[closed] star light star bright, the first star I see tonight

Date & Time: Jan 31 to Feb 1 (backdated)
Location: Apartmemt 701
Characters: Kratos Aurion, Lloyd Irving
Summary: The final day of the time mishaps involves stargazing, lullabies and a very awkward morning.
Warnings: May induce cavities.

To call this week miraculous would be an understatement. Maybe this whole time thing is odd, maybe it wouldn't last, but it didn't really matter. This time with his son, with his precious son, has been amazing. All of the despair from the beginning of the week had nearly vanished. Yes, Anna had died, yes, he still had to tell that to Lloyd, yet right now, just for now, he allowed himself to enjoy this week.

Even this present moment feels wonderful. Standing near the open window with Lloyd on his shoulders as the boy asks him various things about the stars. Simply and positively perfect. Though Kratos can't help but wish Lloyd would stop tugging on his hair that hard. He winces as one tug feels as though it nearly resulted in a bald spot. 4000 years and no baldness yet 5 minutes with a toddler on your back might do the trick.

"Lloyd, I believe I've told you to not pull so hard on my hair." He tries to keep his tone of voice soft and succeeds well enough. Asking for the hair pulling to stop completely proved pointless so the best one could hope for is not having bald spots.
