Rhona couldn't help but to chuckle at Sage's description of the cat-like ears. Yes, she looked like her mother. It was almost uncanny to that fact. That personality though, that determination, that was all Tarrok. The android couldn't deny that. No one could, really. Sage was going to make heads turn. That was one hundred percent sure.<br/><br/><span style="color: silver">"Yes, yes, you look like your mother. But who you are? The strength and power you have? That's all your father and no one thinks differently."</span><br/><br/>Mostly because she was adorable when she questioned the practicality of a cat with her head turned like that. Not at all because she was attached to the ten year old. Never could be that.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Daikon listened to every word as if it would be the last. Sure, Aiko was his biggest supporter. His mother always knew what to say and what to do when the boy needed something sated in his mind. It was strange to him to get advice from his father. It wasn't just because he wasn't around. It was more that he wasn't sure how his dad would handle the preteen's doubts and feelings. Though, this certainly was a huge plus in the right direction. His father was here, the now. The future had to be more bright as long as he was there, right?<br/><br/><span style="color: seagreen">"H-how can I change t-the world? I'm not strong. I don't know how to fight, daddy."</span>It was true. He had no clue about the dangers of the world.<span style="color: seagreen">"I can't protect mom or Sage if something happened to you. I wish none of this happened."</span><br/><br/>It was clear he thought himself weak. Daikon wasn't like his father or Sage. Sure, he could probably busy a hole through solid rock, but why would he want to? That wasn't like him at all. It made him feel worse knowing he wouldn't ever be able to protect the people he cared about like Sage. There were many days he felt as if he didn't belong.
