Planned Collaborations

On the day of his departure, Ves kissed his children on the head one last time before saying goodbye to them for a time.

"Do you have to go yet again?"

"Why can't we come with you, papa?"

Ves chuckled as he rubbed Andraste's hair. "I am not going on a vacation this time. This is purely a business trip. The stuff I am scheduled to take part in are not particularly fun for you. It is better if you stay home and attend your school as usual. I don't want you to slip in your grades. It is really hard to catch up to your peers after you have fallen behind."

His wife snorted when he said that there would be no fun. She clearly held a different opinion on this matter.
