Maybe in time, he could build a relationship with Berit and Vulcan and make her see that he wasn't just in it for what she could do for Carbon. He thought her a valuable asset in itself because she obviously was getting away from a dark past with death and chaos and he wanted her to find peace for herself and her son. If he could help by being a good role model for the kid, then that was a bonus in itself because he loved being a father. When they were swimming, the tobiano noticed how well Vulcan listened to his mother, picking up the pace when she clucked to him. Cain was sure the colt could be a mischief maker if he really wanted to but for the most part, he looked like he was already being raised right. The draft stallion couldn't wait to see more of his personality come out as he played with other foals and developed. A single ear flicked to hear Berit's words as she told her son to bed down and behave himself when they arrived in the Desert. Cain was grateful for her sense of urgency when it came to Carbon but he didn't want her to push Vulcan aside either. He let it go for now, figuring that things could change when they got to the Desert. When they made it up on shore, Akello was quick to meet them. Cain couldn't help but glance at the pair out of the corner of his eyes, wondering what they thought of his oldest son. Akello was definitely different looking with his dunalino spots and golden stripes. The sturdy stallion caught the look in Berit's eyes though when he mentioned bringing Carbon to him. Really, he just wanted to make sure the colt was able to stand at this point so he could get to the milk. Cain never brought him far inland, wanting the colt near the shore so if he brought someone here to save him, the colt would be close by. Akello was a gentleman as always, introducing himself before he turned to go back for his little brother. Cain felt pride in his chest at the way his son conducted himself, knowing he was going to make him proud some day. As he paced though, it wasn't long before he felt the tug at his mane and he turned his concerned gaze to Berit as she said they could meet them. He nodded with a small smile of gratitude. "You're right, he should be resting. Let's go." After that, they took off to meet Akello and Carbon and that's when Cain paused to let her fully take in the situation she had put herself and her son in the middle of. He felt only fear for his son's life and hated to see him wasting away. The black colt had a fighting spirit though and even when his sister gave up living, he wouldn't follow her into the grave so Cain had felt hope in that. After a minute though, the black and white paint couldn't resist reaching out to touch his son, as if to make sure he was indeed still alive and here. He wanted all the hopes and dreams for his son to come true and for that, he needed to live. A single ear flicked back when Berit spoke to her son, telling him to help his brother. Vulcan showed his morals once more by nodding and straightening like he was fully ready to do whatever needed to be done. Cain couldn't help the pride puffing up his chest to get to be a part of such a colt's life now that he'd met Berit. He let the mare step between them, watching with hope in his eyes as she used her nose to try to guide Carbon. The black colt swayed on his hooves as he stumbled against Vulcan's side and reached out his nose to the mare's shoulder, lipping at her fur in hopes of finding something. When she touched him with her nose, he jumped at first, but gave a gentle snort before he continued his exploration. Finally he found the udders and one tiny ear flicked back to hear her words, though he was only half listening, his lips around salivating at the milk dripping from a teat. He wasted no time in sticking his mouth to it, remembering well what those are for since he did get a chance to feed right after birth from his own mother. He suckled and gulped, though he was still weak so he couldn't be as pushy as he might normally be. His thin legs trembled and his belly bloated like a tick. Finally, he couldn't take anymore and he some rush out of his nose in his fast suckling. Coughing, he lowered his head and Akello gasped in concern, reaching out to nuzzle at his flanks in worry for his brother. Once the coughing abated, Carbon licked his milk stained lips, glancing up at the mare with true curiosity for the first time. Then he blew a bubble with the milk on his lips before his little legs collapsed out from under him right where he stood. Cain inhaled sharply, afraid his son was broken but Carbon let out a big yawn, licking his lips some more before he curled his head around and closed his eyes. Apparently, he'd made himself so full he was exhausted and wanted to sleep it off. Letting out a breath of relief as he watched the black colt's sides go up and down with more strength than they had in days, Cain's expression softened as he looked to Berit. "I will never be able to repay you fully for what you'e done for me and him, but my promise stands. The desert is your home as long as you and your son want it. I will defend you both till my dying breath." His eyes were fierce with determination as he said it and Akello straightened up as well, taking one last look at his little brother before he looked between the two new horses. "If you need anything, let me know." His gaze fell back on Vulcan on more curiosity. "I can show you some pretty cool stuff around the desert whenever you're ready."
