"Kozmotis!" The man glanced up to see his wife with blazing eyes. Oh, no what was it now? "Emily went outside again this night"

"And?" asked the man irritated. "Joyce, It isn't my fault she wants to go outside! Eventually she'll learn that-"

"She is your daughter" snarled his wife. "A bit more care would be nice."

"Do I look like I don't care, Joyce?" The man stood up now to face his wife with equal anger visible in his eyes. "After all I've done for you two to be safe, you..." he didn't finish his sentence. For the short amount of time he was allowed to be with his family, he didn't want to leave on bad terms.

"I don't say I don't appreciate your efforts, Kozmotis..." spoke his wife a bit more calmer. She too, didn't want to escalate this dispute. "But Emily is growing up... You are going to miss all these amazing things when you are at war..." Joyce looked beggingly up to her husband. "Can you talk her out of these nightly escapades? I know she listens more to you then me..." When Pitch nodded, she kissed him on the mouth, their dispute forgotten.

"EEEEW...." The couple parted from their kiss and saw their daughter, who had seen their show of affection.

Kozmotis laughed at her comment and knelt down to ruffle her hair. "What's so digusting about it?"

The little girl's face grimaced. "It's all wet and sloppy..." His daughter screamed when he took her up.

"All wet and sloppy eh?" said Kozmotis misschieviously as he ran to the lake. Emily's eyes widened in terror when she realized her father's plan.

"No, no, no please, don't throw me in the-AAAAAH!" SPLASH! When she went up again for air, she scowled to her grinning father and began to splash water into his face. Soon, they both were dripping wet and cold from their little water fight.

"Emily?" The sudden serious tone of her father made the girl stop. "I heard from your mother you sneaked out again at night?";Emily looked down as she didn't want to face her father's gaze. "Why do you keep doing this? We are both worried sick...." spoke Kozmotis as he held his daughter against his chest.

Emily scoffed. "you mean, SHE was worried sick. You were too busy with fighting that war of yours!"

"Emily!" The harsh tone of her father made her cringe. "Don't ever think i'm not worried about you or your mother, simply because I'm not here! I think about you every day..."

"It doesn't feel like that sometimes..." said the girl as tears began to form in her eyes. "I miss you father..That's why I wanted to go with you, to help you fight those Fearlings..."

Her words made the man pull at his heart strings. "Oh Emily..." The man pulled his daughter closer against his chest. "I'm at peace when you and your mother are as far away as possible from these horrible scenes."

"But I wanna help!"

"You help me when you stay safe" smiled Kozmotis as he caressed her hair. "Can you promise me that?"

Emily bit her lip. "If it helps you to win that war more quickly..." raisoned the girl. "Then I guess I can do that..."

"I'll be back soon" smiled Kozmotis.
