Velma at least had the decency to hide her sex as she entered her home.  She gave a wide grin as she made her way through the catcallers, quietly excited by the attention on the way to her room to dress.  She owned so very many of the same outfit for just such a reason... and early as it was she was able to get some work done that night!<br/><br/>The next morning... she was awake as her father came to check her, and as expected he knocked.  Velma answered after she had dressed; her father had seen her adult and naked more than once before, but that didn't make answering her father naked any the more appropriate after all.  Especially when she knew he was secretly concerned for her.<br/><br/>"No daddy, we won't have to worry; they found me on-the-scene this time," she explained, as it was a matter of public record technically anyhow, and she truly did not make a habit of lying to the man who'd raised her, at least not beyond the 'expected' lies anyhow about her virtue and chastity and what she did on her 'sleepovers' with her lady-friends... "I was operating officially at the time, quickly cleared up, with credible witnesses vouching for me, and people whom recognized whom I was... the first man I slew was of the Cabal though, but I wouldn't be concerned about retaliation given his foolish actions and obvious failure giving him 'what he deserved' for making them look bad...<br/><br/>"...he did have silver bolts..." she mumbled shrinking a bit as she turned her eyes aside. "Hurt a little, but that's about it before I ripped him into meat... it was momentarily concerning, considering I don't make a habit of advertising my nature, and it's not something common to carry besides...<br/><br/>She knelt down though, until she was eye level with her father, smiling sweetly, and moved to hug him, and place a kiss to his cheek, or rather to his grey old beard.<br/><br/>"I'm fine though, daddy," she whispered quitely, embracing the elder dwarf. "And I love you too, even if I think you worry too much sometimes."<br/><br/>She chuckled as she squeezed a little harder.<br/><br/>"But you wouldn't be 'daddy' otherwise would you?" she posited with humor. "Spoiling 'your little gemstone' so much, no other man could hold a candle; I'll never find a husband who could ever compare!"<br/><br/>And who said dwarves were cold as the stone they mine?  Velma knew they were quite affectionate, in a dwarven sort of way!<br/><br/>"So, I've nothing mandatory outside my lab until it starts cooling down in the evening," she stated as she moved to stand, brushing her skirt off. "I have more prophylactics for those Shonite whore-priests - you know, the two sisters? - but I should have the batch done in time to help with lunch.  I'll help with dinner too; I'm sure those men from yesterday will all be back and even<em>hungrier</em>..."
