The yearling filly laughed, ducking her head in a playful manner when he lipped at her short mane, side bumping against her fathers in playful affection. She was so pleased when he said he wouldn’t leave her alone that all other concern disappeared. She hated being on her own outside of their own territory, she had been worried to put her concerns out there to her father in case he was disappointed in her, or worse, angered by her apparent weakness.
Following him deeper into the falls she noticed his tense muscles and the way his eyes flicked around, as if he was looking for something. She frown and glanced around, not seeing or hear anything that wasn’t normal nature sounds. After a short debate with herself on weather she should as him what he seemed concerned about she decided against it. He was with her and he had said he wouldn’t leave her alone so she would be with him, or her brothers. She didn’t believe anything could harm her when they were around her, certain in her belief that they would protect her.
There was something else she had been meaning to ask her father, though unsure of his reaction to it gave her pause. But she wanted to know how to protect herself, to stop her from the weak link if there was an attack. Father, there’s something I’ve wanted to ask you, but I’m worried you might get mad she said. I wanted to know… well I wondered she stammered her nerves evident. Please don’t get mad but I wanted to ask if you teach me how to fight she all but blurted it out as she waited for his reaction I just, I want to know how to protect myself in case the need arisen and you or my brothers weren’t there to protect me. she said, this time keeping her eyes downcast, silent at she waited for his response.
