IRESHI 'IRIS' TEPHNAKORN — starters

— SETTING: the Hernandez's house ; — AVAILABILITY: closed starter for ALEJANDRO HERNANDEZ  | ( @lcvelctters )

Iris had just finished bathing Elena when she heard the oven's ding announcing that dinner was ready. Usually, Alejandro didn't have dinner with them, but it seemed like these last couple of day, Elena's papa was home before seven, so that was good news. As someone who grew up without having her parents around, Iris had always found it important to have family time, and, especially in Elena's case, she was getting to an age where her personality was being shaped and her values were being taken into account, too.

By the time the front door keys dangled, announcing Alejandro's arrival, the two girls were in the dining room, Elena chewing on the lasagna that Shihi had made for them. The sound of the front door opening caused the little girl to storm towards her dad and hug his legs. "Papaaaaaaaaa!" The scene stole chuckle from Iris' lips as she followed the little girl across the house. "She was telling me she wanted to wait for you to have dinner, but I wasn't sure you'd be home early." And children needed a set time to eat and play and all that. They needed structure. "Come join us, Mr. Hernandez. There's lasagna and a plate waiting for you."
