[ after albert and brianna declared their plans to go out on a date for the rest of the evening, she took it upon herself to personally watch lyssa until they returned home, despite her former plans with her boyfriend. it's with that change (and realization of what she did at the very last moment) that she calls up caleb to tell him the news, sounding disappointed until she gleefully casually suggested that he come over to help. after some convincing that yes, albert won't be here and yes, she'll wait for him by the door, is done and over with, she happily skips down the stairs after telling lyssa's personal ninja butler that she'll be back shortly.

plops down on the second to last step of the stairs while happily swaying and humming to herself, her eyes planted on the doorway to wait for caleb to enter. ]

[ fingers twitch as if they itch. wiggles away for a moment before twining their fingers together. ]

Is family thing? Gee. . . genetics!

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ beams and nods. ]

Genetics! Very good.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Sister too? Everyone have?

[childsized.livejournal.com]

I think so... [ is silent for a moment, and then: ] Maybe I'll show you the album we have of us when we were all growing up. It's not your traditional kind, but you'll get to see me and the others as babies.

[ jerks, almost as if to sit up. seems to abort the motion at the last minute, however, just barely keeping himself from bucking nathania & the baby off of him. ]

Ja, ja! I want to see! Bitte!!

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ rolls her eyes up to the ceiling in thought (albert isn't around, so maybe...) before she decides to just do it, grinning and standing up before nodding down at him. ]

I think I can show it to you now, but I'll have to bring it to you. Wait right here, okay?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ stares down at the baby still on his chest & puts a steadying hand on his back, holding him close. ]

I wait with baby. We wait!

[ gives another stupid smile down at them both, reaching to stroke lyssa's hair one more time before taking her leave. hums a happy but nameless tune on her way to albert's study, skipping a little bit in the process. stops once she's in front of the door, cautiously peeking inside to see if the creeper was anywhere to be seen (you never know). when the coast seems clear she sneaks on in, tip-toeing over to the bookshelf where she knows he keeps the album.

nabs it and opens it to look it over a little, nodding once before turning back around to exit the study. ]

[ but of course, right in the entrance/exit of the study, stands the creeper big brother. raising an eyebrow. ]

If you are looking for valuables to steal, your own room may possess more than my study.

[ first reaction: SHRIEKS. ]

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ after the surprise has worn off, she stands there for a moment in silence. slowly wraps arms around the album. ]

I'm not stealing... just borrowing.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ just lets nathania do her shrieking thing while casually taking up the entire doorway. ]

Without asking?

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ tucks the item underneath an arm. ]

Aren't I always welcome to take anything I want from your study? I mean, you've got a lot of books, and knowledge is power...

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ eying it. ]

Of course. Provided that I am informed first.

[childsized.livejournal.com]

Hmph. Don't act like such a big-shot! I mean, it's the least you can do to let me take something that has my pictures in it without having to ask permission.

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

And the least that you can do is let me know when taking such a valuable item from my study. If not by words, then by a note, perhaps.

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ hair seems to frizz and stick up a little, like an angry cat. ]

I was just bringing it into the nursery! God, you are so stubborn!

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ eyebrow stays up while looking completely unfazed. ]

Mm. As are you.

[ walks up to him, shoving the item into his chest. ]

FINE. Take your stupid album! I don't need it anyway! But just know this will really disappoint Caleb and--

--OH, NO! CALEB!!

[childsized.livejournal.com]

[ starts pushing at albert, grunting and nudging with all her might. ]

GET OUTTA MY WAY YOU STUPID MOP-HEAD!

[prideofcontrol.livejournal.com]

[ tucks the album carefully against his chest while staring down at his baby sister. not moving. ]

Hm? What is the emergency?
