Watch your step

Ulric didn’t hide his pride as she told him about her victories against Roman, she could feel the pride in his words and in his gaze as he chuckled and praised her. She was training and learning from it, so much so she had bested Roman twice. Lillith grinned, always knowing he was simply proud enough of her for pulling through her childhood illness. When he’d almost lost her she knew amounting to anything would have made him proud, but excelling despite herself was everything.

She barely saw the way his eyes lit in surprise as she leaned forward to hug him, but she knew it was there. Lillith didn’t feel like she gave him enough gratitude sometimes. While she didn’t bargain with her affection she felt like her father needed to feel her love. Especially right now when he had mentioned how much he missed her. She knew he was far from lonely or unbusy, but he deserved more of her time and appreciation.

The emotion in his voice was palpable, and as she heard the tears Lil squeezed his neck, burying her face into his fur. She loved her dad, he was the one who was always there for her. Through every low and high she’d had up until Roman found her in the gardens. Though she would have hugged him all day Lillith had big plans, and as she pulled away Ulric knew that. He spoke softly, his love plain on his features.

”Just try not to worry too much, okay?” She chuckled softly, grabbing up her finished lunch sack. She was eager to be out, looking for her shooting star with Roman. Lil reached up and pressed her nose to his cheek and with a bright grin and flick of her tail Lillith was off on the next adventure with her boy.
