《Master of Cards. *Reborn*》Chapter 50 : Chillout.
Advertisement
Kael was now out and about, this time he had the whole week to himself. Lucius was joining his family out for a vacation in the nearby mountain lodge with the others. Kael was just lazy not to go considering the Gods who've made his family members Avatars were going. So today? He was just going to stay in Matello and not do anything crazy.
He was walking with Scarlett and Josephine, holding the hands of both Violette and Emeline. Now they were toddlers.
"Come on dad!"
"Okay. Okay." Kael was following the two around while Josephine and Scarlett were just giggling to the sight of Kael who was keeping up with the kids. They bumped into a person, where Kael looked at the woman. It was Blake.
"Wow, you're pretty! But my mama's prettier!" Josephine chuckled at hearing that as she made her way to Blake.
"Sorry about that. The two of them are pretty lively you see." Josephine said as the two kids moved to behind their mother, tugging her pants. Shy but coy when meeting with Blake's eyes.
"So what are you up to? Oh yeah. I heard that one girl's looking for you. Not Cindy but... It's that singer? She said she's looking for a bodyguard?"
"Well, good luck to her then. Sorry, busy with work for my daughters. Come on girls, let's go watch a movie!"
"Okay daddy!" Violette and Emeline ran to Kael's side, holding his hand.
"Wait.. Daughters? Kael's married?" Blake was caught off guard by how Kael said it so calmly.
This time they were going to watch a movie, where Kael cast magic to keep the two kids from doing too many crazy things. They were excited to be sitting in their own seats with popcorn as they watched the movie. Marveling at the animations on screen, seeing the many characters. They were just happy to be here, Kael could see Violette and Emeline being heavily invested, perhaps because it was the first time they saw the movies.
After that was done, they went shopping for clothes. Where Emeline and Violette went to pick out the colours. Josephine held Kael's hand while they were picking out some clothes for Emeline and Violette. Checking the tags at the back for the right sizes. Just making sure everything was up to standard. Swiping his card to buy them clothes, and then continuing onwards. Just moving around the shopping mall where people kept an eye on Kael, mostly eyeing his children.

Josephine kissed Kael's cheeks then she walked on over to the three men who were eyeing her children. Well, now that was going to be trouble. Kael just sat there thinking about what was going to happen next. The three men were no longer in view. Safe to say, Josephine has dealt with them and how did she do it? Perhaps such a question is left unanswered, even Kael felt a sharpness to her gaze and despite that lovely smile of hers. Josephine must have been pissed off to even harm the three men badly. Kael could only hope that they're alive. Better yet, maybe they're just sitting in the toilet being scared. It's not a bad thing anyway, if she didn't do it. Kael would have done it first.
Though it was nice to just sit back and relax, his other swords were just watching the house with the Fenrirs. Even having some of the groceries being done by them. Lunch was uneventful just how he liked it. Just wiping the mess off Emeline's mouth when she ate her mushroom soup with garlic bread was something Kael had not felt in a while. Chuckling as Josephine was helping Violette drink her chocolate milkshake.
It was the little things, these little memories that Kael made today that keep him going. Kael came home to find Nelista using magic to collect all the Fenrir fur that was moving about. The house looked like it was in a mess, but nothing of value broke so that's a good thing. Just a lot of fur all around the house with some of the food from the fridge being eaten.
"Welcome home, avatar."
"Thanks, Nelista. So... The Fenrirs came into the house?"
"As you can tell. They seem to enjoy being in this house." Kael watched as Skoll pounced on him.
"Hey, there Skoll. Still rowdy as ever."
"Of course, have you seen my grand children? They are just running everywhere because it's fun! Oh and the crops are ready." Skoll got off Kael as they headed outside, looking at the garden that they had. Strawberries, apple trees, mango trees, banana trees... They were literally living off these since most of these fruits are expensive. Then the vegetables were mainly cauliflower, broccoli, bak choy, kai lan and a few others. Bell peppers and some bitter gourds. Kael could see some off the Fenrirs leaping up to the trees to take a bite of the fruits hanging off it.

Comical, yet adorable to watch as the branches would sway from their reach. Though Kael knew it was just Skoll playing pranks on his descendants. Their tails wagged like normal dogs, happily leaping into the air to get bites of the fruits. Kael sat by the sofa, he needed the rest. Putting his leg on the table, leaning on the velvety pillows.
For now, Kael could use some shut eye. So he did, letting his guard completely down. Unknowing that his face was about to be drawn by Scarlett, Josephine, Emeline and Violette. Just sleeping in a land of dreams. Where in those dreams, Kael was sleeping in a field of cotton. Utter comfort and pure bliss.
The kids were just drawing Kael's face with all the goofiness that was the might of the black marker pen. Kael opened his eyes to see his forehead and neck full of doodles, well for now that was nothing for Kael. Just going over to see that his kids drew circles by his eyes, with poorly doodled kittens over his forehead.
This was a good laugh for him, Kael turned to the left to see Nelista helping Josephine and Scarlett on cooking, along with some pans and pots that had been cut open. Perhaps it was from Josephine's rage when cutting the vegetables in terrible shape. Scarlett must have taken the advice of 'cook to your heart's content' a bit too literally. At least Nelista was going to make sure whatever that they were going to eat was edible.
Kael got up, stretching his limbs as he went into the bathroom. Seeing that Scarlett and Josephine had prepared the bath for him. So Kael stepped into it. Just wiping his face clean with the water that had the smell of mint, spring and a bath bomb that was soothing to his soul. A nice bath tub session was far more important than what people thought. It was a guilty pleasure that Kael had loved but there had to be more to it.
Kael was sinking into the bath. Blinking once and he finds himself falling. Another blink Kael was falling from the sky.
"Great... I'm falling and I'm naked." Kael waved his hands over his body, where he wore his black tailcoat as an Avatar of Destruction. Seeing explosions from the distance and screams from the distance. Landing on his feet, Kael stood on top of a tree. Where he recognized a particular sword that was using in the fight.
"Ah... So it's the Lord of Thorns... Lucius. What's this about?"
"Sorry Kael. Etana said that this particular Outsider may be dangerous even for the Lord of Thorns.."
"Eh, it's fine. Just make sure you tell the kids why I'm missing dinner."
"I will. I apologize for the trouble." Kael kept an eye out to see Joshua swinging Ashen Phoenix and using the cards that he gotten from Kael. He was decent, but he can surely do better. The cards he gave Joshua were his old deck but to see them being used again. It was fun to watch, specifically seeing Joshua's growth.
Though the Outsider this time? Might be a bit annoying, even for Kael.
