The Children (Sanscest)

Chapter 10 - Fallen

Error grins then chuckles, "You enjoy the PTA meeting?"

Nightmare dusts his suit off and grumbles, "I swear that bunny lady touched my buttocks."

Nightmare wears this:

"She probably did, maybe even more ladies did and you just didn't notice."

Nightmare shivers, "How do you do this?"

"I don't go to all of them, only every now and then. Makes Gradient happy and he behaves a little better when he hears I'm going to one. What did you hear about your abomination?"

Nightmare stares ahead as he walks with Error. The hard part about the parent gathering, besides being defiled by many women, was finding out which teacher was his spawns. The offsprings weren't prone to getting in trouble, so he never had a reason to chat with a teacher.

"Mercy's educator had many things to say, although the conversation mainly centered around I and his mother. They brought up Dusk's passing, they spoke of it changing him. His participation in class has gone down and he's been keeping to himself more. She suggests that I talk and spend more time with him."

"She's not wrong, you barely spend any time with your kids. I know their pain in a ass but just hiding in your work won't make them any less real."

"What would be some bonding activities I could do for them?"

Error smiles softly as he remember bonding with his own kids. "Board games are never boring, and the fair is coming soon. You could celebrate Crescent graduating there. Eating out together, getting some ice cream with them, going to the park."

Nightmare gives a light glare at the ground as pain swirls in his chest. "The park..."

The memory of Dusk's death hitting him, he'd like to feel bad, feel angry, but his magic consumes it. If he brought the spawns there they would surely be in a despair at the same memory.

Error glances at him, "OR, go to Dusk's grave together. Spend a day bonding over memories, cry a little maybe. Moments like that make them memorable and valued."

"Perhaps. It isn't a awful outing idea but I'm not positive the spawns would join me there."

"Battle training is pretty good, you can tell them about the Mulitverse and train them."

Nightmare gives him a glare, "I'll bring mine up as I please and you shall do yours in your way. You won't tell me how to raise them."

Error shrugs, "Just a suggestion your royal Highness."

Nightmare nods, the joke one many make but isn't keen on changing the title for anything else.

"Maybe you should kill the style here, just wear hoodie or something. You're asking to get robbed wearing something like that."

"If they want to take anything they'll have to fight me and my spawns."

"Won't be much of a fight if only you know how to fight."

"Crescent has shown he knows how to fight, and Mercy was enrolled in fencing until the recently death."

Error nods, of course Nightmare had his kids busy.

Nightmare looks at his home door as they stop. "What is the magic tolerance here?"

"They see skeletons walking around, they won't bat an eye. They see them using magic, they're watching them like hawks trying to get the cops on them. No teleporting around."

"Learn that the hard way?"

Error chuckles, "Learned that from Ink when he drew a car for us to use. Some of the monsters even called us monsters."
