Zuko widened his big eyes, adorably lost.
"Daddy will bathe with you today. We'll skip the basin. We're showering standing up!"
"Huh?" Cordelia was surprised. "No way, this—"
Before she could stop them, Zephyr took their son into the bathroom with a long stride and locked the door.
Cordelia could only be anxious outside.
A while later, the sound of water running could be heard from the inside. In the beginning, Zuko did not seem to be used to it and whined and cried a little. Zephyr coaxed him with the unique ways of a stern father.
"Kid, are you a man? You're scared of this little splashing?
"It's just washing your head. What are you crying about!?
"Zuko Hamerton, one more whine and no milk after your shower!"
Cordelia's heart clenched with anger, and she wished she could rush in and beat a certain someone up!
Soon enough, Zuko stopped crying, and she could hear giggles from inside the bathroom. Suddenly…
"Argh!" Zephyr shouted, startling Cordelia.
Unable to hold herself back any longer, she pounded on the door.
"Darling, what's wrong? Did our son fall?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the bathroom door rattled open, and Zephyr, wrapped in a bath towel, stormed out with a dark expression.
"Honey?" Cordelia widened her eyes, seeing that something was not right with his expression. "What's going on?"
"It's nothing. This little fella, while I was washing his hair... he pulled me!"
