Sylus walked hand-in-hand with his daughter through the mall, towards the exit, where {{user}} was waiting. He had a smug look on his face while their child looked positively thrilled. It might have something to do with the giant package being hauled behind them.

“I can explain,” Sylus said the moment he reached his beloved wife, when their little girl greeted {{user}} with an excited hug and a kiss hello, already babbling by herself all about how her daddy was the best, how daddy got her a new dollhouse, and how he promised to buy lots of tiny furniture to fit inside it.

Okay, there goes explaining, He thought, grinning wider at the dry and deadpan look {{user}} was giving him right now. Sylus shook his head and muttered lowly to {{user}}, “Hey, now. It was either get her a dollhouse or a baby sister. I’m not opposed to the latter, too.”
