Chapter 81: Growth of both the Farm and Kalia --- So, just fyi, the worlds time and season cycle is 6 months a season, 4 seasons, each month being 40 days; means that a 'year' has 24 months... Long, long time lol, but also rather interesting to work with, so yeah... Might lower that to 5, but think I'll keep it and use that 'time' to have more SoL Chapters or just pure smuttery~ Don't worry though, it won't drag on for long; likely a good 15-20 Chapters, maybe even less depending on my mood. Remember, Geard forest is like a 'starter' zone; monsters are weak, and currently Rhefia, Aethisia, and Yiksa out level everything by a lot; Camara and Astra by a decent bit as well. So it'll be calm-ish, with lots of room for everyone to meet Kalia, witness some more juicy lemons, and read about Astra improving her skills slowly by surely~ --- The next day progressed much the same, but instead of Camara I had Aethisia remain with me at home, the taller Deerkin clearing out more space for us to use for the farm. When she decided to take a break, Aethisia looked after Kalia, who had grown a little more over night; she was now able to walk around, and her high pitched, yet melodic voice was enough to make my heart melt. "Mama~!" Waddling over to me, the small Dark Elf grinned as I lifted her into my arms, having finished planting some more crops; with the discussion nights prior about winter, I wanted to gather as much grain as I possibly could, to store more and more food for this growing family. With Kalia now in my arms, I returned her grin as we rubbed our noses together, the young girl giggling as she nuzzled into my embrace. "Were you a good girl, Kalia~?" She nodded, her pink eyes wide as she turned around, causing her long pink hair to flutter about. "I good! Right sister?" As a week passed by, I slowly expanded my farm, chuckling at how it seemed to match the growth of Kalia. She was growing gradually, her height increasing each day alongside her appetite, as well as her intellect. Ever since she was able to reliably walk around, Kalia was constantly exploring and asking questions, wanting to know what everything was, how to use it, why it was used, what it was made of... If you could think of it, she asked it as a question. And, her favorite thing to ask about were the plants growing in my large farm, and whenever I was outside, she was sitting beside me, watching on as I worked. I had allowed her to start her own garden, giving her some seeds, a waterskin, and some dulled, safer wooden tools to start planting her own things. All of us would watch her tend to the small garden in awe, wondering how a young child could be so delicate and almost professional with her craft. Of course, I knew that I had given her the {Farmer} skill, but now I knew that the skill seemed to impact their personality and likes, meaning... Technically, I could hand pick what my children liked, which was both amazing and disheartening. It was amazing because I was setting them up for success, giving them the skills they needed to do something they would love extremely well. The problem that disheartened me was the fact that I was the one to choose their interests, not them... I wanted Kalia to love more than what I preordained her to love, but I would only be able to see if she found something else she wanted over these long, grueling months of winter. Maybe she would want to take the crops she grew and prepare meals with them? Maybe she wanted to grow something like cotton and create something from that? Or maybe her other interest would be random, like carving wooden blocks... Only time would tell, and currently, time was something she had in abundance.
