Time Spent Together

Kaela listened to all of her adoptive father's story as if it were a fantastical motion picture unfolding right before her very twinkly eyes. 

It wasn't often that she got to hear about her father's work directly from the source himself. Usually she was only hearing retellings from the cooks or maids.

It was cool to have a guardian who was an actual monster hunter and led one of the strongest forces in the multiverse.

However, she couldn't help but notice there was something about the story that was a little bit less grandiose compared to the rest of the ones she'd heard.

"…You got your butt beat."

Shin showed a smile that was not a smile as he accidentally snapped the wooden spoon his daughter had been using to eat with.

"…I most certainly did not." He defended.

"Did too."

"That dragon got lucky once! It will not happen again."

Kaela stared at her father with particularly big eyes and a scowl.

"…Papa is a bully."
