He giggled. "It's wonderful to see my sister-in-law smiling on this morning," he said with another yawn. "But.. I'll try help her with the troubles. If you want, you can join in."

[Applejack]

"Get used to the smiles," she said, prodding him with her good paw. "They're here to stay." She smiled and retracted her paw. "Its not too much to ask, is it?"

[MaxMike01]

"It's rarely you smiled like that in the past, but with your mate with you, it's perfect." He shrugs slightly.

"Things are always changing," she said softly. "Just as my feelings have changed, so has my mood. I'm not always to be the cruel lioness you loved." She said the last part jokingly.

[MaxMike01]

"I barely even loved you when you were cruel. Now that you're settled, I'm starting to actually love you more as family."

[Applejack]

She frowned softly. "Whats that supposed to mean?" She asked. "We're family. We're supposed to love one another no matter what." Then, she closed her eyes with a sigh. "I guess I wasn't the best exammple of that, was I?"

[MaxMike01]

Haij sighed. "We weren't family in the past, but now we're family." He giggled.

[Applejack]

"True," she said softly. "How is she doing?" She looked over at Kiara's sleeping form. "Has she had anymore.. incidents?"

[MaxMike01]

He looked down at Kiara. "She's fine," he said softly. "There were no incidents from her when I was with the Princess."

[Applejack]

Vitani nodded graceously. "Thank you for giving her a reason not to leave," she said softly. "I was afraid I would lose my sister."
