The meeting ends and Vadim lingers for only a moment, but when his daughter seems to be preoccupied with others he turns and he walks away. He is confident that she will find him when she is finished with whatever it is she is doing, so he and Vlasi move through the forest. The pair are silent, their minds both moving in a thousand different directions at once as the pair try to figure out a way to heal the filly's legs. Neither of them can think of a solution and the pair of them grow frustrated with their incompetence. Vadim begins to wonder why it was Shadow that died and not him. Surely she would do a better job at raising their daughter than he is. Surely, she would not have allowed the girl to be injured further. Surely she would know what to do, where to turn, and how to work impossible miracles.

But she is gone and he is left to care for their child to the best of his limited abilities.

"Hi daddy..."

He doesn't realize that he's stopped and is standing staring at the ground until he hears her voice. It makes him lift his head and he turns toward her and as he watches her it is like a knife in his heart. How could he not have protected her better? How could he have let so much harm come to her in such a short amount of time? How could she not hate him for not being better for her? For the both of them? His head lifts as she comes closer and she tucks herself against his chest. Her wings, so delicate and pristine, wrap around his silver hide and he sighs softly. He lowers his head, pulls his daughter tighter against his chest and he closes his eyes as he holds her right where she is.

He wishes she would stay this small for longer. He wishes that she would stop growing so fast because he knows he's missed so much in his absence and its something that he cannot forgive himself for, but how could he not search for a way to make her better? His perfect, beautiful baby girl was broken and he wanted to fix her and he couldn't and he was missing her growing up and she didn't hate him for it. How he loved her.

"What are you doing?"

"Wishing you wouldn't grow up so fast." He murmurs his answer against the stark whiteness of his daughter's hair. Wishing your mother was still here to watch you. But he bites it back and sighs again, his hold on his baby girl tightening. "I missed you."
