Desert

Daddy does not disappoint. Just as Paisley reaches her lips to the cool water, she hears the thundering hooves of her father. She takes a quick sip before her head flings up to see who was racing across the Dunes towards her. Her heart leaps when she sees her father eliminating the distance between them. She expected the happiness she felt in seeing him, but the sudden wave of emotion that follows came as a shock. Her gut twists unexpectedly as Cain approaches. The taller stallion wraps his neck around her in a loving embrace. It was this act, and calling her sweetheart, that opens the flood gates.

Paisley buries her face into her father's chest as she sobs. She cries grew loud to where she could not hear anything else Cain asked her. "C-can..." She tries to get the words out. "I..." Her words become unauditable. Paisley cries into her father's chest for ten minutes, perhaps more, until she finally calms down enough to talk. She takes a deep breath that shakes her body and wipes the last of her tears on her sire's two toned coat. Watery brown eyes adjust to the world around her. Thankfully no one else was around to see her ugly cry. She sighs before taking a step back.

Eyes lift to meet her father's gaze. "Can I stay with you please?" Beaty brown eyes plead with him to say yes. Like he would say no anyway...but you never know. It has been a long time since she has last seen him.
