"Everyone likes to make fun of me and say the only thing you got from me was your fluffy tail and ears, but, well… at least you got my gleeful cackle too..?"


It had been an accident really. Nishiki was simply trying to coax Kinu into calling him papa – or anything except for cheeky fox really – when Kagami had swept through the room before promptly walking straight into the closed door to his right.

His ears twitched and he turned around to watch her in silence, his daughter mirroring his blank expression. Kagami let out a soft curse – Nishiki noted to himself that he should probably scold her for that because Kinu's hearing was just as good as his and they did say 'no swears' – before she practically ripped the door open, her entire body twitching in annoyance.

Nishiki let out a snort, and another, before he cackled in amusement.

And when moments later a significantly more evil sounding cackle joined in, he could only grin innocently at his lover.

"Told you she takes after me too~"

Not that he'd ever admit he'd been teaching Kinu to cackle for weeks when he realized she had the lungs for it.
