The mood at the dining table was cheerful and lively, the children stayed with their father, that allowed the women to return to their usual groups.

All the children sat either on his lap or on his shoulders. Nyx sat on top of his head, the little girl was usually silent and almost always gave in to whatever, but this was one thing she never gave up on, no matter what.

Kira sat properly on his lap, chewing her food silently.
