It's okay for you to hate me
For all the things i've done
I've made a few mistakes,
But i'm not the only one
Staring at the duo for a while longer Lyden had to move his weight from side to side trying to get comfortable for his legs kept going numb. The cold silence engulfed the forest that surrounded them as Lyden peeled his eyes away from the foal. Skylar’s ears were back and her nose was in the air with her physic tense showing protective aggression. Normally Lyden would take offense to something like this and even more so giving that the foal she was protecting was his also. However now as he watched her Lyden’s soft lips curved into an admiring smile
Lyden just stood there and allowed Skylar to have the time in which she needed without crowding her. The weakness to her made him worry and it was not long before he felt the urge to be closer in order for her to have something – or even something to lean on. His uncomfortable stature and uneasiness is what made him come a little closer to her just as she finally looked towards him and told him to name their son.
The shock that had been glued to his face since he realized that their foal was in fact a boy only continued to stick. His limbs moved him forward without Lyden really thinking about it. He went to the side of Skylar that their baby wasn’t feeding and he brushed his nose on her shoulder gently breathing in her scent that was washed with sweat and dirt.
”you did wonderful Skylar” he wanted to call her “my love” but when he told her that he could have or did love her she didn’t respond – of course now with him thinking about it Lyden could not quite remember what he did do, whether if he said he loved her or told her that he could or was falling for her
Thinking about it for a moment he moved his nose away from her shoulder.
” how about Braylen?” while waiting for a response Lyden took the time to lower his nose to the ground and look over at his feeding son. Pride slowly was creeping up taking over the fear that was settle far to comfortably. Silently he hoped that he could be the father his own was to him and work past whatever emotional turmoil he’d always experienced in time to not ruin this little guys life. the thought brought him to look at Braylen for a moment longer before lifting his head and looking at Skylar’s tired face. ”you can lean on me love, that’s why I’m here”
