If Brevity was bolder, she really would've beat her head her against the floor. As it was... she surveyed Mirage before stretching her forelegs in front of her and shrugging. "If you're so eager, feel free. Come back when you want to." She invited perfectly calmly before straightening completely and shaking off her mainly wet body.
She trotted past Mirage and started heading up to a path that wound upward, flicking her tail. "C'mon you six." She called, and although there was a linger, Pulse, Chaos, and Infrared promptly fled up to her. Henna followed more slowly, casting looks back at Mirage, and Cerulean and Lavender both stared at him for about thirty seconds before trailing slowly after Brevity.

Mirage watched them until they were all out of view before pacing to the wall right below the cliff, under a small cliff, so they couldn't see him from above. "Brevity, I find I need to speak with you, but I'd rather not in front of your daughters." He sent through the mind, keeping plenty hidden physically. He sighed, but kept queit, awaiting her aceptance or denail to speak with him.

Her answer took a second, but it did come, either way. "Sure. I just contacted Reddy. She said she'd come and watch them. Give me a minute, kay?" She replied before her voice switched off. Obviously she was getting Reticent to hurry up or something. Just a minute later, like she'd stated, her connection came back up. "Alright, where are you?" She asked, sounding a bit more relaxed now.

Mirage frowned, but gave a physical nod. "Alright. I hope Reticent keeps just as much of a sharp eye on them as you do." He got again to his paws, splashing into the bottom of the waterfall and swimming across to the other end, sometimes even dipping under completely. "I'm just out of the water now. On the edge of the waterfall." He explained, shaking out his fur and forelock before she came down so she wouldn't accidentally glimpse something he didn't want her to.

Let's hope he went fast, because Brevity showed up rather promptly. Actually in a rainshower of scattering pebbles and a bubbling giggle as she finally skidded to a halt at the end. Whisking her tail back and forth, she lifted her head and looked around for Mirage. "Mirage? You around here?" She asked, honestly cheerful. Reticent must've said something to make her a lot happier or something.

Mirage glanced up, claws halfway through his forelock to drain the water from the thick locks. He quickly turned so she'd be facing his other side and called out to her. "Over here, Brevitas." Although he flicked his tail edgily, he finished fast and left the soaking, thick growth hanging for now. It could air-dry.

She bounced over in front of him before blinking at his thick, dripping forelock. She quirked an eyebrow, the smile still obvious on her maw, though she didn't mention it. Instead, she asked back on what he wanted. "Was there something you wanted to talk to me about, Mirage?" She asked.

He gave a nod, ignoring her reaction. "I wanted to apoligize for causing problems. But I also don't think it may be such a good idea to..." He paused, searching for a more gentle way to phrase what he wanted to say. "...to keep Lav and Cer with the others... permanantly, just yet. Neither group seems ready to accept new sisters..." He looked at her evenly, hoping his suggestion wouldn't hurt her as much as he worried...

Well, uh... We can pretend for him. Brevity dropped his gaze in seconds flat, staring down at the ground and not moving until he finished. Once he did she forced a faint smile and nodded, tilting her gaze back up to him. "If you really think so." She replied rather quietly, though she didn't fight him on the matter at least. That was a rather sad something... But you know, hey, it was something.

Mirage frowned deeply, leaning forward with a sigh to give her a faint nuzzle. "You don't have to, Brevitas. It's a suggestion. They're your daughters; you choose what's best for them." Despite the fact this decision may just impact the pups' entire future relationships with one another, but no pressure. Nope, none at all.

She drew away from him them, but not in insult or anything; just so she'd have the space to pace, which she put to fantastic use. Finally she halted and sighed, turning her face back at him. "Why can't we just ask them?" She inquired, studying him with her currently masked sterling eyes. After all, she knew that her relationship with Lavender and Cerulean would be rocky at the least if she passed them up like that without even asking.

"Well, we weren't going to just seperate them without asking, Brevity." He teased some, attempting a weak smile. "It was just a matter of now or later. I thought we could let them play for now and bring up the serious things later." He gave a shrug, showing it was a mere thought.

She sighed slightly but nodded. "Okay." She agreed simply, turning to pad back up the path. She took about three steps before pausing and glancing back at him. "Wait a second, we? I thought you were all sensitively mad at me and thought I was stupid for trusting my children?" She questioned innocently, head tilted.

He couldn't help it; he outright laughed. He forcing himself to calm down after a moment, padding ahead of her. "Yes, well, I cannot stay angry at you long. Besides, I'll not let you do this on your own. It may end up killing you." He glanced back at her, a meaningful glint in his one eye. Oh, yes. He still remembered the still too-recent and still too-raw memory of her attempted suicide. And his having to bring her back from the brink of death.

Brevity set a stubborn frown of her jaw at his last words and tore off in a lope up the path, leaving him behind. Her mocking voice was still in his head though. "You might want to dry your forelock before the bullies make fun of you, sweetheart." We can guess who the bully we're referring to is, right? Considering Reticent was still watching the children? Yup. That bully.
