The creature that was cleaning her (not assaulting, she reminded herself in that wordless way that children have) was mother - it had to be, instinct told her, and so she bleated a pitiful, yet cheerful, greeting to the large ivory dove. The sound disappointed her (she had heard Ma speak while in the womb, and she had always sounded so lovely), and so she snorted her irritation to the sands surrounding her. An irritable squeal left the girl then, proclaiming to the world that she would one day display the fire of her father in place of the collection of her mother.

He was behind her somewhere, and quite tall, and as the filly craned to look at him, she found herself flopping awkwardly into the sands, surprising a whinny out of herself. A frown of dismay crossed her face as she regarded her upside-down sire - Pa, fix it, she almost seemed to command him, cross at her lack of coordination.
