Roy's Favorite TV Show Is Now Special Agent Oso (redarrows) wrote in newalliance,
"Hey -" He didn't get a chance to finish what he was going to say, which was fine it was just a variation of thanks. And he would thank Dinah properly later, but right now he had to bend down to scoop up Lian. Lian who was talking about a mile a minute;
"And we had pancakes, and I was a princess dinosaur-astronauts, and there was a fort, and chips. I had a bath! And I had some apple and we watched the movie with the Robin Hood foxes - and that's D's favorite Disney movie." Lian had to pause then to suck in some more air so she could keep going. "And I played with Captain America, and there were stories.... and do you want to play Heavy Metal Fire Snake? We can play right now, right?"
"Well it sounds like you girls had an excellent time." He put Lian down on the floor, careful not to reach out and ruffle her hair and upset the ribbon. Man, no matter how hard he tried he could not get a handle on the ribbon thing. Thank goodness for Dinah for so many reasons. "And are you playing by the house rules or the rules you have for that game when your in the park?"
Lian gave that question due consideration and then answered somewhat hesitantly; "Park rules."
"Well that's a one person game, so why don't you do that - but carefully, your inside, and I'm going to talk to Di for a few minutes okay?"
Lian gave both adults a look that suggested she knew they were going to talk 'Grown up stuff', and probably start spelling things out, but still went off to continue playing her game.
Roy looked over at Dinah; "Thanks." There that was out of the way, at last. "Sounds like you had a good time, exhausting maybe, but good?" That was a question, because he knew if anything had gone a little wrong that Di wouldn't have let on to Lian. If anything had gone majorly wrong, Roy knew he would have gotten a phone call.
