Lively this evening.” he says as the sun starts dipping below the mountains, casting their long shadows down. “How about we call it a night, head on home for now and do the tour tomorrow? You're welcome to stay with us, or if you'd rather have a place more private I can get you a room at the local inn.”
“I...Think I'd like to stay with you. If it isn't any trouble.” you say, to which your brother just smiles before reaching over, putting his hand on your head.
“Alright, let's head on back home.” he says, his smile reminding you of your father's own. You both take to the air, Chilli leading you as he flies back up the mountainside towards his crystal tower. Where, as you get close, suddenly hear a voice shouting out.
“DAAAAADDY!” a young girl cries out, you watching as a tiny figure leaps from the roof. Only for golden light to explode from her, your niece Meloka Wolbach transforming into a Super Saiyan as she flies at her father. You watch as he catches her to his chest, the force of the tiny girl's charge actually knocking him a few feet back in the air. “DADDY!”
“Hey there kiddo. How was school today?” he asks her, holding his daughter up overhead. “Did you learn anything?”
“Yeah! I learned how to do this! Create Water!” she says, pointing her finger at his face. And from her finger pours a gentle stream of water, splashing against his face as he chuckles.
“Wow, very well done.” he tells her, half-gurgling on the water as he lets go with one hand, ruffling her hair. She stops the spell, beaming at her father's approval a moment before noticing you out of the corner of her eye. She turns, then her eyes widen as she sees you.
“Auntie Milha!” she shouts, leaping out of her father's hands to you, catching you by surprise. Before you can really react she crashes into you as well, trying her best to wrap her arms around your middle. Slamming her head into your gut, she knocks you back a few feet before you recover. Patting her on the head with one hand, wrapping your right around her back. “What're you doing here? I thought you were staying with grandpa?”
“Well, I was. But things happened, so I decided to come stay here for a while.” you say, watching her eyes widen in surprise. And instead of looking sad or angry, she looks excited. Eyes sparkling as she meets your eyes, clearly excited.
“REALLY? You're really gonna stay?!” she asks, eyes wide before reaching down, grabbing your hand. “YAAAAAY! Come on, I'm gonna show you my room! You can stay with me!”
And as you let your excited niece lead you to her home, you can't help but get the feeling that you're going to enjoy living here a lot more.
