Old Bones, New Resolve

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

Old Pika moves about the room, slowly but surely. She purrs thunderously as she walks, keeping the tribbles and small children out of harm's way, trying to be useful for once. Her age is making it difficult, but she's determined.

- Come off there, little one, - she smiles and untangles baby Pika from some thread, nudging her gently as she gets up and runs off.

Logan took a long pull from her bottle of mineral water, then paused as she realized that some of the threads that her younger sister had left on the table she'd been working at were gone.

Frowning, she glanced around for a certain orange kitten.

Pika bolted by, a thread still dangling from her ear as she went to pounce on a tribble.

Old Pika followed more slowly, sighing and looking with amused eyes towards Logan. -I'm sorry, my friend. She's quite the entergetic kitten. I haven't go that speed anymore.-

He turned back and looked at her, then lifted one paw and gently patted her face. -Pretty lady.-

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

She smiled. -Handsome yourself.-

[random_xtras]

"Sure, bub." She smirked as she got to her feet and walked over to look up at him, dark eyes laughing and challenging him.

He grinned down at her. "Want to join me?"

[random_xtras]

She remembered how he and Jabez had taken to one another, then quirked an eyebrow as Blade chased a ball over under his table and straightened to give him the hairy eyebrow and a growl before running off again.

He smirked. "So... join me?"

[random_xtras]

"Movies nothin'. Had a full grown one in here hittin' on my little sister the other day." She continued mugging the kitten as she had another pull at her bottle and finished it.

"Ah. Interesting. A delusional pirate, running about," he smirked, watching Pika bat at the offending hand furiously, eyes huge and tongue stuck out.

"Jimmy's kid." She popped a claw to open her bottle of water with. "The big guy that don't look like a kid." Another nod toward where Robbie and the others were sitting. "He's nearly three."

"Wow," House said, blinking. "So your family just grows every day?"

[random_xtras]

"Yeah, y' old coot. Y' never answered my question." The sandwich got cut in half and half shoved his way, then the bowl of dipping gravy set where both could reach it.

"Wilson told me a few things," he shrugged. "I meant what I said when I said I liked the kid, even if the telepath thing's a bit of a shock."

[random_xtras]

"Well, fer one thing I can't leave Jabez too long."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"You can bring her. Heck, I'll take you to Chucky Cheese and all the kids can run wild," he shrugged.

[random_xtras]

Logan wondered if she should mention her above normal level reflexes, then shrugged and gave him a toothy grin. "Sure."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"Alright. But no mutant abilities. If you have them you've got to tone them down," he chuckled.

[random_xtras]

"Yeah, loser." He grabbed the white pusher and scowled, though the expression was more quizzical than angry.

"Jubes, is that a bad word?" asked Isha, perking her ears from where she still rode on his back.

"Um...." He bit his lip, then lifted those challenging blue eyes to House's face. "Sorry."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

He grinned back. A lot of people'd agree with you," he chuckled. "I know the alternate of me was definetly one."

[random_xtras]

"Heh." Jubal watched them and stuck his stocking foot in the kitten's path. "Victory parade."

Logan shook her head, then looked at House. "Wanna beer?"

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"Sure," he said, watching as the kitten walked face first into a gametable leg and fell to the side, looking a bit dazed and confused while the tribbles clustered around her and eeped nervously.

[random_xtras]

"Can't just shut the reflexes off, bub." She didn't look at him. "I am what I am."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"No, I know. No cheating yourself. I'll loose to you and try to score a few shots in before I do," he said, chuckling.

[random_xtras]

"Sure." She checked on Jabez and saw her sleeping soundly, then took another drink of notcoffee and slid down off her stool. Zanoah frisked up to her and she gently roughhoused with the dusky wolf for a moment before looking up at House. "She's mine too."

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

He smiled at her. "It's impressive, having this big of a family. Most people couldn't handle it."

[random_xtras]

"Bub, if I was tellin' y' off ye'd be layin' on the floor with yer brains leakin' outcher ears."

-Did I just say that?- She blinked.

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

He laughed. "Fair enough. Ready?" he asked, preparing to serve again.

[random_xtras]

"So, we playin' or jawin'?" She set the cup down and looked at him.

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

He grinned. "Play."

He served again, attempting to fake her out.
