A head strong grandfather

(Wah~ he is really strong~ you're the best, my grandson!)

(Father!!! that's why I told you not to come! he isn't stable enough to talk to someone like you yet!!!)

(Eeeeh~ what an attitude towards your father, and if I'd waited, you would never decide that he is stable enough to talk to "someone like me"~ And, aren't YOU the one who becomes unstable when you talk with me?? Ka~hahaha!!!)

(...tsk!)

(Did you just click your tong at me~?!)

Roland Ignored the grumbling of his father, who always had only ''strength'' inside his head, and patted Liam trying to calm him down

(Liam? my lovely child, my sweet boy, I am fine, everything is fine you have to calm down so you wouldn't hurt yourself.)

Liam, whose eyes were turning white, and curly hair floating around, Looked at Roland as if he didn't understand why...

(Eh?? don't tell me he is doing all this without realizing it??! wow~)

The old man said so as if amused. And Roland thought that he really wanted to give his father a good punch.

When Liam sensed Roland's irritation another energy wave was sent toward his grandfather...

All Roland wanted at that moment was for the old man to shut up a little so he could calm down

At the moment Liam was almost hostile toward his grandfather, yet the old man wasn't angry, on the contrary, he was happy to experience his grandchild's strength...

Roland sighed helplessly,

He could feel that Liam wasn't able to think clearly since his powers weren't stable since he left the barrier. Maybe because his power was always connected to the barrier so when he left it was hard for his ability to stabilize. and the lock on his memories opening didn't help either.

Roland wanted Liam to not meet anyone new so he could start adapting and stabilizing himself a little bit more.

yet his father that muscle head had to come and ruin it.

He looked at Liam and said:

(Liam, good child, can you see your grandfather shivering?)

Liam couldn't clearly understand what Roland was talking about, but even so, he followed along with his eyes where Roland was pointing toward. And saw the old man's hand was terribly shaking and nodded his head with a look that was as if asking 'so what?'.

Roland explained: (maybe you don't feel it, but you are the one who is making him shake like that.)

(...eh?!)

looking at Liam's eyes returning from shining white to the beautiful blue sky. Roland sighed and felt relieved. But then he was shocked, as Liam said dejectedly:

(...did I hurt someone with my power just now?!) Liam said, eyes quivering with worry and fear, he said it in the tone of a child who realized doing something extremely bad.

(Eh?! wait, Liam! that's not why I told you that he was shaking...!) Roland said panicking. But when he looked at Liam he found the child looking back at him with dazed, sad eyes.

So he calmed himself and said: (Liam, my baby, what I'm afraid of, is you being hurt.)

(....?)

(If you used your power now you might hurt yourself, good boy, calm down and go to sleep, hmm?)

Liam dozed off and was about to fall asleep, but then as if still worried he turned his dazed eyes.

Liam gazed at the old man who was looking at him in silence for a while, worriedly and awkwardly. Roland realizing his gaze said, soothing:

(As for your grandpa, he is a strong man. He was not hurt, don't worry)

The old man chimed in:

(That is right my kind grandson, I am totally fine no need to worry!)

Roland looked at him as if shocked that he heard him saying something decent.

The old man was irritated by that look and was about to quarrel with his son as he usually does.

But looking at the frail sensitive child looking back at him, he didn't.

His grandson had an emotional chock from a small comment, so the old man closed his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
