Michael nodded and grinned. "I like to colour too. What's your favourite thing to colour?" he asked her before she added the bit about Lavender. He wondered what the pictures might have been that would have made her upset but he didn't want to get into that with the girl so he didn't ask her about it.
He could hear Lavender a few times from the other room but he wasn't going to go in there uninvited so he wandered around in the front room with Jessica on his hip for a bit, looking around at pictures. "Jessica, do you know how to play pat-a-cake?" Michael asked her suddenly and sat her down on the floor and kneeled next to her. He wanted to try and distract her from whatever was going on and also himself because really, he could use it. He held up both his hands for her to hit and smiled, thinking of his sister again. It had been fourteen years now and he could still picture her face easily enough when he closed his eyes.
