Morningside Cuesta daddy lessons

How about @Grayday?

There were certain things which Khoe had learned as a child that would stick with her forever. Whether it be how to sit or how to eat, how to address her superiors and her inferiors alike, certain lessons had managed to stick with her even years after leaving her parents' home. It only occurred to her how much of a soldier she had become while she sat splayed out beside her lavender patch. Once she noticed how she had been postured, Khoe shot up and shook away the dirt that had rubbed its way onto her bottom, then she considered how her father might have responded if he'd seen her legs spread and eyes shut.

Then she thought about what he would have said if he knew she was carrying Grayday's litter.

The thought of Khoe's father in hysterics made her utter a slight giggle for he had always been a serious, hard-faced man. She loved him and all that he'd done for her, but he was nothing like what a father should have been. Khoe stepped into the patch, despite the nearly overwhelming ache in her side, and began sniffing the ground for weeds and mites, carefully nipping and pulling them from the ground while she had the silence to occupy her mind.
