From above, the march of the soldiers of the Crystal Emperor and the cries of people are clearly audible, which could not but frighten or lead to sheer fear from which the hair stood on end, and the knees trembled like an ordinary leaf during a light breeze.

Lord Garmadon and Lloyd were currently in the sewers, where it didn’t smell so pleasant and being there was like another flour, but, these two really got used to this whole situation, as if they had lived here for many years. Their light footsteps resounded throughout the area. Two were in a state of tension, especially Garmadon Jr., who once again was afraid to ask / ask for something to Garmadon, he even did not trust his own father a little, but he had to somehow impose it on himself. Looking ahead, Lloyd could clearly feel Garmadon's eyes on him, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out. Lloyd sighed heavily and was already looking around the sewer walls. As they approached the Serpentine library, Lloyd was even a little relieved, while Garmadon looked down the passage a little apprehensively, but continued to follow his son.
Already fully approaching the entrance, a heavy sigh was heard, from which Lloyd twitched slightly, but then came to his senses. Garmadon glanced at Garmadon Jr., and a slightly quiet and unsure Lord's voice could be heard.
"Teach me how to show emotions, um, like 'empathy'?" Garmadon said uncertainly, slightly firm, but without any pressure. He gazed at the green ninja with his red eyes, as if trying to understand his son's emotions. Lloyd hesitated, but swallowing, he began to speak in a cold tone, although he would have gladly spoken to Garmadon affectionately and gently, but the emotions experienced earlier did not allow this to happen, which hurt the boy from the inside. “What are you talking about anyway? Maybe about empathy? Lloyd asked, already looking at his father, his bright green eyes playing with surprise that Garmadon had even dared to start a topic about this at all. Garmadon swept his eyes from head to toe and calmly replied. Yes, about it! I don't understand the meaning of this word, or any of it." The Lord spoke firmly and stared at his son, who in turn was slightly confused. Lloyd looked somewhere to the side, collecting his thoughts and considering how to say it. "Well, empathy is when a being shows concern and understanding for another being when they're in a not-so-good situation or even just like that." Lloyd said slightly confused and was about to turn around towards the library, when he felt that a slightly heavy, but surprisingly warm hand, Garmadon's hand, lay on his shoulder. Garmadon Jr. winced, biting his lip slightly. Garmadon turned his son to him and brought him slightly closer, Garmadon's lips twisted into an incomprehensible smirk that did not express malice or any kind of anger. Lloyd looked into Garmadon's eyes, trying to understand his father's actions. Garmadon suddenly pulled his son towards him and hugged him, his left hand on his back, and his right on Lloyd's waist, lightly squeezing.
Lloyd twitched from not understanding the situation, trying to resist, he could not do anything, his feelings were much more dominant than common sense. The green ninja closed his eyes, burying himself in his father's chest, placing his hands on Garmadon's shoulders. A tired sigh escaped Lloyd's lips. Garmadon smiled warmly. "See, I can show empathy." Garmadon smiled even wider and lowered his head to Lloyd's neck. A slight warmth ran through Lloyd's body, he felt his father's breath on his skin, which was terribly pleasant. Garmadon Jr. himself did not understand why he did not break out of his father's arms, but rather wanted to stay with them much longer, even forever. Lloyd leaned more against his father's powerful chest and relaxed, his legs buckling slightly in a fit of vicious emotion.
After standing like this for about 3 minutes, Lloyd pulled away from Lord Garmadon and looked at him awkwardly. "It is time. The city is collapsing like everything else in Ninjago, and we're here petting." Lloyd said this without anger, but puzzled, so he looked into his father's eyes and turned to the library.
Already there. The green ninja wrote a message from the serpentines on the board to help Ninjago City at this difficult time. A slight sigh and Lloyd Garmadon approached his father, looking puzzled. "We can go." Lloyd grunted a little wearily, and looking into Garmadon's red eyes, even finding something attractive in them, Lloyd flinched at such thoughts. Garmadon managed a smirk. "Great." Lord Garmadon spoke briefly and approached Lloyd, studying the green ninja's face with his eyes. The same smirk was still on Garmadon's lips, which was slightly annoying, but not the point. The lord gently placed his thumb on the boy's lower lip, causing him to be in a slight stupor that he didn't even resist. Again, that same snide smile of Garmadon. Lloyd looked at his father in confusion with a slightly raised eyebrow. "Father?" Before he could say anything else, Lloyd felt Garmadon's powerful arms go down to his waist and plant his hips on the table, Garmadon moved to face Lloyd, looking at him tenderly. "You sure like the way I show 'sleepfeeling', don't you?" Lord Garmadon chuckled and brought his lips to his son's sweet lips, kissing him gently, without any rudeness or malice. A light gentle kiss, relaxed the two. Lloyd, of course, hesitated, but answered his father, timidly and with special kindness, he returned the kiss.
The kiss did not last long, but it brought great relaxation to the two in this creepy atmosphere. Lord Garmadon reluctantly pulled away from Lloyd and looked at his son with a smile, who in turn was in a mild ecstasy. Lloyd woke up from this state and looked awkwardly at Garmadon, his pupils darting around the library. A warm embarrassment and a slight tingle came up to Lloyd's cheeks, which made him very, very pleasant again. Garmadon noticed this and kissed the green ninja on the top of his head, breathing warm heavy breath on him that caressed his son's entire body. Lord Garmadon was a little embarrassed himself, but the warm and loving smile was still on his face. “Come on, we don’t want to leave Ninjago City in total destruction. And by the way, you have very soft lips.” Lord Garmadon said this and extended his hand to Lloyd to help him off the table. Lloyd nodded, his gaze changing from cold to affectionate and gentle towards Garmadon, which was very surprising. Leaving the library, they set off on their way.
