It was almost quiet except for the forest sounds and the muffled sniffles of his sad and crying daughter. The sunlight flickered around them as a breeze gently meandered by fluttering the tree leaves that was over them. It felt like the forest around them figured that with dad there to help the child, that everything would be ok, as if dad can fix anything.
Other than his query, Temo stayed quiet and let Dalgina answer in her own time. He was in no hurry and it would do her good to cry until she got it all out of her system instead of bottling it up inside. He decided that this was one of those times that just being there was more important than getting her to talk about something that she was balking at telling.
He had seen her fussing with something while looking into the water and wondered if that might have been part of the problem. Then it was out, in a sob broken voice, Dalgina had answered his question. As thoughts milled around his head as he pondered what to say, Temo's eyes followed the flower as it slowly drifted down the stream lazily spinning in the current. You are pretty, he said, hoping this would be the right thing to say, That flower also knew you are pretty, even prettier than it. That is why it would not stay in your hair, it did not want to be out shown.
