Aliza did you know your dad used to be much shorter?

Aliza’s brows rocket up as she turns her gaze to her father, who only shrugs.

“not by much. i didn’t gain much size with the mutations, maybe one or two inches. it made my bones thicker, mostly. pain in the ass if i fall in water, but it’s also easier to withstand attacks.”

“Dad, if I can’t say that, neither can you.”

“heh… fine. pain in the grooty.”
