The arrival of someone in terrible pain yanks her hearstrings back to their proper place. Turning, chocolate eyes moving swiftly past those gathered some distance away, she sees a small filly, not one from the tournament, favoring a badly injured leg. "I must go help that filly," she excuses herself gently. "It cannot wait. Phoenix, stay here." The mare pulls away, trotting up the slight incline. She pauses at her eldest son, looking with concern. "Shazaam, please talk to me when I have healed that filly," she pleads, turning with her heart aching from the look of betrayal she saw in her son.

Phoenix heeds his mother's words of his own accord, reaching up his tiny nose to touch his father's. Attempting to mimic his mother's behavior, he snorts lightly before taking a baby-soft breath. He folds his knees under him and curls up between his father's --the knowledge was instinctive-- front hooves. He stares reproachfully at those gathered on the hill from his protected position. He had tolerated the crowd as his mother did, but she had left and thus given him permission to do with crowds as he felt like doing. At the moment, he was entirely confused by the ongoings and simply wondering why everything seemed to be happening at once in his short life.

Halfway out of the conversation, Ellie halted and dropped her head down to stare at the little colt. A sly grin crept onto her face. A deep yearning for one of her own blood shoved into her eyes, always the betrayers of emotion. Her long thick tail snapped at her sides and she guided Daughter of Time duitifully back to the Beach.
