He cherished these moments with his any of his children. Ryolette was special; he could tell. She was spirited like her mother and had an adventerous soul that was sure to get her into trouble. He liked watching Harlequin out the corner of his eye though, taking in the softness of her features and the emotion in her eyes. It wasn't so long ago she would have all that hidden behind thick barriers and such fire that he could never hope to see through. Now, she was vulnerable with him, open, and he couldn't be any happier about it. They had a strong bond that few could understand. Even though they didn't stand shoulder to shoulder as lead mare and lead stallion, make no doubt that she was one of the first he would always turn to for advice or input and he would never doubt her trust. She had earned his time and time again. She was important to him and to the herd and he couldn't think of how he'd run this herd without her here to help. She was the glue that held it all together. He showed Ryolette the expanse of the desert and snorted softly when her mother teased him about having to comb the dunes looking for his daughter. He smirked. "As long as she watches out for poisonous scorpions and deadly snakes, it should be a walk in the park, right? Oh, and hungry coyotes. And devious jackals...." His voice trailed off like he was going to keep going, his gaze drifting between the two as he waited for a reaction. Amusement gleamed in his eyes to show he was teasing but it wouldn't hurt to put a little fear in his daughter as well to keep her closer until she got bigger. Ryolette said the he would keep her safe and he smiled down at her. "You are absolutely right. As long as you stay where I can see you, nothing can harm you. And just cause you don't see me, doesn't mean I'm not there....in the shadows....watching you." He slowly reached out his head while he said the words carefully, his eyes twinkling with mischief until he went to nudge her shoulder playfully on the last words. When Harlequin spoke again, he reached his head back up, his gaze softening with affection as she touched her muzzle to his. "You can't get enough of this mule." He practically purred with a wink. When she suddenly looked doubtful, he had to smirk as he nodded, his face sobering. He didn't want her to worry about leaving him to watch Ryolette. She was his daughter. He would never turn down spending time with her. "Of course. Get your rest. We'll be fine."
