Aiko was much older, a bit more matured now than she used to be. A bit more weight on the bones, muscle and the like. Her eyes showed wisdom even though there was still a childlike wonder in their brown color.<br/><br/><span style="color: mediumpurple">"Welcome back!"</span>she yelled out, jumping into his arms.<span style="color: mediumpurple">"The kids are out playing.

Steak on steak with potatoes and cherry pie."</span>
