[Lyon wakes up today with a spring in her step and a song in her heart.  Not only is it the 4th of July, but she's got a date with Freyjadour, her oldest childhood friend who she's had a crush on ever since she was eight years old and moved onto Partridge Drive from across town.  The two formed a fast friendship, and from then on they were almost

[Luckily for you, Ken making breakfast had been automatic enough that the 50% he's under didn't quite effect it yet.]

Mornin' kiddo. Why are you lookin' so spiffy?

[float_like_a]

I have a date with Frey tonight!

[weiss_tank]

I see. Don't stay out too late, don't forget you have a curfew.

[He pats her on the head. Aww, daddy's little princess is growing up already...

No. Lyon is a knight!

Don't be silly, girls can't be knights.]

[float_like_a]

C'mon, dad, you're messing up my hair!

[Even still, Lyon smiles as she tries to push his hand out of the way.]

I promise I won't be out late.

[weiss_tank]

Well, I expect you to be sort of late if you're planning on watching the fire works. [He always would let her get away with murder...she's his little...

No. No she isn't. She's from a different world. NOW STOP THAT]

[float_like_a]

I'll definitely be home before midnight, okay?

[Fluttering her eyes. This always turned dad into butter, right?]

[weiss_tank]

[Daddy's little girl...wrapped around her finger...

She can take care of herself, Miakis said she could fight...

But you've met Frey, he's a good lad, he'll take care of her...]

Well...Alright. I'll tell your moth-Miakis.

[Lyon makes a happy little squeaking noise, jumping up and down and clapping her hands.]

All right! Thanks, daddy!

[Have a happy little kiss on the cheek from a very pleased daughter.]

And tell Miakis - er, mom - not to worry.

[weiss_tank]

I will, you two have fun. Not a second later then midnight, do you hear me?

[float_like_a]

I promise!

[weiss_tank]

Now eat your breakfast and I'll see if daddy has some spending money for you...

[No, you are NOT her father...]

[float_like_a]

All right! Thanks, Ken!

[Slipping again, just for that one moment. She doesn't seem to notice.]

[weiss_tank]

[Yes...Ken, not daddy. He's not her father, he's too young to be her father, he only met her a few weeks ago...

No. She is his daughter, he's known her all her life...

Just hand over the damn money.

I thought I told you to stop swearing.]

Here you go sweetie. [He hands her $10]

[float_like_a]

Wow, ten whole dollars! Thanks, daddy!

[Aaaaaaand the drone is back in full force.]

[weiss_tank]

[Before he knows it, he's kissing her on the forehead like a good doting father.]

Now be good.

[float_like_a]

I know. I will.
