Shadow got up, without waking her foals, and walked over to the bush.

Claire saw Shadow come towards her, and she stood up slowly. She smiled kindly at her. "Hi there." She said quietly, so as not to scare her.

Shadow leaned her head down to be pet.

Claire pet her head gently. "My name is Claire. What cute foals you have!" She said, her gaze falling on Layla and Bandit.

 

[DuckLover179]

Shadow understood the little girl, and turned to look at her foals. Layla got up, and walked over. "Layla, let her pet you..." Shadow said calmly.

Pheobe pranced down by the human, with Dahlia and Bucephalus trailing nearby.

Claire giggled with delight. She knelt down next to Layla. "Hi there little one." She smoothed the filly's mane out of her face and petted her nose.

Layla took her as one of her kind, and nuzzled her.

Claire picked some brambles out of her coat and having a sudden thought, pulled out a horse brush from her bag. Next to it was a rifle, but was hidden under her jacket. Only the muzzle was poking out. She started to clean Layla's soft coat until it gleamed.

Layla saw the muzzle, and looked at her mom. Shadow stared at her foal. Noticing the worried glance, she looked over, and saw the muzzle. "Layla, please go.." Shadow said smoothly. She leaned over, and nudged the muzzle to ask the little girl why she had it.
