Like father like daughter

As the girl pulls back the purple cloth to reveal the armor hidden underneath, Seere cannot help but feel… special. The craftmanship is stunning but, more than that, she will get to match her father! Tail wags fast as she looks at it with awe, happiness sparkling in her mismatched eyes as her heart is full. Joy laces her words, causing her voice to raise as she talks to her father and her small body wiggles with excitement. Posing the question to try it on, she quickly jumps to paws and begins to the process of donning it when he confirms she can. Thankfully, her father steps forward to help, showing her the easiest to undo the buckles.

With his guidance, Seere slips the chest piece over her head and fastens the buckles on either side. Standing still, she allows her father to test the fit, her cheer-fileld eyes never leaving him as he works. When he speaks, the girl cannot stand still any longer and she bounces from one side to the other. Happily, she barks, “Yeah! I’m going to be the best and sharpest looking Daimyo since… you!” Giggles bubble out as her body wiggles and, without warning, she launches her small body at her father, aiming to press herself into the hollow space between his chest and arm.

For a moment, she is still as he eyes close and she hugs her father tightly. For once, her voice is soft and Seere says, “Thank you dad. For… everything.” It feels like years since they had laid on the beach of their home island, the young girl giving voice to her insecurities about being so small. Now, not even two, she is Daimyo alongside her father and Kitsune. It feels surreal and wonderful and she wonders what she did right to get here. A small, content sigh rolls past her lips.
