~The Capital, 6115 a.d. Day 152~
Lied walked out of Desmond's house with Kalego in tow. The child had been excited to see Lied again when he first returned, but after a few days, he was already indifferent to Lied's presence. Lied held his hand to make sure he did not wander off and get lost.
Kalego swung his free arm as he walked, swinging his arms wide.
"Is there some special event today?" Lied asked him.
"Yes! Sports Day!" Kalego said excitedly. "Daddy said he was going to come to watch me."
"Right, your Dad's been pretty busy lately, huh?" Lied commented. "Lucky that he managed to get some time off."
"You coming to watch?" Kalego asked Lied.
"Depends," Lied shrugged. "If they'll let me in, I'll consider it."
"Mishter Rit don't like you," Kalego muttered.
"Who?" Lied demanded.
"Mishter Rit," Kalego repeated. "He teach the a b c's."
