The Unwanted Daughter [Finished]

[Spiderfly]

Pravus nodded, yes, it was rather quick. But then again his daughter was a Queen, a natural born Queen. He looked her over again, slightly interested in this daughter, that to him, had seemed to just pop out of the ground. Then again, he had been the one to refuse help raising the girl, thinking her realm would make her a born failure. But. . . Peaches wasn't, so why would their daughter be? He shook his head lightly.

"It is simply a matter of rank difference. Imagine when you're an adult, and when you have bipedal or human form." A sick smile crossed his features. Oh, she would be able to do some damage that's for sure.

.. Thanks, euch. He just nodded a bit. It would be nice if she wasn't a child, constantly seeking the adult okay for everything. But. . she had done better than any child should have rightfully been able to do, and showed a good bit of rage and urge to injure as well. Perhaps, she had potential. But, that was enough for today.

"Why don't we go get some tea?"

Xiven was musing on his statement. Yes, rank difference, and a biped form. Hands would be nice... and eventually a human form. That would take a lot of work wouldn't it? She sighed. Being an adult was a long way off, wasn't it?

She perked up at the mention of tea. "That would be nice." She replied as she turned to face Pravus. Did her Papa actually approve of her now? She knew that he never would completely accept her... she was a girl and and a Torq. She would never be perfect for her Papa just because of that. Even if she was a Queen.

Tea though. She needed to focus on having tea. It would be easier than thinking about justice, torture and adulthood. She padded past the man to the stairs. For now she just had to leave everything behind and think about it later. Stupid complicated things.

Pravus watched her go up the stairs ahead of him, not moving from the base of the stairs yet. He looked about the dungeon, everything was in place and clean. Was this really a place for a child though? Even his own? Fino had no problem bringing him down here when he was but a child, in his mind. And look how he had ended up. . happy. Or as happy as he could get.

But still that bit of worry gnawed on his stomach as he finally began his ascent towards the main palace grounds. Everything, was her choice. Xiven could turn back of her own free will at any time. He didn't realize though, that that wasn't entirely true. That she was trying to so hard to win him, that she didn't have that choice to turn back.

On the way back to his chambers he flagged a young girl in the hall and told her to fetch tea, or someone that could. They didn't want to be left waiting. She nodded with wide eyes and as soon as he turned to continue walking he heard her hurried footsteps all but running down the hallway. The job, did definitely, have it perks.

Once they reached his room once more he opened the door wide and the window to get a breeze in the room and sat down opposite his daughter. . . He wasn't quite sure what to say.

Xiven shivered at the breeze. It was a bit chilly outside, somehow. She was at a loss of what to do. Her Papa seemed so uncomfortable she might as well leave. But... that meant she had to refuse the tea that he had sent away for. Her tail twitched with debate.

"I'll leave if you're so uncomfortable. I don't want to bother you if you don't want me around," She said clearly. She may be a Queen, but she was still a child. A very little child that could be dropped out a window if someone felt so inclined. Of course she would go with a fight, but that wasn't here or there.

"And I'll come back some other time if that's the case. I want to... learn more about what you do," She said with twitching ears. She glanced at the door before moving towards it. "Actually, I think I'll be off. Mom said I have some lessons. Thank you, for your hospitality." She said before slipping out the slightly open door.

The feline trotted down the hallway. So.... was she still the unwanted daughter?
