Love me like you do

It didn't take long for his youngest boy to come barreling towards him, bringing a sea of mud with him. His eyes squinted as the damp earth was tossed around -- mostly onto his once white coat. He opened his mouth to tell Merlin to stop wiggling, when a big glob of mud was flung into his maw from his sons tail. Gagging at the wad of mud coating his tongue, he turned his head and dropped the earth back to the ground, his nose wrinkling up in disgust. His tongue ran though his half closed jaws, trying to scrap the mud off of it. Turning back to Merlin, one last ball of mud smacked him right between his eyes. They quickly shut, a sigh leaving his maw. Shaking himself to get rid of most of his new brown coat, he opened his eyes slowly and fixed Merlin a glare. Until a bubble of laughter left his maw, shaking his head back and forth again as the mud slowly slipped down his features, meeting his brown diamond. "Apparently getting my coat dyed brown," he chuckled, eying his equally dirty son. "The real reason is that I wanted to spend some time with you, kiddo. What do you want to do? Besides paint your fathers coat." He said with another laugh, taking a seat in the mud. He was already coated, no need to try and avoid it now.
