Her father sang with her and Siduri couldn't think of a happier moment in her short life. Confident and outwardly blustery though she was, her father's approval and love meant a lot to the girl. Having him hold her close and tell her that he was proud almost brought a tear to her eye. Almost.
Once the hug was finished, Gil licked a bit of blood from her cheek and Sid returned the favor, licking some of the snake's blood from her dad's maw. The girl's tail was like a propeller behind her, showing her happiness. She jumped forward towards the entrance of the hole and yelled, "Tally hoooooooo!" Then she bounded out and towards the water to wash up like dad wanted.
