Reassuring his beautiful pearl that she is family now brought back memories of her actual family for as the memories flashed through her mind Lyden could see it on her delicate face. At first the pale mane is unsure if he brought up something that could potentially rip open a wound after being so careless and open with his past he had done exactly that – he didn’t wish the same vulnerability on her. She however seemed to roll with it with far more strength then he and explained that she missed her family but she firmly felt that being here with him was for her best interest and that her father would like him. The pressure of her bumping into him made him smile ”oh I don’t know missy, something about fathers and their girls, it stirs up emotions that someone never thought they had”.

After he winked at her Lyden flicked his ears back as he listened to her respond to his statement about Skylar and even though he was looking away from her shamefully he was able to glance at her for a brief moment to see the horrid surprise cross her face. Lyden isn’t sure what is worse, the fact that he surprised her in a horrible way or that he very well could have just instilled some sort of fear of him to her. Caesisus being the angel that she is to him spoke of how she wouldn’t judge him and that it was in the past and he had chosen his path and so had Skylar. Lyden listened intently and when she spoke that his past made him the man he is right now in the this very moment along with that man she obviously something Lyden laughed. ”that man that you love?” reaching out he brushed his nose on her cheek affectionately showing her just how crazy he is about her.

”she won’t return at least not for good. Skylar is and always will be a peak mare” he pulled his nose away from Caesisus’s cheek and ran it down her nape speaking calmly ”I know that now. All there is left to do is pray that my girls come home to stay even if it’s just for a little while” their innocent faces ran through his mind quickly making Lyden pull away from cae and stare at her directly ”I don’t want you to ever feel like you should be afraid of me or what I might do someday. I will never hurt you, ever” he felt better being able to voice that out loud to her to insure she understood before he side stepped closer to her seeking comfort from her warmth.
