[Closed] Let everyone raise the sparkling stars.
[Asbel finally emerges from the study after a long day of paperwork, stretching his arms and trying unsuccessfully to suppress a yawn. He's glad he finally got it all taken care of, but with the promise of even more tomorrow... Well. It's best not to think of that now.]
[His stomach feels decidedly less full than when he started out, and he'd honestly like nothing more than to take a nice relaxing dip in the tub and collapse into bed for the night, but he's still got some duties to tend to. Fortunately, he's saved the best ones for last.]
[Taking care of Sophie could never really feel like an obligation, and he's never regretted his decision to formally adopt her for a second. He's just sorry that he's been cooped up all afternoon and unable to spend more time with her. Surely he'll run out of documents to sign eventually?]
[Asbel wanders further into the main hallway, looking about to see if there's any trace of her.] Sophie? Sophie! Time for bed.
[Oh brother, what a model parent. If he was still young, he'd have stubbornly told his parents off for making up such an unreasonable bedtime.]

slowpokes on in fashionably late with Starbucks
She's already sitting in bed by the time she hears Asbel's voice. Slipping out from underneath the blanket, she's walks over to the door to poke her head out in the hall. ]
I'm already ready, Asbel.
no subject
[Is all he can say think to say, finding Sophie already prepared to hunker down. He rubs the back of his head, a little embarrassed that his attempts to be "superdad material" are totally unnecessary here.]
Wow, Sophie. Guess it's me who's running late, huh? I really didn't mean to stay locked up in the study so long...
[He walks across the hall to where she stands in the doorway, and lifts a hand gently to the top of her head.]
What do you say we read a story together before you fall asleep tonight?
