"Problem," Sylar said quietly, following it by a snort of laughter. "One that's one way to put it," he added in a murmur, shaking his head a bit. He was still tempted to send her home, tell her to come back another day, but of course, before he could there was something else that intervened his trail of thought.

"She will need more winter clothes though, especially if we're going to go out in the snow, won't you sweetie?" he said, directing his question at the little girl, even though he cast a glance up at Tess and grinned at her. "You do a good job at cheering up you know," he told her, the little one, and brought a hand up, poking her nose before grinning again. "Do you want some cocoa?"
