"Iaah" Jack trailed, obviously entranced by the reflection off the river water. He pulled off his hat, digging around in it for a bottle cap he'd found. It wasn't quite a sharp, but it had enough of an edge to make Cassie cry. But, this was more important. Plopping his hat back on, if a bit crooked, he stared at the bottle cap for a few seconds before dropping it down, waving to it giddily, "Babih!" he squealed.

She chuckled a lot, but didn't often find something amusing enough to actually laugh. Having a faint idea of what he'd done, for whatever reason it seemed worthy of laughter. "Jack, you should watch throwing things. Next time make sure there's someone to hit."
"Wark!" Gizmo cut in hurriedly, growling slightly. It only made the older of the two Sin'aeis laugh again.
"Whaaat? It's not like he isn't vicious now, I'm just helping him along is all." Her tone was much too innocent to be real, and for the outburst she kicked the griff a bit harder in the side and nodded downward.
Just as quickly as he'd taken off, Gizmo came to a landing, folding his wings and watching Kilah slide back onto the ground. Leaning in the direction she assumed was the mansion, she yelled, "Hey lady, where the hell did you go?"

Carrie flinched, looking up from her book. Well, so much for some quiet time. She shouldn't be complaining, she'd managed to finish more than half of her assignment without interruption. Standing, she started to jog back toward the girl. "I'm over here, he didn't bite you did he? I'm sorry if he did."
Jack pouted and latched onto her shirt again, not wanting to go home just yet. Cassie was at home and she cried too much, never wanted to have any fun. And Mama always got upset and took away his sharps, "Naaaaa."

"Like hell he did." Bite her? Rrright. Jeesh, some people! This baby wasn't bad at all! ...Well, he was, but not in the sense that this woman thought he was...or something, it made sense in her heard. Fact of the matter, she just couldn't handle him. Probably too boring, whiny, stuck-up or a mix of the three and more. "No, he didn't bite me. I wanna take him out. Like, out of this range of sight and hearing, you cool with that?"
Had Jack been older she wouldn't have asked, but it was always different with a baby. They were dependant on the nearest other person from what she could tell, and she had to admit if she was someone else she wouldn't leave a baby with her. "I'll bring him back." Eventually...

Carrie blinked, was this girl serious? "Oh. Alright, I guess. Um, sure, why not."
"Yaaaaai" He gave a little clap. He liked this Aki person, she showed him sharps, and burnies, and she even showed him flewing. And it meant he didn't have to go home and 'play nice' with Cassidy.

"I was hoping you'd say that." Not too much, though, if she'd said no Kilah probably would've taken him anyway. She doubted this lady could fly, and if she could Gizmo could burn her or something. Haha, that was a funny thought...
Bad Kilah, focus.
In the time it took ones heart to beat twice, they were back in the air, and Gizmo seemed to know where she wanted him to go without her even saying his name.
"I wonder what happened to your old protector, I know that wasn't her..." Protectors seemed to come and go, oddly enough. That one Nychii had left a while ago, and Noyama was still upset about it. That's why you couldn't trust them.

Jack looked up at her, silent for a moment before he got distracted and started to baby talk again, none of it having any real meaning until he nodded, "Abah nah, ga." [Translation: Don't know, gone] He gave a little yawn, wondering whether she'd wake him up if there was anything fun.

"The new one is better for you anyway." The old she'd heard was just as mean as Jack himself, but this new one was timid. Like a scared rabbit in backed into a corner by an entire pack of wolves. If she couldn't handle him now, one could only imagine what havoc Jack would cause with her when he could walk.
Funny thought.
"Any idea where you'd like to go?"

He gave another little yawn, but pointed a finger off in no particular direction. Never really having been out of the house, he didn't know where he wanted to go, or even what was out there to go too. "Daw." [Translation: There] With that he snugged up against her and dozed off, flewing was comfortable.

"Wark."
Kilah blinked, yawning a bit herself. "Is that right?" The griff nodded in response, and even though she couldn't see him do so seemed to know the answer anyway. "Well, he is just a baby."
For a short while, Gizmo flew in the direction dubbed as "daw", and then with Kilah's command (er, kick), gulided gracefully back to the ground and infront of the mansion.
It was a shame to leave him, really, but she needed to get home... plus holding him was getting tiring. "Hey lady, your babies tired. Get out here."

Carrie shifted her the child currently in her back carrier, though at the moment it looked more like an enclosed bag, a pale blonde child covered in shadow, sleeping peacefully. She stood again, walking over to take Jack from the girl. Settling him against her shoulder, she turned to leave, then paused and looked back, "I- I think he likes you." Then she headed back for the road, careful not to wake him.
Truthfully, she could have blown a siren and he wouldn't have woken up. So far it was the longest stretch of time he'd gone without a nap, a fact that was blaringly obvious by the fact that he'd fallen asleep so easily, and now didn't even chew anything in his dreams, simply lay there looking like a little doll.

That probably surprised her more than it should have, and she wasn't sure what to say back, so remained silent until she was positive the woman had gone. Finally she grunted a simple, "Hmm.", and then suddenly shrugged as if she'd just come to sort of conclusion about something. "Let's go, Gizmo."
