Oh... actually... sweatdrop
Her mother had been away for the past four years-- seeing the world with her mother? Guardian? She isn't quite certain what those two are to one another. But she only just returned.
...Without Tsutchi... crying

"Oh.
"... Well, better to have a wife who travels than none at all," mumbles Rika, indicating pleasant relief that Boyan is not a widower.
"What is your mother's occupation?" Rika wonders.

... Well, surely something must cause her mother to travel?

If there is, Melody hasn't heard about it.

... ... ... "I am sorry."
Rika bites her lip, turning her face away from Melody.

No, no, it's Melody's fault for not knowing! She'll have to ask, or maybe she could introduce Rika to her or Daddy would be happy to, probably!

Rika wonders if perhaps she thinks her Dreaming daughter is not intelligent enough to--
"... Sorry, I overstep my bounds," Rika whispers, cutting off those angry thoughts suddenly, actually sounding mortified.

Melody's gaze snaps toward Rika, mouth agape.
Wait, wait, wait...
What?
Melody's not very smart, she knows, but her whole family's the same. They're all Dreaming. But... maybe her mother thinks Melody doesn't understand a lot of things... she knows her mother thinks that Daddy isn't capable of things like remembering to list a forwarding address or not to bring his duckies to bed or... or...
...
She covers her mouth with one hand.
Oh.

Rika cringes, waving a hand. "No, no, no," she says, she didn't mean to imply such unpleasant things about Melody's family.
"It's just a Princess's paranoia," she says with a strange laugh.

... D'oh.
"Yes, I am Rishi's daughter," Rika says, slowly, hesitantly, as if she is admitting something deeply embarrassing.
But there are seven of them, she adds, so it's not a big deal.

Melody doesn't know who Rishi is, to be honest...
But, she adds, noticing Rika's hesitation, there are a LOT of other princes and princesses and emperors and empresses and kings and queens and prime ministers and gods and goddesses and half-gods and half-goddesses and angels and devils and all sorts of people with statuses on Gaia!
So it's nothing to worry about, really?

If that's the case, then Rika wishes people would stop falling over themselves when she mentions her mother in their presence...
She rubs her face.

Well, at least Melody doesn't know who she is? 3nodding
A pause.
...Is it true that Daddy is sort of Rika's father?
