"I was cold, so I decided to roll on the sand and warm up," she explained, looking up at Vlad from her spot on the ground. "Or... you could come here and warm me up!"
Akadou lifted her up and patted her head again. "You're getting the hang of it, Kate. But you have to learn to walk on your own and get up when you fall, because we won't always be here," he said matter-of-factly.
Arianna walked over to Akadou and gave him a kiss on the cheek, before planting a kiss on Kate's forehead. "She'll get it sooner or later," Arianna told her husband, giggling.
Izyy pulled Vlad close and said, "Yay! I gots my hubby super duper close!!!"
Akadou smiled at his wife, smiling with his eyes- one of his many charms. "She's a good kid, might just keep her," he joked. "Nah, I wouldn't trade you for the world." He looked at Kate, then Arianna. "Or you."
Erin smiled and hugged back. "I've missed you. I don't know why, but I have missed you. Quite terribly," she admitted quietly.
Arianna smiled at Akadou and said, "You'd better not trade me, or you wouldn't be getting any for a very long time! Trust me, girlie gossip travels very very fast." She kissed him on the lips, then smiled and tickled Kate. "Kate's definitely a daddy's girl, though. I can tell."
