QiC Extra: Mummy’s Boy

Story: Fox was growing up into quite the good looking thoroughbred. On the race track he was usually the only completely white horse, his generation didn’t seem to have many full dominant white horses in it as he came after horses like FHF Witching Hour and JA’s White Wonder, and out of all his many siblings from both his parents sides he was also the only completely white horse. If it weren’t for his talent and lineage this alone would make him special. 

Amalie always did very well in tidying him up and making him look pretty, she’d had a lot of practice from Abyaz after all, but Fox was still young and mischievous. He liked to play and mess around, the only times he didn’t were on the track - as he had to time to - and when he was asleep - because he wasn’t awake to. Unfortunately for his ginger, he had to behave for the Youngstock Halter Class. 

The biggest punishment, or correction, Fox could receive was having his ear rapped. A light twack on his ear and he crumbled as though he’d committed some heinous sin and he would beg forgiveness like a parodical son. However he was a big boy now, taller than his ginger and this meant that he could simply lift his head and he was out of reach. He quite literally made himself above reproach and by the spark dancing in his blue eyes you could tell he would be loving it. This meant that Amalie had to pull some low blows to regain the upper hand and regain respect.

She often had polomints in her pocket, not only for the horses but also herself, as she’d loved them since childhood. It was something she and Fox shared in common, their love of the little donut-shaped mints. However, if Fox wanted to have one, he’d need to lean down...

Amalie led Fox out onto the paradisiacal beach view, she herself momentarily getting distracted by the beauty of it all. Still, their number was called and she wanted to have everyone seeing how handsome her little curly-haired colt had grown into his gangly legs and donkey ears but Fox, it seemed, didn’t want to trot or stand nicely. He pulled on his Halter, eager to test the water (very much not taking after his father who feared the stuff with a passion) and Amalie was loosing her patience with the baby. Still, when she reached up to lightly scold him he pulled his head high in the hair, tongue lolling out. She rolled her eyes and snuck her hand in her pocket, Fox’s attention instantly drawn and his muzzle was soon pressing against her wrist. 

Twack. 

“Behave.” She whispered, letting him jut back before smiling as he followed nicely. “You’ll get one after if you’re good.”

Translation: you’ll get one anyway because your my favourite so please behave. 

Fox proceeded to follow her around the ring and stood like a Prince in front of the judges. Still... it didn’t take long before that pink tongue poked out again with the cheeky glint in his blue eyes. Amalie rolled her eyes and sighed, knowing there wasn’t anything she could do this time - Fox had always and probably would always have his tongue poking out, comic relieve or resident joy-in-a-bottle, it was Just who he was and who was she to stop him.

literally the only thing off about this is the crisp sharp horizon line, since that's so far in the distance it should be blurry and out of focus. but all the rest is such nice colors and shininess and i love the lil tongue n stuff cB such nice lines too, it's awesome k ♥
