"T-thanks," Fishbowl said softly, blushing at the compliments from both of the chubs as he gently plucked up the picture and gave it to Hope. "You can have it, if you want." He was always shy about showing other chubs his art, he'd only really ever shared it with Anastasia (and one picture with Kat) because he was afraid they would tell him it wasn't good, and drawing was the only real thing he had to express himself. Fishbowl listened to her sing and felt himself calming down, he smiled serenely at her wonderful singing voice and nodded slowly. "That's awesome." He told her, grinning. "I bet all of the other mares are jealous about your singing voice." He added, glancing around the pasture at where all of the other chubs were milling about chatting and socializing. He was so glad to be here with Hope. He knew Chippy liked her too, but he was really hoping he stood a chance with her. She was gorgeous and sweet and his muse already, and he barely knew her.
"Why don't we go get something to drink then?" Coal suggested, nuzzling her softly. "You should get some water before it gets any worse. Come on, we'll go back to my stall and get some, okay? I think we both could use a good rest anyways, and Isabelle's going to be fine." He smiled peacefully, glad that everything was going to be okay. Anastasia was slightly startled by the voice and what Mel told her, but she thought it was kind of cool that Minty was hanging around, watching over them. "This is Risa. I wasn't going to bring her in yet, she's kind of... well, not very good at socializing, and still a bit thin for my liking. I... er... 'adopted' her about a week ago, I've had her at home caring for her." She patted the mare on the neck and Risa flapped her tattered-looking wings in response, looking Mel over curiously.
Prism arrived at the stall first and dove inside just as Anastasia slipped out to fetch Isabelle some food. "Mom!" She gasped as she lay down beside her, but Isabelle opened her eyes and kissed the top of Prism's head, murmuring, "Darling, you're back." The little foal at Isabelle's side squeaked as her older half-sister nearly landed on her. Sammy just stood in the doorway watching, so glad that Isabelle wasn't seriously ill. She smiled fondly at Prism and gasped as she noticed the new foal, staring in awe at the other filly as Aura lifted up her head and looked back at Sammy, giggling a little as she nuzzled her mother warmly.
Hana's eyes went wide when she heard the news, she had to cover her face to hide the single tear that rolled down her cheek before she could wipe it away, but she swiftly wiped it away and then brought Fireworks near, hugging him tight. Death was getting too close, and she hated the feeling of it creeping slowly but surely into their beloved stables. She didn't want death anywhere near her beloved mate, or her beloved daughters, or her beloved son!! "That's terrible," She mouthed back to him, nodding her head to make sure he knew she understood. "Baaaaaaaaaaa," Fireworks chirped. "It is bad, sweetie," Hana agreed, nodding her head.
