TheUmbrella

A short time later Amaranth returned, landing in front of Gerty, he took a piece of paper from his bags. "I was right" He said, looking it over. "It isn't too far from here.."

WIth a big smile, Firework turned to Fire Heart, he shook his head up and down. "Yes, yes, let's go!" He giggled with absolute glee.

"Huh? Oh uhm, well I guess you can" Amaranth replied with a slightly confused tone. He really wasn't as good at this as his wife. "Maybe you could try to use something else? I think frost stuff like that will freeze over other herbs..."

( OOC: I'm sorry for the late post. I got a little busy with other things in real life. Back now! )

Entranced with his own music, Walzting Serenade did not take notice to the new pony in front of him, he contiued to play his merry song blissfully unaware of the world around him. His song sounded like magic itself, it was flawless, happy, and full of energy. Waltzing really did know how to play after all, he had praticed all his life.

Amaranth flapped his wings, easily picking himself off the ground he flew into the air, back to Cloudsdale with great speed.

"She will be safe with me. I promise" Walking out of the office, Amaranth looked back at Gerty. "I need to go back home for a moment to get a map. I think I know where the herbs are but I want to be sure"

"It seems so" Amaranth hovered Gerty, a smile on his face. "You should be more careful, Misses Gerty" Turning to Golden Heart, he thought for a moment then realzed something. "My wife, Chrysanthemum, she could make something to give your daughter her energy back. I know the exact herbs I have to collect, maybe you can help me Gerty!"

Amaranth's smile started to grow. He knew he could help this family, some how.

It had been forever since Waltzing Serenade came home to Canterlot, he'd been away, traveling for years now. Walking down the cobblestone streets with a 'Clop, clop, clop' Waltzing sighed. Looking around, he didn't reconize any of the buildings, Waltzing had no idea how close he was to his parent's home. He had to admit it, he was completely lost.

"Oh, sure, I can navagate all through this land but I go home and suddenly I forget all my skills!" Annoyed, Waltzing Serenade shook his head with a snort. Being this lost brought back memories from his childhood, memories of himself as a Foal, running about Canterlot trying to get home as night fell. "Ugh!" Not liking these thoughts, Waltzing smacked himself in the head with his hoof to shake them loose. "I am an upstanding Stallion now, I can do this! .....Maybe if I start playing I can jog my memory"

Walking over to a little corner, Waltzing Serenade used the magic in his horn to open the bags on his back. Standing upright, he leaned against the wall behind him, and started playing his lute.

Hearing the thud, Amaranth stopped in the door way, he turned slightly to see what happened. "....Is she okay?" He asked, noticing Gerty. "My son is pretty accident prone himself" Walking over to Golden Heart, Amaranth tiled his head a bit.

Going down stairs Chrysanthemum trotted over to her husband. Amaranth was still working on the vase when the two apporached him. "Oh, hello" He smiled. "How can I help you?"

"My client has some questions about a few plants, mind helping me, darling?" Chrysanthemum batted her eyes as she spoke to him.

"H-heeh" Amaranth gave a goofy little laugh. "Gosh...I'm flattered....I'll see what I can do!"

"See, I told you everything would be okay and it is!" Firework gave a little giggle from the excitement she had. "You really are lucky, Fire Heart!"

"Right, well, that's good at least" Amaranth looked between the two parents for a moment. Something had been bothering him since he met this family and figured it was time to say something. "You should both make time for your child or children." His voice turned stirn as he began. "This shouldn't have happened in the first place, you're parents, her guardians who are supposed to watch her to prevent this kind of thing. I realize that I am calling your skills into question but it bothers me..."

Amaranth paused to take a breath. "...I should take my leave now, good day" Walking towards the door, he opened it, then stepped out.

"Is she going to be okay?" Amaranth turned to Golden Heart, concern in his e

"I appreciate the help" Amaranth started. "He can be a bit of an...absent minded colt" A soft chuckle escaped him as he thought about it. "My wife is quite the same. She once almost burned our kitchen down because she forgot a cake she was baking....It was so cute" Amaranth lowered his head a bit, a hint of loneliness glimmered in his eyes

Amaranth turned to Golden Heart with a soft smile. "I think we're also even. If I remember correctly you helped my son, Firework..."

Rising from his seat Amaranth followed after the Doctor. Once inside his office, he set Pixie down then turned to Gerty. "I should probably take my leave now" He said softly. "I don' t want to pry into your personal lives or anything"

A soft, annoyed grumble came from Amaranth. Going over to a chair he sat down & sighed heavily. ".....He better get done quickly"

He could slowly feel himself slipping, that wire was starting to stretch a bit much.

"Well....Let's just get you to the clinic" Amaranth began picking up the pace at this point. "Come on Gerty"

Amaranth nodded while listening to them. "I could never let my son leave. He means too much to me & my wife" He said softly

Amaranth turned his attention to Gerty. "You live separately?" He seemed surprised, very surprised. "That..that is just not right. A family should always be together" It seemed to bother him quite a great deal.

"I am sure you do but you need to not bring harm to yourself while doing it. If you put yourself out of commission then you will not be able to do the thing you love & all those ponies will go without letters or parcels. Think about it, child" Amaranth said with a soft, fatherly tone. He didn't mean to be rude or hurtful.

Nodding, Amaranth followed Gerty at an even pace so not to drop or make Pixie sick. "My son is a hard worker himself. I can understand how you feel in a way, to top it off he can be a bit..." He paused to think of the right word. "Absent minded, yes."

"Let me carry you on my back again, Pixie. I'll take you." Amaranth offered, approaching Pixie he bent down a bit.

Watching them Amaranth couldn't help but feel worried for the filly. He was quiet for a moment until it finally hit him; he recognized her! "Ah...You are Pixie, correct?" He asked with a gentle tone. "You probably remember my son, Firework"
