Hey Ya!

He had held his tiny Asla beneath the stars, and when he had awoken, she was gone. He had not intended to sleep, but peace had found him regardless. The knowledge that his stealthy little daughter had sneaked away without waking him only made him chuckle beneath his breath. She was going to be a terror, he just knew it.

He started his rounds of patrols, going about his duties, and at the point where he would normally hunt for Zee’s breakfast, he would instead go to fetch Asla. He had promised her hunting lessons after all.

He found her in the sand, teasing crabs and looking rather put out. “Little Star-flower” he called out to her, standing on the grasses just beyond the beach as he sought out her attention.
