Nods softly, knowing it's true. She closes her eyes, prepared to just lay there until she can be moved or until her labor start, which she fears it might very soon.

Lifts her head and leans it against Secret's side, since there wasn't much more she could do and her hooves were sharp, like Aru's. Her cheek was pressed softly against Secret's side, casting a glance to Sherbert before sighing. It was going to be a long day.

Claire laid a hoof obediently on Secrets' shoulder. At the last minute, however, she pulled it back. It hadn't been a conscious action, only shocked reflex. Through all the fuss with the earthquake, she had forgotten about the princess, but now she felt terribly guilty - and not only for not looking for Rosedust to begin with. Now there had been a serious natural disaster, and for all she knew the princess could be lying unconscious under some terrible wreckage... She shook the image out of her mind. As much as the other flutter annoyed her, Claire worried about her in a sisterly sort of way. If she hadn't seen it as her responsibility to find Rosedust before, she certainly did now. Claire flew up high over the rocks, shivering again, and flinched when a fierce howling sounded out in the distance. "Wh-" The winds picked up without much more warning, and she fluttered her wings furiously to try to keep steady. Sand from the beach was being lifted into the air and whipped into her eyes, and she squinted as she struggled back to the ground. It had started raining quickly, and now wet sand stuck to her damp wings, weighing them down. She dropped helplessly to the ground and used her wings to shield her face. Why is it, she thought, that Rosedust can make things difficult for me without even being here?((Uh oh, she's in trouble. ))

[[I'll just respond here for my Sorrow...]]
Soul Sorrow was at first about to join the others when they winked away with Night Secrets, but as she approached Secrets, she felt a strange tug at her other foot. She stopped and felt the shadow beside her leg move a little. She could feel Sun Sword's ghost more acutely. He didn't want her to go with the others. He felt there was something there, on the beach. She should leave behind.
She frowned and let the others go, hoping that they would take care of Audra like they had promised. She turned and, on half-turn, winked out. She winked back in on top of a few rocks farther away, looking around.
The flutter caught her eye even as he scouted the landscape. She seemed to have missed the winking at the last minute. The gust of wind and the shower of rain did not do much to shake Sorrow, but the flutter was obviously quickly in trouble. Seeing her fall to the ground, her wings dirty, Sorrow quickly winked out again.
She appeared next to Claire in a moment.
"Are you all right?"
But she had the feeling there was something else going on. Something... close somewhere.

Claire peeked out from under her wing at the sound of Sorrow's voice, and considered her question. Deciding to be honest, she answered, "Well, no."
Since the other pony seemed much more calm about the whole situation, she felt a bit silly for cowering under her wings, and straightened up to shake herself off. It didn't get rid of all of the sand, but helped at least a little. The flutter wanted to leave off on a hopeful note and added, "...But I will be just as soon as I can get out of here."
Now that she was looking straight at the mare, she recogized her as one of the group from the earthquake. "I...I'm sorry, I know you told me your name earlier, but...I'm Claire, from Flutter Valley."
((Oh, and should we go ahead and take this to the other thread? If so, we could either post a little more and wait, or do it after your next reply. I haven't read the most recent posts over there, so I'd have to check and see if it's even convenient.))

Soul Sorrow smiled a little to the flutter. She examined her as she stood up. No flying for this one in a while, she thought when she saw her muddled wings. Her deep black eyes didn't really seem to be looking anywhere in particular even though she was looking straight at her.
"Soul Sorrow," she said, not surprised that she had missed her name before. Not many people remembered her even after knowing her a longer time, anyway.
She examined the flutter once more and then moved in closer, to stand next to her by way of preparing to help her if she should slip or require other kind of assistance.
"Here, let's get out of this beach. You need some fresh water to clean your wings and the wound," she said. "Perhaps we can find a healing house ourselves."

((Hm...you know, good point. There are so many options... You decide! ;D Hehe, I just can't, so I'm making it your job again. Either the one with Storm, or the Healing one. Or we could stay here for the time being.))
Claire was just starting to nod in agreement, but suddenly froze and shook her head enthusiastically. "Y-no. No, no, no. I-I can't. Look, um...later. Later would be nice. Great, really. But not now. Right now, I have to look for Princess Rosedust. She could be hurt!"
The flutter was working herself into near-hysterics, and looked around frantically. "Oh, there's so much wrong with this place right now! We've got to find her! Please, could you help me find Rosedust? Then, I promise I'd go straight with you to get cleaned up or healed or whatever you think I should be doing." It didn't seem like much to bargain with, since Sorrow was offering to help her out of kindness in the first place, but it seemed like all she had to work with at the moment.

[[You = mean! lol well I gues we'll decide in a bit then, this seems like it might be fun for a while.]]
Sorrow was made quite curious by the mention of Princess Rosedust. What was this about a princess? She looked at the little flutter with her expressionless black eyes. She could feel there was something terribly wrong with this place, that was certainly correct. She could feel the gentle familiar shadow that rested on her more acutely for a few moments, then bowed her head a little to the flutter.
"All right," she said. "I will help you to find this... princess." She furrowed her brow a little. "Princess Rosedust, though... that name brings something to my mind." Her eyes widened just a little as a memory slithered its way into her mind. "Not the daughter of the Rosedust from Flutter Valley?"
Out of pure shock, she did not make a move to start walking away from the sandy beach.
