It had been nearly a fortnight since they'd had a home cooked meal. Up until they'd moved into their own house, the friend of his father's housekeeper had cooked for them. Cathair had gotten married at 19, which meant he'd never needed to learn how. He had tried to learn a bit in the few months in between, but the lady who ran Mr. Crocker's household was old fashioned and had literally balked at the idea of any guest, especially a male guest, cooking their own meals. So since they'd finished up the housewarming dish she'd brought, they'd been living on take away and frozen dinners. Cathair was fairly certain the idea of real food had been just as appealing to his daughter as seeing Becky and Amy again.
And it had certainly been a fine meal. For a moment, he wasn't certain there was going to be enough, considering how much her brother ate alone. He seemed a good sort, set on looking after his sister and being properly protective of her. Cathair insisted on helping clear up. Sadhbh was all too eager to have Amy all to herself for a few moments while the grown ups fussed with the dishes and such.
She was kneeling in front of Amy, singing softly. "Twinkle, Twinkle, little star," she began, then lifted one of her hands, palm up. Sadhbh looked around to make certain the adults were occupied. Dad would be cross at her if he knew she was doing magic, but the baby couldn't tell anyone, right? Chanting under her breath, she summon a few small lights and then continued her song. "How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky."
