“ well since you want gifts- I have a surprise for you Dad” a certain cinnamon roll seems very excited about something
“A surprise?” His antennae perked up as he gave his adopted daughter a lopsided grin. “What is it, Lele? Rosie learn somethin’ new again?”
Lele nervously attempted to get kingdoms attention " u...uhm... hello...?"
Kingdom looked up from their trance. They seemed tired, worried, and stressed. But other than that, they were okay.
“Hello, Lele. You’re doing okay?
The box from Lele contained a suit for her father, a suit made out of gold material with soft grey and lavender accents. And of course, a sparkly gold bow tie.
Tamatoa gasped as he held the comparatively tiny suit in his claws.
It. Was. PERFECT!
With a quick flash, he’d shrunk down into his human form, and quickly tossed his shirt and shorts aside so he could try on his new outfit.
Lele was a bit hesitant to come out and see what was going on. She had Rose cradled in her arms as she slowly stepped a little closer to a crab she didn’t recognize.. “ hello..?”
The obsidian crab slowly stirred from her rest, and her eyestalks rattled as she shook away the last little bit of morning haze around her mind. She blinked down at Lele as she approached, and after a polite, muffled yawn behind her claw, she smiled.
“Hello. Who might you be?”
Lele nervously approached her Dad, playing with the hem of her sweater. “ hey... I have some news.....”
"Hey, kid! What’s on your mind?” He tilted his head. “Is something wrong? You seem... nervous...”
A soft familiar giggle drifted through the cave, followed by one that tamatoa had never heard before. It was a girls laugh. They both came from lele’s little room she had put together
An antenna perked up at the unfamiliar sound… and a suspicious frown darkened Tamatoa’s face once he realized where it had come from. He loomed over the entrance of Lele’s room, casting a shadow inside.
“What’s going on in there?” he growled.
Lilly quietly approached Tamatoa, she wore an oversized Christmas sweater. In her hands she held a yearbook from her elementary years “ hey big guy, the school I went to was arts based and pretty great, maybe it’ll be good for your kids “
“Been listening in, huh?”
He flattened against the ground with an irritated sigh.
“Guess that’s a good a lead as I can get right now... Don’t suppose I’d be able to see it for myself first, would I?”
“ yeah it is, this is the first Christmas I’ve actually spent with a family “ Lilly smiled softly “ and I love it “ Lele hugged her dad back the best she could, purring as she continued to smile, she was so happy...
“Me too, kid. Me too.”
Meanwhile, Taonga and Huaka smiled from their perches in the Christmas tree.
“That’s so cute,” Taonga giggled.
Huaka tilted her head and whispered, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dad act like that.”
“but it’s cute!”
“Mm-hmm!”
