I need to find kid pictures for Terin... hmhmhmmmmm
At the sound of his siblings entering the bedroom, Terin glanced up from the cards on the floor. He smiled at them lightly before turning his attention back to the game he and his older brother, Sellion, had engaged themselves in. It wasn't necessarily a fun game, but it made the time pass and kept Sellion out of Terin's hair. The two brother's couldn't have been more different from one another, but they were still close nonetheless.
"Ha!" Sellion exclaimed, throwing a card down on the ground. "I win!" He pumped both fists into the air in a silent victory cry before turning to look at his siblings. He cocked an eyebrow at his brother's request and looked at back at Terin questioningly. Sellion was the eldest of the four siblings. He had three years on Terin and fourteen on his baby sister. "Cleaning pots? That's no a job for a man!" he claimed with a laugh. At the age of eighteen, he was all about doing men's jobs. He'd help out around the house if his mother asked, but his mother hadn't.
Terin was a bit perplexed by the direction as well. He didn't see the same distinction between jobs for men and women did and it was he who was often asked to help with household chores. He didn't mind helping his mother, it gave him an excuse to not be out playing with the other children and getting into all kinds of trouble. He didn't question the orders though and just shrugged, getting up from where he sat on the floor. "Man's job or not, Sellion, mother must've asked them to come get you to help so let's go. It's the whole reason father had us stay home today," he said to his brother, offering him a hand up from the floor.
Grimacing slightly, Sellion took his brother's outstrechted hand and allowed himself to be pulled up from the floor. Kicking the cards into a pile, he turned to his youngest siblings and opened his arms to herd them out of the bedroom. "Alright, kids, let's get this over with," he directed, heaving a dramatic sigh.
Laughing to himself, Terin should his head lightly and headed for the front door to find his mother. He paused just as he reached out for the handle, glancing over his shoulder to watch for a moment as Sellion helped Arya stand on one of the few chairs they had so she could reach the wash tub. He smiled to himself before pressing the door open and going outside to find their mother.
