The mattress halted once he took a second to look into her puppy eyes, his upper-body lifting itself up to give into her wishes. “Alright, alright. I’ll get up.” He laughed, tossing his legs over the side of the bed to meet the wooden floor. He was by no means awake yet, but he knew by the time he got outside that he would be ready.

Getting prepared to go out and do anything was not a complicated task for the Iop, his cape being the only thing he never slept in. After grabbing said article, the ginger made his way into the bathroom to wash his face, his eyes occasionally looking down at the girl who seemed to trail behind him. Placing his hands into the water and splashing the water up onto his face, he spoke to his new pupil. “We’re gonna have to get you comfortable with a weapon first.”

Elely shadowed her father’s every move as he got up, staring up at him and gripping at the edge of the sink, standing on her tiptoes to rest her chin on the counter as she stared up at him. Adults woke up so slowly, but she knew there was no point in rushing him.

She did need a weapon, didn’t she? Well if that was the case, then- “Ooh! Ooh! I want Rubi!” she said, bouncing on her tiptoes as she beamed up at him.

Pinpin remained frozen as the Cra appeared, his expression of fear turning into a nervous smile. Once he had realized he had been caught, he set both feet back on the floor and closed most the distance between them. “I could’ve swore I heard goddess Cra singing in our house.” He replied with a more relaxed smirk, in order to compliment her ability.

Eva’s face was flushed as her husband crossed the distance over to her with that look. The only time she would sing in front of others was just after she’d had the twins. She would lull them to sleep that way, though she was convinced her voice couldn’t be the nicest to listen to. What he said caught her off guard, though. Was he teasing her? That wasn’t usually his style, and when he did, it was usually with more of a silly grin on his face than that gentle expression of his. In fact, the whole thing would have made her positively melt if not for her embarrassment.

“I-I, uh. D-don’t be silly, Pinpin.” she said, looking anywhere but at him as she tried to dismiss the compliment.

I know I’ve been neglecting my inbox. I’ve been a little on edge emotionally, but I will get to it as soon as I feel  up to it. Thank you all again for how patient you are.

Pinpin didn’t doubt the tiny Iop’s words as he went to bed that night, knowing that he would almost certainly wake up to a fiery ball of excitement the next morning. She wasn’t the only one who was energetic about the training session, her father was too, despite his feelings being accompanied by a dash of caution.

As expected, the father arose from his slumber with his daughter atop his chest, groaning as his eyes struggled to leave their closed state. “Gaaaahhh… just five more minutes, Elely.” He mumbled as he tossed and turned to get in a more comfortable position. As he did so, he used his arm to grab ahold of the girl and pull her down beside him, hugging her closely with a goofy smile.

Elely was caught, for a moment, between snuggling up with her dad or insisting on starting their training. On any other morning, she would be more than content to cling to him and let him sleep into the day, but today was special!

It didn’t take much thought for training to come out on top. The little Iop wriggled in her father’s grip. “Nnnoooo, Daddy, come on!” she insisted, tugging at his arm. “Come on, come on! You promised!” she gave him a wide-eyed pout, looking thoroughly betrayed.

Pinpin was careful as he made his way closer and closer to the mellifluous voice, thinking that since any singing in the house was normally unheard of, the voice probably wouldn’t want anyone to hear. 

The melodious words lead him towards bathroom door, his feet still tip-toeing in order to keep the noise to a minimum. Well, at least that’s what he had planned, before a sudden creak in the somewhat unsteady hardwood floor caused his muscles to tense up and his movement to halt. He stood completely still for a few moments, trying not to make any more noise in case the singer heard his initial mistake.

Evangelyne’s singing had stopped shortly after the creak in the floor. Unluckily enough for the Iop, Cras did have extraordinary hearing, in addition to their incredible eyesight. It was only a small moment more before a face would peek around the doorframe and into the hall, to find Tristepin standing there.

The Cra blushed as she realized he had probably heard her just now, and she gave a nervous chuckle before she steeped out of the bathroom. “Er, you’re up early.” she commented, somewhat embarrassed.

“I’m sure you’ll do great.” The Iop spoke softly as he returned the warm embrace while using his only free hand to support her. Sometimes just by looking at her he could see how blessed he was to have a daughter like her, and this time was no exception. She loved her family, she was proud of her heritage, her spirit was burning with a fiery passion… it was all a father could ask for. “What do you say we start tomorrow morning? You think you could get up early enough?” He asked with a smile, not truly realizing that it was he that would have a hard time waking up from his often deep slumber.

Elely eventually let go of her dad to stand in front of him. She got that sassy little look on her face again that she could only have gotten from her mother, and she met her father’s eyes as she stretched her arms behind her head and nodded confidently.

“Early enough to be your alarm clock, you mean.” she corrected.

She was disappointed that they couldn’t start today, but she supposed it was already almost dinner time. Flopin was helping Mommy with dinner, and once they had eaten, it would be bed time. She was convinced that they could train the moment she woke her dad up, though, so she didn’t mind the wait too much.

And so the next morning, the Ginger Warrior was woken with a stuffed Rubilax to his face, only a short time after the sun had risen.

“Hey, Mr. fat and lazy, up up!” Elely cheered, all in good fun of course. Even if she seemed to mean it sometimes.

The sudden strike took Goultard by surprise, his pale face being met with the stern fist of a seemingly upset Cra, one that he knew rather well due to her relation with his former student. Being a Iop of his strength and experience, the blow didn’t seem to do much other than confuse the man, wondering what he had done to anger her. “Was it something I said?”

Evangelyne took great effort to hide the fact that punching him had actually hurt her fist, maybe more than it had hurt his face. That fact only frustrated her further, though, and she held a glare on the Iop. “You think!?” she demanded, before realizing that no, he probably didn’t. He probably thought even less than Tristepin did, but that was no excuse. This man needed to get it through his big head that some of what he had to say was insulting, even if Tristepin had too much respect for him to realize it.

“Listen. I don’t care if you’re Pinpin’s master, a god, or a mullfrog. I will not put up with you insulting any part of our family. Got it?” She made sure to make those words very clear.

Receiving a swift and powerful blow to the gut, Pinpin’s eyes involuntarily slammed shut, his nerves taking in all the initial pain at once. Despite using her bow so often on the battlefield, her upper-body strength was no joke, which left even the legendary ginger warrior falling to his knees. “Wha- what was that for?!” He struggled to ask, gasping for air as he tried to pick himself up off the floor below him.

“Because obviously that last fight of yours didn’t knock enough sense into you!” Evangelyne replied, her tone still sharper than her arrows. After the Iop had run off into danger, surely thinking he should keep his wife safe, the Cra was not finding it easy to calm her temper. Now that he was safe and relatively unharmed, all her fear for him had no place to go but to turn into anger at his actions. “I know you need to be a hero sometimes, but that!? Ugh!”

She turned away from him to pace for a second, furious and having no luck cooling down. How could he think it was acceptable to run off alone like that!? She should have been there to help, to make sure nothing went wrong! But instead she was just stuck at home, worrying all day long, and now she was so mad, she could hit him! Wait, she already had. She turned toward him and did it again, this time hitting his shoulder, but with far less force than before. And now he could see the tears that had started collecting at the edges of her eyes. “You idiot, I was scared!”

Can I just talk about this baby boy and his expressions? He is so quiet and sensitive, and sometimes he just breaks my heart, like even though he’s reserved, you can tell there’s so much going on in his head and I just love him okay??

Ended up playing the Iop child more often than not

But who can resist this child!?

Watching his tiny princess flutter with excitement was one of the most heartwarming things for the Iop, the way his eyes moved showed that he couldn’t be more proud of her. “Don’t forget about me when you get all famous.” He teased, giving off a few chuckles as she fought the seemingly formidable invisible opponent. 

His smile flashed away momentarily with his daughter’s next question, as he recognized of the reality of his princess working to fight in battles that were nearly as dangerous as some of his biggest battles of the past. He wanted nothing more than for her to be safe, being the father he was, but the remembrance of her previously flaunted potential brought a return to his happier expression. He had to believe in her; she could someday save lives, or even the entire world. “Sure, I still gotta teach you the rest of what I know anyways.”

Despite not really taking much time to observe things most of the time, Elely was a very perceptive little Iop, and she definitely noticed the hesitation in her father’s expression. It worried her for a minute. What could upset him about training her? But the expression faded with as little explanation as it had appeared, and when he agreed, she beamed at him.

Not quite as energetic as she might have been about it if she hadn’t noticed that look he’d had, she hopped up and gave her dad a tight hug, one little hand clinging to the cape he kept draped over one shoulder.

“Thank you, Daddy! I promise I’ll do my very best!”

The ginger watched affectionately as she found her way onto the ground beside him, his mischievous smile turning more genuine. Once he heard the Iop ask her question, he didn’t even need a second to ponder his answer, “I don’t think, Elely. I know.” His hand softly combed the top of her hair whilst he lowered himself onto his knee to look her in the eyes, “You’ll make for one of the best heroes in the World of Twelve with a spirit like your’s.”

The little Iop hung on her Father’s words, smiling with pride as he answered and giving an excited gasp at hearing just what she hoped for. Elely bounced on her heels, as if her tiny body couldn’t quite contain all this enthusiasm. “Yeah!” she agreed. “I’m gonna do that! I’m gonna be strong and brave and cool, just like you!” She could still remember watching as he was fighting to save the world, on an island that floated up in the stars! It was the most amazing thing she’d ever seen, and she wanted a battle like that someday. Or maybe like the huge battle in her mom’s story book where he defeated the terrible robot, Razortime, and got a statue built of him! “You’ll see. Someday, I’m gonna save the whole world!” And that was about where her little brain got off track. She turned away from him with a grin on her face, punching the air like there was an enemy there. “I’m gonna fight a big, bad monster like this! And THIS!” she threw a big kick into the air and landed on her bottom, and then giggled up at him again. “Can I train with you?” she added, as if it were all part of the same conversation.

This is why I don’t usually write replies at work. Look at all the icky typos.

Pinpin jumped in surprise as he took a moment to figure out what his little Iop was doing, his almost worried expression turning into that of an amused one once he had. “I won’t go down that easily!” He yelled with a sly smirk on his face as his arm reached above to grab and pull her down close to him, the girl now being held against his chest.

“Countless warriors have fallen by my hand, and you’re next!” He tightened his grip carefully around her rather light and small frame, rubbing his head against her’s playfully as he growled much like a rabid boowolf would.

In the short time she was in the air, the little girl fought her father’s grip, flailing her arms until she was held close. She gave a squeal, wiggling away under his arm. “Nnnoooo!!” she giggled, holding tight to his arm with her little hands once she’d freed herself, as if she could keep him from grabbing ahold of her again.

“Hey, hey! I gotta know something!” Elely insisted, patting at his arm energetically. “Do you think me I can be a big hero just like you,, huh Daddy?” the little girl’s eyes sparkled as she asked this. It was, after all, the dream of most any Iop to do even half the things that the great Tristepin Percedal had accomplished.

A small Iop tore through the house, down the hall, into the living room, and vaulted over the couch, landing on her father’s intact left shoulder, her little hands buried in his thick hair. “Daddy!!” Elely yelled, even though she was right next to his pointy ears. “I got you! I got youuu!”

[by-cra-blog]

The house certainly wasn't on the list, heck the perps meant to egg Yugo's home instead! But they weren't the brightest bulbs alive. Oh well. The house was not only egged and covered with toilet paper, but a stampede of Gobballs were lead into the house and they run amok! The perps, a peculiar pack of 'penguins', ran-er waddled away from the scene of the crime.

“Well. Whatever I thought I was expecting, this wasn’t it.”

Evangelyne spent the next several hours cleaning up the mess. Flopin climbed onto the roof to clean up the eggs and paper, and Elely leaped onto the back of a Gobball with a yell and rode it out of the house, the others following. Who knows if she ever got back off. Maybe she joined the herd. Then Flopin would finally have his own room. Eva was just happy to have the mess cleaned up, and she went to find Tristepin, who was still sleeping through the whole thing. She woke him up and then had hot sex with her Iop man. The end.
