Dear Daughter [TomTord]

His Siblings

+Leader Section: With Tom+

Tom went to his daughter's room with running thoughts going through his mind. First being how Tika is feeling right now? Second, is what's going on with Tomi that's making him mad at his brother? Third finally being why Torm is being mean to Tika?

He goes up to his daughter's door, pressing his ear to the door to try and hear if she's there. Blurred voices are heard which signals him to knock.

"Tika? It's me."

He waited for a moment to see if he would get a response. The answer coming with the door being unlocked.

Tom opens the door to find Tika cuddled up on the canopy bed with her brother hugging her from behind while she's sitting on his lap. The boy giving her gentle licks along the nape of her neck for comfort by his monster instincts.

Tika didn't seem to mind as her eyes are rimmed red from all the crying she had been doing. Seth laid across the foot of her bed looking between him and then to the pair of siblings.

"Hey Tomi, Tika... Do you mind if I come in?"

The Tomi stops licking the nape of his sister's neck to rest his head on her shoulder. He purrs a bit when Tika pats his head.

"You can come in mom..." Her voice quiet like a whisper.

Tom steps into the room and closes the door shut behind him. Then he comes to the bed and takes a seat on the side of the bed.

Silence is all that their is in the room besides the sound of Tomi returning to lick the nape of her neck again.

"Are you here to ask about what happened?" Tika brings the first question up since their mom came into the room.

Tom shakes his head, "You're Father is doing that now as we speak with Torm. I'm here to listen to anything you want to talk to me about."

"Anything?" Tika repeats looking up at her mother's green eyes.

"Of course, I won't pry on what you don't want me to know. Wether it be a decision or a certain topic you want to catch up on, I'm all ears." The brunet wasn't going to force anything out of his kids unless they made him really, really angry. Besides, brutal prying is reserved for interrogation of spies and assassins.

Tika looks thoughtful for a moment. Thinking of what to do because of the event that happened earlier today. "Mom, can I..." She looks hesitant to ask, her gaze shifting to look away from her mother's eyes.

"Yes Tika?"

She pressed her lips together then continued.  "Do you think I can go back to living with Uncle Edd and Matt?"

Tomi instantly stopped his licking, his hug around her waist tightening more. Seth brought his head up to look at his distressed mistress.

Tom looks disheartened for awhile when she said those words, yet he continued to talk for her.

"Tika... Do you really want to stay with them?"

"I mean I love being with you, Tomi, Torm, and Dad too... but I don't think my brothers are ready to have me come into the family picture yet." Tika sniffs and wipes away some fresh tears as she talks. "I know you and dad are okay with having me here but my brothers are fighting because of me."

"Tikky..." Tomi whispers in a comforting voice. Her sobs breaking his heart in every way. He only wants her to be happy yet his fight with their brother isn't making things better for her.

Tom scoots closer to the pair so he could lift her head up by the chin. "Tika... If you really want to go back to your uncles, then I'll talk to your father about it. Just tell me your answer now."
