a collection of father-daughter olly-agott thoughts i have a lot of very big emotions about
— olruggio helping agott take care of her hair on days she's too tired to do all the product work by herself. also olruggio being REALLY good at cutting curly hair as a result because he helps keep agott's hair at a comfortable length for her.
— agott is the only girl in the atelier who isn't even a little afraid of the "all who knock will be cursed" door because she knows it was added mostly to tease qifrey
— late nights where agott can't sleep and olruggio emerges for food that turns into easy cooking (and occasional baking) stints late at night. sometimes qifrey catches them (and joins in). sometimes, it's only her and olly, and he always tucks her back into bed when they're done and she's all sleepy, no matter how many times she fusses about being "too old" for it.
— sometimes, if agott is really restless, she'll sneak out to olruggio's room and sit with him while he works. sometimes she falls asleep in his hammock and wakes up to him wrapped around her like a protective blanket. other times she wakes up, halfway to her room, to the sound of olly and qifrey's hushed whispering as she's carried back to bed. and sometimes,
— as a distraction, olruggio once taught agott how to ballroom dance, when she was earlier into her apprentice-hood and still caught up on what an arklaum daughter "should" be. now, sometimes, when she's all jittery and can't get her thoughts in order and can't focus on her spells, agott will seek olruggio out, and let him twirl her around while they dance over the glowpath stones in his room.
she's an excellent dancer by the time she's 15. even when she's up to olruggio's shoulder, he still lets her stand on his feet when they dance together, if she's tired or doesn't want to move too much.
— when they hug, agott tucks her head under olruggio's chin and nuzzles into his shoulder. he runs a hand over her head and down to her shoulders and rubs lines back and forth. smile.
