Room 210, Saturday Morning

[smilestopscars]

Ezra did not know there was anything weird going on on the island. You could have even said he was blissfully unaware. That really wasn't going to last for very long.

But, he was awake and he'd showered, and the door to the hallway was open while he lazed about flipping through a magazine he'd picked up somewhere. Celebrity gossip about hot people he didn't really care about. Mmmmm.

It was quiet. It wouldn't be for long.

[ooc: Open door, open post, beware the tiny Sagishis invading the island because they will steal all your small stuff, for real. SP warning for the next bunch of hours, though.]

"Maybe," he said. "Who's the other dad?"

He was just going to brave the 'tude here until he had all the facts.

"The other dad is dad!" She was too young to know him as anything other than dad, Ezra! "Uh, I have an Uncle Declan!"

Maybe that would help?

[smilestopscars]

"Ronan?"

Okay, that was going to need a moment to get really processed. Because how.

"I'm sorry, maybe I hit my head worse than I thought."

Adele frowned. "Do you not like daddy now? What's wrong?"

[smilestopscars]

"Oh, no, Daddy's fine." That was a quick and smooth lie. He was good at reassuring bullshit. "Nothing's wrong. I was just a little surprised, that's all."

[cabeswaterkids.livejournal.com]

"Why?" she asked, blinking at him. "Surprised at me? I told you who I was! Answered all your questions! Can I have a snack?"

[smilestopscars]

"I guess, if you promise to not go all hyperactive on me," Ezra replied, straightening up and nodding her into the room proper. "It goes without saying you're not eating your weight in sugar."

[cabeswaterkids.livejournal.com]

"I'll eat half my weight then," she said like she was oh so smart. "And then half your weight too."

So smart!

[smilestopscars]

Ezra snickered. "You're very young and I like your thinking, so I'll give you a pass for that," he said, as he went to his desk and rummaged around for snacks. "But that's not going to happen, darling Adele."

"You're not the boss of me!" Adele said sassily. "I'll find other daddy and get him to give me snacks!"

[smilestopscars]

"Does other daddy usually give you snacks?"

He was genuinely curious about this.

[cabeswaterkids.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes," Adele answered with a shrug of her shoulders. "Sometimes not. Sometimes we share and sometimes I get them all!"

[smilestopscars]

Ezra held out a small packet of cookies her way. "I'd expect nothing less," he said. "You look like you probably get your way, often."

[cabeswaterkids.livejournal.com]

"That's cuz I got all the good Sagishi genes," she said, taking the cookies with a smile. "That's what you say at least. Daddy gave me my attitude."

[smilestopscars]

"Oh, I bet he did," Ezra agreed with a laugh. "How much of the Sagishi genes did you get, anyway? tail and everything?"

He was checking, although really the scent told him enough.

"Only sometimes," she said, smiling up at him, eyes crinkling and nose wrinkling as she did. "It's little!"

[smilestopscars]

Ezra tapped her on the tip of her nose because how could he not?

"Of course," he said. "It'll get bigger with age. But for now, you're tiny, no matter what form you're in, sweetheart."

"I'm growing everyday!" Adele told him proudly. "I'm gonna be tall like daddy!"

[smilestopscars]

"And smaller people will bow in terror," Ezra replied, nodding sagely. "You been to see your other daddy yet? Does he know you're here?"

[cabeswaterkids.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Adele said before stuffing a cookie into her mouth. "He's farther away and I was hungry!"

And, you know, she loved her dad and all.
