Ooc; This thread is backdated, and set before Parvati challenged for Miriella, and well before Vadim was raided.


She was gone. A daughter who’s name he didn’t know, taken away from the Lagoon where he would probably never see her again. Miriella had seemed just as determined about the decision, since it was her idea from the start. But when she left, Vadim could not help but trail after them up until the sea washed away their scent at the beach. They had not been approached or detoured since they had left the Lagoon, making their way to whatever island Miriella thought best for their child. Vadim had stood there long after, before he had turned and went back home.


In the two days of Miriella’s absence, the large stallion spent most of it worrying, if not distracting himself with other things. But when her scent returned, he did not go to her or try to comfort the palomino mare. Instead, he had found his own comfort in knowing he didn’t have to track her down, and that she was loyal enough to keep her word. So again, Vadim resumed the role of ignoring her existence now that it was where it belonged.


Vadim was on his way to the Commons when a call rang across the Lagoon. Not a challenging one for a battle, but a demanding mare sound that instantly made him cringe. Devi had clearly not been pleased with the change of scenery, despite how hard Vadim had fought to get her here. The painted beast that had given him a limp for seasons, and then the over protective mother that had somehow lost. Couldn’t she just be happy he was leaving her along with the child at her side, instead of constantly driving them around or picking at them like another evil lagoon stallion might? The very thought caused him to roll his green eyes as he changed directions and made his way towards Devi instead.


When he finally spotted them, a weird awkwardness clenched hard in his belly. Vadim had never spent a single moment around his own children, and it was almost easy for him to forget they even existed. “You called?” he asked, his tone nearly flat as he tried to hide away his own unease.
