"Ah've always had style. Ya just too busy stairn at girls ta notice." He stuck his head up and snickered. He knew his father was teasing him but he wasn't about to let that get to him. "Gonna be yer downfall ya know. All those girls taking up yer time."
He shook is head when he was asked about his siblings. He hadn't seen them in a while. "Last i saw 'Stila she was running around by'er self and i ain't seen Beau in a while." His brother was probably perfectly fine but his sister could have gotten into trouble at this rate. He snorted as Atsila started to walk away. "No but you aren't going to get away once they're out either. They're ours and we're going to raise them together. She'd get it though her head eventually. No way in hell was he going to let her get away and let someone else call him a bad father.
He gave her a bit of space before he followed after her into the trees.

"If you think Ah got time for anythin' other than what Ah've already got you must'a got hit hard on that head o' yours." He nickered as he stepped towards his son, giving his shoulder a nudge.
"Girls ain't nothin' but trouble." Rogue would probably try to kick him if she heard him say that. "Aft'all... Look'it your sistah." Atsila wasn't nearly as bad as some of the mares that he'd come across in his time... She was just spirited and seemed to enjoy keeping company with stallions he didn't approve of.
She slowed down a bit once she was convinced that she'd lost him, heading towards the river. She could get a drink there and calm down a bit. She could...
Run right into her father and brother. She froze just inside the line of trees, trying hard not to utter one of the words that Remy had been yelled at by Kitara for saying in front of them when they were younger. She could retreat... But the sound of movement behind her thwarted that idea. "Stupid stallions..." She muttered beneath her breath.

"Well we're all grow up now so ya could make more time. Though ya go runnin off on Rogue an i'm gonna snatch'er from ya." He didn't really think Remy would run off on anyone. He'd been a good father and seemed to try really hard. It would be weird to think of his father running away from anything.
"She still talkin ta that one stallion?" Remy had told her not to talk to him but that just seemed to make her do it more.
"Atsila .... stop this." She needed to stop acting like a, well a spoiled child, so they could work this out. He shook his head as he nosed a branch aside. He could see her and the tree line from where he was and wondered why she'd stopped.

"Y'ain't all grown up. Ah've got three more o' you now." He snorted, stomping at the riverbank as if that action alone could simply dismiss Sedi's words. "Ah'd like ta see you try." He wasn't going anywhere. He had everything that he could possibly want now; a large family, dear friends, and a mare who seemed to love him despite how stupid he could be.
His nostrils flared as an oddly familiar scent caught him by suprise. He turned his head, brows lofting as he caught sight of his daughter. "Speak o'tha devil. Ah dunno. Why don't you ask, Sedi?"
Damn. Damn, damn, damn. As if it wasn't bad enough that she had seen them it seemed as if they had seen her. Great, just great.
She put on her biggest smile, trying her best to keep bitterness out of it as she trotted towards her father and brother. "Look who Ah found. Perfect timin'. Ah've been tryin' t'get Nuka t'leave me alone an' he won't." That smile instantly turned pout. "How'm Ah supposed ta listen ta you if he won't leave me 'lone, Da?"

"Jus ya wait." He snorted and turned his head when his father mentioned his sister. Well there she was and it seemed like she had finally come to her senses.
"See sis, shoulda listened ta us sooner den he wouldn't be followin ya 'round."
He groaned inwardly as he saw Remy and one of the other now grown up foals. Great, just great. First he had to deal with her being crazy and now he was going to have to deal with them.
"Why don't you tell them the reason why i won't leave you alone before you start begging for help?" He stopped a few lengths behind her and looked at her before looking to her father.

"Ah'm with Sedi on this'un. Shoulda been listenin' t'me from the start." His gaze drifted over his daughter for a moment. Something wasn't right but he couldn't quite put his hoof on it. "Ah know trouble when Ah see it. Ah told you t'stay away from him for a reason."
"But... Da..." She attempted to give him her most pathetic 'daddy's girl' look before she turned on Nuka, glare nearly enough to burn a hole right through him. "Ah said Ah didn't want nothin' t'do with you. Go away."
That was enough to make him start second and triple guessing some things. He stepped up beside his daughter, putting himself between she and Nuka for the moment. "Someone gonna tell Remy what's goin' on or Ah gotta find out th'hard way?"

"Ya better not'ave hurt my sistah." He stepped up beside his father and glared at Nuka. He'd kick the hell out of the other stallion if he'd done anything to Astila after they'd told him to get lost.
He snorted and laughed slightly. "I'm surprised Remy. Don't recognize that form of crabbyness? I'd think you'd be used to it after going though it twice." He stood his ground. He wasn't the one being stupid. He was trying to make sure he took care of his family and she was being an child.
"If she wanted me to leave her alone she shouldn't be carrying my foals then. I'd say the two are a little contradictory."

His expression went completely blank, Nuka's words sinking past the layers of fatherly defense. His brow furrowed as he turned to glare at his daughter. "He tellin' tha truth, 'Sila?"
If looks could kill Nuka would be dead. Worse than dead; he'd be poisoned and then incinerated. There wouldn't be anything left of him. Stupid stallion... Getting her in trouble with her father.
She couldn't tell her father the same things that she'd already told Nuka... That the foals, if she was indeed carrying them, might not be his. Her father would just go hunt down Guilian and insist that both stallions remained where he could keep a watchful eye on them until the foals arrived and they could see who they looked like. That would be terrible and she'd never get away then...
She let her head hang, taking a step closer to her father. "Ah don't believe 'im."

He scuffed one hoof against the dirt and shook his head. "You should know i'm telling the truth Remy. You can smell it on her." The dark blue stallion had two families of his own so he should be able to see it for the truth. There really wasn't any way around it at this point.
Atsila and he had done more than they should have and now they were going to have to be adults about it no matter what she wanted. She wouldn't loose anything from the expierence if only she'd understand that.

"There only one way t'go 'bout this." He looked at his daughter for a moment before turning his gaze on Nuka. "You ain't goin' nowhere. Ah don't care what, or who, you was doin' b'fore."
When her father had first started talking she'd had hope... Hope that maybe, just maybe, he'd be on her side and he'd tell Nuka to go away. Far, far away. That hope vanished the moment Remy continued. "But..."
No, her father had been right. There was only one way to go about this and it wasn't his way. She began to back away slowly. If she could just make it to the woods she could find somewhere to hide until this was all over with.

He took a few steps to the side so as his sister backed away her rump his his side. "Dah said no one's anywhere and dat means you too." He nudged his sister with his nose. She wasn't gonna be the stupid one. That was his job after all.
"I had no intention of going anywhere. I was trying to make her understand that since she's the one trying to get away." His tail flicked behind him as he looked at Remy.
"I have ever intention of making sure those foals know and have both their parents."

"You ain't supposed ta be on his side, Sedi. You supposed t'be on mine." She huffed, shaking her head. This wasn't right. It wasn't fair. They couldn't keep her where she didn't want to be forever.
"Atsila." He turned, glaring at his daughter. He wasn't upset that she was pregnant. It happened when one wasn't careful, letting their bodies run away without getting their mind's approval. The two young adults standing before him were proof of that, as was their brother that he would have to hunt down after this. Things happened and, whether you were expecting them or not, you had to take responsibility. "Ah don't care what you feel for Nuka. You might not like 'im. Ah know Ah don't like him all that much... But he's right. You stuck with the choices you make."

"I ain't on his side. I on Dah's side." He snorted. "Dah says ya gotta stay here so ya gotta." He'd learned already that if you were going to do something you had to deal with that happened after words. Now it was her turn.
"You wanted me to treat you like an adult, we'll i'm trying but your not deserving it right now." He took a few steps toward her. "Listen to your father and me. Please"

She was caught somewhere between the verge of tears and the sort of indignant rage that only a mare cornered by three stallions could feel. She hated all of them... Each and every one of them. Her father, Sedi and especially Nuka. This was entirely his fault.
She turned her head quickly as Nuka moved closer to her, nipping hard at the air inches away from him. "Ah have t'stay but that don't mean Ah have t'let you near me. Ah'm goin' back t'tha lake."
Listening to his daughter he almost wanted to laugh. He might not particularly care for Nuka or the way he went about things... But if any stallion was going to be stuck with his daughter when she was acting like this he was at least glad it was a stubborn jackass like Nuka.
He turned towards his son for a moment. "Sedi, y'wanna make sure she actually makes it to th'lake? Since you wasn't 'round ta keep an eye on her Ah think y'can at least do that while Ah talk with Nuka."

He had to stop himself from laughing. Why in the world had he wanted to have a mare if they acted like this? "Yea .. I'll make sure she get back." He nudged his sister toward the lake.
"Come on .... we can go talk ta Rogue. I'm sure she got something ta say about boys after dealing with Dah."
He pulled his nose back quickly and blinked at her. Damn mares. Last she could do is be nice to him. After all she was going to be the mother of his foals.
Once she and Sedi were out of ear shot he tsked and looked at Remy. "If you're going to call me stupid again you can just leave it unsaid."
