Aiko couldn't help but to smile at Sage's excitement. She poked at the girl's food, urging her to finish eating. There really wasn't much that needed to be said. The feline did train, but not in the chamber. She wasn't about strength or power. Aiko was nimble, fast. Though, she was pretty sure neither of her children ever saw her fight. It was just one of those things that she would do if need be.<br/><br/>Daikon, however, looked at the piece of meat dropped onto his plate. His eyebrow raised when he father started speaking about books. It was hard for him to get any quiet half the time with Sage around. Any books he did have ended up missing or destroyed. He poked the steak as he nodded.<br/><br/><span style="color: seagreen">"That'd be cool. Maybe we could go together?"</span>he replied, starting to cut the portion of meat.<span style="color: seagreen">"Sage broke my bookshelf though."</span><br/><span style="color: mediumpurple">"Sage, did you break your brother's bookshelf?"</span>came Aiko's reply.<br/><br/>It was quickly easy to see why Daikon sometimes felt like he was the odd one out. He didn't have his own little space. It was hard for him to do what he liked doing with Sage always around bothering him. The only peace he got was when he was helping his mother with chores. There was hardly any time with his dad anymore. Aiko caught the look on his face, giving a glance to her lover. They needed to have a talk. Whenever Sage got done with her food, the feline placed her dishes on top of hers.<br/><br/><span style="color: mediumpurple">"Sage, you're on dishes. Then bath time when you're done."</span>She stood, placing a kiss on the top of Daikon's head.<span style="color: mediumpurple">"I want you to clean up first. Bed after. You need your rest. I need to speak to your father. Privately."</span>
