This One Is Very Interesting So I Wanted To Continue It - Tumblr Posts

Lucette wiggled happily as she was picked up in her father’s arms, wrapping her short arms around his neck to hold on. The smile she had on her face however faded away when he spoke.

“But I haven’t done anything bad, Papa. And I promise I won’t get into trouble, I just want to explore. Sif can come with me too.”

The child’s nose wrinkled as he spoke of not being liked by everyone. The idea confused her immensely.

“But everyone likes you, Papa.”

A smol Lucette tugs Artorias’ clothes and asks “Papa, why can’t I walk around the castle at night like the other kids?”

It was a difficult question. Artorias knelt down. Gigantic hands ( in comparision to the small body of the child ) tucked themselves beneath her arms. Lucette was lifted with ease and held close--- affectionately, lovingly. He was tender in response to her question, a ghost of a smile barely on his lips, as he spoke to her in a hushed tone.

He did not know how to phrase it, but his daughter deserved better than his silence. So, he spoke with some caution, taking the risk that he might utter an error. "These halls were meant for Gods," he began, then internally cringed. She is going to think lesser of herself, she is going to feel out of place. Quickly, he changed the direction he intended. "'Tis the held belief, at least, by my kin. 'Tis not a matter of trust in thee, Starlight, but the trust I have for my kin. I am not close to everyone in Anor Londo. I fret... what may happen, if by perchance, thou disturb'st one who is not so kind."
