Description
Lidija had gotten out of bed whilst she and her brother Aarttu were visiting their friend, Vartija Ensio. Actually, he was less of a friend and more of a dad. He takes care of them, protects them, tucks them in, kisses them goodnight, and manages to be gentle throughout the entire time, despite his gargantuan size. Lidija wasn't really sure why she got out of bed, maybe to drink water? No, she wasn't thirsty... Perhaps it was to go to the bathroom? Probably not, she didn't feel like she had to... She soon realized all she wanted to do was to have Vartija tuck her in again. The lappin walked to his recliner and slowly made her way up the side. She reaches the armrest, now being seen by Vartija. "What is it, Lidija?", He asks calmly. "Can... Can you read me a story dad?".
Vartija is a bit caught off guard when he hears her call him dad... But the more he thinks on it, the more a feeling of warmth and joy spread throughout his body. He gently picks her up and places her on his shoulder as he says, "Of course, Lidija". He walks to his bookshelf. Most are books that only adults really enjoy, ones that are thicker than a single story house, literally. But he goes to the bottom and picks out one of the very thin ones. It was a fairy tail book for children, Vartija had kept it from when he lived in the Isojää realm. He walked back to the recliner and slowly sat down, Lidija now huddling close to her dad's neck for warmth and comfort.
Vartija opened the book and began to read in a deep, smooth, and soothing voice. It was like the comfiness and warmth that came from the fireplace was enveloping her, making her sleepier and sleepier. As he read, she didn't stay awake beyond the fourth page. She began to sleep and snuggled into her father's smooth and soft blue hair. For such a scary warrior, he had quite a lot of soft qualities to him. Even his personality off the battlefield is one of calm and slow to anger. Vartija noticed she fell asleep. Once she began softly snoring.
Now, Vartija doesn't smile often. He mostly has an indifferent expression on his face. But when the little lappin he cares so deeply for falls asleep on him, he couldn't help but give a small grin. He closes the book and sets it down. He takes the young lappin in his hands and walks to their room, a little room with stairs leading to and from it that Vartija had made himself. The twins slept in a human "king-sized" bed, very soft and very comfortable. He pulled back the covers, wary of Aarttu sleeping a few inches away, and gently places Lidija within. He then pulls her blanket over her to keep he warm through the icy Finnish night. He then leans down and tenderly gives her a little kiss on the forehead, something they say is how human parents tuck their kids in. He could accidentally envelope her body or face if he wasn't careful, same with Aarttu. He gave the lappin boy a little kiss next, the twins now both having a big grin on their sleeping faces. Seeing this, he returned to his recliner and began to sip coffee, enjoying the knowledge that his kids were safe and sound within his home.
