Melor hops out of bed, ready for breakfast.
As per the usual, Tobias sleeps in. Melor only shakes his head at his younger brother; He's always the one hanging behind in bed, on the couch, in the back of the gym when they have PE...
Whatever. More waffles for me!
The bus honks noisily outside. Tobias shoots out of bed.
"Wait for me!"
And of course, Melor must wait.
This seems familiar, Taras thinks dryly. He sometimes wonders if it would have been cheaper to just buy a new dishwasher instead of the materials it takes to fix it. But he's practically rebuilt it enough for it to be a new dishwasher, no?
"...no, that's not how tectonic plates work..."
Nozomi looks to the side, only barely concealing her surprise. Melor? Talking to someone? A friend?
Finally!
"...no, I won't do your homework for you, Lourdes..."
Baby steps...
There have been a lot of those lately. Before he became a father, Taras never really understood the pride parents could feel for something as small as walking, talking, using the potty correctly...
But now he understands.
And now he can feel the pride parents feel as they watch their children grow up.
AN: I am so far behind where I am in game. Melor just aged up to young adult in my game file, and Marisol and Xander are well into their teen stage...
Oh, Melor turned out cute! He looks like a good mix of his parents.
ReplyDeleteSorry for not commenting earlier on this! I hadn't realized you posted. Did you mention it in the RLC thread and I just overlooked it?
I forgot to link my chapters in the thread! And considering it'll be a while before I might be able to play the Zorins again, I decided to leave it be.
DeleteMelor is cute! He gets a lot of his face from Nozomi, but has a bit of Taras here and there.
