The hammering of hooves on the stone alarmed her, she looked up quickly to see the horses come, one after the other. She listened to the mare's soft cooing sounds, her obviously trying to calm the bull and felt slightly more at-ease with the two of them. She looked up at the two as the other horse let out a slightly over-loud expression of concern, looking back at the bull when he answered. When the flames erupted from the bull, Mawu flinched back a little, but eased back into place as she found that the flames didn't seem to burn her, her fur seemed naturally moist.

Right behind her she could hear the clopping hooves of her dearest friend and after she questioned the children she could hear him mirror her own concerns. Before she spoke back she could hear the small male speak with a voice as low as a whisper. Fell. Fell? From where? The mare looked around, trying to find the spot where he'd fallen from but it was so dark that she wouldn't be able to see it no matter how hard she looked. The only reason she knew there were two gembounds here was because of the flickering flames of the male. "I... I think so." The spotted mare nickered back to her friend, from what she could see there weren't any injuries, they both just looked rattled from the fall... wherever they had fallen from.

When she was about to say something again to both of the calves, something happened. In a rush of heat and flame she saw the hooves of the bull ignite to life. She could feel her body tug on the magic within her as a defensive mechanism against the flame but the pull was weak and nothing came of it. Only a slight skittering back of the female before her compassion won over her fear and she came forward again, despite the heat. "Fire..." She said in a mix of fascination and fear. She glanced back at Nemestrinus before addressing the children once more. "Children... Can you stand? You should come with Saga and Nemmy-Neminstrinus! We watch over you, we make sure you no fall again." If falling was indeed a problem in the pair.

"Talking looks like this!"
"Eekii eee!"
Thinking looks like this...

With perked ears, Nemestrinus listened to the little one talk, but when a fire suddenly alight on the one laying down the stallion shuffled his hooves anxiously. Ears pinned back as he lowered his head and squinted at the flames; curious yet alarmed. Hearing that the poor thing had fallen from somewhere made Nemest frown and glance around only briefly. This darkness was rather annoying. Shaking his thoughts Nemest pulled his head up and looked at Saga as he suggested the children stay with them and a grin slid across his features. "Yes! You should join us! Saga and Nemest will keep you safe!" He agreed bobbing his head up and down in agreeance to Saga's words.

Ooc: Another smol post again I'm sorry :'D just tired.

The flames that licked him left this aftertaste of startled fear in his mouth - where did it come from? Why did he make it, when it made everyone flinch from him? The little licks of flame fell around him rather than on him, sizzling to death on the girl's damp fur next to him, and though they dimmed somewhat in intensity, they continued on.

The tall one right in front of him, the one with the incredibly kind eyes, asked them to follow to a safer place, and the sentiment was cheerfully echoed. He nodded shyly, looking at his curled up legs that spat out heat and cinders. Could he....?

He planted one hoof tentatively on the ground, then the other, leaning on his legs to bring him up. He almost plummeted forward, but with one very small step, he caught himself. His legs shook as he raised up his back legs, and he spared a white-eyed glance at the two taller gems, his knees knocking.

"Speech."
