"I am quite certain that I do." And even if he didn't, there were things that would be a little bit too big. And that would be good enough until the morning, where the clothing issue would be rectified.
It was easy enough for him to move though the house silently. He was well used to being awake while everyone else was sleeping, after all, and had learned to be as undistruptive of their rests as he possibly could. It was easy to go to one of the bathrooms. There would be some clothing kept there.
"Here, try this on for now ?" He handed one of his older coats to his son. It was a little small for him now, so it might do nicely for Isidore. He would look for pants in the meanwhile.
Really, this suddenness was really a little complicated...

Isidore watched his father creep around, he was really good at that. He thought as he waited for him to seek out some clothes. He took the coat and pulled it on, it fitted him quite well.
"Thank you." He said as he buttoned it. "What do you think mama will say? Do you think she'll be sad that we're all growing up?" She had been a bit sad after Kyrie had grown.

This was another delicate question, and Ankou did not answer it right away, using his searching as pretense. Would it be better if they did not know ? But then again he had always prefered not to lie to them, and explain the truths, harsh as they could be, plainly to all three of them. And Isidore had already perceived it, so what use would there be ?
"I know she will be, though she will do her best not to let it show too much." He finally said, pulling a pair of black pants from the storage area. "It isn't easy for either of us, honestly. But it's something that has to happen." They had each other, at least. Unlike Kios, who had faced nearly everything on his own and carve a path for himself that no one else could truly guide him though. "It's sad... but it makes us happy, at the same time. To see you all turn into what you are meant to be. There is a lot a pride in that."
Caelia would be quick to follow, Ankou was certain.

Isidore watched his father move about in his searching and waited patiently for him to answer. He was used to long silences where his father was concerned, he was not much of a talker. It was a wonder how he and his sisters were so chatty. Even their mother didn't really speak unless she had something of worth to say.
"We still need you both. I don't feel grown up, I just have a grown up body. I still don't know anything more than I knew when I went to bed last night." He was certain that there was a hell of a lot for him still to learn.

"Here, try this and see if it fits ?" He handed the garment over, and his lips twitched in amusement. "I hate to break the sense of wonderment, but I still learn new things often."
Living was a process. That much was certain. He couldn't claim it to be otherwise.

Isidore smirked at his father's words. An expression he had most definitely inherited from his mother.
"That might be so but you still know more than me." He replied. He pulled the clothes on and they fitted well enough. He wasn't sure they were quite to his taste, though was also rather unsure when he had developed a taste. "I think they'll do for the moment?"

"Yes, that will do for now." They could see to provide for his newly acquired tastes later on, when the market would be open. Surely they would find something that suited him somewhere in there ?
"Did you wish to go back to sleep ?" Ankou asked. He had never been much for sleep and perhaps his son would be the same now. If that was the case, then he would find something to keep him busy with until the sun rose.

Isidore shrugged. Not really. In all the excitement he didn't feel tired. It was like having a new toy.
"Not really. I can help you with some things if you'd like?" He suggested hopefully.

Very well, then. Ankou nodded and started heading back. Now what could he have Isidore do that would not disturb anyone else, but yet remained entertaining for his son ?
Hmmm. "Would you like to look over maps with me, then ? Many of them are quite old." Some even represented places that not longer existed. This might be of some interest to his son, especially the one he was working on completing and studying at the moment.

Would he like to look over maps? That seemed like a silly question.
"Yeah I'll help you." He replied, a grin spreading over his face. He was quite excited by that prospect, actually helping his did doing grown up things. "What kinds of maps are they? Why are you studying them?" Yep, he was still full of questions.

"It is a map of the Underworld that I am drawing out for your aunt." It would be quite helpful to Valyrmora when the time came for her to reclaim the realm. "I also told her that I would try to find something for her within, so I am also trying to figure out the easiest path to what had once been her part of the realm."
Which was easier said than done, given how everything had shifted.

Maps? Maps were pretty interesting, and he was very interested in maps of the Underworld. After all that was where the souls would go it would be good for him to understand how it all worked and see it for himself.
"Can I help?" He didn't know the underworld but maybe he could help with design. Path ... "Where would you enter? Under St Kore?"

"Oh, it is not so much about the entrance point..." Though using St Kore would probably be wisest for everyone else involved. He had no idea what effect a soul path would have on another deity. He doubted anything too drastic would happen, but perhaps it would be uncomfortable.
He unrolled the map them, weighting the corners down with some stray objects from his desk. "But which path to take within."
The map was incomplete - it was hard to truly be able to note everything down without a proper bird's eye view, and he had not had the time to ride the gryphon to see for himself. If it even could be done.
"I suspect that here..." He pointed at a large mountain. "Hosts what remains of your aunt's domain. But I have never seen any path leading upward.
But there had to be one. So he was trying to figure out if there was some kind of landmark that could reveal something.

((Long Weekend!! Hoping to get some stuffs done XD))
Isidore looked the map over. Just looking at the landmarks excited him, there was a whole world down there, just as up where the pantheon was. He studied it closely and looked to where his father was pointing.
"It wouldn't be made easy to find would it? It would be a hidden way through, for only the gods. Maybe mum's books say something? Or the library?"
