"Yeah, I guess. I mean, luckily I didn't forget to wear underwear...which I've done...numerous times....."
She smiled at the sight of the icecream and instantly began to devour it.
"Thank you!"

He smiled back and began to eat his own ice cream. He spilled a little bit on his left arm, and it began to suddenly vibrate. "Osik!"
-
"Father! You shouldn't spill liquids on your...robotic...arm....I mean, what? Why...uhh....Why is that vibrating?" She cleared her throat and looked down.
-
He pulled his glove off to wipe the ice cream off his arm, which was indeed robotic. "They told me it was supposed to be water proof..." He sighed.
-
"Well, should've got it from JT. Only the highest of quality from him." She kept eating quickly, getting a brain freeze multiple times.
-
"Wait... How did you know my arm was... And you weren't surprised?" He asked, confused.
-
"With your line of work it honestly wasn't a surprise and of course I knew. I'm still a walking weapon of mass destruction after all." She finished up her cone with a happy sigh. "That was great!"
-
Cannon smiled and finished his own ice cream. "Yeah. And thanks for not freaking out about my arm..."
-
"Mhmm....So! Happier things! I wonder where mo-I mean, I...uhh....f*ck....Wait! Sorry! I didn't mean to swear! I just...!" Traci began to freak out, but just ends up sighing.
-
Cannon shook his head, a small frown begining to form as he sighed. "It's fine." It clearly wasn't fine.
-
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! Umm! Uhh! Puppies! Who doesn't smile at puppies?! They're so adorable and furry and cute and adorable and furry...and cute....Hehehe...?" She nervously laughed at the end of her rambling, attempting to distract.
-
His mood was already damaged, and for a second she could see his façade of happiness slip and show just how much pain he was in. And then it was gone, back to lying and saying he was fine.
-
"Father....You're upset. Now look who's lying." She frowns and hugs him tightly again. "It's okay....It'll be alright. We'll be a big happy family again in no time!"
-
He hugged back, taking a deep breath. "I really hope you're right, Traci. You have no idea how much this whole mess hurts..."
-
Her father didn't notice it, but the last comment angered Traci greatly. She kept it hidden however and simply patted him on the back reassuringly. "Every little thing is gonna be alright, father."
-
He smiled slightly. "You're right. I'm sure everything will turn out fine... Thanks for sticking by me, ad'ika."
-
"Anything for you, father. I'm just happy you're not still upset. I can't bare to see people not smiling and being happy." She lets go and smiles back at him.
-
"Well, it's hard to be upset with a daughter as awesome as you... How are you holding up with all this?" He asked, looking her in the eye to make sure she didn't lie to him.
-
She sighs and looks down at the ground. "I just want to be a family again." A single tear runs gently down her cheek.
-
This time it was his turn to comfort her, and he tightened the hug. "We will be, ad'ika. I promise." He hoped extremely hard that he could keep the promise.
-
"You and mom are just...so unhappy now...." She sniffled and tried to fake a smile. "L-Lets try to be more happy."
-
"You're right. Sorry I've been a downer recently." He attempted a joke.
-
"Yeah, but that's not your fault." She grinned slightly and truthfully this time. "Mom has also been doing some rather...questionable things...."
-
His smile disintegrated. "What do you mean?"
-
"NO! You stopped smiling...." She sighed in defeat. "Well...she never takes her braids out, you know? And...well...now? Now she never keeps them in and she's weirdly way more mature looking and acts a bit more mature too. I want my normal mother back."
-
Cannon didn't know all what this meant, but it felt like a punch to the gut. He slumped back with a heavy sigh, feeling more hurt and broken than he'd ever felt since he'd almost lost Iso to WM.
