The red dun mare drifts through the desert sky, putting the warm air currents to good use. She is thinking on how long it had been since the last time she had been here. How long it had been since she'd last seen her mother, and the answer to both was far too long. Kabechet had drifted away as she neared adulthood, keen to explore the world. She doesn't know yet if she is back to stay for good or if this will just be a visit, but either way, she is here now. Her gaze is aimed downwards towards the golden sands, attempting to spy out Yael's location. This was the best way to do it; trudging through the arid desert on foot instead of by wing would take so much longer, especially if her mother was also on the move. At the edge of the kingdom, she spots her quarry at last, hidden in the sheltering red stones, and turns her headlong flight into a landing spiral.
A surprise awaits Kabechet when her hooves have touched the sand, and her gaze now settles upon a tiny sleeping foal. A newborn, a brand new sibling? Though, honestly, she still isn't sure how many of those there are. Yael loved children, both her own natural-born and the orphans (a certain red pegasus included) she couldn't help but collect, and their family was a large one. One larger, now, with the colt sleeping next to an even tinier ball of fur added in. There would be time to introduce herself to him later, once he had awoken, and she would not disturb him now. The young mare turns her eyes back to the golden mother she had missed with every day that she had been gone. Approaching her as she rested in the aftermath of birthing, Kabechet whickers joyfully and touches her nose to Yael's. "Hello, mother. I've missed you, I hope you can forgive me for being gone for so long? "
