I sighed as I watched her go, knowing that it was going to be a long road to get her back on my side. But it was a road that I was willing to take, for her sake as well as my own. Now it was time to see how the daughter was doing, but I had a feeling she would be in a better mood than her mother.
One thing, Listenia didn't know that her mother and I were a thing, but she probably put enough clues together. I was sure that she would have heard about me and Nya's reunion.
I sighed, but I really didn't think that Listenia would care. I headed up the stairs and found her smiling and leaning back against her shop counter on the armor side. I knew that look; it was a satisfying one.
"What have you been up to?" I asked, and she smirked.
"Oh, nothing much," she said, and I raised an eyebrow. "I was just listening to you and Elfinia, and I assumed as much, but it gives me so much satisfaction that she can't accept you, even if she wants to!"
