Their little family has grown so quickly.
In the course of a few years their family has grown from three (Weir, Eira and Neva) to a whopping six.
It’s funny to think about it, really. Five years ago when she’d first stumbled upon Beqanna she’d had absolutely nothing. Had been no one. The thought of a family of her own had been a distant, unlikely dream.
And yet here she is.
She smiles as she looks down at the little chestnut filly at her side, the latest addition to their growing family. Lumi’s birth this morning had been as quick and easy as her brother’s, and the little girl had been quick to her feet. Perfectly healthy in every way. Eira hasn’t had the chance to introduce her to Weir yet, but she’s certain she’ll have the chance later in the day.
Speaking of which …
Eira’s ears perk, catching the sound of familiar voices nearby. She smiles, then turns her head to look at the little filly by her side. “Come Lumi, let’s go meet our family.” Rosalind, who’d been quietly munching on a luscious bit of grass beside them, perks up and moves to follow. Eira smiles at the white hare, then turns in the direction of the voices.
It only takes a few minutes to find them, and Eira grins widely at the sight of Graeme brushing her nose against Weir’s speckled cheek. “Graeme.” She breathes, as the girl comes up and curls into her side. “Well, I actually have someone I’d like both of you to meet.”
She steps to the side, away from Graeme, revealing the little chestnut girl standing behind her with Rosalind. “Come here Lumi, say hello to your dad and sister.”
Lumi takes a few wobbling steps forward, amber eyes wide and staring. “Da-da? Sis?” Eira grins. “Yes Lumi. Your dad and sister.”
The sound of approaching hooves catches her ear, and her smile widens when she spots the newcomer. “Neva! Come say hello to your new sister!” The frost-covered mare steps forward and nuzzles at girl. “Hello little one.” Lumi stays silent, but returns the gentle touch. Then Neva steps back, giving first Eira, then Weir a meaningful look. There’s something she wants to say, but she’s giving them their time with Lumi first.

EIRA
nothing's only words, that's how hearts get hurt
Figured I'd just do all of this in one post, rather than have separate birthing and Neva leaving threads
