Up until this point, the red-coated filly hadn’t cared much about anything happening around her. Her siblings were here, her brother having executed the most excellent idea ever - taking whatever milk their mother’s still-somewhat-warm body offered, and ignoring all the rest.
Her sister kicked her and named her, Sota - just like their mother had, she remembers now. The green-pointed, otherwise red-looking buckskin snarls a bit at her sister, but finally catches the tone of the other conversation. To the angry words, the girl lifts her poll, licking away milk and blood from her lips as she looks from the mare to the green-pointed male that is probably their family.
Of all three, Sota is the first to stand. Still dirty, blood caking mostly on her legs, she wobbles towards the two adults. Looking from one to another, she is quite content with what is happening, and when the mare talks about weaning, she listens in - then comes to stand with her.
Picking her side easily, as the mother figure offers what the father figure cannot, she glares at the other child at the mare’s side as if daring her to intervene.
Meanwhile, the green-maned Tauti rolls her eyes at her sister, but Sota only snarls at her a bit.
