'Iccy, Iccy!'
'Hrm?'
Thaslë was still walking around the riding area, even at the late hour it was at that moment. Almost dark, and the adult horses were all tired from their day work and walking around. Icarrus was just resting a bit when the foal popped up behind the bushes. Dragon had taken him away from his mother and the young one was allowed to roam free only when Tariya was at the meadow of stable. Dragon had taken the mare away for the night to prevent Icarrus from stalking her - and the other way around. There were no plans for a second foal, and both Emma and Dragon agreed on that. Thaslë was enough for now. The foal was nice, but a lot of work. Feeding a foal with a bottle more than eight times a day... please no second one so close after the first.
'Iccy!'
'What, kiddo?' The purple-marked Icogan lifted his head and shook his mane to shake away some sand. Thaslë took a trot and closed the distance between him and his father. 'Come play!'
Play? At this moment? 'Kid, it is late already and I've been working today. Please, leave it and go to sleep.'
'But -'
'No butts or asses! It is too late for a kid like you. I understand you haven't got much time around the others lately and I know there isn't anyone around your age for now - but I'm not gonna play with you now! Besides: Dragon took away my red ball, so there is no fun around here now.' Icarrus tried to rest a bit more, but the young water Icogan started rearing and jumping. 'Oh enough!' Icarrus moved to stand up, but as he came in a sitting position Thaslë jumped and landed on his back. Next he started to pull Icarrus' long mane.
'This is quite funny!'
'No it is not, you littje snot! Go away!'

And so, Thaslë made Icarrus' night quite... busy. Kids need to play, don't they?
Things to practice: blur the edges of the bushes and tree leaves. They are a bit... hard now and stand out too much.

No references used. I did use my tablet, mouse and random inspiration during class (oops, you didn't just hear that!)
