he had been out in the gardens seeing to a rose bush, a new strain he was trying, it seemed like the colours of the sunset... so when he looked up to see the young woman coming over he was surprised indeed, sure they had talked a bit after she left but... suddenly she was home?   of course he hurried over and took note of the... young goat...? with her “Sweetheart! welcome home!” he cant help but smile brightly as he then crouched down to the child’s hight “and who is this little one....?”

“….No thanks.”

Is it a bribe..? Vaguely. Phena didn’t really feel bad about potentially spoiling Annas dinner. She was a child, let her have parfaits if she wanted them. They almost brought the chocolate one over instead of the fruit.

“It’s....a tail.” There’s no point lying. She saw it--held it in her hands, even.

with a chuckle he sits down on the floor “alright my little bird, come on over and Papa will!”

Taffy always felt bad for how little he could see his daughter, but this really was for the best. At least this way he knew she was safe, and that she was being watched over by adults that knew what they were doing with a girl her age. Away from God’s eyes.
