A mother's love is saying 'I told you so' Posted on January 26, 2025 at 09:41:55 PM by Raini & Tino
Sensing the stallions guilt she stops, turning to face him as she pins him with a no nonsense look her colt was far too familiar with.
This isn't your fault Nico. I'm grateful for your assistance and plan came from a good place. He was with me when I stopped in the meadow, but unless I keep my eyes on him that boy will wander off faster than you can blink. she let's a small smile cross her face I swear sometimes he does just to annoy me! she chuckles.
Turning she picks up a gentle trot, ears flicking this way and that in search of any sounds. Before long she hears the sounds of hooves hitting the ground, following it to a clearing with small bushes dotted around.
She groans when she spots him playing with yet another snake. What is it with this boy and snakes! she grumbles before biting out his name in a harsh annoyed tone.
The colt spins quickly, the tail of the non poisonous snake in his mouth. At the spinning motion the snake take the opportunity to latch fangs in the young colts neck, causing him to let go of the snake as the serpent thuds to the ground.
how many time have I told you to leave those creatures alone. One day your going to get bitten by something poisonous Raini growls to her son.
The colt just rolls his eyes at his mother, No i won't, you taught me to tell the difference between them he's quick to reply.
Stalking up to him she lands a harsh nip to his shoulder. How many times have told you not to run off?
Pinning his ears at his mother's reprimand as he straightens up, almost taller than her. I'm not a little foal any more, i don't need to be watched all the time he snarks back at her.
Taken aback the mare brings her head up high, eyes widening slightly at his retort. No, your not. But you lack world experience you should have learned from your father. I don't want you walking into a vipers nest due to your inexperience! she says dropping her head in a defeated pain filled sign, not at all talking about snakes any more.
The colt watches his mother before glancing at stallion.
Dropping his head, I'm sorry he whispers, reaching out to nudge his mother's muzzle.
Returning the gesture she smilesI know you are she replies softly, picking her head back up to turn and look at the stallion who has been silent this who time. With a soft smile she says Maybe we do need some safe, where he can be free to explore without me hoovering over him. Replies:
