[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.]

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?
