Compound: Daddy Daughter Time

* Sitting on one of the mats in the compounds gym, Carys tied her shoe and looked around. It had been very quiet lately and, most days she had the place to herself. She started to stand when she heard the doors open. Looking over her shoulder she smiled . Her Father Sterling Chase walked in. It had been a while since she had talked to him, with him being busy with Order business. She stood, jogging to meet him halfway across the room. She hugged him tight, not realizing she had missed him so much.* Dad..Daddy, it's good to see you.

  • Sterling Chase *Smiling at the sight of his daughter, he wrapped her tight in his arms and spun her around in a circle before glancing down and grunting with disapproval over the length of her gym shorts* It's good to see you too, Dolly, but must there be so much of you to view? *Gently setting her back on the matted floor before allowing himself a quick and reassuring scan of the training room to ensure they were the only two inside*

  • Carys Chase Dad, really? * Standing straight she held her arms at her sides, her fingertips just meeting the hem of her shorts.* It's not like I'm in my underware, besides, I'm usually by myself when i'm down here. She smiled up at her father and looped her arm through his.* So, now that we have discussed my wardrobe and I got the look..To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing my daddy today?

  • Sterling Chase *Stifling a growl as he became fully aware that there was no chance for him in the battle of the fabric with his beloved daughter* I thought, since I have been so swamped with work, that I would steal a few moments to spend with my family *smiling again as Carys squeezed his arm* You want to show your old man what you've been working on in here?

  • Carys Chase Yes! OMG! Daddy. Jax gave me one of his Shurikin to practice with! * Hurrying over to her gym bag she opened it and took the star from the leather pouch she kept it in. She turned and handed to her father and pointed to the target on the wall. There were some marks in it but more on the wall around it. * I've been working with it and some of the moves you and Aric showed me.

  • Sterling Chase *Nodding with approval and fueled by her excitement, he handed the star back to her and stepped aside* Let's see it, Dolly. If I know anything about my own little one, I know there has been no shortage of practice and determination *feeling proud at the thought* Just like the true Chase that she is.

  • Carys Chase * Carys beamed at her fathers praise. Taking the star she walked over to the tape mark on the floor. Jax had given her three distances to practice throwing the star from. She eyed the target and took a deep breath. With a flick of her wrist she sent it through the air to hit the edge of the target. * I can usually get it closer. Jax makes it look so easy.

  • Sterling Chase *Clapping as he noted the work she had done* That's not a bad start, Carys. Try lining your elbow up with the top center of your target. The star should drop just slightly once you release it. As with anything, calm your nerves and let your body's natural rhythm guide you as when to throw *leading her by the shoulders back to the tape line* Now, try again.

  • Carys Chase * Nodding, she turned and faced the target. Doing as her father said, she threw the star again, this time hitting the top ring of the target. Squealing, she hopped up and down and burst out laughing when her father arched a brow at her. * Yeah, most warriors don't do the squealing happy thing in training do they, daddy?

  • Sterling Chase I vaguely remember hearing Kade do it once or twice, but we're all suspicious he learned it from Niko so, I guess it's safe to say the squealing part is not a common occurrence *loving the joy and happiness that radiated from her* but in this case, I believe it's fully warranted. *Smiling as she twirled around* Don't suppose you're too old to be seen eating an ice cream sundae with your Daddy, are you?

  • Carys Chase Never to old for ice cream, or my daddy's company. * She retrieved the star and put it back into the leather pouch and into her gym bag. Gathering her things she hurried back to her fathers side and again looped her arm through his. She was happy he was there with her, still beaming from his praise and, anything with sprinkles on it would only make the day better.*
