Ridan smiled softly and let out a long exhale.
"I wonder what the future holds for us, Syaria," he murmured. Then his grin slowly returned. "But one thing I know for sure…"
He puffed up his small chest proudly, smacking it with his tiny, puffy hand.
"If that guy and the princess ever get married and have a bunch of kids, hehehehe~ they'll call me Uncle Ridan!"
Syaria covered her mouth, giggling. "Uncle Ridan, huh?"
"Yeah! And I'll tell them all the stories about their idiot father and me, our grand adventures, our dumb luck, and every time he almost died but didn't!"
He floated a little higher, tail flicking behind him as he laughed.
"One thing's for sure," Ridan said with a proud grin. "The boys will take after Hazuki's human side… and the girls will definitely get Ellyna's catgirl charm."
"Ehehehehe~" he chuckled to himself, clearly pleased with the idea.
Syaria just smiled softly. Her voice came out in a quiet whisper.
