[There's nothing like taking a good nap after a night out with friends, especially when you've got a baby tiger to take care of on a normal basis.
But this bed seems a bit more cramped then usual, and shifting a bit to get more comfortable will only result in a firm kick in the leg for Mr. father unit. That'll teach you not to go for the left side of the bed while you've got the majority of the right to yourself.]
The kick wakes him, but it's not what's most alarming. What's most alarming is the dead weight of both combined tiger and pig pinning his leg.
That and the raven black hair that's tickling his face.
He scrubs a hand over his mug, really only making the situation worse. He also pulls on a certain someone's hair, waking *her* with a yowl and a crashing bounce back down onto the crowded mattress.

What. [Her voice is quiet, the kind of scary quiet girls get when they're about to flip tables, and she's staring at Dick like he'd better have all the answers ready to go.] Is all this?
[The little girl looks between the two of them.] Mom? [Confused. DO THE TWO OF YOU NEED SOME GROWN-UP TIME?]
Don't look at me, I don't know!
[He really, REALLY doesn't like being caught off-guard, but he does (sort of) remember to use his 'indoor' voice. Mostly thanks to the presence of the little girl, rather than the potentially enraged Tamaranean.
The girl continues to look back and forth between them, gradually growing more and more sheepish by the second, pulling her knees up to her chest.]
