Linny thought about it again for a moment.
Then you can make Mother a pretty crystal necklace. She'll definitely like that.
Aviel looked skeptical. "Does your mother like it… or do you like it?"
Linny puffed out his chubby cheeks indignantly.
Believe it or not, I don't care! If you don't believe me, I'll just go find another father. Big Phoenix and Big Leopard are both very nice—they would definitely be willing to be my father.
Aviel couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright, alright. Father believes you," Aviel said quickly. "But is there anything else? What else could Father do to make your mother happy… to make her like Father more?"
Linny held out one tiny paw.
That's a different transaction.
Aviel frowned. This little rascal had already learned how to bargain.
With a sigh, he placed a few more crystals into Linny's paws.
"Fine. Now talk."
Linny inspected the crystals carefully and seemed satisfied.
