'Only one returned from the desert,' Theo thought, saddened by the fact that very few noticed, and then heard someone moving, looking up, depression momentarily moved to the back of his mind.
Except for the fact he loved his daughter dearly and would know her anywhere was the only way he was able to recognize her now. With a soft snort, he looked around, and then followed her, head low.
He had originally been going to visit Windspirit, but he had a feeling that Ice needed him more. "Ice, she'll come back," he stated softly, waiting to see how she would react.

Dry-ice flicked her ear back and stopped. She didn't turn when she spoke. "You don't know that. My best friend could be dead now." She let her blue orbs fall to look at the ground. Her head hung low and her tail was dropped down, not even held high anymore. She didn't know what to do now that her best friend was out of her life. She sighed and let her thinning sides heave up and then down. [/size]

Theo held back a sigh. "I felt that way about one of my friend's. He came back. Badly burned from the desert, and injured, but he came back. He's being taken care of, but she'll be back, don't you worry. Well, you're right, I can't guarantee it.
You can only hope, and eat, so when she comes back, because she is too strong willed to die in my opinion, you don't look half dead. And I can't keep colts off you the entire time," he stated, gently nuzzling her neck, trying to coax her into eating, into taking care of herself.

::So Take This Space Between Us::
Dry-ice heard her father's words and didn't understand the last part, then she understood. She was to be a mare in a few weeks and he wanted her to be ready for a mate. She shook her head and took a step away from him, her blue eyes looking into his one good eye.
"I don't want to mate Father. I just want Kalypso to come home to stay with me." She told him as she took another step back away from him, and then she turned around and cantered away from the older gray stallion. She just wanted to be alone.

Theo turned and watched her run away from him before sighing, going to find Windspirit. She could talk to their daughter, and he could state what he was trying to tell his daughter, just in case she misunderstood.
Quite a few stallions, and colts her age, had noticed how pretty she was, before Kal left, though now they were still finding her beautiful, but that was beside the point. Trotting around, he began looking for his love, and hoping not to get sidetracked by any mares.
Luck was on his side, since he managed to find Windspirit before any other mares.

The warm breeze settled into the grove that was Windspirit's. She had chosen the grove where she and Theo had mated for Momentum, way before that. She had chosen it because the breeze was nice here and there was some open space for her, and her new son, to roam around, with-out leaving the grove.
The pretty gray female turned to see her white stallion standing there. She smiled and dipped her head, inviting him into her home. She walked so they met half-way and she nuzzled his neck. She took a few steps back before she looked at him and she sighed. "Is something wrong?" She asked him. She could tell by the look on his face something was wrong. [/size]

"Ice isn't taking care of herself, and in a few weeks, I'm going to be chasing stallions away from her because I think she misunderstood what I was telling her. Oh well.
But, I know what it is like, when your best friend, the one who stood by you through thick and thin isn't around...in danger. Not a pleasant time, but Kal will come back.
So, I might be missing during the time Ice first becomes a mare because I'll be keeping the stallions at bay until Kal comes back and Ice is more...lucid.
Not that she can't take care of herself, but a depressed mare...she's not in a lucid mind set right now, and I'm worried," Theo explained, not leaving anything out.
It never did any good to lie.

Windspirit listened to her lover's words and her heart dropped for him. He loved Dry-ice so much and she knew he would give his life for her, and Ice. She pushed her head into his neck and took a deep breath. His sent drove her wild, but this time it calmed her.
"I know Kalypso will return to us, and with a child, I'm sure of it. But Ice, I'm not sure she wants to become a mother. Her spirit is too wild for that. I know she won't want to have to stay in one place because of a child....Are you worried that some stallion will rape our daughter?" She asked in a worried tone as she pulled away from Theo. [/size]

Theo flinched a little at that and responded, "No, because they know I'll kill them if they tried that with any mare. They know I don't tolerate that, don't worry. But to make sure she isn't bugged by them, I'll just chase them off. Beauty of being the one in charge, unofficially, of the stallions, at times."
He hoped his words calmed her, and gently nuzzled her neck. "I'm sorry that I worried you about that. I wouldn't even let that happen to Viper, as much as I dislike her."

Dry-ice walked toward the lake, her head was held a little higher than before, but her heart was still down. Her blue eyes searched around the lake and she only saw one other equine standing around, but she didn't mind too much, for she was on the other side.
She walked toward the lake and let her long legs step into the cool water before she sucked in a breath and walked in and could see the mud coming off her legs and she smiled a little. It was like she saw her problems washing away from her. [/size]

Gentle, Theo nuzzled Windspirit along her chest, girth, and withers, being sweet, loving. In fact, he acted more like he was trying to court her then he was already her lover, and he looked at her. "I'm very sorry for worrying you Windspirt," he stated, softly, apologetically.
What more could he say? That he wouldn't ever say stuff like that again? He didn't have a very good brain-mouth filter, and he went back to trying to just comfort her.

Windspirit smiled as she felt Theo's warm touch all over her body. She swished her dark colored tail around her and just let herself seep into the warm feeling of being loved. She heard his words as he groomed her and she smiled a little and said, "No, it's okay. I know you'll protect our daughter." [/size]

Theo nodded a little against her body, and agreed with her softly. He just did that to cease an further worry in her mind. Rubbing his head against her side gently, he loved to love her. He found that it was enjoyable, and he gently began to groom her along her back.
He loved these times.

Windspirit began to groom her lover's back carefully. She could feel his strong muscles in his back and she could see how he took care of the young colt. His pelt just seemed to say it all. As she worked with his back she began to think of her oldest foal, Dry-ice, and how she was going to become a mare in a few days. It just blew her mind.
The dark colored colt opened his eyes and looked around for his mother. He stood up quickly when he didn't see her, and fear rushed through his body. He trotted out of his sleeping area that his mother had made him, and came into view of the grooming pair. He sighed when he saw his mother and then trotted over to her. "You scared me mother. I didn't know where you were." He told her before he felt her warm muzzle on his neck. [/size]

Theo paused in his grooming to look down at Momentum, and stated, "Sorry for keeping her from you."
He reached over, and gently nuzzled his son, then pulled back again, gently grooming Windspirit. He really didn't want to have to stop, but he would if she asked him to.
He was just enjoying himself a lot.
