There was no other feeling than comfort she felt. With her adoptive father walking gallantly in front, like a walking wall, very big and strong, there is nothing she afraid of.

Even though her father was looking very big, there is more very bigger bigger thing her eyes catch. That is a mountain far from here. Soaring up into the sky. That's look quite close to her, but she knows that is not, because the mountain is very big so she is just can see it well.

"The world is very big, right?"

While her human child regret her failure, Europa raise her hand and put it to her child's cheeks as she calmed her down.

"You need to go slower, my dear. Don't worry, the name is given directly by The Life so it's quite hard to spell"

Aleyn almost dropped a drop of tears due to failure. But her mother gently stroking her cheeks as she talk.

"Even your father really bit his tongue when he first tried it"

"I'm not"

As his existence mentioned, Roland quickly respond to the mentioner words.

"That rendezvous was really beautiful and funny at the same time"

Europa muttered as she look back at their first encounter. Put her hand at her cheeeks as it begin to make her feel good.

But that beautiful moment only passed for a moment. The moment broke when Aleyn quietly getting interested in the story.

"You curious?"

"You must spell your mother correctly first"

Aleyn quite disappointed at that point. Still she must do that first, correctly this time.

"Mommy will guide you, so you have to do your best, okay"

"Mommy?"

"Yes?"

"Aa, I see"

Europa put her hand on her chin and nodded as she know what she is doing. And that words of understand made Roland worried.

"Yes, this is your mommy and daddy"

"Mommy and daddy?"

"Yes, my dear. That's the same as father and mother but in a more intimate call"

"Hoo"

Aleyn ran close behind his father and said.

"I'm sorry. If you didn't want it, I won't do that again"

She said while bowing her face in guilty. Her dragon mother even shocked when, for the first time she talked smoothly. Unfortinately, she talked like that in guilty way.

"Roland~ you made your cute daughter cry here"

After she apologizing Aleyn just stood still. Her dragon mother patting her head while confincing her father to calm her down.

Roland stopped his feet and stratching his head before she walk closer to his daughter.

After they stood face to face, Roland put his big hand in his daughter bowing head. Pat it gently and said.

"I'm sorry, but that's okay. I just have to get used to it"

He stopped patting and smiled. His daughter lift up her head and see her father didn't mad at her.

As the respond, Aleyn smiled to. The smiled is so pure and she even narrowing her eyes as she do that.

"Aaaaaa, you are even cuter when you call me mommy!"

Europa getting more excited and pinch her daughter even hard.

"Hey, stop that, you hurt her"

"Roland, honey"

"Ha?"

"I once said don't lift me up like a cat while in this tiny form, right"

"O siet – Aw!"

Europa whips Roland's face with her tail. Roland at first want to release Europa before she do that, but it was to late. Now there is two red scars on his face.

Europa gently fly to her daughter shoulder and perched like she did before.

"You did that twice and twice the punishment" she said as seen Roland in cruel way.

Roland can't argue with that because they already have an approval on lifting Europa in her tiny dragon form. He can only stroke his cheeks where is in pain.
