Tidas had gone and finished up the last few things that he and Skye were supposed to do, then went straight outside to spend time with Zazzy. When he walked out of the bunker door, he was taken aback by what he saw..
At least three dozen Highlanders, and a couple dozen of the Alconian soldiers were either watching, or playing ball with Zazzy as the the goalie. It was close to the ancient version of soccer, but a bit rougher. The only reason that Tidas didn't call off the game right then and there was because the teams had mixed players.
When Zazzy saw her father from across the muddy field, she immediately got up. Her teammates hollered as the opposing team took the opportunity to score. Zazzy cooed "sorry", shrugged, then trotted over to her father.
Tidas smiled as the cocky thought crossed his mind; 'I'm still her favorite! ...At least one of my lasses feels that way..'
