Deciding that dad was taking way too long to walk, Calliope doubled back and took his hand with both of hers so she could give him a very necessary tug in the direction.
"Sounds like a real phoenix and flame situation here, dad. Is it old because you play it or are you old because you play it?" It was not a perfect comparison and it really all just boiled down to the consensus that both brought out a certain old vibe. "You also called yourself old, by the way, and went really a round about way of saying yes to my question." The little brunette stopped in front of the various kits on display and sighed wistfully. "You know, dad. A new kit or strings really would help fill the void that The The going off to Hogwarts is creating...don't you think?" Well sorry for not hurrying. Nigel was only...wait how old was he at this point. The math was getting harder every year. Gosh, don't even think he could take credit for how smart she is. Its all Gaia there. When he was five he was lucky not even care about his hair or even have a favorite beanie. Think all he cared about was Batman. "I think it might be both in that scenario"
He opens his mouth and closes it because she was right and he didn't want to admit to being old more than he had to in a day. Especially to a five-year-old. He just smile and shook his head at these negotiation tactics. He looked at the kit and strings and back to her. "Oh is this the only thing you want today because this feels like a slippery slope?"
