Temporine, getting ready for a long day of the complete and utter chaos that is 12 highly powerful children being under your care was braiding his hair in front of a mirror.

"Dad?" a small voice asked behind Temporine.

He looked down and saw Nikto, the celestial Scatatar at his feet.

"Can I help braid your hair?" she squealed, hugging Temporine's leg.

"Of course, you can get your supplies if you want," Temporine welcomed this idea with his warm, soft tone.

Nikto quickly ran out of the room the slithered back in, holding a box of hair ties, accessories and more. Temporine sat down in front of a chair as Nikto got on the chair.

"You have really pretty hair" she commented as she began combing her guardian's hair and separating it into three parts.

"It seems like you used to have longer hair, why did you cut it off."

Temporine was startled by that question, he remembered having longer hair, bigger horns and being a lot older than they currently are.

"It was cut off.. I cut it off, it got caught... Badly" he was kind of telling the truth, just not fully. He didn't like the memories of his past before he sealed himself away in stone. Nikto accepted that as an answer and placed hair pins and accessories inside the braided hair.

"Where's papa dee?" Nikto asked another question, this time she was a bit concerned like she was worried about her other father's welfare.

"Dee went to visit his younger brother," Temporine responded

"I have an uncle?!" she gasped as she tied off the braid, "tell me more tell me more!" she scurried in front of Temporine and begged him to tell more about this newfound uncle.

"Well.. he lives far away from here, on his own island...oh! and he's also taller than Dee" he smirked, picking up

"Liar, Dee is the tallest there ever was!" she protested. This made him chuckle.

"I like what you've done to my hair." he says looking at the braid, tied up with a white bow. "Thank you"

"You're welcome dad!" Nikto gladly said.
