Ritor was laughing with his son in his hands. Occasionally the minotaur tickled the little demon.

Lana, sitting on the sofa knitting a baby hat, smiled. Such a sight would be expected for a human to do, but it was surreal for a ferocious minotaur like Ritor to do it.

Ritor was silent, looking at his son climbing his fur. "Should he become a warrior like me?"
