The toddler nodded with the air of extreme seriousness and crawled into his father's lap. "Was he big? What'd he look like?" They asked, pulling at the clothing to see more of the scar. "How far up does it go? Do you let dada touch this and kiss it better?"
“Oh he was huge!“ Tadashi spread his arms out dramatically. “Even bigger than the house! Real scary looking too, with big sharp teeth, and black scales as big as your head! He had really big claws too, and smoke coming out of his nose all the time.” He wrapped his arms around the child, pulling them into a tight hug, mostly to distract them. That was enough poking around his scars for now.
“Mmhm, he gives it a kiss every night so it won’t hurt anymore.” As though to demonstrate he pressed a kiss to the top of their head. “And it works too.”
