As the pair came approached the borderlands Calavera mother seemed to gain speed. She smiled brightly at him before taunting him to a face. Calavera stamped his hoves against the ground and pushed hard against the earth. His mother had created the family tradition of racing against each other. Sometimes she would even let him win. Racing was in his blood, though at times like this he missed the presence of his brother. It was more fun when the whole family raced against each other. As Regin sprinted ahead of him she tossed her head back in an almost arrogant manner "You owe me a boon!" Calavera playfully groaned and wondered what task his mother would give him when she collected her boon. Sometimes she would ask him to collect rare fruit for her. Other times her tasks were simpler like wearing a ridiculous accessory or making him listen to the stories about his parents first met.
"Aunt Regin," a voice nearby spoke. Calavera eyes widened in shock as the owner of the voice came into sight. It was one of Dacians girls, the last time he had seen the girls had been when they were tiny foals.

Daria's squinted her eyes a bit as her eyes focused on the duo. They were looking at her with comical interest. She knew that she shared a startling resemblance with her father Dacian. Many soq often commented that parentage was clear, but it had been a long time since this branch of her family had come visiting. Since then her elder sister and younger sister had left the woodlands to pursue their own destiny. However, living in the woodlands and protecting it fulfilled her dreams. She had no desire to follow her sister hoove-steps and her duty's as a guardian was her reasonability to uphold. Perhaps she would never meet a soq that would make her heart soar. However, she much preferred her job to the idea of romance. Should the urge to procreate ever entice her she knew she could easily find a willing stallion.
Turning her gaze toward her stunned aunt and cousin she spoke in a mellow tone. "You must be tired. Why don't you relieve some of your travel discomforts by sooking your legs in a nearby stream?

Calavera knew he was staring but the good thing about wearing a mask is that most of his facial features were covered. He must have been mirroring the same goofy expression as his mother. His niece had surprised him with both her presence and her growth. Somehow he had forgotten how fast young soq grow.

Daria thought the two might like their privacy before a swarm of moth soq hovered over them in welcome. "I'm sure both of you would like to relax a bit. I've already informed the family about your arrival through a family whistling method. You'll be soon bombarded about questions about your travels but before then, please feel free to request any items you need to gain back your energy. I'll also try to distract grandmother from all her questions and concerns."
