Sunny's eyes widened a little at how blunt she was. Not that it wasn't a good thing -- it had to be, in some situations. "Ummmm..," He nibbled a little nervously at his lower lip before saying, "I don't know if any of us are father material. A few of my... aqquantinces and I don't have mates, if that's what you're asking." He shrugged his shoulders gently.
"Why would your owner do that?" Hana finally managed to murmur, feeling light-headed and a little weak. "I mean... she knows you have a mate, right? You told her?" She lifted her eyes shyly to meet his, she felt like they were meeting all over again, except this time, it wasn't such a good occasion. But on both occasions she had felt frightened, nervous, with that tightening in her stomach, like someone was tying it into knots. "It's so... mean." She shivered with something between anguish and anger, then turned to Isabelle, who was still hysterically trying to wipe away her tears. Then, suddenly, her eyes lit up. "I have an idea!" She squealed, "I have this foal -- I just had her a few days ago... what if I give her to you guys? Then it won't be a problem, right?! You guys will have a foal, too?!" Hana stared at her, speechless once again. "Uh...," she murmured. Isabelle whistled and suddenly a foal, still gangly-legged and a little uncertain-looking on its hooves appeared, nickering softly.
"I guess I could give it a try -- I'm not promising I'll be even remotely good at it, though," Coal winked at her teasingly, imagining himself trying to fly over a hurdle with the sort of grace it took to win competitions, the sort of grace that his beautiful mate had. "I'm a swimmer, not a hurdler." He glanced over toward the jumps and gulped a bit nervously, but he'd try anything for her. He'd try jumping to the moon and back if he thought it'd make her happy. "Let's give it a go." He said, trying to sound cheerful.
