She did.
She didn't say she wasn't going to call. It wasn't an emergency, so she hesitates to call twice in a row.
She'll wait an hour, thinking that they're just out right now!
After a few minutes of silence, she figured as mucn.
So she'll just slide a plate of cookies under the door, wrapped. Up so they don't go bad. A little note is attached, that says ' Hope you had a good day.'
And then the bun went to go watch TV.
❝ I'd give a lot to hear her say it. ❞
But she wrapped her arms around his waist.
Fuck him and his uncanny ability to be a good friend in spite of his reputation.
❝ But Why?? ❞
Taking a deep breath and burying her face in her hands. Before doing the unthinkable and burying her face against his fluffy chest.
❝ I'm not ready for this.. ❞
He shrugged .
He was just spitballing .
His old man put him out at a young age , so he wouldn't really know all too much about what having a parent was like .
But he DID know what being a big brother was like .
`` But Foxy sent her
to you right ? Meant she trusts you . ``
❝ It's not that I don't want to spend time with her. I don't think she wants to do so with me. And I know we both know we hated it when our parents forced us to do stuff..❞
⠀
Even if he wasn't really much help in this field , he gave his opinion as best as he was able .
`` Maybe ... you should try to
spend time with her ? Find
out the shit she likes to do ?
What kind of music she likes ?
Food she likes to eat ? ``
❝ She's.. Alright. Not sure.. What she's feeling. She's not talking to me. ❞
She seems indifferent to her daughter's indifference, at least on the surface. That isn't really what bothers her.
Well , shit .
`` And how is this Grown
up little firefly of yours ?
What's she like ? ``
Kaedynn didn't really know
much about parenthood ,, his
own parents were shitty , and he hasn't seen them in years .
So he didn't really know how to help her .
⠀
❝ Yep! ❞
Eryn, still as spry as she was before her daughter was born, simply shrugged.
❝ Yeah. It's pretty heavy. Not hide nor hair from her mother, though. Would have liked to see her in all honesty. ❞
Eryn loves her daughter, there's no mistake about it.
⠀
. . . . . . . .
He was flabbergasted .
For once , Kaedynn had
nothing to say . An unheard
of miracle depending on who
one asked .
The now 40 year old
Cinderace sitting up
and cracking his shoulders .
`` That's .... some heavy shit . ``
❝ Really? You should have invited me.
Although if I'd have been there.. Probably woulda missed my daughter coming here. ❞
Breaking the eye contact again. Her body temperature rises, but then comes down.
⠀
⠀
`` Around . Helpin`
another Choom run
her bar . She let's me
perform . ``
Shrugs .
`` Just got back in town
yesterday . ``
He has ways of fixing that .
⠀
`` Would I really be
trying this hard if I
didn't ?
Sides , the schmuck
that runs this dump is
a Choom of mine ..
It'd suck for everyone . ``
It was that raw , devil-may-care rockerboy attitude of his . none could resist .
❝ You don't really care. You just don't want the gym burning down. ❞
Still avoiding eye contact, but not actively trying to get away from him. A soft red color tints her red cheeks, he's getting to her.
And of course , the giant Cinderace helps himself to her lap , trapping her .
`` Hey now , what's
got you so fussy ? You
can tell your ol` pal , Kaedynn . ``
