in which Callum tries not to be too obnoxious when he winds up tagging along for Sarai's first date
or
when you're 13 and your dad takes you and your little friend to go get ice cream
ao3 link!
It’s not anything to do with Daileth, and it’s not really anything to do with Sarai going out on her own either.
She’d be fine if that’s all it was.
That’s not why Callum’s ended up chaperoning.
It’s been nearly ten years of threatless peace by now, and he and Rayla…well, they know they need to get over their hangups. Normally, he thinks, they put on a pretty good show of seeming like they are over them. After all, Claudia’s not lurking in the shadows anymore, and there are no evil forces trying to upend their world. They know this.
Sarai can go out on her own.
No one is coming after their little girl—
—who’s…not really so little any more?
She’d stopped wearing the one long plait that Rayla had kept woven in her hair—maybe a year ago?—and this spring had come with a streak of independence that they couldn’t exactly deny her when they’d been crossing continents at practically her age—no matter how protective they’ve tended to be.
Free reign to be wherever she pleased in their Corner of Evrkynd had been great for Sarai, anyway. Her room had quickly filled with all sorts of random wares from the market, her afternoons were often spent on an impromptu scrimmage or spar in the park, and she’d found all kinds of causes and campaigns to care about in their little Corner of the city.
All of these had also added up, of course, to more and more reasons to spend time with her little friends outside of school, too…
…but little girls don’t look at their little friends the way that Sarai looks at Daileth.
All of her mom’s sparkling wit shining right on through…
Yeah, that little friend of hers is in deep…and Callum’s known it for a while, long before Sarai had come home, insisting on taking Daileth to the sweet shop that Barius’s niece had opened after the war—
All the way in Katolis.
She’d promised them, apparently.
There’d been talk, though, according to Soren, about anti-elf sentiment brewing again in Katolis city. Both kiddos will stick out…even if Sarai manages not to get clocked as the poster child of unity that she is. It’s not exactly a secret that he and Rayla have a thirteen-year-old with horns and ten fingers, and it’s not that unlikely that she’d get the brunt of some asshole’s bigotry—worse, even, than if she were just a visiting Moonshadow girl.
Daileth is a winged Skywing, too. They’ve never even been to Katolis. It’d be…not great for their first time in downtown Katolis to be ruined by the worst of humanity.
They’d imagined the worst, of course, but if Callum has a say in it, no one is ruining Sarai’s first…
…whatever this is.
Date?
Daileth stumbles on purpose, zigzagging so that their shoulder makes contact with Sarai’s…
Yeah.
Date.
So, he’s along for this ride, whether they want him or not.
…and they definitely don’t want him.
For one, he’d absolutely ruined their plans of flying here—
On Daileth’s wings!
On their own!
He’d had the foresight to have Rayla hide her blades somewhere far, far away from Sarai’s reach before he’d broken out the safety buckles.
Callum’s along for the ride—or rather Sarai had been along for the ride, strapped safely to her father for the trip to Katolis—but…
He’s really not trying to be obnoxious about it.
Sarai clearly thinks otherwise though.
She’s pissed.
What, though—is supposed to just leave Daileth hanging when they start talking to him about the wing spell runes?
Apparently yes, according to Sarai’s glare. He gets another lethal one when she goes to get a new jelly tart flavor for Daileth—who’s apparently not a persimmon fan.
He’s just…not supposed to listen to the sweet, observant things her special friend has to say about her?Apparently even Daileth knows that Sarai would rather die than let anyone be uncomfortable or upset or hurt, ever. Callum’s been a preteen’s dad long enough to know, though—he doesn’t count as an anyone, of course. She’ll sass him to the moon and back.
“Dad! They don’t want to hear about the gross grub food ice cream Lujanne fed you!” she snarks at him…before switching so quickly to sweetness as she plops a new moonberry tart into the side of Daileth’s sundae.
Ah—okay. So…he’s just not supposed to respond in any meaningful way! Got it, got it.
Daileth shrugs…and doesn’t contradict her.
Smart.
Callum’s smart enough, too, to know that he’s not to follow when Sarai jumps at the bench that’s opened up, right outside the shop’s front window.
So, he stays put, working through spoonfuls of moonberry ice cream.
Again, he doesn’t want to be a thorn in her side. Daileth’s lovely, and if this were a shop in their Corner, he wouldn’t even blink at Sarai going out to it alone with a friend.
A special friend—
—who’s turning to look at her, who’s…reaching for her? Aw, she must have some ice cream on her face. That’s adorable that they’re getting it for her—
Oh no.
Nope, that’s not what’s happening at all—
He shouldn’t watch.
She’ll be mortified.
He knows better than to ever, ever, ever say anything, of course—
—but it’s sweet.
They’re sweet.
So sweet.
…and that’s what a first kiss ought to be.
Callum feels his eyes fill, and the tears don’t need to spill over for him to remember the salt-and-moonberry mix of the first time Rayla had kissed him—the one at the oasis that she’d prefer to deny. He wouldn’t trade anything that’d led him here for the world, but—
Daileth’s nose unsquishes from up against Sarai’s as they move apart—both grinning and laughing.
That—he thinks, watching their daughter beam and blush with absolutely nothing to cry about—is what first kisses ought to be.
He’s still misty-eyed when the shop’s bell rings again and the two of them return—pink-faced and asking in a hurry about walking to the fountain.
“Oh, uh…Dad?”
There’s his sweet, sensitive Sarai—who doesn’t need to worry about him, not one itty bitty bit.
“Just—your mom would love this ice cream. Like—a lot.” Callum answers, and—uh, yeah, okay, the sniffling is…yikes. He’d be embarrassed, too, if he was on a date and his dad was there, blubbering into some ice cream. “Sorry—you—you two walk ahead. I’ll catch up. You know where you’re going?”
She rocks on her feet, eyes on the ceiling like she’s reading a map in her head: “Uh—the left square? Right, Dad? I mean—left?”
“Sarai?” Daileth calls from the door, pointing, smiling gently. “There’s, uh, a sign.”
“Go ahead.”
Sarai hesitates, waiting for his reassurance, before dashing to the door and—there it is!—taking Daileth’s hand.
Callum has his one last tear-salted spoonful of ice cream:

Rayla stalked angrily into the room. Callum froze, his breakfast doughie-o halfway to his mouth.
“…What?” he asked, utterly lost.
She held up her fist pointedly, something small and brown in her grip. He flinched as she threw it at him, but it stopped moving three inches away from her hand, floating gently to the ground.
“Okay…” Callum took a bite of his doughie-o. “Amd?”
“And, I’ve had enough!” She put her hands on her hips “You have to let me brush you.”
Callum coughed, choking on his breakfast. “I’m sorry, what?”
“You have to let me brush your wings out.”
Callum let out a half-hearted chuckle. “Okay first of all, you don’t brush a feathered creature, you preen them, and second of all I am not letting you preen my mage wings!”
Rayla leaned back, folding her arms across her chest and shooting him with a stubborn glare.
“You will if you want to keep sharing a bed with me.”
His mouth dropped open. “Rayla, you can’t be serious.”
She tapped her foot impatiently.
“What’ll it be feather-boy; me or the wings?”
Callum leaned his head back and groaned. “You, obviously. Always you.”
Rayla gave him a self-satisfied smile. He sighed, setting down his breakfast and lifting his arms to his side.
“Manis—”
“What, are you crazy?!” She smacked him quick and hard on the shoulder, “Not inside, bird brain!”
“Ow,” Callum said, rubbing his shoulder, “You can cool it with the bird themed insults, by the way, I get the memo.”
She smirked at him mischievously, one eyebrow raised.
“What, are my insults too fowl for you?”
Callum groaned again. Rayla laughed, grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the door.

For once I have mobilised myself in time to write for a fandom event 🤣 2 out of 5 weeks are complete, and the thirds is well on the way to completion 🙌
what's your favourite Rayllum hc that features Ruthari? (can be your own or someone else's!)
OOOH. Okay. So, like, this isn't necessarily a headcanon, but maybe a parallel?
I am OBSESSED with the way that they put out Bloodmoon Huntress right after Through the Moon.
These panels, in conversation with her leaving Callum at the end of ttm?? in conversation with her explaining herself in "Dear Callum"???? good lord. Like, Ruthari is The Example of Love to Rayla, and I have to imagine that her sweet bean 15-year-old self was like. Okay. Ethari loves Runaan. Ethari understands why Runaan puts himself in harm's way. Callum loves me. Callum will understand.
I mean. COME ON. And then, LITERALLY the next scene:
"I'm not saying he doesn't love Ethari. He clearly loves him, like, a lot. But I just don't get why you'd go put yourself in danger when you've someone that means so much to you at home!"
"...you're basically my best friend. I wouldn't let anything happen to you, no matter what it took."
anyway, oops, I'm crying :)
forever screaming, crying, throwing up, love bby girl so so much 😭
