Still sulking just a little over Kaj stating that he had to talk to mother about it he couldn't be more confused. He wanted a brother or sister what more was there to talk about? Mother had been happier when Levex was still around so clearly she would want to have another sibling for him around. Convinced that he was right he let the thoughts drift off until after his flying was done. There was no need to convince mother he already knew she would be all for the idea. Nodding to himself he couldn't help the extra kick to his step as excitement and anticipation flowed through his veins.

Well flying had gone well...until he ended up buried under the snow that is. Struggling to free himself he thought he heard something but it was hard to tell for there was too much snow in his ears. Rustling soon became apparent but still the boy couldn't figure out which was ways up but it was getting stuffy and he wanted out. Fear bit down on the colt as his movements seemed to fail to help him, how was he going to get out? What it Kaj didn't find him? Would he die? "Kaj? Kaj!.." Before his mind had the chance to freak out too much more something warm touched his cheek making him still. "Kaj?" he mumbled trying to spit snow out of his mouth by shaking his head to no avail. More snow fell away before bright light blinded him causing his eyes to shut closed as he managed to free his head and body with Kaj's help. Somehow when he had fallen he had managed to land half upside down, but he didn't remember rolling anywhere. Hmmm Strange..

When he managed to open his eyes he stared up to his saviour looking down on him. Snorting softly to clear the cold snow from his nose he managed to pull himself upright but still remained sitting half in the snowbank. Smiling brightly at the compliment he felt like dancing with joy. "I told you I could!" Scratching his face upon his front leg he then moved to trying to fold his snow encrusted wings back to his back. With the added weight of the snow they felt as if they weighed a bazillion pounds but he was going to do it without help, he was strong mother had said so. Using his body as leverage he threw his head forward while his front legs scrambled to pull him back to his feet. It took a couple tries but finally his wings pulled free letting him rise. Stepping forward gratefully he leaned his head up against Kaj's shoulder letting the residual fear drain away as he pulled comfort from his teacher's presence. The response was so natural and automatic it took a minute or two for the colt to realize that Kaj probably didn't want him to touch him. Pulling his ears back uncertainly he pulled back as step or two feeling a little embarrassed for not remembering that he didn't have a father that loved him to go to. If mother was here he would have likely gone to her now not knowing how to feel but not feel. "I'm sor..rry" he mumbled shamefully ducking his head to his chest staring down to the white fluff.

Thoughts about death and dying scared him a lot ever since he had been thrown over the cliff by accident. He didn't want to die but now that he had tasted what that fear was like he never ever wanted to get that close to it again. Shivering either from the cold or from the fearful thoughts he shook himself attempting to hide it.
