Ouroboros Spine I'd trade it all to taste a drop

Raindrop had heard Valiant announce the arrival of his cousin, and came trotting down to the edge of the borders to greet the young Morningsider. She had told Rosa and Angel where she was going, and invited them along, if they wished. 

Rosa, who had always been shy, followed her mother, but kept her distance, finding a tree a few yards off to stalk observe the reunion. 

Raindrop approached with a friendly demeanor, her tail swaying as she came to stand beside Valiant. She wanted to nuzzle him, but was just a little hesitant to show open affection. At least until she got to know this soon to be cousin-in-law better. “Hello! I’m Raindrop. How are you?”
She greeted, then made a reference to her daughter’s sneaky presence. My one daughter, Ponderosa, is waiting further up from here. She’s always been a quiet one.”
