“What’s my favorite color?”
“Navy blue,” answered Eledu. He was lying on the picnic blanket, head resting on Gwyndir’s knee as their daughter quizzed him.
“And… what’s my favorite animal?”
“Squirrel,” answered Eledu without blinking an eye.
“What about…” Fauneth narrowed her eyes in deep concentration. “What about your favorite animal?”
“You tell me,” he challenged as Gwyndir stroked his forehead.
“Kitties?”
Eledu shook his head slowly. “Nope.”
“Puppies?”
“Wrong again.”
“Tell me!” Fauneth teasingly tickled at her father’s feet. He flinched and chuckled.
“Deer, my little deer! Because I love my little Fawn and my Gwyn-deer most of all.”
