - or any other mares, for that matter. Besides, I think he scared Levi."

"Seeing as he walked off, it's probably nothing," she said. She couldn't help but be worried herself, and furrowed slightly. "It'll be all right, hun, just keep watch."

"Aww, poor dear! Just give him some more time, just a bit of a late bloomer is all" She said smiling, "A foreseer huh?"

(Birdy, I guess Levi isn't Silver's colt. Correct?)

Ivy spotted Levi and headed for him. "There now, Lee," she crooned in a soothing voice. "No one's angry at you." Her swollen belly, heavy with young, brushed Levi's back, and he nuzzled Ivy. "M-Mama," he stuttered.

(Well, probably not now that I think about it, seeing as he's a color that probably wouldn't come out of a mating from a Leopard Appaloosa to a Dun Arabian. Then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to horse genetics. I'm better with chicken genetics.
