[ packs the essential water bottles & sandwiches in his backpack before he's off, putt putt putting to the fair's designated parking spot. doesn't immediately head for the meeting spot, however, strolling on over the bathroom first to do his business. before he leaves, he takes a moment to poke at some of the misbehaving strands on his head in a slightly disgruntled manner. attempts smoothing the strands down twice, then shakes his head, accepting the catastrophe that had been yesterday's sudden rain shower.

making his way back into the outside world, he ignores the trail of waddling seagulls behind him & begins to lazily walk toward the ticket booth to wait for alyssa & tony. ]

It is bad. [ glances at them both as he shuffles over to stand in the back of the line at the smoothie stand. ] But you know what's even worse? Bad words. It's something that only grumpy adults use. You two aren't grumpy adults, are you?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

Nuh-uh! We're going to be forever young!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Of course you are! That's why you shouldn't use dirty words that old people use, right?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ tugs at his hair when it's their turn to order their smoothies. ]

Aww. . . okay. That's more of daddy's word, anyway.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Exactly! You're so smart.

[ with some miracle he gets his wallet out without dropping eileen, glancing over at the prices and the list of flavors. ]

What kind do you guys want?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ shares a glance with elias. ]

EVERYTHING!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Sure! If you can carry everything by yourself, that is.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

Huh. . . ? You won't help us?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Not if I'm carrying your sister. I might drop her. You don't want that to happen, do you?

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

But you're uncle! You're supposed to be super strong, super smart, and super good at holding me and smoothies!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Maybe if I were Albert I could do all of those things at once... [ glances over his shoulder, making sure nobody else is waiting in line at the moment. ] You should visit him sometime soon.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ tightens his grip on nathan's hand. ]

No! We saw him. . . last month! It hasn't been long enough. . .

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

But he loves you guys so much.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ flails a little in his arms, the corner of her eyes glistening as she nears a near-fit. ]

No! No, we don't want to, uncle! If you love us, you wouldn't force us!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

I guess I can do that much for you. [ adjusts eileen a bit in his arms, looking back and forth between the two. ] As long as you two choose one smoothie each, of course.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

. . . Three each.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

One each.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

But Elly just said three!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I wonder if Albert is gonna call me today. Should I say I'll bring his favorite niece and nephew over after the fair? I'm sure Damon will be okay with this.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ promptly bites him. ]

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

... !

[ yelps in pain, tugging away from elias. ]

Biting isn't allowed!

[ reaches down to pet her brother on the head. ]

It's okay, Elly. I'm not going to cry.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

[ lets go of nathan & studies eileen for a moment. then nods. ]

Then you can have mine.

[prideofbrats.livejournal.com]

You're the best! But it's okay, we can share!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

See? Sharing is caring. [ pauses. ] Or something like that.
