He blinked, looked down at Tepin.
"After all?"
He thought - no, no, he wasn't a good person. He'd knowingly taken his god's token, despite the visions Tezcatlipoca had shown him. He knew he would one day kill someone, kill many someones. Would one day end up destroying most of humanity as it was, if he won.
But he did it, because he was selfish.
"I am not," he admitted, frowning at his stretched out legs. He shook his head, one ear tilting curiously.
"Any other questions?"

“Yea!” She frowned up at him, her feel kicking back and forth in distaste, “How you are bad!”
Her fists went up in front of her, facing outwards.
“You take care of your sister by yourself,”
A finger went up.
“And you take care of me,”
Another finger joined it.
“And Mr. Slinky,”
A third finger entered the fray.
“And you make us breakfast everyday,”
A fourth.
“Before going to work all day to pay for us,”
The first hand was now outstretched, each finger stretched out completely.
“And then you come home, and make us dinner,”
The first finger of her left hand joined in.
“And you play with us,”
A second.
“And make sure we take baths and brush our teeth,”
A third.
“And then you tuck us both in,”
A fourth.
“And you sleep with me every night.”
Both hands were a large ten, held up close to his face so that he could clearly see them.
“I can do more, but I gotta use my toes, and I’m not sure I can hold them up like that.”

Bemused, he stared at the ten fingers held in front of him, a slow and warm smile spreading across his face. He chuckled, carefully folding her hands within his.
"I get ee't," he answered her ruefully, kissing her hands. "No need to use your feet."
He grinned, and then hoisted her up as he stood. "Speaking of - you still need to brush your teeth, little lady. And ee't ee's already far past your bedtime." He frowned pointedly at the clock, but couldn't keep it long before he was heading up the stairs with her in hand.
Valeriu always knew how to get back on the track of responsibility.

She frowned at him-- the poor clock was innocent, it was his fault for looking! She didn’t even get the ice cream, and she was being forced into bedtime and teeth brushing! Not fair!
But she obeyed, scrubbing her teeth extra hard and rinsing like a good girl, before disappearing into her room (Glaring as she closed the door-- she didn’t want any peeking!!) and emerging ready for bed.
The process had gotten much faster and easier once they had given up on trying to tame her hair before bed. They both knew she had bedhead 24/7 anyway.
Thus, it was a very relieved and satisfied girl who climbed into that oversized bed. Not only had Varu turned out to be a good guy…
… But she was really sick of cramming together on that couch bed!!
