Fatherhood suited him more than he'd ever thought possible. Adria had come into their world like birdsong on a spring morning; beautiful and perfectly in tune with life. Nyxa had been away more lately, deeper than he could follow. While he missed her, he honored her commitment to their bargain with Brennen. In return, he minded their daughter, and encouraged her exploration of their island home.
He smiled in amusement as Adria's insistent voice reached him beneath the waves. With slow, strategic strokes, his limbs brought him within reach of the shallows of their cove. He moved cautiously between the rocks that dotted the sand, guided by the sound waves bouncing back to him. Adria called again, her form coming to him in rippled echoes. Hmmm...
The burly stallion cut a wide arc beneath the surface, until the shattered cliffs hung over him, cooling the water significantly. If he was right, his filly currently faced the water away from him. Surfacing with barely a scattering of droplets, he stalked forth into the powdery sand. With slow, predatory steps, he let the shifting air tell him where to go. It wasn't difficult, as Adria made a surprisingly large amount of noise just existing. Which was what today's lesson was meant to begin addressing. Stealth was an invaluable skill both in the water and on land.
At last he grew near enough to feel the small heat coming from the filly's skin as she glared over the foam. "No need to shout, Minnow. I'm right here." He spoke with his saltwater tone, laughing lightheartedly. If she had noticed his approach, that was fine, but he was hoping to begin today's lesson with a little demonstration.
