Mortal Kombat Ages: Baptism Of Ice

"Yes, Dada." He confirms with a nod before sitting up. Hei Bing hugged his father. Their food should be arriving soon. At least the Grandmaster's food will be arriving. He holds onto his father tightly, and with practiced breath control. His focus is top notch right now. "Dada, I want to help out the village after my chores, and morning training." He says. His diligence knows no bounds. The joy he sees from the villagers he aids is joyous to him.

In the mornings he eats, then goes about his advanced training courses. At this point he could train on his own, but he always insists he continues working with a teacher, and training with a group. As the son of the Grandmaster, he will either have the least or most chores. Hei Bing will do many chores, and do them right. Then assist those of his class with their chores. He does it all with a smile. Now after all that, he normally is forced to stop for lunch and take a nap. So, really he's asking if he can delay nap time to help others.

Now, see...where other parents may well see that as a wonderfully altruistic thing for a boy to say, Kuai Liang was actually aware of the hidden meaning.

"In other words..." The grandmaster hummed with a chiding bounce "You want to skip your nap time?"

And though there was no anger in Kuai Liang's features--there couldn't be, not at a young baby--he made no effort to disguise the note of disappointment in his tone.

"That might not be a very responsible thing for Dada's baby now, would it?" He hummed with a pat to Hei Bing's bottom "Especially not after such a big day yesterday? You know how you are without your nap; you can be rather fussy..."

"Yes, Dada. I'm sorry, I had ulterior motives." He says. "But I do want to help out around. What if nap time was shortened today, and I got to help out afterwards. That way everyone will not be packing up for the day around dusk." He attempts to barter with his father. Let nobody say that Hei Bing is not both humble and strong willed. He plants more icey kisses upon his fathers cheeks before burying his face in his Dada's neck.

One thing he definitely liked was the acknowledgement. His father called him Dada's Baby and that made him want to regurgitate the butterflies that must have been ingested at some point or another. He blushes with his delicate complexion turning red just from the thought of it. Acknowledgement, particularly in a cute manner humbles him immensely. Pet names also cause this reaction. It is quite a swift way to get his attention as Kui Liang had just displayed this morning.

Soon there was a knock before a door was slightly slid open. A tray was placed down for food and drink that the Grandmaster's cook have made for his meal this morning. Along with whatever he would have requested. Hei Bing nestles him ready for food, and to continue the conversation about today's schedule adjustments. He is nothing if not persistent.
