Kestral is only confused for a moment, before the situation becomes clear. Kyuubi has a twin sister. Kestral's face breaks into an easy smile, and Keen's anxious circling ends. Her silhouette can be seen drifting off over the mountain top. "I am Kestral. It's a pleasure to meet you, Kurama." The leopard spotted stallion gives a respectful bow of the head. "You are correct. I am looking for Kyuubi."

It seems Kyuubi has not returned from her own journey into motherhood. Kurama seems concerned, but Kestral is not. He's seen Kyuubi in his dreams, very much alive. Kestral trusts she'll be okay.

He follow Kurama with curious ears pricked forward and eyes shining in wonder. Kyuubi had chosen a place, not far from where he and Kurama had met, to birth her child. When eyes first fall upon her, Kyuubi is lying prone upon the earth. Her labor hadn't been easy, but a strong mare like Kyuubi would always prevail.

The arrival of company urges the mare to rise. This filly, so damp and new does is indeed a dark reflection of Kestral. Kestral steps up beside Kurama. His face glows with pride. "Well done, Kyuubi. What will you call her?"
