"Ivy dear," Lysandra said in a warm, affectionate tone, "can you go wake the kids up? I have something important to talk about with your Onii-Chan…"
Ivy nodded quickly, her pointy ears twitching shyly. "Okay…" she replied softly. She slipped off Aiden's lap with a little reluctance, her small hands smoothing down her mini skirt. The black thigh-high stockings with their delicate garter straps and compass charm rustled faintly as she walked toward the doorway, her oversized cardigan slipping further off one shoulder. She glanced back once, cheeks still pink, before disappearing down the hallway to go wake Leona, Liri, and Noir.
Once the little goblin sister was gone, the living room felt noticeably more private. Aiden turned his full attention to Lysandra, a playful, teasing grin spreading across his face. He reached out and gently pressed his finger against her nose, rubbing it in slow circles just like he had done with Ivy earlier.
