*sighs and thinks*

Okay, I'm a bad son, a bad brother and a bad king. Let's add bad father to that list. And then, just to get in a pre-emptive strike, I think bad husband should go up there too.

:( Come here baby. ::holds arms out::

*clings*

((Like father, like daughter. Or something. ;)))

::rubs his back:: It'll be okay, baby. She'll come round.

[artaher]

I should have handled it better.

[swanmaiden]

You were fine. You just can't expect her to accept something like this overnight. It's new.

[artaher]

I know. It's just... I've looked after her for so long. Just me and her. And the thought that she would just run off like that makes me wonder how much influence I ever had. Makes me wonder whether I'm as spineless as everyone says. Can't even convince my own child that I love her.

[swanmaiden]

She knows you love her. She's just angry. And probably very jealous. Children don't like to share affection with anyone. Especially when they've had it all to themselves before.

::smiles a little:: You know, when we told Finny he was going to have a little brother he stopped speaking to us for two months. He got over it, though, and she will too.

[artaher]

Did he? Sounds about right.

*shakes head* Maybe I rushed it. But I'm not changing my mind. I love Nellas too much for that.

But I want my little girl back.

[swanmaiden]

She'll come back to you. She loves you. I know she will. :)

[artaher]

Thanks, Naneth. :)

[swanmaiden]

Anytime. :)
