That's right folks, it's now time to see how exactly Ten Years on the the Love BoatGood Ship LollipopGilligan's Island Stacy has gone by for your characters.
"She is, by Goliath's castle. I'll carry the food," Kang put his omnicomm away and stood up, finishing off his ale. "Don't expect her to leave them alone for very long at a time. I could barely get her to leave the house even for a couple of hours before you hatched."
"Oh, perhaps Goliath would like to join us." She rose, twisting lightly on her feet to look at him, smiling. "Papa, I am twenty, not a hatchling in need of constant attention. I will help mama look after the eggs, if she should want me to."
She had gone to war not three months past her tenth life-day with her father. She had learned to govern at his shoulder. It did not matter if Yana, Brevo and Grosk woke tomorrow from their sleep, or the three brothers and sisters she had never had the chance to meet, she was her father's eldest daughter. That fact would remain unchanged, even should her brothers and sister awake with the same years as she had.
Helping mama would be good practice, if she ever had a chance to have a clutch of her own.
Kang laughed and gave Kali a quick half-hug; he still didn't indulge in a lot of PDA, but living among humans and other races for so long had gotten him to loosen up a little bit. "I didn't say anything like that. I'm very well aware that you're an adult now." A snort, and he added, "You grew up on me too fast."
His wings rustled slightly, "I'll ask him, but more often than not lately, he's busy with other things." Goliath was rarely at his castle anymore, and far too focused on fighting the Ohm.
It would be strange, to encounter her siblings again with a new knowledge of human physical affection. But she returned the half hug, body leaning gracefully into her father's.
"All parents say that, Papa. I grew up at exactly proper speed." She smiled. "At least you can say, than even if I grew too fast, at least I grew up well."
She dipped her head in a nod. "It would be nice to offer the invitation, regardless."
"That you did," Kang smiled. He was very proud of Kali, and didn't bother trying to hide that fact from others. She was smart, damn good at archery and hand-to-hand, and most importantly, she was his daughter, something he once thought he'd never get the chance to have. "Go get whatever you want to drink, and I'll let Goliath know where we'll be if he wants to join us."
