To be more than a conqueror Posted on May 19, 2025 at 01:08:08 PM by Nicodemus
Raini relaxes and he feels his own body untense by reaction. He hadn't realized he had been clenching his muscles so hard until he finally felt Raini's eyes soften. His ear perk forward as she answers his question, settling his worry. A sigh passes over his lips and his eyes begin to travel over her form. She looked okay just as she had stated.
Her head then motion towards the new child. "A son," He whispers as his eyes follow hers to their newborn colt. He begins to approach as Raini finished cleaning him off. A large smile spreads over his lips as he admires the colors on the boy. He could see himself in the child as Raini helped him stand. The colt then suddenly stumbles forward, but as Nico moves to catch him Raini is already there.
Nico smiles once more as his smile had faded with their son's fall. He smiles at Raini as they connect eyes, but he couldn't help but chuckle at their son's expression. It soon got the hang of things and began to take his first drink of life. It was crazy to feel fatherhood again with someone new. After all that has happened to his herd it felt like a new beginning.
His eyes were fixed on their colt when Raini speaks. Nico nods his head in agreement. His head lifts to the stormy sky and closes his eyes just for a second and protect them from the rain drops. "Do you think that means he will be a force to be reckoned with?" He chuckles as his head goes back down and his eyes open to gaze at Raini. She looked exhausted even as she watched their son nurse.
Their eyes meet again as Raini suggest a name for their new son. "It is very fitting." He smiles. "Plus it goes along with your name." He wondered just how stormy this colt would turn out to be. Hopefully Tino and his brother would become the best of friends. Replies:
