Adaman started at the papers in his hand, then glanced up when Lucy walked in Jean trailing after her. His eyes narrowed, knowing exactly what she was doing. She was showing off her little brat to him to mock him about the brats Ember was taking care of since he failed to properly take care of them himself. "Dad!"Jean smiled running over to him. His eyes snapped up, glinting dangerously. Jean froze, her eyes wide as she trembled stepping back from him. "I never said you could call me that"Adaman warned Jean looking down. "You have no right to treat her that way"Lucy scolds grabbing Jean's hand. He stood up, eyes practically glowing as he stared her down before making his way past her. Luxray dashed over, the man hopping onto his back riding away. Lucy bit her nail, scowling as she watched him go. "He has to accept Jean at some point"Lucy huffs lowering her hand. She perked up then smiled, letting out a small chuckle. "Jean dear, want to go see Uncle Lorenzo, his hand is better!"Lucy smiled.

Adaman stared at the ground silently, looking amused. Athena laid asleep against a tree curled up into herself. "Hah, she has no safety awareness"Adaman mutters kneeling down. He brushed her hair aside, watching the child's side rise and fall in steady rhythm, a peaceful look on her face. Luxray nudged him, taking a small step forward. "I have the right mind to leave her here." He watched her sleep for a moment then picked her up, holding her close. "Just like your mother"Adaman comments. His hand rested on her back, his arm tucked away underneath her bottom. "Come on"Adaman muttered walking away. Tiny hands gripped his hoari, Athena's head tucked away on his shoulder. His hand gently patted her back, Luxray padding after him as they headed to the Eclipse Clan camp near the river. "Papa warm..."Athena mutters a small smile on his face. His eyes widened slightly, halting for a moment. A small smile appeared on his face as he continued, his head resting against hers. "Adaman."

Ember glared at him, Melli standing beside him holding Alyssa's hand. "I found her asleep near the woods, she shouldn't be alone out and about without a pokemon..."Adaman scolds glaring down at him. Ember perked up, a flash of surprise glinting in his eyes. "Get her one." He handed the sleeping child to him, carefully removing her hands from his hoari. He glanced down at Alyssa and frowned, a disgruntled look appearing instantly. "Can you all not dress them correctly, and you're supposed to be taking care of them"Adaman grumbled kneeling down, fixing Alyssa's hair. "My son better not be the same way"Adaman threatens removing the girls hair clip and fixing it. He muttered under his breath, the two picking up on a few of the words as the man fussed over his child. Adaman's hands suddenly froze, his eyes wide in shock. He shot to his feet and turned away. "Goodbye, just came to drop the brat off"Adaman says Luxray following him. "He went dad mode"Melli smiled. "Most definitely"Ember agrees.

Adaman placed a hand on Luxray's back but stopped when he heard running feet. "HEY!"Asante yells running towards him. Asante gasped tripping over something, his hands forward as he fell. Adaman darted forward, dropping down onto his knees and catching the child startled. "Why were you running!? Do you know what could've happened, stupid!?"Adaman demands picking him up, rising to his feet. Asante stared at him in shock, eyes wide that the man caught him. "You brats need to stop doing stupid things!"Adaman scolds scowling at him. "Sorry about him." Eddie walked over, his Luxio trailing after him. Adaman quickly set the child down, looking stunned. "I'm leaving." He hopped up onto Luxray's back and took off, Eddie watching him go before smiling in amusement. "Hasn't even been a week yet buddy"Eddie grinned shaking his head. "It's been what? Four days?" Gina walked over, smiling at her husband. Eddie chuckled and nodded, smiling down at her.

Asante watched the man go, a pat to the head snapping him out of it. "Hey"Ingo greets a small smile on his face. "Uncle Ingo!"Asante smiled knowing that meant she was here. Ingo smiled as he watched the child look around, Asante's eyes darting around in search of familiar hair or eyes. A figure tackled the searching boy down down, laughter coming from him and June as the two wrestled around grins on their faces. "Juju!"Asante laughed smiling at her. "Hey!"June laughed as Alyssa hurried over. "Hey June!"Alyssa greets holding an apple. "I'm here too, Aunt Julie came to pick you kiddos up and bring you back!"Julie smiled hopping out from behind Ingo. "She needed a shield to hide her"Ingo smiled looking at the woman amused. "Oh hush, go about your warden duties!"Julie smiled waving the man away giggling. Ingo shook his head and walked away, leaving them to do their thing. "You kids ready for the trekk back?"Julie asks getting their attention. "YEAH!"

The sound of running feet made Cyllene smile slightly, keeping her eyes on the paperwork in front of her as giggling came from the front of her desk. "Abra, whatever could that noise be, it sounds familiar"Cyllene asks Abra floating over to her. Asante, Alyssa and Athena popped into view, giggling as they smiled at her. "Hey you three, I see you got back safely"Cyllene greets letting a chuckle out. "Yeah! We saw Dad too!"Alyssa beamed. Cyllene gripped her pen, looking visibly startled since Adaman hadn't left his clan since giving the kids back to Ember after the small incident with Alyssa and her allergies. "Uncle Melli told me Papa carried me"Athena says Asante glancing away looking uncertain. "Clan Leader Adaman caught me when I fell"Asante comments his sisters looking at him surprised. Footsteps came from behind them, the four of them looking out of the room. Adaman, Irida and Ember walked past, no doubt on their way to see Kamado.

Adaman stopped for a second, staring at them then continued on his way without a word. Asante watched him, wondering what was going through that man's head whenever he looked at them. He glanced down, knowing Adaman would choose his sisters and leave him behind again. The man catching him had been a fluke and he shouldn't have any false hope. "A daily meeting?"Athena asks curiously snapping him out of his thoughts. "Yes and this one I have to attend, we can play later, why not go see Rei"Cyllene replies standing up. She walked away with hands clasped behind her back, the trio walking out after her splitting up in the main hall. "Hey kiddos!" Rei ran over, and waved to them chuckling when Alyssa and Athena made their way over. "You guys wanna eat some potato mochi from Beni?"Rei asks. "Someone say mochi?" Laventon walked over and smiled. "UNCLE LAV!"Athena beamed running over to him. He laughed and picked her up, tossing her up in the air and catching her.

"Look how big you've gotten, I remember the days where you'd sleep in my office and I'd change your diapers, the Pokemon absolutely loved having you kiddos around the office you know, I might give you guys them!"Laventon chuckles Athena giggling. He stopped and smiled again, Rei looking nervous about the invisible lightbulb that appeared over the mans head. "I'll give you guys the three Pokemon I'm caring for, since I missed your birthday!"Laventon suggests his smile growing. "A Pokemon..."Asante echoes hurrying over with Alyssa. He chuckled and gave him a nod, setting Athena down. "It's about time you three got your own partner's, after all Hisui is more or less dangerous without a pokemon to help you"Rei comments standing beside Laventon now, a smile on his face. "YAY!"Alyssa beamed throwing her hands into the air. "I want to watch this." Adaman walked over and stopped just behind the three kids. "I want to see them choose their first partner"Adaman says crossing his arms.
