A Departure?

"Daddy!" 

Excitedly, Courtney wormed her way out of Mira's grasp and ran all the way over to Abaddon. 

The fact that she had just clearly heard him threaten to rip someone's head off didn't really mean anything to her.

All she cared about was the fact that she hadn't seen her dad in almost a full 24 hours and now he was entering the garden with three of her mothers in tow. 

And Abaddon, murderous star-eating beast that he was, was a husband and father before anything else. 

So with one of his cute kids running towards him with her arms outstretched, naturally he forgot all about Gulban and the irritation he felt.

Instead, he just dropped to one knee while wearing a massive smile and let his daughter embrace him. 

"Aww, theres's my- Guh!"

Courtney clasped her father on the cheeks with her small hands and started pulling for dear life.
