Astarot let out a small sight, before moving his tail slightly. Allowing his tail tip to just slightly rest on her shoulder, being careful not to put too much weight on the gesture. Silently asking his daughter to stay still, upon noticing the pain she probably felt in the movement." That isn't what I mean, Nez, we already know that you were taken, and it wasn't your fault that it happened, what I meant was that we thought we'd never see you again, especially with the injuries you came in with", he said softly.

[~NatureSword~]

Nez silently looked up at her father when his tail rested gently on her shoulder before she laid still. She frowned a little as she listened to him, realizing that he didn't know the full story,"B-But it was my fault....... I-I went over the wall......" She whispered softly.

Astarot sighed a tiny bit, before sitting down near the edge of the water. His wings resting at his sides, as he watched her carefully." Yes, that you did, but you wouldn't have done so unless you had a reason to, although, once you've recovered, you'll of course be grounded for disobeying the rules", he replied.

[~NatureSword~]

Nez slightly tensed before looking up at him again,"B-But..... G-Grounded?" She echoed softly, not believing what she was hearing.

[wolfpack12]

Astarot sighed a little. It wasn't something he wanted to do, considering that he knew it wasn't all her fault. But with everything that happened, and how many nearly lost their lies last night. One must learn the consequences of their actions." If we were allowed to get away with our actions every time, then we would not know right from wrong, while it wasn't your fault that you got kidnapped, you still chose to the go over the wall, one must always learn the consequences of their actions, for it doesn't just affect them, but everyone around them, many of our civilians could of died last night if we were not warned in time, you could of died if we had not been informed of your capture", he replied. He then briefly closed his head, and let out a deep breath of air. Balancing the responsibilities of being both a father and a king, was no easy task. He then opened one eye, and looked down at Nez. Before lowering his head down to her height, and shifted his wings a little." However, when your time has been lifted, I suggest you take someone with you the next time you leave the castle, and avoid talking to those who you either do not know or seem shifty, you must understand that yesterday has been an important lesson to be learned from, as well as that you will only be grounded for a few weeks", he added.

Nezula frowned as she listened. He was right. He was right about everything. If only she had thought smarter at the time, everything could have been avoided. Her capture, the battle, everything. Nez lowered her gaze a little,"I-I understand....." She said softly.

[wolfpack12]

Astarot sighed once more, before moving one of his wings. So that it rested just above her back, barely touching her scales in case it caused her pain." The most important thing right now, is that your safe and that your alive, that is the only important thing to me at this moment, if you had been killed, I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself for letting it happen or not reaching you in time", he murmured gently.

[~NatureSword~]

Nezula lifted her gaze to look at Astarot again, taking in his every word before a little smile came with tiny tears in her eyes,"Dad......" She whispered softly. She knew she shouldn't move, but just this once, she didn't want to listen and move through the pain. She had too. Very slowly Nez moved her front claws, placing them flat on the ground beneath. She took a few seconds to catch her breath before forcing herself to push herself up, her chest heaving and her nostrils flaring a little. Nez moved a claws out of the water and just onto the edge before finding herself leaning against her father,"I-I love you..... Dad....." She whispered.

Astarot looked down at her, and lowered his head to gently nuzzle her own. Smiling just a tiny bit, as he listened to her words. While also being at the ready to support her, in case she collapsed back to the ground." I love you too, Nezula, never forget that", he replied.

[~NatureSword~]

Nezula smiled softly as she listened to him, nodding a little after he nuzzled her. She leaned her head against him a little, struggling to stay up before she started to feel her legs give way.
