Redhawk Caldera i thought i saw you at the bus stop

The woman's jab made Reyes glance at her quickly, and the look in his eye was almost dangerous.

He didn't appreciate the way this practical stranger was trying to dictate their own access to his daughter; it was something that would need correcting, but not right then and there. Not while Sorana was present — maybe if he could get Teya's attention for longer than a few minutes.

Reyes looked to where his daughter had dashed, spotting her tail. Bridget played it up like a woman would, and Reyes remained silent, as that felt safer for everyone. It was a good thing Sorana was distracted; she didn't need to see this side of her father. At least he was cognizant of that much.

Sorana! Where are you? Did you go back to bed already? He tried not to let the annoyance flavor his tone, because he wasn't trying to direct that at his daughter. Reyes didn't really know how to play this kind of game, exactly, but he was trying. He wanted to at least out-do Bridget.
