"And then, and then, Papa said--go wild!" Jade stood up on the bed and pointed at the empty air, making a haughty expression with my childhood face.
I...wasn't doing that much, right? Leaning down, I whispered to my giggling baby that no, his Papa wasn't that dramatic of a person...surely.
"Oh--good job, sweetheart." Natha clapped while laughing softly, and I couldn't decide if he did it for Jade's performance or if he really thought I was doing a good job.
"But there's no yummy things, so Jade get bored and fall asleep," the little boy ended his theatrics by falling toward Natha's open arms. "Papa give the only yummy stone for magician girl."
Natha chuckled and patted the sulky green head. "It's just a human realm's stone anyway," he scoffed. "I'll give you lots of better quality ones tomorrow."
"Really?" Jade raised his head with a pair of greedy, sparkling eyes. "Promise?"
