Tino pulls another laugh out of him as he whines about being patient. He has been able to distract Tino this long so he hoped someone was up by now. "There are children of all ages here," He answers as they walk back to his mother. Athena, Artemis, Zohara, Alluridae, and Gizelle were younger than Tino having been just born in Spring. Zeva, Heart, Navi and Saraswati were older like his son Augustus, but Sara still had the heart of a foal. Then there was Ursidae, meihua, and Dreamfyre who were around the same age.

Wow he hadn't really counted them all before, but it was a great feeling. As long as foals were being born it meant the Inlet was growing. It also meant it was a great place to be. No mother would willingly bring a child into the world if their home was toxic. Tino breaks his thoughts by asking if there were any snakes. He chuckles again, but before he can answer the voice of Raini pops in. Blue eyes meet her form walking ahead. He had figured she would be along once she woke and found her son missing.

He watches the two bounce conversation back and forth with a smile until she mentions him. Nico shakes his head with a smile. Tino then excitedly excalims Nico would be teaching him. Nico sees the way Raini glances at him, but she doesn't say anything on the topic. This is when he asks about taking Tino further inland to play. Already knowing her son Raini lectures him about being nice to the other foals. With Tino's endless energy he wouldn't surprise Nico if he did get too rough.

Raini then says she would come along. This would be a great opportunity for them to talk along as the foals played. They could watch them and finally have a talk about next steps. Nico need to know where to place them in the ranks. "This way, He says and directs the two in the direction that could take them towards the rest of the herd. Some of the foals may not be there and could be with their respective families. It was too bad Icewine was into sending his children off or they could be here to play too. Not that he had seen much of the stallion lately.

It was Sara who first bounces towards them as they get closer to the herd. It seems she also has snuck away from her mother early in the morning. That girl was much like Tino is the sense of mischief. The only thing slowing her down was her blindness. It was just risky now considering she was enough to be considered an adult. Someone could easily try to snatch her away.

"Captain!" Saraswati yells as she get close to them. Nico greets with her a nuzzle before introducing her. "This is Saraswati." "Sara for short," She chimes in followed by a giggle. It doesn't take her nose long to pick out Tino. She sticks out her muzzle until it bumps his. "Hello! Who are you?" Nico chuckles before turning to Raini. "Let me see who else I can find that can play. I'll be right back." He moves off a little ways in the same direction he had been taking them.
