Hope you don’t mind! :: 554
This is soooo boring! Ro exclaimed with a snarl, knocking over a few books from a coffee table in the hotel. Ro! Stop it, I’m try’in to read, the black and white hybrid whined back in response slamming his book of fairy tales shut and sliding off his chair to collect the scattered books. He gathered the old texts together only to find he couldn’t lift them all at once with his new optime arms. His parents had told him it would take time for the muscles to grow and for him to get used to this form, so Heiro insisted on not shifting back until he saw some progress. He let out a little annoyed sigh before he picked each book up one by one and set them back on the table. Why do you want read? You know Tasha’s smarter anyway...why even bother? The scarlet pup asked, an evil smirk forming on his dark face. S’not the point Ro...I ken...I can-tuh...’nounce....pro..nounce, he sighed, say, sum...werds, it was a struggle to get out it out, but the little prince was determined to start talking like the adults as soon as possible.
He was getting ready to crawl back up into his chair when he heard a voice call into the hotel. Curiosity flashed across his sapphire eyes. Tricks time, Ro said with a satisfied nod, but Heiro ignored him as he walked past his friend and heard the voice of his father booming from the opposite end of the hallway I’m in da...tuh...common room, he whispered to himself with some frustration. Those damn ‘th’ words, he just couldn’t get them right. Ro only looked amused at his anger before sliding up next to him. Sounds like Daddy has some visitors...why don’t we surprise them Hei? It’s been awhile since our last game... Ro’s voice took on a seductive tone, but today Heiro was able to wave it off. He was curious who would be coming to see his father, especially since Niro was still in bad shape. Not today Ro...sorry, he said over his shoulder as he sauntered off towards the hotel foyer where the mystery voice had come from.
Walking two legged had been odd, but after practicing for hours, the little hybrid was becoming more accustomed to the feeling. He cautiously peered out from the study or common room of the hotel with ice blue eyes. Ro was gone now, most likely miffed with him for turning down his offer, but the shadow pup had already rubbed Hei the wrong way today. As he looked out, he didn’t notice the adult male or the children, his eyes only locked on the feminine image of his father and his tiny heart began to beat almost audibly in his chest. He-hello? He began as his two legs propelled him forward and into the presence of his father’s dark furred copy. His eyes stared up at her with adoration and confusion. Daddy! He called, feeling utterly stupid and scared now as he stumbled back towards the study.
