Break Out

To everyone's surprise, Chimera was actually turning out to be a decent father. Who would have guessed? In his younger days, the boy had been selfish and arrogant. Well... not that he wasn't still arrogant and yes, he could be incredibly selfish, but that was beside the point. It wasn't all about him anymore and that was truly saying something. He was doing a far sight better than his own parents had done with himself and Siren. Chimera vowed that his children would never feel such neglect. Perhaps that was why he was so hard on his women. So adamant that they obey and worship him. An obedient woman wouldn't stray and abandon their children. ...Viper excluded.

Today, Dalila was on Chimera's agenda. He'd gotten the woman a little trinket. A thank you of sorts. Thank you for what? For bearing his child, of course. For keeping her word and staying his after her heat had subsided. With their relationship shifting from the hatred that they'd once felt for one another, he felt that she deserved something nice. Chimera was many things, but you couldn't say that he wasn't generous when it came to his women.

Darkness ate the land as had become the norm. The giant man made his way across the atrium and to the chambers that Siren and Dalila shared. His claws scraped across the wooden flooring as he entered the room to see the woman laying on a bed of furs, their daughter curled up at her belly. "Dalila," he purred softly so as not to wake the child. Gently, the brute placed a kiss upon the mottled fae's forehead before lowering himself to the furs as well. He placed himself on the opposite side so that both parents formed a protective, natural cocoon for their child. "I've brought you a gift." Taking Dalila's slender foreleg in one large paw, Chimera slid a shining bronze bangle up to the fae's elbow. Pale aquamarine stones were spaced evenly across. "It matched your eyes." He'd been drawn to it immediately. Would she like it though?
