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.

	"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)

Sam waited until at least four snowballs had splatted harmlessly against the wall of his shelter before ducking back around it...and aiming his first two snowballs directly at Bobby. Always best to take out the commander, after all, plus from this angle all he could really see of Lew and Annie was their faces, and he didn't really want to hit them dead in the face with packed snow.

The twins, perfectly happy not to be the focus of their big brother's attack, ducked down and each collected more ammon, which they let fly with whoops of sheer joy. Sam held his ground, squinting slightly against the impact so they could have the fun of hitting him before he ducked back behind the ice slide.

	"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)

	"I dunno, guys," he said, rocking Annie's hand until she leaned against him. He dropped an arm over Lew's back. "They look kinda hungry to me. But, we should be okay, as long as the prisoner can't fly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bobby smiled at her as she clamored unto her elder brother, though his blue eyes registered a brief flash of emotion, flitting from Sam's - who would be able to read him - and meeting Lew's as he caught him. "Double flip," he confirmed, before settling the child's weight. "Hold on tight," he told him, and they were off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If Bobby had known, he wouldn't have caved. Straightening, he took them each by the hand and gave them firm squeezes. "No," he replied, still avoiding looking in Sam's direction, as he smiled at one twin and then the other. "We'll be fine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
