While Ethan, Eris, and I indulged in theforts of Lyria’s vige—touring and resting to our hearts’ content—I found myself sprawled out on the warm floor, ignoring the bed entirely. Ethan, mirroring my posture, melted into the floor beside me, suddenly posed a question.@@novelbin@@


    “Where are we supposed to go today, Lilith?”


    “If I remember what Lyria said correctly, we’re going to the Frozen Desert. Apparently, the snowfields are breathtaking this time of year~.”


    “Really? Now that I think about it, this might be the first time Eris sees proper snow. She was only three months old when it snowed in ckwoodst year.”


    “Snow? Like this?” Eris pointed to a speck of lint she had picked up.


    “That’s snow too, but Daddy’s talking about the kind that falls from the sky~.”


    “From the sky? Scary~!”


    “It’s okay, Eris~. You’ll see it’s not scary at all when it falls~.”


    Eris, with her pure, childlike innocence, reacted with wonder befitting a two-year-old, while Ethan and I exchanged amused smiles. As we basked in the floor’s warmth, enjoying the family moment, a familiar voice echoed from beyond the door.
