[ Hearing her voice in his head makes him smile. Seeing as he's lit up though, he only lifts his hand with a look that says in a little bit.
After all, he doesn't want to bother the kids and steal their playmate away. He pays particular attention to the young Cait Sith, though, having seen her in Cisco's special class.]
She'll spend the next fifteen minutes entertaining the babies before she finally effectively introduces them to a game her mother used in one of her special case classes a couple of years back.
You'd know it. Patintero.
Sashaying over now and plunking her butt down right beside you. ]
You smell of all the sads. [ Yes, she is giving you a Look. ]
[ That's her slipping out her cigarettes and lighting up as she tosses her pack on your lap. ]
Have one on me. [ Have a look that tells you clear enough that she won't take no for an answer.
Leaning forward now, elbows on knees as she expels a generous stream of smoke. The inquiring and concerned smile she sends your way might remind you of her mother. ]
Been better. [ Small, casual shrug, but it's not been that long since ] Flying out to Ireland later, which means that this morning's all I got to spend with you for now.
[ She didn't miss that first part, or that shrug. But she's a patient hunter, she'll get the other details out of the way first -- whatever's bugging you will come out eventually. ]
[ Hide? From this fox? Junior, you ought to read up on body chemistry and how people give off certain scents when they're angry, or stressed, or afraid. ]
[ Maggie's passing you a curious look that's matched by the brow she's quirked in your direction. ]
No.
[ She offers that gently. For all their fights, she and Renae made it a point to never let the sun set on an argument -- or to agree to disagree given that their Heart-Paths were so different. ]
--Oh. Josh LaRue. The cutie her uncle is dating. ]
Well... how bad was it?
[ She doesn't really need to know what about, nor is she interested in prying -- that's your business and the details don't concern her. Fights are fights and they kind of happen, that's just fact. She's gotten into some with her own Squad before. ]

Father will be back eventually.
no subject
You're home again.
[ Teasing little brother trollface right here. ]
no subject
I am.
[ Matter-of-fact, that. ]
I was due back anyway. I keep my promises even when I'm strong-armed into making them.
no subject
[ Really, really glad Maggie, you have no idea how even. ]
no subject
Now that you've got that schmoopy look on your face over me being home, [ a gentle but firm look your way. ] How've you been, kid?

What's in Ireland?
[ She didn't miss that first part, or that shrug. But she's a patient hunter, she'll get the other details out of the way first -- whatever's bugging you will come out eventually. ]
no subject
Just... Another assignment.
[ He says that like it's nothing, and yet, Maggie, you know the kid well enough to know that he's hiding something from you. ]
no subject
The nose knows when you're hedging, squirt.
[ She'll put an arm around you though. ]
What's up.

Did you ever have a fight with Kuya Ren that was so bad, you didn't talk for days?
no subject
No.

I got into a fight with Josh, and it was my bad. I thought maybe Father was here and I could ask for advice.

[ And he has to think about the fight after that, or the lack thereof. ]
I didn't know the silent treatment hurt worse than a shouting match.
no subject
Bumping your shoulder now. ]
Maybe it's because you guys talk so much.
[ That's the impression she got from her Mom anyway. ]
Sometimes things just suck though, you know? They're supposed to. That's why they suck.
no subject
I'm gonna make it not-suck when I see him.
no subject
Ruffling your hair now. And then pinching your cheek with a little sound between two pursed lips. ]
That's the spirit. And if he doesn't want to cooperate you can always just bully him into it.
Not really though, squirt. Josh is kinda... taller and broader than you. Mmm. Dem shoulders. But Uncle's taste in guys is great, so.

I-I'm stronger than I look! I had part of a shoddily-constructed building fall on me and I'm fi-
