father to the rescue (cherryblod & lobco)

[justsomeshrimp]

Continued from here

[There's blood. The air becomes thick with it, the smell, something she recognizes all too well. It takes a moment for Lobco to realize what happened, to recognize that her father has already moved, and then the fight speeds along with her.

It seems strange that being rescued is so much more shocking than the predicament that she found herself to begin with--but she had long since stopped calling for help in her life. No one ever came.

When she realizes who it is, however, and that he has sustained an injury she's quick to take up a combative position herself.

The shark that toss to his feet with the sweep of her father's tail--she's quick to race forward and swing her leg with great force towards his head giving it a sharp crack and rendering him unconscious.]

[Lobco does try to help her father calm her mother down and explain especially that it only happened because he protected her. Doloz is indeed Doloz and it takes a bit before she finally settles down (and even then she fusses over them).

In time, things settle and Lobco sets a pot of tea. Her mind is still stuck on what happened and as time passes guilt seems to seep into her more....as well as confusion. It strikes her that other than the injuries her father sustained, she's a little too accepting of what happened, as if it's only something to be expected.

And it is, isn't it?

Lobco would like to think otherwise...perhaps she had become placated since she's finally back home and it's so much better than Pitch World...but it's still not great, is it? There's a lot going through her mind when she goes to check up on Cherryblod, tray with two teacups in hand.]

Father? How's it feeling?

[Doloz is a wonderful woman - she'd have to be, to reform someone like him. She worries, and is a little too protective, but she understands who he is and what he can and will do for his family.

Cherryblod's eternally grateful.

He's lying on the bed when Lobco comes up, but sits up right away.]

Just a bit sore. Nothing to get too worried over.
