<33 thanks for changing your post sweety ^^

Saul Lupus is by Alaine!

Standing by the borders, Saul was suddenly very grateful that Niernan had accompanied him. When Saul had been in Ichika, he'd been used to travelling back and forth over the mountains and into the mainland of Nova Scotia. Hermes had been his constant companion then and Saul had enjoyed the trips. This time, he didn't think it would have been practical to have brought the stallion- Maia was a handful enough without a foal to protect. Their chatter and jokes down towards Casa had been soothing to the male, who often thought he didn't spend enough time with his family. Of course, when the majority of the pack was classed as family, this was hard to believe but it was always there in the back of his mind, to catch an extra five minutes with Teme before he left, to take the time out to show Bran something or explain something further. Niernan's comment made him chuckle softly, a silent nod escaping him. He was, in truth, nervous about this meeting.

It wasn't too long until Saul could see movement. The first thing he noticed was a heavily pregnant pale woman, riding a horse. Leading behind were two familiar figures, but he was confused as to why Gypsy was being brought to the borders as well- she belonged to Casa now. He could not yet see the three small horses playing behind their mothers, but as they came closer Saul caught the prancing of many legs and smiled softly. Trying not to demand answers straight away, he allowed the female to dismount and lead the mares forward. It was then evident that three foals followed the mares and Saul felt his face lift in surprise. The female spoke first, confirming who she was.

Thank you for your letter, Ismeme. I'm Saul and this is my cousin, Niernan Stormbringer. Saul returned, flashing his cousin an encouraging smile before the females voice came once more. An explanation was apparently the topic and Saul lapped it up, green eyes flickering from the pale female to the three foals that were still prancing around. Gypsy had had twins? Saul allowed a grin to flash over his face, a nod to show that he understood what was happening. It was certainly unexpected, but Saul remembered the mysterious 'surprise' that had been promised- the extra foal was certainly a surprise and he told her so.

Well, now I must say this is a nice surprise. He commented, before critical eyes turned to the playing foals. The black and white colt seemed spirited and played with the dark filly boisterously. With a grin, he gestured. I would like to take the black and white colt, if you wouldn't mind? He asked, before more questioned entered his mind. How had Maia been, birthing? Had Gypsy run into any trouble what with having two of them to push out? One question did bubble to the front of his lips and he allowed it to slip past, curiosity tingeing his words. Where's Dixie? Is everything alright with her and Wayne? Saul asked, enquiring after his friends. He wanted to see more of the two, he supposed he would just have to make more of an effort. With a smile, Saul reached out for Maia's lead rope, producing a smaller hand made rope halter that had originally been for Maia's foal, but he thought it might serve better on the surprise colt instead.
