daddy issues

Maera expected to nap at daddy's feet, but it seemed her father had a different idea -- she couldn't even bury her nose between his toes before having her head rattled. Somehow the sudden movement took away the babe's desire to sleep, her exhaustion was quickly forgotten and as quickly replaced by a craving to keep playing with dad. As her tiny head bobbed up and down she gave a tiny coo that could be interpreted as laughter.

Sadly the ride ended promptly, and the tiny Sveijarn being unsatisfied with just one go opened her mouth to give daddy a demanding squeak. But instead of getting his attention, she made Jökull appear out of nowhere. Her sister was received with a flick of her foot and another squeak this time hoping to call Njal and not make another sibling pop out next to her.

But once more her pleads were ignored, daddy had no intention of playing, he had something else in mind. A wet kiss was smeared across Maera's face. That was not what she wanted! She tried to backpedal out of his reach but his tongue was probably the size of her whole body so her escape plan was doomed from the start. Another lash of his tongue reached her face this time covering her minuscule nose for a frightening second.

There was no doubt Maera liked mommy's tender kisses better, though that did not mean she didn't appreciate her father's love. She gave a mewl in protest and squirmed wildly, if she could just tell him she wanted to play! Unfortunately the day she would begin to speak was still distant which meant she'd have to settle with unwanted baths all the time.
