stalinglim as an encouragement/bribe for her to continue writing her pheonixverse story line. (Go read it if you haven't already, it's great.) She asked for something with Roy.
Roy leaned against the door frame as he watched Lian sleep. Today had been a rare day off from the life of Red Arrow. Today he was just Roy Harper -Dad.
The day started off by he and Lian making their “world famous” banana pancakes, utterly destroying their kitchen with banana peels, flour, and the thick gloppy batter. It had taken two hours to clean up the mess. And another hour clean up from the water fight that had started innocently enough by a carelessly thrown dish rag.
Next they spent the afternoon at a new amusement park. Riding the rides, eating hot dogs and cotton candy, and ultimately ending in Roy winning a hideous purple dragon for Lian, which she declared to be her new favorite friend. After the amusement park they made their to Lian's favorite ice cream parlor where Lian demolished a banana split, (much to Roy surprise because he couldn't thinking of eating anything more after the junk food they had eaten at the park.)
Now he watched as his little girl slept, one hand wound tightly around the dragon. He quietly walked over and knelt by the bed and ran his hand through Lian's soft hair and kissed her on the temple, “Sleep well my etai yazi.”
