Naida held out the shell and took her dagger back. "Trade. But I'll get you a better one later. This is just temporary. Does that sound good?"

Sindra grinned and nodded, "Uh-huh! I like you, can we keep you?"
Proteus grinned as he and Saber finally joined them, "That's the plan."
Saber frowned, "You gave her a weapon..."

"And? Obviously the child is interested in weaponry. She'll never learn to use one properly unless she's allowed to play and experiment." Nadia glared a little at Saber, sliding her daggers back into her hooves under the water.

"She's a baby," Saber growled between clenched teeth. "She doesn't need to be playing with weapons..."
"Um, big brother," Proteus smirked watching his little niece playing with her new toy. "When did you start training with weapons?"
"That's beside the point..."

"That's the best time to learn, before she becomes afraid. And she seems smart enough. I don't think you'll have to worry about her. She evidently took after her mother."

"She doesn't take after her mother," Saber muttered.
"Yeah, that lip quiver she pulled on you was pure Synne," Proteus agreed nodding.

"Who's Synne?" Naida reached for Proteus's hoof as she slid up out of the water.

"Our darling little sister," Proteus said wrapping his hoof around hers. "Notorious for getting anything she wants with her patented pout."

"Ah. Then that girl definitely got that then. Maybe I'll have to teach her a different way to get what she wants." She winked at Proteus. "A sharper way."

"No thank you," Saber said quickly.
"Papa," Sinda wrapped herself around her father's legs. "I like her, can we take her home? Please!"
Proteus smirked and whispered to Naida, "You got a real way with kids..."

"Sure," he grinned. "You already won over Sindra..."
"Sindra, sweety, we can't take her home..."
"Sure we can!" She grinned. "Grandpa can make a big tank for her to live in, please!"

"That wasn't hard. We speak the same language." She frowned overhearing Saber and Sindra. "Wait wait wait. Don't I get a say in this?"

"You want to come home with us, don't you? Please!" Sindra pleaded.
"I'll take care of you! Really I will. And you can teach me how to use weapons."
"Wow, sounds like the kid's got it all figured out," Proteus said with an amused smirk.

Naida bent down to the child's level. "Now don't you think that's a little unfair for me? I'm used to swimming in the big ocean...a tank wouldn't be nearly big enough for me after that, don't you think?" She glanced back at Proteus for help.
