[B] Like Father, Like Son (Honey Flower & Giveforward) [FIN]

[gooberfeesh]

If there was one surefire thing that Honey Flower shared with his father, Sky's Secrets, it was a fun demeanor and love for life. It wasn't uncommon to find him prancing about, radiating positivity and beaming rather excitedly for seemingly no reason at all. And now, well...he simply couldn't have kept his eagerness to himself if he'd tried. He was soon to have children with Blooming Sunrise and the mere thought delighted him. Little adorable babies of Acha and Kimeti origin, much like his own family. Ahh, how wonderful!

The energetic buck had made it a personal goal to seek out the kind and wise mare who had helped his parents with their blessing prior to his birth. He had asked his mother, Flourish, where to find said mare, yet she told him that there was no set place to locate any of the Legendaries. They were naturally drawn to the call of hearts and souls and could have been anywhere. Well, thought Honey Flower determinedly, trotting near the border where desert met swamp. Then I'll just have to try very hard to call her!

Honey Flower was pleasantly startled by the sudden and yet VERY joyful appearance of the one he had been seeking out. He joined the mare in her prancing, circling her happily as his excitement once again overwhelmed him. "Yes, yes! I have you to thank for making me so wonderful," he agreed, giving credit where credit was due.

He stopped prancing long enough to offer the mare a charming and sweeping bow, though it only lasted a mere second before he resumed his enthusiastic bouncing. "Just like my father before me, I've come to ask for your help."

Honey Flower nodded so fast that he nearly stuck his long horns into the nearest tree trunk. Whoops! Straightening back up from his less than graceful movement, he grinned at the lovely one and replied with utmost conviction: "I'm very happy, yes! I want my children to be happy as well, and also find beauty in everything. Especially their mother, because she is pretty and nice."

Honey Flower's mouth dropped open in an almost comic fashion. He had been expecting a simple well-wishing, or even a perfectly acceptable 'good luck'. He had NOT expected for the mare to sweep him away with such a beautiful and heartfelt blessing - one he would remember for the rest of his days. His jaw snapped shut as emotions anew welled within him.

"That will do perfectly! Oh, thank you. Thank you so much! You are just as good and wonderful as my parents promised," he gushed, unsure if he should bow again or return to his former prancing dance. "Should my children ever find themselves a parent, I really hope they meet you as well."

The awed Acha buck watched the songbird depart with a full heart. He expected to feel a little alone now that such a warm and fulfilling presence had left him, yet he felt just the opposite. He was filled to the brim with elation and could hardly wait to tell Blooming Sunrise what had happened. Their children would be blessed! He could think of no greater honor or privilege, and the mere thought alone encouraged his hooves to take him back to his mate even faster.
