It was almost like a custody arrangement. Sam showed up early in the morning at his door, Lewis and Annie fed and excited. They still weren't talking, the tense atmosphere between them just thick enough to make both uncomfortable as the twins threw themselves into Bobby's waiting arms, talking a mile a minute. He'd nodded and left.

Bobby'd had the twins for several hours; a luxury he hadn't indulged in for...far too long if the twins' constant reminders were anything to go by - and they were. They spent the morning inside, reading and watching movies, singing and playing games. Bobby put on an impromptu ice puppet show, which naturally prompted a trip outside to play in the icy field. He made sure they ate lunch first, then walked outside with them a little hand in each of his own.

An hour later Bobby was running across the snow - carefully slow so Lewis and Annie could keep up - an ice sword in his hand, and a scarf tied across his middle.

"Noooo!" he shouted dramatically, "Not my treeeeasure!"

He leapt over an ice polar bear and skidded, striking a pose. The twins giggled, leaning into the sculpture and catching their breath. Their eyes rounded when the ship started to rise from under him and scurried up the gangplank (complete with deep, well balanced steps) to join him on the deck.

"ARRRGH! Avast me maties!"

The ship rocked - for effect - as it balanced out.

"AYE=AYE, CAP'N!" they both shouted in almost perfect unison, faces split ear to ear by gap-toothed grins as they ducked down for ammunition.

Sam couldn't see the ammo piled up at their feet, but he knew Bobby well enough to know it was there, especially when he found himself looking down the barrel of a cannon. His grin stretched wider and his heart broke a little more as he dodged to the side, ducking behind a slowly melting ice sculpture just as Lew and Annie both came up, throwing wildly.

"You have to catch me before you can sink me!" he called back over his shoulder, stooping to scoop hasty snowballs together with his still bare hands as he continued straight round to the other side of his impromptu shelter. Two years ago he might have told them they'd never take him alive, but that wasn't something anyone - or anyone with sense - would joke about anymore.

	"Will you look at him," Bobby commented, raising viking shields - entirely out of place on a European vessel - over the railing to give the twins better cover. "He thinks he can outswim the finest ship on the sea! Load the cannons! Blow him out of the water!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bobby hobbled down the gangplank after them with one arm and one leg iced over like wooden sticks. "Is this mutiny or a take over?" he asked, as snowballs flew in every direction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bobby, meanwhile, Lewis on his back was skating lazy figure eights across the small deck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Aye-aye!" Bobby replied, with a salute. He and Lew glided over as Sam was all fit to be shoved up unto the plank. A big pile of snow billowed under the plank, a few odd (and at safe distances away) icy shark fins poking up in a pattern. Bobby leaned over the side of the ship, most of Lewis moving with him. "Oh look, the sharks are circling." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
