He grinned and shrugged. "I am not sure how long elven children usually take, but you are nearly nine years old. You should be well past basic thought processes at this point. Of course, once again, I blame your mother for this, not wanting you to hurt yourself trying to get smarter."<br/><br/>He leaned down and stage whispered in her ear. "Might make her uncomfortable being the less intelligent in our little grouping, mayhap?"<br/><br/>He picked up Tera in one arm, the puzzle in the other, and tossed her idly into the air, where she instinctively spread her wings, and glided in a circle to land near his feet, laughing delightedly. "See? You aren't going to get hurt from being dropped, and you should be old enough to at least look after yourself in a controlled environment. And your other siblings know better than to glomp you."<br/><br/>Cerulean would have likely been horrified by his carefree treatment with their daughter, but she clearly wanted to wander herself, heading toward one of the other tables, and trying to climb up onto the bench. "And yes, I usually do find something that alters reality, but then again, my wanderings are randomly selected, letting the ladies Luck and Fate have their way with my destination, or in direct response to a request from a survey team. The later usually resulting into something happening to me that alters reality, rather than some passive discovery. Besides, I haven't been to the Cave in nearly a year, and I still hold both a speed descent record, and the furthest descent for a solo god. Curious to see how the new and improved me, without the tainted monkey on my back, does. Though I can do that later. I do, however, dread to think what you might find on the 450th floor and the 500th. I found my intelligent cloak down there on the first one, and then buckler on the second and final run."<br/><br/>He headed over to Tera, and caught her as she lost her balance, having managed to get almost on top of the bench, easily scooping her up with one arm. "And you need to be careful, otherwise you might get hurt, and mama will get mad at me for not watching you. How about we work on climbing things that aren't taller than you, hm?"
