"Too late, Scholar... I think I'm already smitten by his looks...." Abby trailed off as she sighed happily, imagining the handsome man. Though a moment later, her mind went from Phoenix to thinking about her whole father/daughter relationship with Scholar. Since she was adopted, did she still call him by his name or did he prefer to be called father? Dad maybe? Since she had just gotten to know him, she still didn't feel quite comfortable saying that just yet. For now, she'd keep on calling him Scholar.<br/><br/>While he was speaking, Abby heard about his past and how he was previously married, but she had passed on due to old age. It broke her heart to hear that he was alone though, but she understood why he didn't ever remarry. She would probably be the same way if she was ever married and her spouse were to pass away. Suddenly, Abby leaned forward and hugged Scholar. She didn't want him to feel alone, and hoped that she could be a good daughter to him. Whenever she didn't really know what to say, she always expressed with actions. Like the old saying, actions speak louder than words.<br/><br/><br/>Eira shook her head and chuckled as she placed Abby's folder down on her desk before walking back out to Phoenix.<br/><br/>"I was referring to her academic abilities," she explained, "She seems to be really smart. I think she'll respect you just fine, but I am curious as to why it's such a bad thing that her father adopted. He seems to be nice, and he treats her well."
