Dream 2 ★ 06/22/2009
"Papa, I got you a present!"
A younger Anise- who doesn't look drastically different from current Anise, but is perhaps a few inches shorter- stands in her family's bedroom in Daath, holding a wrapped present in front of her. Her father is on the bed in front of her, smiling pleasantly- her mother is nowhere to be seen, probably off doing chores.
"Oh, Anise, you didn't have to get me anything..." Oliver pats her on the head and ruffles her hair playfully, taking the present and undoing the bow. Anise giggles and rolls her eyes- her papa always undoes the bow first so that he can save the wrapping paper. "Papa, come on, just open it~!"
Anise's mother Pamela laughs as she enters the room, obviously amused by her daughter's antics. "Come now, Anise, let your father open the present how he likes! It's only a few extra seconds." Anise puffs up her cheeks in mock anger- if it wasn't for her father finally finishing his unwrapping procedures, it's obvious a "Boooooo" would be forthcoming. As it is, she jumps up onto the bed next to her father as he removes the gift from its wrappings, turning it over to get a better look.
"It's a bank!" Anise exclaims, grinning at her father. "Look, see, it has a slot on the top so you can put some Gald in! That way you can save it instead of spending it on things!"
Oliver smiles once more, embracing his daughter. "Thank you, Anise. It's perfect for the Gald we'll all save on this vacation!"
The girl looks up at her father, confused. "...Vacation?"
"Yes!" Oliver's eyes light up, and he begins to talk rather quickly as he always does when vacations are the subject. "You see, your mother and I got this letter in the mail the other day from the Kimlascan Vacation Agency- We got a great deal on a vacation! Only 2000 Gald per day per person, and we get to stay in the finest hotel in Inista for only an extra 60000 Gald total!"
Anise stares at her father, wondering whether she should break it to him that he got scammed again. She looks to her mother for guidance- After all, Pamela can't possibly think this is a good deal!- only to be greeted by a similar smile to that on her father's face.
...She glances back to her father, smiling once more- It's his day, she doesn't want to ruin it. "...Happy Father's Day, papa."
