Tsun's Apartment and Workshop

He shook his head. "Not yet." He then got up and walked over to Syprus. "But can we talk a bit in private?"

"We can lets step into the work shop." Syprus led the way and they entered the shop.

He walked in and then closed the door. "Takumi really likes me...and when I told her that I'll be leaving when I'm an adult." He blushed a bit. "She said she wanted to come with me and marry me like her grandpa is with her new grandma."

"Sigh, we can cross that bridge when it happens. She is five and she rushes into stuff like her mom." Syprus picked Ashura up, "you need to gey powerful and protect her if you want to keep her. A friend of mine dedicated her life to revenge nd ended up turning crazy. I don't know your story but if it is revenge you should forget about it."

He nodded a bit before laying his head on Syprus' shoulder. "Hmm...it's a long story."

"I am good at feeling emotions, I could feel the sadness. If you choose to leave then get stronf enough to protect her. She will follow you to the ends of the universe she is like her mom, when she makes up her mind there is no changing it." Syprus took a seat in a chair.

He nodded. "I could tell...when she said she wanted to marry me I said Ok and kissed her." He looked down a bit fearing he would get angry.

"Don't worry so much kid just try not to go beyound kissing you both are kids." Syprus hugged him, "you are family I would not hurt you. Though something needs to be done about that hair, I won't force you to cut it. Just let me brush it and keep it nice." Syprus patted Ashura's head.

He blinked. "You don't like it long?" He tilt his head. "And sure you can fix it a bit."

"I don't mind it long we just need to keep it nice, I can do touch ups on it later. If you need anything do not be afraid to ask for it. I bet you are tired though." Syprus starts to hum softly to Ashura.

He shook his head. "Just a little shaken...I brought Takumi back because while at the park something felt wrong....I saw two men that looked familiar to the men that killed my parents."

"I see, I can go with you both next time if it makes you feel safer." Syprus hugged Ashura tightly, "thank you for bringing her home. I am glad you are safe too, you are my daughter's treasured one. You need to stay safe too."

He nodded. "I like her the same way as she likes me." He smiled. "That's why i wasn't angry when her curse was permanent." He then climbed down and walked towards the door to go check on Takumi.

Syprus sat there a minute, then he got up amd went back into the living room.

*Takumi was sitting on the couch, humming while reading the book Bley gave her. She couldn't understand the language, so she was looking at the pictures instead*

He walked over to Takumi and climbed up next to her before leaning in and kissing her cheek. "Hey." He then smiled and cuddled.

"Hey. I'm just reading, well...looking at pictures in this book a weird lady gave me while I was at my grandpa's earlier..."

He nodded. "Think you could help with my hair a bit." He then ran his fingers through her hair.

"Yeah, I could...how do you want it?"

"just fixed so it doesn't get tangled so easily." He lay his head on her shoulder and smiled.

"Alright, turn your back to me, I'll put it in a pigtail for you..."

Syprus was standing outside their field of vision watching them interact.

He looked at her and then kissed her before turning so she can adjust his hair.

*Takumi blushes a bit, putting the book down so that she can work with his hair, which was long enough to be braided into a pigtail, and was in a short while*

Syprus hold back being a protective dad again, "I promised myself I would not interfere they are just kids." Syprus was getting annoyed.
