Kiel had the team relaxed inside the villa. The Tale Bearers were briefed about what Cyrus spoke about. Ophir can understand how heavy it was. At times Ophir wanted to surrender and vanquish his gifted hearing but it does give him the blessing to hear.
Ophir held Urchin's tiny and chubby hands. Ophir wonders how amazing this kid would be in the future. His tiny body beholds an awesome gift. Ophir sat to study Urchin's face.
"Tell me Urchin if your tired and I will carry you." Ophir kindly offer.
Ophir and Urchin are currently hiking toward the hill. Urchin insisted to visit it even if the face end up on a cliff brushed by the salty water and circular wind.
Ophir needed to do his part. Kiel had designated the roles for the three days and 2 night vacation.
"Urchin, can you tell me what you see and think about this place?" Ophir nervously asked as he found his face getting slapped by the wind and droplets of rough waves.
"It's natural. I can hear the waves. I can watch how the wind rotates and I can stand here to listen with the dolphins. Can't you hear it Captain?" Urchin replied.
Ophir nod his head and replied.
"Yes I can but don't casually address me. We are friends remember."
Urchin clasp his hands and said.
"Urchin wishes that no matter what I say, I will be able to do my purpose as a child. Urchin don't want to rush in growing up." Urchin honestly muttered.
Ophir grinned at the kid and carried him. "Anything else that you want to wish about?" He inquired as he positioned him like a hero without cape.
"Urchin want to be friend with your future son or daughter." Urchin innocently beamed.
Ophir almost had him fall.
Ain needed to prepare the park in his villa. It was his favorite spot before. Kiel had him given the task to experience something realistic for a child since Urchin was always locked in the palace.
Ain clapped his hands and welcomed Urchin as he put on a rabbit mascot.
Urchin giggled when he saw what was Ain up to.
"Our little guest which one would you like to play?" Ain spoke gleefully.
"Urchin wants to play with you." He exclaimed happily.
The two of them ride all that was set up by Ain. The swing, slide and even the biking and arial float with balloons. Ain can't even stop his scream when Urchin suggestd that they should dive from mid air. Ain resize the soft pillow and had them fall like a dwarf. Urchin even invited Ain to carry the sand and they built a castle with it.
"Urchin enjoyed this today, elder Ain. I want to play more with you in the future. Let's build something like this in the future." Urchin genuinely spilled like a kid who enjoyed the sun for the first time.
By evening Lehi took the time to bath and tuck in Urchin as she tell a story and sang a lullaby.
"The white flower open it's petals by night. Sleep tight while the stars twinkle to watch you. Rest easy because heaven has something for you. Dream for tomorrow is another day. Sleep tight... Rest easy and Dream for tomorrow... Shhhh... LA LA LA. " Lehi trailed and ended as Urchin clapped.
"Aunt Lehi, when will you give me a playmate?" Urchin asked
Lehi tilt her head not really knowing what kid was trying to imply.
"You have us and the triplets. Your family." Lehi answered with unsure tone.
"No, I mean when will you have a child for me to play with. Urchin does not want to grow up this fast and you haven't still make a baby or a friend for me.."
Lehi chuckled nervously not knowing how to answer. Her laugh faded as she remain speechless.
"Urchin,.. I will try to talk this out with your uncle Ophir... okay? So, do you want another story?" Lehi tried to avert the topic.
"No.. Urchin wants to sleep. Uncle Nevi and Hexel said that we will got swimming and climbing trees tomorrow." The chubby boy yawned and shut his eyes.
"Then, I will wait for you to trully sleep. Good night little one." Lehi whispered.
Lehi resigned for the day and found her husband waiting for her. He had his back leaned on their headboard. Lehi's face begin to heat up when Urchin's question replayed in her mind. Lehi did not figure out how to open up the topic.
Lehi sat beside Ophir and asked.
"How was Urchin today on your end?" Lehi started.
"Well, as usual he is being to mature and he even asked if when will we give him a friend." Ophir spoke nonchalantly without blushing or being shy. Lehi almost wanted to raise her hand to salute him for being casual about the issue.
Lehi shyly twirled her finger and admitted
"He also asked me the same question and I was dumbfounded and speechless."
Ophir glanced at Lehi's side and replied sweetly and calmly.
"You don't have to be that pressured. We don't need to rush in that area. I mean we've been married for three years...Now that you mention it. We were married that long." Ophir stated and realised where Urchin was coming from.
Lehi nod her head and told him what Urchin said.
"Urchin said that he does not wish to grow up without a play mate or friend from us. What should we do?"
Ophir sweat dropped and looked at his wife.
"Are you seriously asking me that?"
Nevi and Hexel taught Urchin to climb the trees and hang on the vines like tarzan. While in the afternoon they had some diving activity. Urchin was happy to catch some fish and pick up some seashell and starfish. Kiel set up the night for a costume party with everyone. In a animal mascot. Ain dressed as a lion. Hexel put on a lizard. Nevi dressed himself as a hawk. Lehi and Ophir put on a bear custome while Kiel and Lila dressed as sea horse and octopus.
Urchin put on his panda garment and enjoyed his evening. Kiel genuinely thanked everyone as he watch his son with joy and pride.
