Rain In Summer Storm Clouds Posted on May 17, 2025 at 11:08:43 AM by Raini
Upon hearing his voice Raini visibly relaxed.Nico she breathes out with relief. When he asks about the foal and her welfare she smiled we’re both fine she said before tipping her head towards the foal come, meet your son she offered, having realised he was waiting for her to give him permission. Of course he didn’t need it, she would never keep Nico from this moment or from their son, but she did appreciate the gesture all the same.
Returning her focus to the small bundle on the floor she continued to clean him for a few moments before gently nudging him, urging him to try to get to his feet once more, knowing how important that first feed was.
At his mothers urging the colt tried once more to get to his feet, practically throwing himself forward in his attempt to quickly get to his feet, stumbling forward. In his haste to stand thought he somewhat forgot about his front legs, pitching too far forward he would have nosed dived if his mother hadn’t curled her head around him.
Raini chuckled as she steadied her son so impatient she said with a smile and a glance up at Nico as the foal facial expression turned sour, annoyed at himself.
Raini watched with a smile as her stubborn little son slowly got the hang of his long legs, gentle guiding him toward her hind legs, his instincts taking over as he searched for her udder, quickly finding it as he began to drink.
Raini closed her eyes for a few moments, with her foal cleaned off, on his feet and feeding exhaustion hit her. Opening her eyes again she gave Nico a tired but loving smile he picked fine stormy weather to be born into, didn’t he? she said quietly. Storm she said to herself, glancing back at the beige and white colt as she repeated the word twice more.
When her eye came back to Nico’s she tilted her head the smallest amount before asking what do you think of the name storm for our child? Replies:
