"Big brother! Over here!" Although Edelweiss' cheery voice should've struck joy inside me, I couldn't help but pour my attention towards the man, instead.
No doubt, he must be Firiell's father. He was obviously human, judging by his not-so-pointy ears and his different way of dressing compared to the elves. Furthermore, those striking sky blue eyes looked exactly just like Firiell's.
"Edelweiss." Ioriell replied concisely, bearing a tiny smile on his face. His body tensed up upon seeing the redheaded man, hardening the fact that he still wasn't comfortable being around a human.
The owner of the name that he had just called came running over to him, carrying a small, brown pouch with lace details on it.
"Here, big brother! I've finished baking the cookies!" Edelweiss said as she excitedly handed the pouch over to Ioriell, "it took me longer than usual, because I tried adding a new, extra ingredient today!"
