Anemone's gaze drifted shyly to her father with a secert smile splayed on her muzzle, she greeted him with a joyous knicker before she nuzzled him. He'd looked so, sorrowful and angry that she'd been very worried about him, she bumped her shoulder into his as the pair trotted along beside one another. "Come now father, it cant be all that bad..Really." She smiled at him, her eyes danced.
She spent most of her time these days in the dark shadow of Richard, the skinwalker held a firm grip over her and she didnt want to shake it. Though his words were never kind, she basked in them like a fat cat did the sun.
With a snort, he eyed his daughter slowly. She had her mothers eyes, it caused a fury to burn inside him but he buried it further within himself. No point in dwelling upon it, he could see the marks on her coat, but didnt ask. She seemed so happy, he hoped for her safety. "Its been awhile since I've seen your sister and mother, I do miss Raina very much. Though, I have a few things to say to your mother." He couldnt quiet hide the slight disappointment in his voice. Raina was the oldest of the pair, and so far had proven to be mute, but Benoni didnt see that as a handicap, not the way Kila did. And that, disappointed him greatly, it has caused Anemone to be slightly cast into the shadows..
He felt the burning pain of blame of that, his bright eyed daughter was not 2nd class to her sister, they were equals.
The pair paused, Anemone's widened at the sight of her mother and sister.."Mother! Raina!!" She called out with a smile. Though, her heart ached.

Anemone smiled at her mother, she nosed her cheek softly before her eyes moved to her sister, pain slowly built up in her chest. She shook her head, "Raina.." She said softly trotting towards her sister. "Sorry I have not visited, it seems I have no sense of direction..." She looked down at her hooves sheepishly. She turned her head and looked back to her mother, "Well enough I suppose, still here..." She turned her head back, slowly muttering, "..in a manner of speaking.." Her final words a hushed mutter.
His ears flickered slightly as he watched Anemone interact with her mother, and sister..His eyes rest on Raina sorrowfully, she'd grown into such a beautiful mare...and he'd missed it. Pain washed over his face, he failed Raina as he believed Kila had failed Anemome...Time he could never get back. "Kila..." He said moving forward, his long powerful strides eating away the distance between them, he nosed her cheek softly before making his way to his daughter, her silence and lack of movement told him, he had many sorries to share with her, hoping to regain her forgiveness.

With a sigh of relief Anemone nuzzled Raina's cheek happily, her wings fluttering at her side. "I've missed you sister dearest.." She smiled softly, her tropical blue eyes shimmered.
He stood off in the background now, it seemed that he wasnt needed here. It pained him, he closed his eyes and looked away. Was all really lost? This is how it was crumbling...He couldnt force Raina to notice him, or even be happy to see him. But, he was thrilled to see her.
"Yes, mother I am well enough." She moved to the side so that she stood between both mares, she looked at her sister, she held so much of her mother in her, and yet the traces of their father shined out just as strong. She nipped at her sisters mane, "Luckily you didnt get stuck with this.." she tossed her heavy locks. "Get caught on everything...even a cloud here and there." She laughed.
Benoni watched silently, he wouldnt interrupt them. Though he wondered if Kila could see the marks on Anemone like he did, he wondered why she let someone do that to her...and who did it. Finally, not being able to take it he moved towards Raina.."Princess.." He muttered softly as he came up slowly, his tail swaying out behind him.

He caught her look, his own brows arched up. He had no idea what was happening to Anemone, and wasnt sure how to ask her. He would never regret either of his daughters, they were the stars in his sky, the breath in his lungs these days. The reason he kept going it seemed. He nuzzled Raina in return, so happy to have her love. "How has my little princess been hmm?" he smiled at her.
Anemone bumped her shoulder into her mothers, leaving her sister to enjoy their fathers company. "Dont look like the world is ending mum.." She nipped at her mothers silken mane. She wasnt sure what was going on between her parents,but she wanted to make sure that her mother knew she was always there, no matter what. She caught the looks between her parents, she kept her mouth closed on the subject, Richard would have her hide on a tree if she spoke a word.
