100 Theme Challenge #89 - "Nightmare"

Heyyyy, haven't added to my 100 Themes in a while! This was an experimental piece in many ways, as well as the result of me just wanting to get Discord and Quarrel actually shown together in a pic. Also, my roommate recently taught me some shading and lighting techniques that I thought I'd take for a test run this time. How does it look?

So in this RP between Chryssy and I, Discord and Celestia are officially married, Quarrel is their adopted son and Celestia has additionally given birth to a daughter. Everyone has been taking note of Quarrel's apparent laziness as of late - he sleeps in, always seems tired, falls asleep during his tutoring, seemingly regular teenage boy stuff befitting to his age. But Discord later finds out that this is actually because Quarrel has started having constant nightmares about the events that led to his transformation into a draconequus, the horde of Windego-esque animals that caused the transformation, and how he was abandoned by his terrified parents once they found out. He's never told his dad about these nightmares, simply because he believed he was too old to go running for his parents help. He is still a child in these dreams, so when Discord finally goes in to help him fight the nightmares, Quarrel wakes to find himself clinging to his dad like a colt - something he probably wouldn't do otherwise at his age.
