What's The Optimal Number Of Dads? My New Double Little Sister Weighs In On The Matter! [closed]

Magnus has a huge agenda planned for his Magnus-and-Sunny time today. Not riding Drosera, sadly, but he thinks probably the dads should be there at least at the beginning. And maybe Galahad too, since they found it for her together, even though that's maybe a little awkward, socially. But there's plenty of other big plans!

After lunch (with Sagramore and Laertes, too, of course), he takes Sunny exploring in some new rooms he and Galahad recently discovered in the basement, because they're (literally, temperature-wise) cool and he's noticed she can get overheated on hotter summer days. Then, he takes her deep into the woods to show her the secret garden he and Claudius have almost finished from Hanguang-jun, since she's great at keeping secrets and has unparalleled excellence of opinion. Finally, and with her consent, he puts her in a baby-backpack he found, and starts climbing the tallest tree in the entire forest, as high up as he can trust will hold them both. It's no Yggdrasil, but it is tall enough that they can look out over the tops of a lot of the other trees and see pretty much their entire world - the lake and her house stretching out to the left, the leaf-obscured path to his and Alex's camp in front of them, and the shining endless sea to the right.

"The deal is either I hold you or you're attached to the branch with a harness," Magnus warns, once he gets a sense of just how far down the ground is. "Just to be safe. Or else we climb down halfway. Okay?"
