══════════════════ Lily had barely managed to slow down by the time they had finally arrived. Zhu was only just managed to look a bit less messy at that. The ringing bell brought him out from the kitchen as a small yellow ball zoomed its way past him and to the door yelling
"They're here!" over and over that he doubted wasn't heard beyond the wooden barrier that barely contained the child on a good day. Zhu did managed to reach it in time to be the one to open it rather than letting her swing it open and of course there they were.
"你好.." "嗨!嗨!嗨!嗨!" waving happily to both Des and his mother. She did hope she wouldn't mess up and Two...was sure it would be fine. He would gently tap his daughter's head to tell her to calm down but that was futile the moment she was presented with a gift. She would gasp as she looked down at the bright yellow box
"Oooooh~!" taking it gently from the boy
"哎呀! Its so pretty!" though she had no idea why she was being given something like this. Her surprise was even more immense as she opened it up and saw even more rocks and some new art supplies. She almost dropped it but managed to save it and instead hugged both Des and Nico
"Thank you!" "Ah. Thank you." Two added in closing the door behind them. It was very kind of them. He had to admit to was nice seeing his daughter with such a kind friend.
Lily was practically bouncing with excitement
"Oh! I got new toys come see come see!" figuring it was time to get the party started she started towards her room to show her friend her stuff they could play with.
Two would sigh watching her zoom past
"Thank you." he'd say again
"Make yourself comfortable. Have you eaten?" he asked. He did seem a bit more relaxed having grown comfortable with the presence of Nico since they seemed to meet up a lot more than normal. He moved towards the kitchen. He figured she would also like to see what was for lunch as well.
