Arcana almost laughs at Orhan's surprise. Of course she means it! Orhan has no idea how much he really means to Arcana. Their relationship isn't a usual mare and stallion relationship. He is much more than a sperm donor and leader of the land. He is her lover, her family. Arcana wants Orhan to be as big a part of their children's lives as she is. He has done so much to help her heal after the loss of her son. He's always been there for her. Even after her mother died, it was her dreams of the lanky buckskin colt that kept her going.

She smiles and nods. Tears still stream down her own face, but they are tears of joy now. Though her face is streaked with blood and a layer of wet sand clings to her coat, Arcana has nearly forgotten about earlier misadventures. She hears only Orhan's familiar voice announce a carefully-chosen name for their second daughter. "It's beautiful.", she whispers.

There is a moment of silence as Arcana looks at little Evren, and allows her some time to nurse.

She returns her focus to Orhan. "We should head back. We need to find Indira." Arcana had almost forgotten her original reason for coming to the beach.
