Each of the kids have different dynamics with their parents that influences the way that they act with them.
Straga is always eager to help in some way. Despite their unnatural super strength, if he ever saw his mothers carrying something that looked like it would have been 'heavy' for a normal woman he always made sure to help them.
Thea, now that she was older, was trying to get her parents to see her as more of an adult. It had yet to work.
Gabbrielle brought them books to read and had even formed a little book club with some of the others. Sometimes they read works without smut... sometimes.
But among all of the children, Thrudd was the one who would prove the most troublesome to their current mission.
Because she was the one who sought their father's approval the most and liked being seen as the dependable and responsible child.
In laymen's terms? She was the snitch.
Like Apophis, but with tits.
Thus the reason why none of the girls were too enthusiastic about the prospect of the second eldest coming to join them on their adventure.
There was a high chance that this mission could end up ending before it even began.
Running and hiding? They couldn't even if they wanted to.
The family is linked by blood. They can all find each other wherever they may go as long as they're at least a planet's distance away from each other.
Which was how the girls ended up standing in the parking lot waiting around for the end of their plans to arrive.
"Yemaaa..! I said I was sorry! Please don't be mad at me!"
"I already said that I wasn't mad, Mira."
"Then why do you sound like that!"
"This is just my voice."
"Then why do you look like that?!"
"This is just my face!"
Yemaja finally caved when she realized that her sister wasn't going to stop whimpering until she showed her a bit of warmth.
Mira as leader of the Unongendi and Mira as the daughter of Abaddon are almost two completely different people.
Just like Kanami with the Euphrates, Mira is tough, decisive, extremely eloquent, and meticulous in both her training and missions undertaken.
But as soon as she takes her armor off and gets around her family- she does a complete one eighty.
She still wears onesies around the house. Apophis still helps her clean her room. The wives remind her like clockwork to wash her face. Abaddon feeds her pets at least four times a week when she forgets.
She may be an extremely powerful weather goddess, but she's still just a girl!
Yemaja lifted her hand and gave Mira some obligatory pats on the cheek.
"I'm not mad at you, sister. I know that you weren't trying to interfere with the mission on purpose."
At that moment, dark clouds started rolling in from out of nowhere- completely rewriting the weather man's earlier forecast of clear skies.
A soft rain began to fall over the campus, accompanied by a mellow rolling thunder.
When the booming noise faded, there was a new red-haired woman standing amongst the group.
Like Thea, Thrudd was among the oldest of the children and had the appearance of a 28-27 year old woman.
Despite being a girl, she favored their father immensely due to their shared sharp features and muscular tattooed physiques.
This also means that she is often considered to be one of the most attractive, but she holds a rather deep disdain for dressing in anything considered too 'feminine'.
In that regard, she's not all that different from Valerie, Bekka, Seras, or Sif, in that none of them really like putting on dresses either.
"GET OFF OF ME!"
"I refuse! I'm tired of you acting so cold to me all the time! It's mean! How can you treat me like this after all we've been through together?!"
"This is my first time
seeing
you in this reality!"
"And what about all the others, huh?! What about all of those incalculable millennia?!"
"How many of those have you cheated in while I was asleep?!"
"N-Not that man-"
"You lie as easily as you lay on your back!"
"Stop being mean to me!"
"Then get off of me!"
"Noooo!!!"
Gaia continued to straddle Bashenga aggressively- showing clear inability to respect personal space.
"... Are you going to do something about thi..."
Demeter's words trailed off as she found Abaddon and Ayaana covering each other's eyes.
Nyx was just watching patiently- as if she were anticipating the right moment to jump in and break things up.
She may have also been partially watching for amusement though too.
Deciding to take a page out of Gaia's playbook, Demeter scooted closer to Ayaana until she was practically in her lap.
"I believe I neglected to ask, but... Where exactly are we traveling to?"
Ayaana seemed to jolt a bit once she heard Demeter's voice from so close.
She gradually pulled Abaddon's hand from her eyes and turned to face her.
"Takamagahara... Have you decided to start talking to us again?"
"I haven't." Demeter suddenly turned her head and stared back out the window.
"D-Don't be like that, Dems. We already said we were sorry for not visiting more often."
Abaddon nodded along in agreement.
"Hmph." The goddess huffed.
She was one of the few who could make the twelve dragons feel this guilty without expressing a single word.
"...Why are you traveling there of all places?"
"Perhaps we're just interested in the weather?"
"That doesn't sound right."
Abaddon could absolutely not refute that.
Demeter finally turned back around- having grown weary of depriving herself of their beautiful faces.
"Just tell me this: is this a liesure trip or official business?"
Abaddon smiled wryly and shrugged.
"Fuck."
