[ 6am seems like the perfect time to get up. or at least to a certain little girl, anyway, especially when it is soon going to become a magical day. but first her eyes land at the foot of her bed, briefly sad to see that her kitty is nowhere in sight (aw...) but knows that he couldn't have gone too far. this isn't the main thing on her mind, though. what is on her mind is the snow that had decided to pile up throughout the night, rolling off of her bed excitedly so she can run to the window and smoosh her face against it to peer down at the white that's littering everything.

her daddy promised her to play in the snow, when it decided to come. now that that day has arrived, she thinks it's time to wake him up. this is why she's quickly scurrying across the (not very large) space between her room and her parent's bedroom, wiggling inside the crack that she finds there between the door and the wall. beams down at the floor when she notices her ~~very fat~~ ~~unhealthily large~~ kitty on the floor next to the entrance, waddling on over to squat down and pet him. after a few scratches to his belly (mow, mow...) she stands again, giggling a little to herself when she notices that both her parents are still snoozing away.

creeps quietly to their bedside so she can poke her eyes just over the mattress to stare at albert. reaches over to gently pat at his face, whispering a low daddddyyyy to see if that'll wake him up. ]

[ slowly withdraws his arms from around her so that he can sit up. ]

Do you have an outfit in mind?

[ springs up too. ]

My fluffy pink jacket!

Very well. [ slips out of bed, stretching a little as he walks on over to the door. ] Has it been laid out?

[ before she answers she's scooting on over to brianna, bending down to give her a smooch on her temple. after a little petting and whispering (bye bye, mommy) she's rolling off the bed towards albert, reaching for his hand. eventually shakes her head. ]

I forgot.

[ takes her hand. ]

Then we've quite a search ahead of us.

[ puffs up a little. ]

An adventure!

Hmm. Will we be alright on our own?

We can take it on by ourselves!

... ! [ lets go of albert's hand, waddling over to catbert. ] But we should take kitty just in case.

[ wraps her little arms around the ~~lump~~ cat, trying to lift him as she makes a HRRRNNNNNGGGG sound at the effort. ]

... ?

[ tries again. HRRRNNNNNGGGG-!! stops, staring at catbert as she tilts her head a little to the side in confusion. ] ... ??

[ & like the dumb dad he is, he doesn't do anything to help her, only covering the lower half of his face as he shakes with silent laughter. opens his mouth briefly as if to speak, but then seems to shake it off, content in simply watching the show. ]

[ she's too busy trying to figure out how to pick up catbert to notice, determined to do this by herself regardless. but it's a futile effort on her part, only getting the ~~fatty~~ cat a few centimeters off the ground before dropping him again.

huff puff. huff puff... ]

... [ slowly turns back to albert, waddling back to him so she can take his hand again. ] Maybe we don't need kitty after all.

[ chuckles, shaking his head fondly. ]

Mm. And there is no adventure without challenge, yes?

[ nods slowly. ]

Yes, daddy. You're the smartest, so you know everything.

This is merely confidence. Do you know why?

Because you're my daddy?

No, because I am with you.

[ & this makes her puff up again, possibly as large as her little chest can go. ]

Do not worry, daddy. I will protect you!

[ stops briefly so that he can get on one knee. lets go of her hand & opens his arms, offering to carry her the rest of the ~~small~~ way to her room. ]

I have your word?
