Jizzy seemed to shrink slightly. "So you know what he's called.. I didn't know what a drider was when I adopted him.." Her tone was low. "I'm not going to leave him though.. I..I'm gonna try to ger over my fear, or. something.."
"Home.. Sounds boring.." He said, starting on another spire. "Tal, pass me that block." He said, pointing to a bleu block by Tal.
The small child offered no resisteance and passed the block meekly over to Deimos, before turning back to gaze at Ike. He was an interesting bigthing, all white and pretty.
"So now I have two brothers. You're my big lil bro and Tal is my lil lil bro. That means Tal is your lil bro too." He explained, toppng of a few flags a top the spires.

"Yeah...conquer your fears," Rabid laughed, "Remember, I'm always open for babysitting...just in case it's too much some days." Conquering fears was horribly difficult, she knew. She didn't much like the idea of having to pull Ike out of a tree. Especially a tall one.
Ike snorted and cocked his head to one side. It took him a moment to undertand but, when he did, a small smile flickered onto his face. So he wasn't being replaced after all.
"S'now Ike a big brother too," he smiled down at Tal and patted the boy affectionately, "Cool."

She nodded and looked at her watch.. "Oh, Deimos, could you bring Tal over here?" She said softly.
Deimos looked up from his castle, rolled his eye, but obliged, picking up Tal and carring him to Jizzy, leaving him there and returning to Ike. "He's ok. Too quiet though." Deimos explained, handed an assortment of blocks to Ike. "The corner spire eeds to be finished."
Jizzy seemed to shrink slightly as Tal was placed in her lap, but she held strong. Her breathing raced as she dug into the bag at her side and pulled out a baby bottle apparently filled with blood. With a shaking hand she placed it in Tal's mouth, who began to drink. "I.. I.. have to be.. careful.. he.. he never asks for anything.. he's very quiet so. I have to make sure.. he.. he.. eat on time.." Jizzy voice was shaking like mad.

Rabid placed a hand on Jizzy's arm and shook her head.
"Calm down," she snerked, "He's little yet. It'll get easier." She hoped that this fear wouldn't carry on past the point when Tal would understand.
"Err...okee," Ike took the blocks and began carefully arranging them to help the corner tall-thing match the other tall-things, "Why we need spy-rees?"
In truth, he didn't even know what Dei had been building.

Jizzy was shaking fiercely, yet as an impuse, rushing he fingers through Tal's hair. There was something about hair that calmed her, no idea why. "I just.. It's hard.. I.. I.. I have my reasons for being scared and I.. I. it's been years.." She whispered.
Tal finished his bottle and exteneded a small hand to give it back to Jizzy. He felt her shaking and nuzzled softly into her lap, his remaining legs curled up around him.
"Because it's a castle, all castles have spires. They try to keep the castle safe from pirates like us." Deimos explained as he topped of another spide with a flag.

"I figured," Rabid said, looking down at the child cautiously, "but that's no average spider. He's just...an eight-legged little boy." She smiled and pet Tal's head. He was kinda cute, actually.
"Oh," Ike nodded, "Psh. Castles can't keep Ike and Reid and...and...pirates and Captain Dei out. We too big and strong." Yeah, so he didn't know the rest of the crew of if Reid was even a pirate. He swished his tail at the thought of breaking down the walls of a full-scale castle. It sounded like fun. He could only imagine the amout of red st--no. He stopped himself before he got too excited.

"That's kinda the approach I've been taking.." She whispered, her voice still trembling. "And it's been kind of hard since I twisted my ankle right before I got him."
Tal sort of shuffled as Rabid petted his hand, shrinking closer to Jizzy. He'd peek out from his arms from tiem to time at Rabid. She ahd such crazy hair, that one.
Deimos nodded. "You got it! We're strong pirates and no catsle walls are gonna keep us away from treasure, right?"

"See? It'll work eventually, I promise," Rabid half-smiled, and then leaned down to Tal's height. She'd seen him eyeing her cautiously, and could imagine only her hair being the culprit.
"Look," she whispered to the boy and stretched a curl down. It reached almost to her knee. She then let it apring back up, and smiled sweetly. Freakin' curly hair. Why'd she have to have it?
"Right!" Ike agreed and sat back, admiring the small castle. He saw little people inside its walls and battling outside, falling off like flies at the hands of Captain Dei and his mighty pirate army. The image faded, though, as he looked up to Dei.
"Why we storm castles in the first place, Dei?"

Tal giggled. Crazy hair was fun. He raised up his arms feebly, retracted them shyly, then raised them up again. He wanted to play with the pretty hair.
Jizzy smiled faintly and continued to pet Tal's hair. "He's a dear though.."
"Because we're pirates, and pirates look for treasure. Castles have lots of treasure, though I'm not sure if this one does. This one is just practice for a real castle. Real castles are HUGE!" He extended his arms out to show thr sheer size of it.

"Awwww," Rabid cooed, "Sure is." Little ones were so cute...
She reached up and pulled down a handful of her curls, offering them to Tal. He didn't seem the type to remove hair by the root, although she probably wouldn't mind if he was.
"Oooooo," Ike's eyes grew wide. He then thought for a moment, his brow furrowing in concentration. He removed a couple of blood candies from his pocket and placed them carefully into the centre of the castle.
"There. Now it does."

Tal reached up and gripped some of the curls, a soft smile on hsi face. He tugged them down, not the whole way down, then let the go. He giggled as they sprung up. He reached up and did i again and again. This was fun.
Jizzy was smiling much more broadly now. "He seems to like playing with hair. It's no good with me since mine's kinda short."
Deimos smiled. "Excellent." He said and finsihed by placing little green soldiers all around the castle. "Mother!" He cried out and Jizzy gave a small sigh and sent a flicker of magic over to the castle. The figures sprnag to life and began to pelt Dei and Ike with small tiny, and rather harmless, plastic pellets. "We charge!!"

"I can see that," Rabid giggled, and then turned her head toward her son, not moving her head enough so as to allow Tal to continue his...hair-tugging. Once she was sure that Ike and Dei were quite alright, she turned back to the Drider.
Ike got down on all fours, in kind of a doggy 'play' position, and was promptly shot in the nostril by a little green man. Everything went sharp as he laughed and lunghed forward, smashing the toy under his palm and growling slightly.

Jizzy smiled and rushed fingers through her hair. 'I could never stand to have it long though.."
Tal was full out laughing as hee tugged and tugged, but once he tugged especially hard, ready to rip the heair right out. Not that he knew he was hurting anyone.
Deimos smirked and swiped at the soldier. Ten of them flew all over, the rest still pelting Deimos and Ike with pellets. He growls as he charged for the wall, the men grabbing at his feet to stop him.

"I don't really like having it long either, but...ouch," she cringed when Tal removed a bit of her hair, "but I can't quite help it." She watched as the tiny bald spot was fairly quickly filled in with more strands of obscenely curly dark brown hair.
"Now, be careful," Rabid half-smiled down at Tal, "We don't want to hurt anyone, now, do we?"
Ike looked over toward Dei and began loping at the castle on all fours, his ears folded back. He ignored the toys' protests. Once he reached the outer wall, he kneeled and whipped it with his wildly swishing tail.

Tal gave a small squee of delight and began to play with the strands of hair he had. He's strech them out and in then out and in, but being a babe led to have a rather short attention span, so he soon reached up a small hand at Rabid, giving the hair back.
"Oh. It's from being part vampire, yes? I think your curls are amzing though. If I grow my hair out, it sort of curls, but not nicely at all." Jizzy said.
Deimos smirked wider. 'Good move!' He siad and followed Ike's lead, crumbling a wall with a large swipe of his rather pointed tail.
