Takes place 2-11-2018 One would never know just how excited a child could get till they met Selene. She'd been bouncing around like crazy ever since her mother had gotten her up that morning. Why? It had nothing to do with sugar, but everything to do with getting to spend the entire day with her father. Though she wasn't yet sure where all he was taking her, she honestly didn't care, it was the fact she got to have him all to herself. Her mother and father had arranged it since Shay needed to go pick up things for the house, herself and even Selene and Hiero had said he wasn't doing anything. So it made perfect sense the two of them get to spend time together just them. Selene had a feeling her mother knew were all her father was taking her, but she wasn't getting anything out of her and that slightly frustrated the little girl. Who'd eatten her breakfast in a flash, gotten cleaned up and dressed without being told and even made up her bed and picked up any toys and things she had on the floor. All within a matter of an hour since Shaydra awoken her. Of course, the moment he arrived, she didn't even bother letting her mother answer it, she was up off the couch and rushing to the door. Still very much bouncing off the walls much to the amusement of her mother, who just smiled and chuckled at her daughter. "DADDY!!!" "Selene..calm down your gonna wear yourself out before you two even leave. Geez child I don't even know I had that muh energy at your age. Now go get your coat and gloves." In a flash she was gone again leaving her mother standing there laughing, before coming back, hugging her mother and grabbing her fathers hand pulling him as much as a five year old could. "Daddy come on, come on we have to get going. Mom said you have a fun day planned, but won't tell me where all we are going so I want to go now and find out. Bye mom..." That last bit more of an after thought and she had a feeling her mother was shaking her head in amusement. |

There are certain greetings that will always enrich the heart. Certain ways of beginning that become milestones and formative tissue. Strengthening a connection or in the worse cases tearing them apart. A child’s honest open exuberation was one that even the Grinch could not deny. As Selene rushed him in that overly affectionate lope he simply crouched and braced for impact. That crashing all encompassing love was simply incomparable. His face split in two brightening at the sheer love and excitement Selene threw off like Mardi Gras beads. He hugged her to him rising and spinning into the room. His right foot lashing back to kick the door closed. Yes he was that protective that not even the breeze would get by him.
His face a bright smile he moved into the space a laugh in his voice. “Morning Princess!!!” His voice mimicking the excitement in hers. “Are you ready to tour the kingdom and allow our good folks to know they are safe and protected by us…” Lowering his voice to just above a whisper as he nuzzled her his goatee tickling her. “And we have a very busy fun adventure to boot.”

Selene was still bouncing around even after her father knelt down, even gigging a little more when he had her in his arms hugging her tightly. Nuzzling into his neck as he stood up, before they were spinning and she was laughing, even hearing her mother laughing as well and she couldn't help smiling with that big bright grin. It was a good combination of both her parents, those eyes sparkling gripping her father's neck and not wanting to let go. Giggling a little at his words and glanced over to her mother, seeing her just shaking her head in amusement no doubt. "Yes, yes, yes, can we go can we go." Giggling a little more before she kissed his cheek and hugged him again.
"Put your coat and gloves on than you can go on your adventure sweetheart. Just listen to your father alright. Now go on...you two go have fun."
When her mother kissed her cheek, Selene turned to give her mother one to her own cheek, wiggling so she could get down. Knowing her mother wouldn't he happy if she didn't get her coat and gloves on before going out in the cold. "Daddy down please so I can put my coat on. OOO tell me please....mommy won't tell me." Making the cutest little pout she could hoping it worked on her daddy since her mother seemed immune.

Hiero chuckled in that all too leonine way. "Of course we can the royal chariot awaits." He feinted back towards the door he’d just closed stopping after selling the idea he’d leave with her undressed for the Chicago weather. Stopping as her mother mentioned gloves coats and such as if the idea had just occurred to him.
Squeezing a little as he hugged her he whispered, "No I will never let you go. But I will loan you time to get dressed." Sitting her on her little feet he looked to Shaydra a brow raised as he noticed she wasn’t dressed for a job so it really was a day fixing the house and errands. He was honestly taken aback when she’d asked what he was up to today he was sure she’d lined up a job. She hadn’t and he had to admit he was thankful.
"Curfew," he asked by way of when she wanted Selene back and resting as the day he had planned could be truncated or elongated. He’d do business form his phone if it needed but otherwise he’d all but cleared his calendar. He almost missed the pot but winked that he’d seen it and they’d find enough mischief to make up for the need to dress warmly.

Those eyes of hers lit up when he mentioned royal chariot, feeling even more excited. Cause she actually thought they were gonna be doing things in an actually chariot. Giggling some when it seemed he was about to have them leave even after her mother mentioned the added pieces and kissed his cheek when he promised to never let her go. Before she moved to get her coat on, able to pretty much dress herself for the most part with all the layers. Pulling her little gloves on. Watching him and her mother a moment seeing her mothers shoulders raise and fall and wondered what that was about it.
"Hush Hiero get that smile off your face as for curfew, you have the day enjoy it. Unless she gets warn out or your do with her. She is quiet the handful, don't tell me I didn't warn you later. Serious just have fun when your both done and want to come home is fine. She'll probably be asleep for you before nine or maybe if your lucky ten."

He raised a brow at the hush comment feigning offense. “Why I do declare…” He said hamming it up for Selene who was focused on buttoning and rushing to get dressed for the weather. He almost felt bad about the driver outside but it was their job after all. Especially with all the added expense to have horses shipped from a specific breeder in Phoenix.
"Alright Princess scoot along and give your mama a good kiss bye we will not see her for the rest of the day unless maybe we might video chat for dinner." Moving with her he’d wait until kisses and higs were done and lift her into his arms. Yes she could walk but he enjoyed the casual loving touch of her weight in his arms.

Selene looked up hearing her father and giggled a little, watching her mother just shake her head and smack his arm. Before turning back to her coat and finally got it closed, wiggling her fingers to make sure the gloves were on right. His words had her moving to give her mother a big kiss and hug, giggling when her mother nuzzled and nipped her neck. Though gave her a kiss back and she smiled. Waving only to squeal when she got lifted up and hugged her arms around his neck. "Daddy...I can walk I'm a big girl." Sure she was saying all of this, but she was smiling from ear to ear giving one last wave to her mother before they closed the door.

“Right… so we’ll be back around nine or so. We’ll have fun storming the castles.” He tossed off as he moved to the door. Closing it behind him as the wind picked up some.
"Of course you can and of course you are. But just because you can do a thing doesn’t mean you have to." He said into her as he continued carrying her out the door waiting for her to look around them to see what waited. He was really overdoing things but he couldn’t help himself. They didn’t have any pink so he went with the next best thing an all white horse and carriage. It would take them to the Shedd where he had booked the Atrium Café privately for them to warm themselves and plan their day of fish stalking.
He moved to the carriage and opened the door for her sitting her inside climbing in himself and pulled her into his lap wrapping a blanket around her. The canopy there mainly to stop rain not for real warmth though it was noticeably so. The wind in Chicago was no joke.

Selene was smiling from ear to ear, even as they made it outside into the wind, snuggling into her father a little more. Sure she was bundled up, but he was giving off some nice heat that she wanted herself. Nodding some at his words, giggling against his neck, before she finally lifted her head, allowing him to carrying her without fussing again. Not that she really minded. Though he'd hear the sudden inhale of her soft little breaths when those bright eyes landed on the horse drawn carriage. "Daddy!! Look at the horse carriage. It's so beautiful!!" Unable to really bounce to much in his arms, but she was clearly shocked and in awe.
Seeing them heading towards it had her bouncing and excited even more and she squealed, the smile growing on her face as he set her inside. Looking around, those little lips pursed as she tried to take everything in better. "Daddy...this is so beautiful, I love horses. Thank you." Finally bouncing a little in his lap once he picked her back up and pulled her into it, snuggling with him and the blanket he pulled around them. Leaning back against him. "So are we riding in the carriage today? We have to tell mommy I bet she hasn't taken a carriage ride before."

"I’m glad you like it princess." He said securing her for the ride which meant he held her tight enough so that she wouldn’t even if the carriage tumbled accidentally go flying from him.
He thought of all the things he would love to show Selene and teach her. Her excitement was infectious and made most things new for him. "We are taking the carriage to our first stop. After we’ll be in a car. There is so much to see and do here there is never a day where you can’t discover a new corner of the kingdom and find a new favorite place. Your mommy never struck me as the carriage sort I think she would like to ride horses if she could." The thought occurred to him that initially when they’d first begun and through the bulk of their time that he and Shaydra were so busy fighting and healing from fighting the world that they’d had little time to do all those sorts of small but meaningful things together. It made him feel like he was a cad or maybe it was his old age catching up to him. "I know you might be a little big for it but would you like to hear a story while the city passes."
