He stood silently star like eyes gazing behind their surroundings. Azure orbs took advantage of his absent focus she cast a swift glance towards the cleft were your baby lay tucked safely into it's bed of moss. Her smile was warm, almost motherly, before she turned her attention back to Ciceron. As his warm strong neck curved around her and pulled her closer she sighed contently. 'This is such a strange feeling. I think...' She twitched her dished ears clearing her head, she didn't need to think of something like that. 'Not right now, not yet,' she thought silently. She pushed the thoughts away and leaned into his warm embrace enjoying his gentle touch. Her own giggle tinkled from her muzzle as well.

As she pulled away she stood watching him curiously waiting for his response. Flesh ripped as thick muscles tightened trying to warm her frozen body. She could feel her legs prickling like hot pins were floating under the skin. Cremello dishes flipped forward drawing in his voice, but flicked slightly at the stallion's hesitation. 'He isn't telling me everything...' She mused quietly watching his body language as he continued. His words flew around her brain buzzing like bees, repeating what she had just heard until they sunk in. Struck dumb with the tidal wave of thoughts and feelings, she gaped at him her mouth slightly open. 'Maybe he feels like I do, just maybe.' She smiled at him then shivered deeply again.

His eyes darted around and she followed their gaze, when they steadied. The moss was thick and green, she would bet it would feel springy, like pine needles. She couldn't help but think about how sweet the large dappled stallion was, always looking out for everyone else first. "It probably wouldn't kill you to warm up either Mister Ciceron." She smiled playfully her words slurring lightly. Turning her lithe body towards the mossy floor, right foreleg half extended she felt for sure she was about to pass out. Spots of black seemed to swirl everything together; everything was a blur. Hearing anything became suddenly difficult, and her body started to tremor sending fear flooding into her brain.

Then she was normal again, well, on the inside anyway. Her vision cleared and she could see again, then there was that incredible warm feeling all over her body. She thought stupidly that maybe it was just her happiness about being with Ciceron. She lowered her hoof she let her soft voice swim towards him as she asked one of the question burning in her mind, "Ciceron, is there something bothering you?" If Parelia had been able looking at her own body she would not have been nearly so calm and collected. During her episode blue and white flames had erupted onto her body. Now everything besides her head was engulfed in warm licking flames. She could only feel the warmth, there was no burning or pain.
