"Oh... that is strange.." Kaliska shrugged.

Barrett noticed her trap, and put his fists on his hips and lifted his chin. "Yep, that's me!" he said in a manly voice. (xD)
____________________
"Probably not.... I don't think anyone would want to eat something as cute as all of you.." Jasmine smiled.
Braxton shrugged. "Presentable? Psh, just freshen up a bit. No need to look presentable." he snorted, then smirked.
________________________
Emily made a snorting sound from the kitchen. Max smirked. "If we didn't want you to stay, we wouldn't have asked." he said to Thrain, and laughed.
"I know. Well they say the light had grown stronger since they moved Quila. maybe that has something to do with it." She pulled out a golden baby spoon. "This was Brenks too."
______________________
Myrna covered her mouth and started laughing hard. Here eyes dancing with amusement.
_____________________
The colt giggled. "Okay." He blushed.
"Oh.. well.. My vest and my shirt are a bit hard to freshen anymore." Ferris felt maybe Braxton was starting to get protective in that area so he shut up about it.
_________________
"Okay." Thrain let out a soft chuckle. "Need help with anything?"
Kaliska fingered the gold spoon. "That is pretty.." she said.
________________
Barrett joined her laughing, and then his eyes flashed and he darted off to the pastry table.
_________________
Jasmine smiled. She looked at the foal who was almost finished with the bottle, and then started cleaning Red's tail with baby wipes.
Braxton shrugged. "We're almost here.." he said, and they began to walk down a dirt path, almost as long as Braxton and Jasmine's farm path.
______________
"Nope, we're almost done!" Emily called, and Jesslyn walked out to set the table.
"Yes.. it is Moby gold. SO you can use life magic if anything happened to your baby like they choke or something. We had one for Myrna too." She smiled.
_______________________
"Hey!" She laughed chasing behind him. She could not catch him the whole way back.
________________________
Red was out cold. With the occasional twitch of the leg.
Lana strained the huge pot of pasta when there was a knock at the door.
Lana opened it. "Yes?"
"Where is he? Where is my son?" A large strained yet gruff stallions voice sounded through the halls.
"Easy Sir... take a seat and calm down a moment." Lana sighed seeing he was obviously upset.
"No.. I want to see my colt now!"
Lana frowned. "I need to verify you first sir it is protocol." She informed.
Ferris heard the squealing if animals and pigs. "I hear you future bride. " Ferris teased a bit and chuckled.
_________________
Thrain sat back down and watched her set the table.
"Mmmh.." Kaliska murmured, nodding.
_____________________________
Barrett waited for her and then started looking over the pastries again.
__________________________
Jasmine poked him gently. "Red.... Red.... c'mon buddy..."
"Thank you Ferris." Braxton said sarcastically.
__________________________
Jesslyn set the plates and filled the cups with water.
Brenk poked his head out. "You done yet?"
Melanie smiled. "I haven't shown her your highlights yet."
*facepalm* "I am going outside then." Brenk sighed.
___________________________
Myrna snatched a bearclaw. "Okay you win that time." She giggled.
________________
After a while he sleepily blinked his eyes opem then rubbed them. "Me no wana go." He then closed them again.
Ferris chuckled. "So on a more serious note.. if Jasmine you only foal you ever had?"
____________________________
Thrain got up again and looked out the windows. When he turned around he met Jesslyn gaze and flashed her a kind smile.
Kaliska giggled. "Bye.." she said to him.
__________________________________________
He bowed to her, and smiled. "Why thank you.." he said and took the same.
___________________________________
Jasmine smiled. "Go where?" she asked.
Braxton knew more questions would come. Again he put his hand on the back of his head. "Ahh... lets just say she's the only I have... umm.. now." he said, his voice dropping to a very low monotone.
_______________________
A small smile flashed on Jesslyn's face before she walked back to the kitchen. She came back out a second later with a large steaming bowl of pasta. Emily took of her apron and followed.
"Bye love be back in 30." He chuckled and sighed.
___________________--
Myrna bit into hers and swayed back and forth a bit. "Barrett.. I did mean what I said earlier." She smiled
-_________________________
He blinked sleepy eyes opens again. "No go away me seep.........." he looke at her a long while as if confused. "Jammy? U stiwl here?"
Lana came into the room she looked over at the 6 month old foal then picked him up. "His daddy was able to come back..." she kissed the foal. Then she took him out the the overwhelmed stallion waiting in the kitchen.
"I see... I have a brother... but he wasn't in the tent with me." Ferris eyed him. "Sure he's just like the old man... dad went through mares a bit quick... mom lasted a long time. Don't worry I doubt you can shock me, but if you want I will keep my shut and not ask."
____________________
Thrain pulled out a chair for Emily. Then Jesslyn. "Thank you for dinner." He nodded taking a seat.
Kaliska smiled, watched him go, then turned to Melanie.
_________________________________
Barrett stopped, mid-bite. He looked at Myrna. "What was it that you said?" he asked sheepishly.
___________________________________
Jasmine watched the foal, and waved to him. Then she nodded to Red. "I'm still here." she said gently. "Are you okay?"
"No... that's alright.. I just don't like thinking about it." Braxton shrugged. "I did have other foals.. but none of them made it past a year. It wasn't my fault, they just never seemed to live.." he shook his head sadly.
______________________________________
Jesslyn smiled slightly and sat down. Emily shook her head. "You should join us more often." she said, while Max took his seat.
Melanie giggled. "I think I embarrassed him."
_______________
Myrna blushed. "Ummmmm................." She took another bite to stall. (lol)

"Wes... but I miss Mamma and Duddy." He sat up looking around as if he wasn't sure where he was then he got up.
The stallion took his colt and thanked Lana.
"Are you sure you will be okay with him.. I mean you just got back... you need some time to grieve sir." Lana was concerned.
"I just need to hold him....... " He walked out with his colt.
Lana started crying feeling terrible for him.
The stallion carried his foal he had never met before and walked towards town. He found a shady spot and let the foal toddle along in the grass. The he started weeping about his wife.
(Okay I just made myself tear up)
Farris put a hand on Braxton's shoulder. "I am sorry to hear that...Braxton... that is unfortunate. Were they winter foals?"
________________________________
Thrai was quiet a moment. "That is kind of you Emily. I might take you up on that offer. I am terrible at cooking." He smirked. Then his comm beeped and he started reading it.
"He'll get over it." Kaliska giggled, shaking her head.
_______________________________________________
Barrett reddened deeply. He stuffed his mouth with his bearclaw to keep himself from saying any more.
________________________________________________
Jasmine's green eyes turned sad. "I miss my mama too, Red." she said, hugging him.
(
)
"Nope.... healthy... then dead..." Braxton grunted. "My mares were distraught.. but I didn't care...." he let out a long, looong saddened sigh. "I do now."
______________________________________________
Jesslyn looked up, paled, then looked down at her food. Emily smiled, but didn't say anything. Max just kept eating.
