"Ellie… That is a very pretty name."
Kiernan said with a soft voice, and crouched before the little girl, who acted very shyly, and averted his gaze.
'…He kind of looks like dad…'
Ellie thought.
Kiernan, after ten years in Dead World, had changed in the looks department, as he had grown to look more mature.
He stil had the same handsome features that he was famously known for, but he had shed all his youth from his face.
It took all of Kiernan's willpower to not hug her immediately, but he didn't do that because it would scare her.
She didn't know who he was, and if he went with, "Hi, I am your dad, who should be dead," she would think he was a crazy stranger.
"What are you looking at?"
Kiernan asked.
"Fish…"
Ellie mumbled, but she then looked at the flying ship and asked curiously.
"How does that ship fly?"
"Haha, I actually don't know, it just does. Maybe the ship prefers the air more than the sea."
Kiernan said with a smile.
"Mmh… Why are you looking for mom?"
