Numair came walking up several moments later. "The ponies promised to head back to the stables and behave. Cloud even said she wouldn't nip at Peachblossom."

Daine snorted and wrapped her arms around one of his. On their feet the difference between their heights...and apparent ages... was more obvious. He had more than a foot on her, and at least twenty more years from the looks of it. And as she seemed closer to Link's age than to his, that was more than a little disturbing, potentially. Especially given that the look she was giving to him was loving, but not in a family sort of way. He leaned to press a kiss on the top of her head, then looked to the badger. "And an honor to see you again, good sir."

The Badger snorted. "No whining to me if the Lioness isn't in her sett or you two go back late," he warned. Then he looked to Link. "Come closer, I'm not as young as I used to be."

Daine hid a giggle in Numair's shirt.
