"And if she doesn't want to be with you when she grows up?"
"Okay, okay. Calm down."
"And if she wants to cause suffering to someone?"
"I have no qualms about it, just making sure you know that most males in this family either have a beloved one or don't care about relationships, so you have no need to be so overprotective of her."
"Jericho, are you in love with your little sister?"
"I believe it's more than older brother protectiveness."
She put a hand on his cheek. "Stop it."
"I mean how you were protective to her like a mother."
He woke up and hissed at him. "I'm guessing it's like how you were earlier with Blossom."
She sucked on it while holding onto it with a vine.
He rubbed her back.
"Yes." He sat down next to her.
She spit it out and gave it back to him. "Of course."
She took it from him and put it in her mouth. "No, but it doesn't taste good."
"I know, little one."
"How does that sound?" Vines came out of her back and wrapped around him gently.
"She said he's going to adopt you." She hugged her older brother.
"She said Dad rejected her since she isn't really his daughter." She giggled.
He purred in return.
Aye. He licked her face.
