Our chief want is someone who will inspire us
to be what we know we could be
None of them wanted to leave December behind. Not a single one. Fenyx, however, put up the biggest fight. The girl had passion, that's for sure, and she likely inherited his emotional nature - something he wasn't really ready to face just yet. Vynter followed along a bit easier but the boy seemed to take after his mother emotionally. He is a curious boy, though rather aloof - his brain seemingly geared more towards logic than emotion. Both of them are still so young it's difficult to discern what their personalities truly are and with his judgment rather clouded from sorrow, he can't be certain of anything. This was all new to him, just as it was new to them. Miykael has never been left to care for foals by himself, at least not without a mare to bring them back to when they get hungry.
As the trio approach the gate, both foals respond to his touch and stop alongside him. The girl safely tucked beneath his wing and the boy seemingly wanting to explore but listening to him anyway. His nose lingered briefly on Vynter's, feeling the warmth of the colt's breath on his nose and offering the slightest smile. Miykael is trying to be strong, trying to keep himself together but he's constantly hovering around the line of 'holding it together' and 'complete breakdown'. All it would take is one wrong word or thought and he'd be a puddle again. How is he supposed to do this? How is he supposed to keep going? His call, no matter how hoarse it was, rings true across the land. He has no doubt that someone has heard him and everything seemed to be going well... until Vynter saw Eliana soar over the wall. Suddenly the colt bolts, racing after the night bird as quickly as his newborn legs can carry him. In that instant, Miykael is suddenly riddled with anxiety. Fuck. Fuckfuckfuck FUCK! is all that seems to run through his brain. "VYNTER, NO!" he shouts after the boy, hoping against all hope that he stops and comes back. That boy will probably be the death of him.
Miykael's gut twists as he watches the boy disappear. 'Vynter followed you. Watch him Ellie, please. Keep him safe.' he pleads through their bond, And though he is stilll anxious, he knows he can trust her. It takes everything he has to stand still, to keep himself from pacing. He has to hold it together for Fenyx. He has no choice. But his panic causes him to zone out a bit, to stare blankly at the gate in front of them while unspeakable images race through his mind. Miykael hears her first but it isn't until he squeezes his eyes shut and opens them that he sees her. And he almost breaks down right then and there. Alysanne is clearly concerned as she approaches and her questions are soft, so soft. "It's... their mother... she..." died he thinks, but he can't say it. Miykael fumbles over his own words, fighting to hold back the tears that threaten to fall once again. And his face, his whole face just hurts. Everything hurts. Red-rimmed blue eyes find crystal clear green. "I... I'm sorry. I just... didn't know where to go." he begins, feeling the familiar burn of tears moistening his sore eyes. The dunskin paint blinks rapidly a few times, allowing a single tear to escape.
He longs to move closer, to fall to pieces in her embrace but he (barely) resists. "I couldn't save her." his voice wavers with his confession. The words are another blow to his already broken heart. Miykael had been so focused on Aly that he didn't notice the golden mare's approach. As his gaze shifted to her, he recognized her instantly from the Rift battles - she was one of the many he'd healed. "December didn't get a chance to feed them. Do you know of anyone that could..?" he asks, hopeful but desperate at the same time. He knew they wouldn't stand a chance if they couldn't find a lactating mare willing to help.
