The stablehand just came to tell me: the twins have arrived. Usually, when a horse foals twins, one does not survive. But the stablehand also says that at least so far, both are alive, and that the vet is looking them over to see about their health

Oh my gosh! Really! They're here! Are they going to be okay?! Do I need to do anything?!

[k_tez]

The vet says they both appear quite healthy. A bit smaller than usual, but that's to be expected given the circumstances, and it shouldn't prevent them from reaching full size by adulthood.

For now, there's nothing to do. The vet is going to keep an eye on them for a day or two just to be sure, and he'll teach me how to mix a bottle supplement for them, which I will pass on to you and Ryoma. But as of right now, we wait.

[normal_guy_chou]

That's good. I'm glad they are healthy, that is most important.

...okay. If anything comes up, I'll be around the house all of today.

[k_tez]

I'm glad for it too. I wish I didn't have to work today; I could go and take a peek at the little family.

Alright. We should be able to see them, soon.

[normal_guy_chou]

I'll keep an ear to the ground and let you know if I hear anything.

[k_tez]

Somehow, when you say that, I picture it literally.

[normal_guy_chou]

With my huge ears it would hardly be necessary. :)

[k_tez]

It still makes for an interesting mental picture.

[normal_guy_chou]

I tried it once during the sheep run and got kicked in the head. It was not my finest moment.

[k_tez]

Aww. Always important to do something like that carefully.

[normal_guy_chou]

I am writing it off as a bruise to my pride and a good lesson.

[k_tez]

And the bruise is only as large as the number of people who know. The most important thing is that you learned from it.

[normal_guy_chou]

I'm afraid it is not a lesson that translates into daily life.

[k_tez]

I'm sure it can. Always be careful. :)

[normal_guy_chou]

That is a good lesson. I wish I had learned it in a less embarrassing manner. The other anima had a pretty good laugh around the campfire about it that night.

[k_tez]

I'm sure they've had their share of mistakes and lessons learned, as well. We all do.
