#BUT HERE YOU GO HAVE FLOOFY MAMACELI

dear diary… 

Hisame took his first steps today! Hinata and I are spending the weekend in his Deeprealm– We’ve been wanting to see our little boy all week and gods above am I glad we chose now to go! 

I can hardly believe Hisame’s a year old already– It feels like it’s barely been a month for us! I’d noticed just how different time could flow upon visiting my nieces and nephews with my siblings, or accompanying Jakob when he dropped by Dwyer’s realm… But it’s an entirely different sensation when your child is the one who’s changing at the blink of an eye. 

It’s a little sad, really, but I suppose there’s nothing we can do. This is one of the only ways we can keep the children safe– Not that it’s… Very responsible starting families during a war, I’ll admit, but… 

I won’t let such negative thoughts tarnish such an important diary entry. I won’t. This is a joyous occasion, and I refuse to treat it as anything less!!

I had been playing with him in his bedroom when Hinata came looking for us, and upon the sight of his father my little love broke out into a smile as full of sunlight as his papa’s. Before I knew it, he was off– Tottering out about three or four steps before he fell and Hinata was there to pick him back up! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Hinata look so excited in the entire time I’ve known him, but gods I can’t blame him in the slightest! The first thing Takumi and Oboro are going to hear about when we get back is this– From the both of us!

… 

Hinata wants to start teaching him swordplay already. I remember him saying once that he was swinging a blade before taking a step, but I’m almost positive that was an exaggeration. I understand his family’s history and respect how seriously they take their training, but I think I may have to put my foot down on that one. I don’t want my little boy hurting himself accidentally… He’s still so small and fragile! 

I suppose given the way time flows in this realm, he’ll be walking safely enough on our next visit. Perhaps then would be a more suitable time to let Hinata start teaching him…?
