henry stillman, sadako yamamura

Who: Sadako and Henry.
What: Checkups.
When: Saturday evening.
Where: Guildhall.
Warnings: Doubt it.

Sadako wasn't able to move within the Shadows like Henry or Petit, but she did have a quiet, graceful way of moving that lent her a bit of stealth. She managed to get to the doors of Guildhall without anyone noticing, waiting to be let in. She was expected; she was due to check up on Henry's health.

	Petit was there to answer the door, almost exactly the same time Sadako arrived. She was good at this sort of thing. She smiled, waving the other woman inside, "Come on in. Thanks for doing this on such short notice." (Reply to this)

	"Of course." She smiled and took off her shoes at the door, setting them neatly in a line. "It isn't any trouble, really." (Reply to this)

"Still though." She shrugged, leading Sadako off to where Henry was, one of the back rooms, "I do appreciate it, since you weren't scheduled for another month."

At that moment Henry was sitting crosslegged on the floor with a guitar in his lap working his way through a Zeppelin song, Immigrant Song as likely as not, he beamed when he saw Sadako, setting the guitar aside and hopping to his feet, "You're early!" He said, giving her a quick, though solid, hug around the waist.

	Sadako blinked a little and then smiled at Henry's greeting. "Your mama called me to come over. You're very good at that, what are you playing?" She smiled and smoothed out Henry's hair with one hand, checking the boy for illnesses and abnormalities even as she sat down near him. (Reply to this)

	Petit smiled, shaking her head and hanging back, leaning against the doorframe. Henry shrugged, "The viking kitten song." He grinned up at her, "I can start again from the beginning if you want to hear it." Like most of Petit's side of the family, he was in what amounted to perfect health, no seasonal cold, no allergies, nothing. (Reply to this)

	"Of course I'd like that." She smiled and nodded to Petit. He is in perfect health, you have no reason to worry. Settling down on the floor near Henry, she modestly covered herself with her skirt and smiled at him, waiting for him to begin. (Reply to this)

Petit nodded once in acknowledgment, "I'm going to make some cocoa, who wants some?" Both of Henry's hands shot up, grinning before he flopped down again, re-arranging his guitar once more, asking Sadako: "So I'm not like, growing a tail or a third arm or got Teflon for blood or nothing?" He knew how quickly she usually checked, and she hadn't seemed surprised at all, which was usually a good sign.

	"Only a little tail," Sadako said in an exaggerated whisper. "It will look very cute on you. Perhaps you could learn to do flips with it." (Reply to this)

Henry gave her a double thumbs up, "I bet I could. Cassie and Sor'll be totally jealous." He knew she was teasing, really, but he liked playing along.

"Right, viking kitten song." He stretched his fingers before he started playing, humming along where the lyrics would go, having to stop to get his bearings or to stretch his fingers to hit the right chord once or twice, grinning once he'd finished, "And that's about how it goes."

	Sadako wasn't much of a fan of the loud music that her older son played - she preferred classical music or the cheery pop songs on the radio in Japan - but she nodded her head appreciatively, clapping at the end. "That's very good! You must have been practicing." (Reply to this)

	henri_with_a_y 2009-12-28 06:26 am UTC (link)
	He grinned, "Yeah, it's classic stuff, you know, gotta know that kind of stuff if you want to be able to play anything else. Know your roots, y'know?" He shrugged, setting the guitar aside, "I'm not great at it like Sor, but whatever, that's cool, I kind of like singing better anyway." (Reply to this)

	wheniamqueen 2009-12-28 06:35 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sure you're a good singer too. And everyone has their favorite thing to do, I'm sure that's what they're est at." She shrugged. "I can't sing or play guitar, you have me beat." (Reply to this)

	henri_with_a_y 2009-12-28 06:39 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged, "Yeah, but you're an actress, I can't even really lie all that well, but I guess that's okay." That and it was something he'd learn to get better at later in life. Another shrug, "Like you said, everybody's got their own thing." (Reply to this)

	"I'm sure it's something your mother appreciates that you're not very good at." She smiled and wrapped her arms around him. It was something that she really appreciated - his being tactile with her. People that didn't fear her were close to her heart. (Reply to this)

He laughed, "Actually she says I should get better at it, since she'll be able to tell when I am anyway." He shrugged, "She's got the lie-dar, and more than most people's mum's." Another shrug, "But whatever, not like I'm going to be doing any jobs or anything until I'm at least eighteen."

Sparky decided that now would be a good time to make his entrance, warbling as he uncurled from where he'd been in Henry's pocket, scrambling up his arm, and then up Sadako's so he could start braiding the ends of her hair.

	"Your mother is delightfully contrary. I'd be able to tell too," she grinned,tapping her forehead. Waving her fingers at Sparky, having long ago gotten used to Shadows, Sadako sat up a little straighter so he had better access to her hair. (Reply to this)

	henri_with_a_y 2009-12-28 07:21 am UTC (link)
	He smiled, "She really is, and of course you'd know, you're our Auntie-D, it's your job to know that kind of thing in case it's important." Sparky chirruped a greeting even as he worked, using most of his legs for braiding and a few of the others just for holding on. (Reply to this)

	"Are you enjoying your holiday from school? When does your term end? Tej and Esther are in a different school than you." She stroked his hair lightly, smiling when it reacted back. (Reply to this)

He shrugged, "Been having fun so far, but it'll be nice to go back." Mostly because it meant he'd see Cassie and Sor every day instead of just intermittently, "And I dunno, homecoming just happened, and we were supposed to do the end of term exams before the break, but because of the explosion and stuff Dumbledore said it could wait until we got back, so this one's going to be a little different than usual."

	"I was never an exceptional student, but if you need help, I can see what I can do." She smiled and kissed him on the forehead. (Reply to this)

	henri_with_a_y 2009-12-28 07:37 am UTC (link)
	She was one of the few people besides his parents who were allowed to show that kind of affection, he just nodded, "So far I'm doing okay. And I think I'm prepared for the exams, I mean, I don't know for sure what's going to be on them, but it can't be that hard, right?" (Reply to this)

	wheniamqueen 2009-12-28 07:46 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sure they won't be, you're very smart." She moved to stretch her legs out straight in front of her, like a doll. (Reply to this)

	henri_with_a_y 2009-12-28 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	He shrugged, "Clever and sneaky, I think, not really all that smart, Cassie's smart, most people don't know it because he acts like a doof most of the time, but he is." (Reply to this)

	wheniamqueen 2009-12-28 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Clever can be more useful than smart. You and I are similar in that way." She smiled and wiggled her toes, not wearing any socks even though it was cold in Japan. (Reply to this)

	henri_with_a_y 2009-12-28 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	He shrugged, "I guess so. I mean, I'm usually the one who's going: 'get me a bendy straw, some dental floss, a thingy of tinfoil and a rubber ducky, I can make this work'" He shook his head, "And I'm kind of the one who makes sure nothing gets too out of hand, but I don't even do that on purpose, it just happens."

	"You're a good friend, Henry." She smiled and grinned when Petit reemerged with cocoa. "To everyone, really." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	henri_with_a_y 2009-12-28 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Henry shrugged, "I guess." That was his answer to most things, really, especially when he wasn't totally sure he agreed. Petit smiled, shaking her head and settling easily to the floor as well, passing out mugs, "They're lucky to have you. You're lucky to have them too." (Reply to this)

	wheniamqueen 2009-12-29 12:01 am UTC (link)
	Sadako nodded in agreement. "It's true. I didn't have any friends before I came here. Friendship is very important, Henry." (Reply to this)
