"I saw them just yesterday, but when I went to grab the girls they weren't there." He hadn't looked too hard because he didn't want Tino to wait so maybe they had just wandered somewhere else. It was odd for Panda to go too far to the edge of the Inlet or even to leave. She never left with their young daughters. Raini asks if they could have gone to visit someone and he shakes his head.

"Panda, like you, was from the main land. My family in the Inlet is all she knows." Raini then asks if he was worried something could have happened. He didn't want to think that especially when it hasn't been a long time yet, but it was hard not to. "I hope not. I haven't smelled any unknown stallions around and there are a lot of members here who might have seen something if she called for help." She then offers to help. Nico gives her a small smile.

"No, you should focus on settling Tino and yourself to the Inlet." If she tried to help him he only assumed Tino would sneak off from her again. Besides, he didn't want to go into panic mode yet. "I appreciate the offer though. Just keep your eyes out for me?" He asks. "Panda is a short mare with a black and white coat. Our two daughters should be with her. One is Tino's age, a dunalino with white, and the other is only 2 months old. A smoky shade of black with white kind of like her mom." That was the best he could describe them.

Raini should be able to pick Panda out by her height considering she was one of the shortest around the Inlet. "But I want to change the subject before I go patrol the borders for them." He had something he needed to clear up with Raini now that they had some alone time. "You are now apart of the Inlet, but I havent asked what you want to be considered. You can be a regular member not connected to anyone but Tino or..." He pauses before continuing."You could be one of my mares if you'd like. Which would mean we would be working to grow a romantic relationship." He wasn't sure how Raini would feel about that. Especially just arriving to the islands and not meeting anyone else aside from him.

"But Raini?" He asks before she could answer. "No matter what you choose I would like to adopt Tino as my own. I think I could be a good father to him." Nico always attached himself quickly to the children. If he had his way he would have a bunch of children himself.
