"Yes, precisely write! I have been meaning to add a new chapter to my memoirs, and your missives I'm sure did not do your travels any justice."

He'd release her and straighten himself out with a few dad noises mixed in. "Please, tell me everything."
March 21, 2025 at 2:39 AM
First he'd learned she'd used the family name, and now she was offering to spend time with him. Halone was certainly blessing him this day. Quickly he'd wipe away the tears and give her a warm smile.

"I am not busy at all.--I would love to have you in my company. It has been some time."
March 21, 2025 at 2:30 AM
His tears would fall freely as he patted her back.

"You are most welcome, my child. Whenever you are in need of a guiding hand I will always lend it."
March 21, 2025 at 2:13 AM
after all. You are and always will be a Fortemps, just as you will always be my daughter."
March 21, 2025 at 1:53 AM
The former count knew he couldn't let go of her at this point lest she see the well of tears he had at his eyes. He tried to not let it show in his voice, an attempt exercised in futility.

"My dearest child... it warms my heart, truly. Please, use the name as often as you wish too, it is yours
March 21, 2025 at 1:53 AM
Once more she was held close in an embrace, maybe harder than he'd intended in his joy.

"Of course it is okay, T'asir! It is more than okay. You have no idea how happy I am to hear that you have adopted the family name."
March 21, 2025 at 1:27 AM
Quickly pulling back he'd look down at her amist with the start of tears. "I--What did you just say? Did I hear that correctly?"
March 20, 2025 at 2:56 AM
"I see... then it is one that sees value in your heart and soul than the decorations you've acquired in your journey..." He fully understood, but he still struggled against his parental instincts. Though his thought would be intercepted by his realization on what she'd just said. +
March 20, 2025 at 2:56 AM
radiant as the stars that grace the very heavens, and I would not have you think otherwise. And... it is my honest honor to be blessed to be your father."
March 20, 2025 at 2:03 AM
He was caught in a pickle with that regard. Wishing her luck in love while also wishing to interrogate the tyrant that would dare. Edmont would sigh and pull her into a hug.

"Any man would be a fool not to wish--beg to have you at their side. You have naught to fear, my child. You are as +
March 20, 2025 at 2:03 AM
If he could have knelt he would, but he would settle for leaning. “Scion or not, young lady, I would judge his merit with mine own eyes. What kind of father would I be if I did not do at least this much? I know it is not probably your wish, but I care for you. I only want the best for you, T’asir.”
March 20, 2025 at 1:06 AM
His eyes narrowed a hair as if he could judge anything by just a name alone. Though there were some things he could glean, “Ah… and elezen I take it much like myself judging by that name. And why would I not have reason to question this man’s adherence to my standards for you? I would hear them”
March 20, 2025 at 12:43 AM
The slipup was immediately caught by him, though he couldn't quite piece together who yet. "Uri? Why have you stopped, I wish to hear his name. Ah, but this does bring me to the importance of knowing your suitor. I would not have my daughter with one who does not treat her with deserved chivalry."
March 18, 2025 at 2:55 AM
The old man shook his head. "None of that, young lady. Fear is a natural response all are bound to at some time or another. There is naught to feel shame for. Even I feel fear now and then... moreso currently envisioning you giving your heart away to another."
March 18, 2025 at 2:46 AM
"If that is the case, then might I suggest waiting for a natural lull in your conversation? Allow yourselves time to speak freely and let the natural flow of conversation take you until there is naught but the air. After, seize the moment and speak on what you feel unabated."
March 18, 2025 at 2:36 AM
To be honest, he wasn't either. He'd look away to hide the lapse in his expertise as he quickly tried to find a solution. "
Ah--well... Why not try pure honesty? Lay your heart bear unto him?"
March 18, 2025 at 2:25 AM
up with me. Now, is there aught I can do to make the experience less unnerving for you?"
March 18, 2025 at 2:17 AM
Seeing that smile he'd breath the smallest sigh of relief, it would seem that he wasn't an *entire* failure at parenting.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, my dear. There is naught that pulls conversation as sharing a meal together. Trust me, it is the only time I can get your brothers to open +
March 18, 2025 at 2:17 AM
with a loving pat to the head. "Have faith in him, and have faith in yourself. I know that breaking this boundary is no easy task, but you will sound for it, I promise you."
March 18, 2025 at 2:03 AM
weighn high on your conscience. Do you truly think he who has garnered your affections would become a stranger to you for expressing your feelings? I would like to think not--rather I would hope not lest I need to pay him a visit and exchange words."

Jest aside, once more he'd comfort her +
March 18, 2025 at 2:03 AM
It was hard to watch her move to the scenario proffered, but he had to remain firm--at least until she got what she needed. Being a father was never easy.

"I say this as a man who has found himself in the path you walk a lifetime ago... I do not wish for you to go through this life with regret +
March 18, 2025 at 2:03 AM
unreturned, or keeping them and never knowing your answer?"
March 18, 2025 at 1:46 AM
stirrs them. Now, with that in mind, imagine that one disappearing from your life without pretense, words left unsaid." He would wait, watching her reaction before he spoke again, "I want you to weigh now with that feeling on your heart, which is worse: Revealing these feelings and having them +
March 18, 2025 at 1:46 AM
"Well, then you must consider your options, my dear. I would like you to bear with your father for just one moment and indulge him." Be fore he'd delve deeper he'd retrieve his cane from its rest at his desk before continuing.

"I want you to take those feelings within you and imagine he who +
March 18, 2025 at 1:46 AM
Gently his hand came to rest upon the miqote's head. "My child, I do believe you already have your answer, hmm? The question now being who is this suitor of yours?"
