"Daddy..... you're not still mad at me are you?" She didn't want him still angry at her that she'd been talking to Pyre against his wishes. She just wanted to be able to keep her friends.

"We'll talk in the morning, Atae." He murmured softly, giving her another gentle nudge. He could admit that he'd been a fool about things but that too could wait until they had all had more rest and a chance to thank the Spirits for sparing them. "I could never stay mad at you... Or your brother or your sister. Go comfort your friend."

She nodded and gave her daddy one more nuzzle before she turned to go back over to where Pyre was. Pausing a moment she eventually folded her legs and laied down near him.
"It's okay ... daddy just doesn't want you out there with how tired you look. And ... i'm happy to see you again." She gave him a soft smile.
She smiled at her mate once Atae had moved off. "I'm proud of you"

He shifted just enough to stretch his neck out so that he could rest his head against her. "You're a sight for sore eyes, you know... I didn't know what to think when your father said he was bringing me back here." He'd almost thought that the stallion would try to keep them separated, even after all that they'd gone through out there tonight.
He closed his eyes for a moment, opening them as he stepped closer to the mouth of the cave so that he could watch the storm approach. "I can't hold what he is against him; not when he nearly gave himself to protect me because I am the father of his friend." He glanced back over his shoulder at the two. "Perhaps flames can protect as much as they can harm..."

"I didn't think i'd get to see you again." She inched a bit closer ot him so he didn't have to stretch his neck so far. "Daddy told me not to ask you questions yet but ... you are alright? Really?"
she wouldn't be able to sleep at all if she did't know he was alright.
She smiled as she leaned her head against Draven's neck. "I told you that they aren't always bad. There are plants that only flourish after they have been scorched by fire you know." She'd heard of them before even if she'd never really stuck around to watch them. "Atae cares about him, and if he's gone out of his way to keep you safe too then i'd say he cares about her too. Enough to get himself hurt in her place even if you aren't there to do it"

"M'fine... Apparently unicorns are pretty useful with those things on their foreheads and all." He nodded slowly, giving her a gentle nuzzle as he did so before lipping at a strand of her mane. "Don't worry about me, Siren... Big bad coyotes don't scare me much."
He took a deep breath, releasing it slowly before turning his head to touch his nose to his mate's. "He is one difference... That thing out there tonight, whatever it was, is something we must all watch out for. It's dangerous... And it wields flames. One difference cannot make up for that, but it can help us against it and it can care for my daughter."

She frowned slightly and the idea of coyotes. "Just .... get some rest." She leaned her head against his. She wanted him to be better tomorrow. Not so tire looking, that worried her.
"You're learning." She was proud of him. At least even if he still thought fire was bad he knew that it wasn't always. He'd been shown that it could be good and that some times it could protect the things that he loved. "He'll take as good care of our daughter as you take of me, and i couldn't wish for anything better than you"

"Tryin' to... But someone keeps talking." He chuckled softly, giving one of her curls another light tug before settling down. Maybe things like this weren't so strange after all... Maybe, just maybe, they were nice.
"To keep up with our little herd? I have to... I want to be a good leader; a good father, more importantly. I want to protect what's mine... What's ours." He leaned down to nuzzle Kochu gently before lifting his head to look out the cave as the first rains of the storm fell in a sheet before them.
"Come on... Let's get some rest."
