"De see! Dee!" Sky asked and bounced on her dad's lap. She was pulling on one of his dreads. He was still shocked at the filled script delivered by the masterful chief who was setting down his LAZER in its original black cylindrical form. It was set aside back in its original white box.
"Deee! Did you see?" the excitable toddler asked again. This time she yanked the dark brown dread really hard, and the warrior winced. Usually, he would have snapped at the person who would have touched his braid let alone yanked at it. But as soon as his eyes fell on the grinning girl in his arms, all of the irritation he felt melted away and he smiled at her without thinking about it.
