"... and the cat went meow, meow, meow," Kali read from the page of a storybook meant for small children.
She was about to turn the page, but a tiny hand landed on it, stopping her.
"Meow," said baby Blake as she patted the picture of a cat in the book.
"Yes, that's the cat that's going meow," Kali replied.
At the sound of her mother's voice, the toddler turned to look at her.
After staring for a moment, Blake pointed toward the top of her mother's head and asked, "Mommy meow?"
Kali laughed at this and said, "Yes, Mommy's a meow, too."
Then Blake reached up to touch her own kitty ears.
"Bwake meow," she announced proudly.
"The cutest little meow ever~" Kali cooed.
The child's face scrunched up, apparently deep in thought. After a few long moments, Blake asked, "Daddy no meow?"
At first Kali wasn't sure how to answer. While Ghira was a cat Faunus, it was obviously his visible lack of kitty ears that was confusing their two-year-old.
"Daddy is... more of a... uh, roar."
Little Blake clambered down from her mother's lap and toddled over to the toybox to grab a teddy bear.
"Daddy roar?" she asked, holding up the teddy.
"No, he's not a bear," Kali said, just as Ghira walked into the room.
"ROAR!" the toddler insisted, holding the toy bear up higher and shaking it.
Ghira, having no idea what was going on but deciding to join in on the fun, roared back - which caused Blake to collapse to the floor in a fit of giggles.
Kali sighed. "Now she thinks you're a bear..."
"Why does she think I'm a bear? Should I show her my claws?"
"No, don't show her your claws! How would that help?"
