... You know, maybe I should really get out more often.

I just wish it could be without the guard around, all the time. I know why Noriko wants me to stay protected, and it does help with taking care of Sumiho, just...

It feels a little stifling, I guess?

*Souha can be found at the park. With or without their small toddler child.

But irregardless of that, someone else is also nearby-- a Samasu with black and blue hair that covers their eyes, clearly standing guard over the firestarter.*

[keepersouha]

I guess so, yes.

*Sumiho makes a bit of a "ah!" sound, hiding more. ... but he's laughing a bit, so he seems to have gotten the point that you're not trying to scare him.

he peeks out after a bit and goes "boo", even, before hiding again.*

*Kotori lets out a little squee at that.*

Sumiho is sooo cute~!

[keepersouha]

*Souha smiles a bit at how gleeful Kotori is over Sumiho*

Well, I'm glad you like him. *leans down and ruffles Sumiho's hair, making him fluster and flail a little while laughter*

He's going to be 2 in a couple months. It's so strange to think of.

[longingfreesia]

It really must feel like the last 2 years have flown by for you.

[keepersouha]

Honestly, I still sometimes can't believe I had a child at all.

I was hoping I'd get used to the idea, but now I'm wondering if I will if I'm not adjusted to it, yet.

Though this is where having help comes in handy.

[longingfreesia]

Sumiho is your first child, then?

I guess it takes a lot of getting used to. It's a big change after all and I'm sure you're experiencing a lot of things for the first time with him, so, it's probably natural for you to still feel a little out of place with it.

[keepersouha]

Yes. Though my wife has adopted, before, Sumiho is really the first child we've had biologically.

[longingfreesia]

Oh! So you have adopted children too? That's really nice!

[keepersouha]

Ah, yes. But I'm not incredibly close to them, sadly. They like me well enough, though. One of them-- Akae-- she's really taken a shine to Sumiho, and wants to be a good sister to him. He really liked watching her matches, especially.

*... wait... Akae?*

[kattobingore]

E-EH?! Akae?!
Then your wife is Wakahisa-sensei?!

[longingfreesia]

*Kotori's face lights up!*

Oh! Akae once told me that she had a little brother! I didn't realise this little cutie was him!

[keepersouha]

*giving a bit of a chuckle at their reactions*

Yes. I'm married to Noriko.

So, since you called her that, I guess you're a student of the Academy?

[kattobingore]

Ah! I'm a former student! I recently graduated!

[keepersouha]

Oh, a graduate? I see.

I used to attend Duel Academy myself, though my interests ended up shifting away from dueling itself as an occupation.

[longingfreesia]

What kind of occupation do you do now, Souha-san?
