The call caught his ear easily and brought a swell of excitement into his chest. His alto answer rang across the desert as he hurried to the duo waited. He had met Belita if only shortly but she had made an impression. He was glad she was finally here and he would get to meet her daughter. Perhaps this was one foal who wasn't his who might like him. Unlike Cercei.. a small voice danced across his mind. He snorted, shoving it away. He wouldn't let anything damped his happiness at the moment.

His white hooves ate up the dust and in no time at all he saw the pair growing larger. He skidded unceremoniously to a halt a few yards away and eagerly walked the rest. His usual lopsided grin was on his face and he made no attempt to hide his joy at seeing them. He stretched out his painted nose to the darker one of the dunskin and breathed out excitedly. Then he pulled back so he could see both of them, lowering his head slightly to be more on the fillys level.

“Hello, I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting.” He wouldn't go so far as to stretch out a physical greeting to her. He was not her father, he was well aware of that. Over time, somehow or another, Hollowpoint had many children who were not his living in his home and he liked to think he knew what how they preferred to be treated. He would be her protector, and if she sought for it he would treat her as a father would his child, but not until he asked. He was well aware of personal boundaries.

He raised his head back and his golden eyes practically danced as he looked at Belita again. “I hope the trip wasn't too difficult,” he said with true concern. Traveling with one so young was never easy and the toll it may have taken on them both worried him, especially with the dunskins current.. condition.
