A bob her head back to Brisa, a brilliant laugh, and she was walking along with them, enjoying the sites and sounds, the winds and shade of the forest. Life with her friends was brilliant. “Busy, so busy,” she said a little too dramatically at Brisa's asking how she had been, but she quickly fell silent to let Aly share her more important news- the fledgling. And honestly, she couldn't have been more pleased at his greeting. So, while Aly was talking, she snuck a little smile and a puff of warm air his way, a gentle greeting for the babe that was not yet ready for flight.

Of course the queen was not so observant as the pegasus and she hadn't really noticed Brisa's apprehension to share what she had been up to. Still, even the less than observant queen caught the apprehension in Brisa's voice and when she mentioned a problem the queen was all ears. She withdrew her attention from the owl, no offense meant, and lent her heart and soul to Brisa. “It's ok,” she murmured softly when Brisa paused, looked down to the grass... What was it that was bothering her so? Brisa's answer came shortly thereafter. Pregnancy.

Now, Kahlua was not at all shocked by the mare's hesitance at having a child. Truth be told, the queen was not all that interested in having children and she would probably be as hesitant as dear Brisa if she ever found herself in the situation. Still, the Sunshower had never encountered another who was so apprehensive about foals and it struck her into silence for a moment as she considered the idea, letting Aly lead the conversation for now. She was much better with serious conversations anyways. And it seemed Brisa was more than happy to share her feelings anyways, so the queen tried to push aside her own feelings on foals and pregnancies and be the good friend she was expected to be, instead of the child she preferred to be.

Brisa's story pained Kahlua, made her very heart hurt to hear, and she quickly and swiftly reached her nose out, trying to press it against the mare's neck, to offer her some amount of comfort if she could. “Oh Brisa,” but suddenly it occurred to her that she was a queen, that she had the backing of a relatively large army. “Did you get a look at him? We'll find him, we'll bring him to trial for his injustices!” True, she was probably a little dramatic, and Aly was probably going to be better with the soothing part and the gentle coaxes that were needed, but Kahlua was determined to right the pain that her friend was feeling- even if she didn't exactly understand what she was fixing.

@[Alysanne] So sorry for the delay- crazy week!
