The little growls that rose in her throat were about the cutest thing Kansas thought he had ever heard. With Savina's nose against her and Kansas' toe-tickling, the child burst into a fit of giggles that was every bit as endearing. As the two continued their attack on the brown pup half-hidden beneath the swirl of blankets, it was all he could to do keep from laughing aloud, too.
Unexpectedly, Mati wriggled free and leapt to her feet, nipping at Kansas' fingers with sharp teeth. His face twisted into something like horror. "Hey...ow!" for the child was now assaulting his face, her batting paw deftly hitting his cheek. But he was smiling, even as she bit his nose and left it with a harmless tinge of pain. "Yes, you're terrifying," he said in response to Savina's words as his blue eyes calmly watched Mati, rubbing his nose and grinning.
Kansas did felt a little of what Savina was feeling. And his was to a lesser degree only because he was more engrossed in play with the child, but he felt it. He wondered what it would be like to be a father, something he'd wondered before—just not as strongly as he did now, looking at the beautiful earth-toned child.
