Raven's body held tightly onto Emily, who barely reached his chin as she was sleeping soundly; her vines were sprawled and curled around, while the flowers were slowly fading back into her body as she snored like a little pig.
Brrrr! Brrr!
A phone was vibrating on the shelf; as Raven was half asleep, he picked it up and answered with a sleepy and husky voice.
"Hello~ Is my cute daughter alive? She didn't come home and forgot to tell Mommy where she was!"
"Hello?"
There was an awkward silence before Nenethrana spoke again.
"Uhm... Phone theft?"
"Mmmm, who is it? This cute voice sounds familiar..."
Because he was still in his manticore form, his voice was deeper and more magnetic; thus, Nene didn't know it was Raven until she heard the sound of her daughter's snoring in the background.
