"Mommy, look! I found a flower!"

"Of course you did sweetheart."

"Mommy?"

"Hmm?"

"When Daddy comes back, can I give this to him?"

"Daddy might be gone for a really long time sweetheart."

"Oh. But..."

"Tell you what. If Daddy comes back, I'll get you more than one flower."

"But aren't dragons the bad guys, Your Royal Highness?"

"You and Daddy can protect me!"
