The young girl’s affection for her father was obvious to him as she beamed up at him with her innocent smile. He couldn’t help but to offer her a playful nuzzle as he settled down in front of her. When the guilty look overcame her Rhyme was sure he was about to hear her say that she hadn’t been practising. Of course that also would have been a lot easier to swallow than the words she gave him after. She had gone up against a honey badger.
Rhyme felt his jaw drop but he tried to recover before Motif would grasp that he had been so taken aback. Even he would have given second thoughts about taking on one of those ruffians. He’d seen them take on full grown leopards with no remorse. For a moment he thanked the powers that be for sparing his daughter’s life.
”You know that was very dangerous of you right?” He asked her softly, wanting to gauge how much awareness she had before offering any kind of real scolding. ”How did you defend yourself?” She didn’t look like she had sustained any real injury either, so he wanted to know how well she knew her defenses or if she had just gotten lucky.
