The Fallen Angel and the Lion

[Ricia]

"You could imagine the people I trust is limited when it comes with who i'm protecting." Tannis said, "And it is easier to do things as my true form.. It is what people expect."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I do see your point, but slap a dress on her and brush her hair... she'd be so different nobody would see it,"

 

[Ricia]

"You think I can actually do that?" Tannis asked raising his eyebrow, "You estimate my suede on her.."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Really a dress would be that hard?" Soki asked

 

[Ricia]

"It took me a year to get her to wear clothing in the first place..." Tannis told Soki.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Soki actually laughed at that "Really now?"

 

[Ricia]

"Yes.. her first bath was actually really adorable." Tannis said smiling fondly. "She was wearing rags, but she wouldn't wear anything elses.. even as she started to grow out of her clothing. "

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Really now? that odd but... oddly cute as well," Soki said

 

[Ricia]

Tannis let out a light sigh, "I think i'll go back to her.. we'll see you in the morning."

 

[InsaneTruth]

'Alright," Soki said waving lightly

 

[Ricia]

Tannis nodded before leaving up to his room again to Shania.

 

[InsaneTruth]

she was asleep in bed still curled up hugging a pillow.

 

[Ricia]

Tannis climbed in and hugged her tightly now that he was more assured the home was secure.

 

[InsaneTruth]

she snuggled into him and sighed lightly

 

[Ricia]

Tannis closed his eyes and went to sleep with Shania as well. He didn't think he'd wake till she did.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania woke and licked Tannis's cheek lightly still half asleep

 

[Ricia]

Tannis groaned. Was she trying to groom him? Tannis patted the top of her head to try and get her to stop.

 

[InsaneTruth]

She did stop but she clung to him tighter

 

[Ricia]

"Are you hungry?" Tannis asked, "how are you feeling?" He was whispering quietly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I;m warmer then I've been in a while," Shania said

 

[Ricia]

Tannis smiled and hugged her closer, "I'm glad. Food?" He asked the girl.

 

[InsaneTruth]

She shook her head no "Tea?" she asked

 

[Ricia]

"I think we can get some... But you should eat too." Tanns said, "It's almost been a full day." Tannis sat up and stretched.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'm not hungry though," Shania complained.

 

[Ricia]

"I know." Tannis said before picking Shania up and holding her. Her sword often made it awkward to hold her, but he carried her out of the room yawning. "But I want you to try."
