ITP: Baaaaby animals. Well, one baby horse.

[al_for_one]

[On this fine day in Camp there is one young colt very carefully picking his way towards the mess hall on unsteady legs.

... Make that was. His legs just went in all the wrong directions and he flopped to the ground with a startled whinny. What will you do?]

[investigate... an try not to laugh at the fall]

[al_for_one]

[will be over here trying to get his legs back under him]

[tis_allgood]

Takes a bit of getting used to, so it does.

[al_for_one]

[aha. back on his hooves and wobbling towards you unsteadily]

[tis_allgood]

There now, you will be a fine workhorse yet.

[al_for_one]

[nudging at you] I would bite thee if I could.

[tis_allgood]

Al...?

[al_for_one]

[nudge nudge] I'm a-hungry.

... Your horse fair dislikes me, Bert.

[tis_allgood]

She can be quite stubborn... How did this happen?

[al_for_one]

I know not. I awoke in between Charger and Glue Girl. She kicked me.

[sounding woeful]

[tis_allgood]

[stroking your head between the ears] It will be alright, aye. I will see to it you're cared for. And I will find somewhere else to keep Glue Girl until you are better again.

[al_for_one]

[that's nice. but still hungry. nudging more, as nursing foals will do]

She did not mind so much if Chamber was between us but if I came any closer she would try to kick or bite.

[tis_allgood]

You look young, not even weened, I would rather not see you kicked by something her size.

[al_for_one]

Aye, and a-hungry. 'twas fair painful to be kicked so.

[tis_allgood]

Mayhap I can find something for you to eat. Seems you're too young to eat as Glue Girl and Chamber do...

[al_for_one]

The mess hall might have something to be mixed into a proper milk. I was going there.
