The little child was fast becoming comfortable with her father, steadily but quickly nestling into his body, trying as hard as she could to not harm him in the process. A tiny burst of fear for her father caught in her throat as he explained that he couldn't walk, forgetting about the adventure she wanted planned. Daddy was hurt, would he be alright soon? The tiny tongue of the girl lashed out gently, apologetically for her blindness to his condition. "Daddy...Aw you gonna be okay soon?" Glancing up, the wolfdog puppy flopped her tail softly against the bed, hoping her favorite person in the world would be healthy soon. What would she do if he wasn't? How would the Takekuro puppy manage? Life without her father would be so horrible, too terrifying to think of...
The sandy-furred hybrid settled into his side, peering up curiously as Niro spoke, green eyes wide with wonder. A story? That was just as good as exploring, having the words take her to other worlds as they came out of the mouth of the speaker. Tash loved stories, and did she show that with her tail! "Yeah Daddy! Tell the story!" Tasha tried so desperately to keep her voice down, but Daddy-dearest was one of the best storytellers she knew. The Princess felt so lucky to live where they did, the Chien Hotel was just like a castle a real princess would live in, what stories would other individuals have? "Is the castle like this one? What's the woof's name?"
It had always been hard to pick a favorite between her family, having felt guilty for not being as easygoing with her mother as with Niro. Sure, Tash loved Amaranth, thinking her one of the most beautiful people she knew. But Dad had stories and birds, which seemed just the slightest more special.
So the girl lay down beside her dad, ears cocked to listen to the story.
