Some quality time is what they needed. For how long her childreen had been around, but not really having the opportunity. Well, this was just what she needed. Though, Silas was always off doing his own thing (She couldn't really figure him out), and Lucian was always busy off learning some manner or somewhat. Somehow, the boy seemed to have a bit of Rasiel tucked deep inside of him.
But, Moira and Yoko were always free. Usually roaming off to god knows where, and interacting with others rather often. It was almost as if they took care of themselves, and somehow, the toddlers seemed to make it work. Though, now they were growing, and Syth began to realize. Perhaps, she needed to spend more time with them. It wouldn't be good for the two to be growing up, and having no idea who their Nana was. Much less not knowing her name (Later on).
So, the lake it was for them. Specifically, near the little gathering they had set up the wedding some odd months ago. Images flashing by, always bringing a smile, "We're here!" Syth gleefully announced, releasing the grip on both of her daughters, setting down the rather large basket upon the ground. From what she had already known, Moira was a big eater. So, she hoped she had brought enough to fill the girl's appetite.
Yet, Yoko could seem less interested, eyes looking around at the scenery, from the trees that seemed to bunch of together in spots, to the grass. A small playground nearby, and tables for a campground, "Boring," She whispered under her breath, not wanting her Nana to hear her. Though, a quick glance was all she needed. It was hard enough as is to get away with anything. But Mnejing was already at work, pulling the basket open, and pulling out the large sheet and setting it on the ground. Just make it look like Yoko was doing something nice every now and then. Even if "Mistress" didn't care one bit about her own family.

Moira was almost always off on her own when she could get away, unless Lucian decided to follow her out, which wasn't that hard considering almost every adult in the house was usually busy. She had only noticed how lonely she truly was when she had a friendly chat with a boy named Ask in an apple orchard and she had since then been trying to spend more time with her parents but even with her attempts, they had mostly been futile until today.
"Momma... why have you and Mommy an Gramma been so busy and not paying much attention to us?" She asked bluntly as she walked over to the basket, watching her sisters puppet deal with the task of setting down the large sheet that the food was going to be placed on. "Is there too many of us?" Moira asked again, shifting her weight from her heels to the ball of her feet, seeming a little twitchy today, probably because she was wearing a pair of jeans instead of her usual shorts.

Needless to say, Syth was rather... speechless about what Moira had just said. Most of her wanting to just shut up and act like she had said nothing. But yet, that motherly instinct kicked in. Slowly working its way up and through her body. Overpowering all sense of... well, selfishness she had. At least until Yoko had to giggle about what Moira said.
"Too many... no. Just... we're new to taking care of children" She replied, a soft smile on her face as she moved over towards Momo. Moving in to give her a rough rub on her head, "And with Yoko and Lucian, they need a bit more attention, since they like to get into trouble!"
At the very least, she was being honest. She didn't want to do anything to break Moira's heart. She was such a sweet girl... too bad Yoko couldn't take after her. Though, watching off in the distance. Seeing the other throw rocks. Mnejing now setting food onto the blanket. Sandwiches, a rotisserie chicken, some fruits and crackers, and a few drinks. Not a whole lot, and really, she had picked up the chicken mostly in case Moira wanted something to scarf down quickly.
"Yoko! Come over and eat!" Syth called out, hoping the other would join back. Ah, the other girl was such a pain, and too boot it all. It seemed like she was beginning to enjoy the company of her uncle and his lover.
"I'm not hungry! I told you!" Yoko cried out, throwing another pebble out, watching it sink into the water with a loud "Thunk" before grabbing another.

"...but you..really haven't done anything with me except for ..breakfast lunch and dinner.. other than that you and Mommy and everyone else is busy.. I can see why Yoko likes being with Uncle, she gets attention out of it." Moira continues to talk as she takes off her shoes and sits down on the edge of the sheet, not wanting to get it dirty. Sighing a little, she looks up at her Mother, staring at her. Was the lack of attention really only because they were new to taking care of kids and the fact that the others liked to get into so much trouble?

Syth remained quiet, looking at Moira, just wondering how to answer that question in a way that made sense. Time had flown by, and yes, Lucian and Yoko had been troublesome and seemed to sap their time away. But... she didn't want Moira to start acting like the other two, "Nana doesn't really know...," She replied, biting her lip and moving to grab the basket. Pulling out a sandwich for Moira.
"But if Nana forgets again, just bug me, okay?" She replied, a soft smile. Hoping that the issue might be able to be dropped. And that she could be forgiven.

Moira sighs sadly before taking the sandwich and looking at it, "You're always busy though...and it seems like you don't like being bothered when you're busy.." she murmurs, vaguely remembering quite a bit of yelling going on when she and her siblings had 'arrived'. With another quite sigh, the young girl fell silent, not acting like herself at all.

And yet, Syth moved in. Taking the other into Moira's arms and pulling her close, "There were more of you than us," Syth said, moving to stick out her tongue, acting playful, trying to bring the other girl's spirits up more, "And we freaked out. Big, like when you made a mess. Except, for us it wasn't a mistake," She added. Her and Alice had planned on having a child, but four! Well, they never intended on having four of the little buggers.

The girl squeaks as she gets pulled into a hug before looking up at her mother and frowning, "But you just said that there wasn't too many of us!" she said before pouting and whining. Moira just couldn't wrap her mind around her mothers words and it was just confusing her and frustrating the poor thing even more.

There was yet a bigger pause, as Syth tried to think of how to compare her situation to, "Its like... eating," She tried to explain, but seeing how Momo ate... perhaps the analogy wouldn't work as well, "How if you ate too much, you'd want to take a nap right after. Yet, when you get used to eating, you can eat a lot more," She replied, hoping the idea would settle in. If not, she'd have to find some other way of explaining it.

"That doesn't make sense.." She murmurs before picking at her sandwich, as if she wasn't, but soon enough she's taking it apart and eating it piece by piece, a strange habit she formed somehow. Probably her curiosity on what was in it and thus the habit formed. "I've made friends..and you prolly dun even know them.." Moira states, wanting to make it blatantly obvious that she had been going out on her own.

"So has Yoko," She replied, still keeping as much of a loving expression, though, she couldn't help but watch Moira picking through the sandwich layer by layer. Wondering why she did that. Was there something about sandwiches she disliked?

"She has her ..puppet..thing that follows her around... I'm on my own." Moira frowns before eating the taken apart sandwich once it had been thoroughly demolished. "Maybe I should just run away.." she whispered.

"No, no no no no no!" The reaction to that statement was almost immedate, as Syth rushed in to take the girl in her arms, holding her tight, and looking down at her, "Moira, I wouldn't know what to do if any of you decided to run away," She replied, honest about what she was saying, "Just be patient with me. I don't know everything about being a parent,"

Making an awkward sound as she was held tight, she does her best to not look at her mother, sniffling very quietly. "You never..you never notice when I go out...prolly dun even know how many times I've been out of the house..!" She shouts, finally looking up to Syth with tears in her eyes. "Maybe I should just have more bad dreams.." Moira muttered, talking about her third eye power that she didn't know was a power, "You'd pay attention to me then."

She paused when she heard Moira, just wondering how she would be able to show some affection to Moira. Pondering as she began to rock the toddler back and forth, thinking to herself, "People get bad dreams... I get them too," She replied, looking down at her, moving a hand to brush off her tears, "But sometimes, they might tell you what you're thinking deep down inside, or maybe its just something telling you be to careful of something,"
