Rawlf was awoken by the ticklish sensation on his eyelids. Although finally awake, Rawlf decided to pretend of being still asleep and further observe a pair of small fingers stealthily touching him on his close eyes.
'Fire, is this how we are going look like as well when we go bigger?' Fair asked her older twin who was also lazily lying on her side, both staring at the sleeping face of their father.
'I will. But you will be different.'
Fire looked pensive for a moment before answering his twin sister.
' A little bit of mommy but you are more going to be like the feminine version of daddy.'
'Hm, I want to look more like mommy but looking the same way as daddy is not that bad.....He looks fine'
Both Fire and Rawlf's mouths twitched by Fair's last comment but both also never dared to argue to insist their own aesthetic as first up, it's Baelfair who made the comment and second up, the comment is directly to the other ost important and treasured wonan in their lives, Veronica.
'True, you also don't look that bad.' Fire replied in nonchalance.
'Fire!!!!!'
Baelfire looked over his twin sister and true to his thoughts, she was once again pouting and her not so chubby, meaty, pinkish cheeks were puffing healthily and well- her duck face lips.
Seeing the amused expression of her brother, Baelfair look at him sharply in his eyes.
'Do you know that it's improper for boys to made mention of a girl's appearance?!'
'And what next? You're going to tell me that I'm objectifying girls?'
Fair did not reply but just maintained her sharp, creepy gaze towards her twin. Baelfire understanding that he couldn't win over Baelfair if she really insist on this 'creepy staring contest' decided to concede.
'Fine, I'm sorry.'
Rawlf on the other hand overhearing this conversation of his three years old cubs was shocked beyond words. Although the knowledge of his cubs being geniuses is no longer a secret o him but this conversation is something that he didn't really expected from his twins. This at the same time made Rawlf to be more protective that he already is of his cubs.
To be born innately genius is both a blessing and curse. And together with Veronica, Rawlf is even more driven for it to be the former in his cubs' case.
'Dad, stop pretending. I know you're already awake.'
Rawlf instantly opened his eyes after hearing Baelfire's words. 'Indeed his cub.' Rawlf thought.
'Morning lovelies.' He softly greeted them then moved out of the bed. ' How about we went out first in order not to disturb your mom's sleep?'
Baelfire nodded his head and was about to move out of the bed as well but their father beats him to it and without warning carried him and Baelfair both on his arms.
Baelfair was giggling from the excitement of being suddenly carried by while Baelfire was trying his best to be discreet with his admiring gaze towards their father.
'Where are we going daddy?' Fair asked with her openly excited voice.
'How about helping daddy with feeding the koi fishes?'
Hearing the early morning activity with their father excited the twins and simultaneously said yes with Baelfair clapping her chubby small hands together.
Rawlf with a soft expression carried his cubs on the man-made pond he meticulously designed for the koi fish at the back part of the mansion.
There was already a middle age man waiting at the pond area and after seeing the arrival of the master of the mansion, the man bowed his head while trying his best to act like the kids presence didn't bother him.
Of course, who in their right mind would make it obvious that he is a busy body with the affairs of his master. After having his safe and quick glance at the kids on the master's arm, the man realized that they're twins and what's more,….. their feature were similaxr to the master!!
'I'll take it here, Pi.'
The man whose name was Pi after registering what the master had said bowed once again and turned to leave and well, bringing with him the feeds for the koi fishes.
'Leave the feeds.'
Hearing the master's words, Pi halted right away while trying his best to hide his embarrassment, was quick to return back and leave the koi fish feeds container. Always, the prize one would get when his mind was drifting somewhere else and not with the present. And well, indeed, his mind was somewhere in 'They're the master's children!!' confirmation.
After Pi left, Rawlf and his cubs were left to feed to koi fishes. Rawlf only stand around and with soft eyes watched as his two cubs throw feeds on the water while gently ruffling each of their hair from time to time.
Rawlf basked with enjoyment of talking to his cubs, much to his children's happiness seeing as their father is attentive and is trying to think first before answering their not so hard questions like, especially of Baelfire, 'What are the fish saying right now, daddy?' , while all the while, Baelfire would turn to his twin sister and cringe over the stupid, childlike questions she would throw to their father and afterwards, would look to their father who answered those questions with something like, 'They're thanking us for their foods.'
Baelfire couldn't help but to furrowed yet at the same time, trying to hide his smile. Their dad is ferocious and cold-blooded according to the information he collected about him so far, and yet here he is, trying his best to accomodate them. 'Couldn't be help, they're his children.' Baelfire thought.
Baelfire turned to shrugged off his shoulders and continued on with his own task. To feed the the koi fishes silently.
'Fire, don't go too far and be carefull, you may fall.' Baelfire heard his father's soft words.
Baelfire was silent at first then replied after a while.
'You'll save me anyway daddy.'
Rawlf was caught off guard from what he heard from his son. Different expessions passed on his face and the last one was of intense devotion. He heard him say, 'No doubt.' Which earned an approving glint on the twin's eyes.
'Daddy pass all the tests so far!' They simultaneously thought in scheming minds.
