Daughters.
Namor allowed Kassia to rest while he waited for Marinna and considered his plan. The idea he'd come up with was a more cunning plan than any other he'd ever engineered, and it was worth mentioning that he considered not following through upon it for Kassia's sake. She'd been hurt enough as it was, and he'd lost enough time with her. What time was there to waste upon vengeance on the one responsible for taking her from him? Perhaps it would be best to let bygones be bygones and allow Kassia's mother to live with the knowledge that Namor could strike at any time, and never know when or how the day was coming.

But if Emma Frost possessed even THAT scant knowledge, she would attack him first, likely with Shaw's aid.

And Namor's decision was made.

"Paras, you are to arrange a meeting with Victor Von Doom for me, to take place after my meeting with Marinna. Neither of us need travel; I will speak with him from the war room. Word of this is not to be breathed to anyone, not even Marinna. Are we clear?" he says.

"Yes, my King. And speaking of the Princess...she has arrived." Paras says.

"Usher her to me, then leave us." Namor says, sitting down upon the throne.

When the summons had arrived (an Atlantean ship showing on Canada's shore tended to get a lot of attention), Marrina had been confused, and had only become more so when informed that she was needed for a matter of the blood.

But she had come. He was family, her father (not that Dan Smallwood was not also her father, in ever way which mattered), and he needed her. That was enough.

It had taken far too much time to convince Mason that his coming along was not a good idea. Whatever it was was too important to worry about what might happen to her boyfriend.

She was ushered into the throne room. "Hello, Father," she said. "Your messenger said... you needed me?"

"Marinna." Namor breathed the word as though it were as sacred as Neputune's own and for Namor, it was. She looked so much like her mother that it made his heart ache at times to gaze upon her. However, he smiled rose from his throne, walking over to envelope her in a hug.

"I have missed you, though I know it has not been long since you last left." he says, releasing her to look into her eyes. His expression somber and pensive, as though he might be about to give her news that might anger her.

For all he knew, it would.

"Yes, I am glad you game. I...have become aware, through recent events, that we have an addition to our family. My daughter Kassia, your sister. I hope you will not be angry with me for not telling you sooner, but I honestly didn't know. Marinna, she was stolen from me when she was a little girl. She is a couple of years younger than yourself, but has spent her life on the surface, like you.

I understand if you're angry, but I've asked you to come home because she is in danger, and...I would ask a boon of you." he says.

"I need you to keep your sister safe until I can stop those who intend to drag her back to the life she previously led. She is here, now, and I would like you two to meet. Will you agree to see her?" he asks.

Namor's hugs are strong and firm, the hugs of a man who feels the need to hold on, lest she slip through his fingers again. He was trying so hard, Marrina knew, to make-up for lost time.

"A sister?" she asked, surprised, but not largely. She knew Namor had loved many women. Dorma, her mother, others. It was only logical to think that there were others. Even if, for a moment, it hurt to think she was a little less unique.

But the story Namor tells is a sad one, and Marrina can't help but feel for him. So much tragedy in his life. A loss of people again and again, love ones torn from him at every turn, and now, daughters he had never known or lost...

"I'm not angry," she assured him. "There's nothing for me to be angry about."

"I will," she said.

Namor let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"Very well." he says. He closes his eyes and concentrates for a moment, reaching out to Kassia.

Come and meet your sister and sovereign, my dear. he projects to her.

She had been waiting just outside the room, hidden behind a curtain so that none would see her who already had not. The wait was long and nearly intolerable for her. Kassia was nervous. She was meeting her sovereign and other than her father (and that many years ago) she had never been in such a situation. She was so far removed from this world and it was something she was acutely aware of . She was also going to be leaving Atlantis. Leaving her father again. It hurt. She tried to be brave.

That Marrina was her sister, that was the part least scary of all.

Quietly, Kassia stepped out.

"I'm here, Daddy." Her hands folded in front of her she was careful not to stand too close to Namor, her head bowed slightly, recalling that those without claim or standing were not allowed in the formal presence of the King.

"Kassia, this is your sister and Princess, Marinna." Namor says warmly, trying to encourage the girl to look to her sister.

"Marinna, this is your younger sister, Kassia." he says, stepping from between them.

Marrina smiled slightly, momentarily jealous that Kassia looked so much more human than she did. With her ears and eyes, not to mention the webbing, she was more obviously different, but the thought passed quickly.

"Hello," she said. "It's nice to meet you." She stepped forward for a moment, to try for a small hug.

Kassia, looked up at her father and then with his encouragement looked towards Marrina.

"Hi!"

There was no hesitation when hug was offered; the younger of the McKenzie sisters gladly hugged the elder one.

"You have cool hair."

Namor says nothing, only smiling as his daughters get to know each other.

She smiled at that. "Thanks," she said. "It's natural too. No dyes or anything."

"Your hair is nice," Marrina assured her. "Mine's more trouble than its worth sometimes."

Another smile. "I do. My mom bakes some of the best cookies in the universe."

Kassia's eyes go wide.

"Really? I love cookies. You have no idea. I could eat them all day, every day. I even used to make Daddy eat them."

"I'll take you to see her," she promised, before giggling. She cut it off quickly. "Really? You made him eat them?"

"I made him sit at children's table and have tea parties with me, too. He sat to the left of Lord Bear-Bear. Of course...my mother took me away from him so it has been a very long time since he's had a cookie."

"You knew him, when you were a child?" She was surprised by that. "I... I only came into his life recently."

Kassia's face falls sadly for a moment.

"I knew my father until I was four. He kept me hidden as he could not claim me, but he visited when he could. My mother and he fought one afternoon, though and she took me away from him and made him forget I existed. So much so that when I came here a few days ago...he was angry that I was not you."

"I'm sorry," Marrina said, pulling her sister into another hug.

"It isn't your fault." She hugged her tightly. "And everything is fine now. I have my father back. And I have a new sister! Dad says I am to go with you."

"Ah, Kassia, let's not get ahead of ourselves. We must talk to Marinna first." he says gently, before looking at her.

"Marinna, I don't want to impose on your life, but Kassia could be in real danger here as long as I have not wholly rooted the corruption from my court. Add her mother's machinations to the fire and...I think she would be safer with you, for a time.

When it is time for her to return, I will come and retrieve her, and we will take the time to bond as a family, you, your sister, myself and your cousins." he says.

"Can I ask this favor of you?"

Marrina listened attentively as Namor spoke. It was a complicated situation, to say the least. But he was trusting her with it. As her father and, yes, her king too, she couldn't let him down.

"You don't even have to ask," she said. "I'll do it. Gladly."

"Daddy...you'll call us, won't you?" She takes her sister's hand. There is an excitement about going with her sister...but a sadness about losing her father already.

"I will contact you as often as possible, Kassia. Now, remember, your sister is your sovereign and she speaks with my authority. You are to heed her and do nothing that will make it difficult to keep you safe.

When it is safe for you to come home, I will come for you as soon as possible. Take care of your sister, my little Maiden." he says.

He looks to Marinna with a smile. "Thank you again, Marinna. You've allowed us both into your heart without reservation, and I truly appreciate the kindness you've shown Kassia. I know you will take care of her. Have a cookie or two for me, both of you." he says, moving to hug them both.

"I will see you both as soon as I can." he says.

Marrina held him tightly for a moment. "I won't let you down," she promised.

This was going to take some explaining back home... but she knew she could think of something.

"I love you, Dad." Please don't forget about me...

She hugged her father tightly, reluctant to let go but she did at last, forcing herself not to cry as she pulled back and again grasp her sister's hand. It was a whole new world now.
