Aberdeen City, Twenty-one years prior
Garan crossed his arms and watched in beffudlement as his little angel walked around, dragging several ducklings with a rope.
She was adorable, but he also felt a little pity for the ducklings being dragged.
"What…are you doing Althea?" He asked, leaning down so they were in eye level. "Are you sure you're not hurting them?"
"No, no, Garan." Althea corrected him 'patiently', looking like a cute little adult. "This rope is used to guide them!"
"You don't know. They're so stupid." Her cute eyebrows furrowed and her chubby cheeks puffed as she spoke. "They would jump out to the road if I didn't do it!"
She then looked at him with all the seriousness she could muster. "I save them, like a hero!"
Garan held back his smile, patting her head. "Yes, yes, ropes saved their lives." He chuckled, "My Althea is amazing."
