I'm sorry. I was supposed to be writing a Jalla fic, but then I thought about Zorelei and their children and couldn't help but to write this. XD
...
Zavid ran a hand through his unkempt hair, attempting to flatten it down. He jumped slightly as arms wrapped around his waist before relaxing as a face peered from behind his shoulder. The face kissed his shoulder and smiled at him.
"Don't worry, hon." She said. "You'll do just fine."
"Mon cher," Zavid sighed. "You don't know that. This is the first time that I will be taking her to school and staying with her all day. I've never been to mortal school."
Lorelei raised an eyebrow. "Would you rather take Cathy to your job?"
Zavid shook his head immediately. Not only did Zavid work as a day counselor at Camp Phoenix once more, Cathy was their first child. As a teenager, she was obnoxious and thought she knew everything about the world. She irked Zavid because she reminded the manticore of himself. "No. No. I'm good. Thanks for offering, though."
Lorelei chuckled and kissed Zavid softly. "Then take Tuntra." She said. "All you need to do is take her to school and follow her through her class and talk about what you do in your line of career."
Zavid raised an eyebrow. "You want me to the mortal kids and teachers that I work at a camp full of half-humans, half-gods, and that they have abilities they use that can either be used to protect or destroy the world?" He asked.
The manticore's wife shook her head, smiling. "Okay. Maybe not with that much detail, okay?" She straightened out Zavid's bow. "Just... Be subtle. Talk about the trip to Rome!"
Zavid shuddered at that thought. "Naw-ah. Je ne le ferai pas, mon amour. I shall not."
Lorelei chuckled. "Okay. Whatever. Just," She stood on her tiptoes to plant a kiss on her monster husband's cheek. "Just be subtle and careful, okay? You never know if a teacher is a monster out to eat our little girl."
"I'll keep an excellent eye on her, cher." Zavid said, kissing the top of Lorelei's head before checking his watch. "Big hand for minutes, right?" He asked, smiling, remembering the first time he had asked her that at Camp Phoenix.
Lorelei smiled, too. "Correct."
"We should get going, then." Zavid said. "Tuntra! Come on! Daddy's taking you to school today!"
A little girl of about five years of age came running into the room that her parents were in. "Dada take me to school?" She asked excitedly.
Zavid laughed and picked Tuntra up. He ruffled her dirty blonde hair and poked her small nose. "Yes, Tuntra. Dada take you to school today."
"Yay!" Tuntra said, clapping. She leaned over and hugged Lorelei and pecked a kiss on her moms cheek before wiggling out of Zavid's hands to get her shoes on. Zavid followed after her slowly, smiling.
Lorelei waved farewell to them as they left the house. "I love you both!" She called.
"Love you, mama!" Tuntra said as she ran to the car.
"Bye, mon cher." Zavid said, smiling, before he closed the door.
...
So we know what Tuntra looks like. What about Cathy? Dark haired like her mum?
