Hunter and Naomi's Prelude

Post by **Tree** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 1:03 am

The thing got smacked away, and Ryder kept crying, reaching at the animal. Storm looked all sad.

Mama ... me...

he offered his father sadly.

Hunter looked at Storm.

It's okay. You do not have to give it to you if you don't want to. It is nice to share, though.

Hunter picked up Ryder then.

"Now, you, stop that. That is not yours. It's Storm's."

More, and more tears. Ryder wasn't as developed, daddy, remember. He was still very small and didn't understand.

Phoenix wasn't worried about this spat of crying and continued to play with his dad's nose.

Yes, that was why Hunter was gently bobbing the kid, patting his back. However, you had to talk to them or they'd never learn, right?

"Shh, shh, shh..."

The boy was just sleepy ans such. He'd cry himself right out.

Naomi smiled.

Yeah.

Hunter glanced up.

huh?

What was she agreeing to?

Post by **Tree** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 1:55 am

Naomi jumped, then looked over Hunter.

Sorry... I space off sometimes and apparently I am naturally inclined to speak to you in those moments.

Post by **Sushi** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:02 am

Hunter's mouth twitched as he stood to put Ryder down to bed.

That's fine. I was just slightly perplexed, because there wasn't even a thought for you to have responded to.

Post by **Tree** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:06 am

... Sorry

She offered, glancing over her toe nails.

nah, it's not a problem.

Hunter glanced down, smirking to himself.

You should have had him do ladybugs.

Post by **Tree** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:12 am

I like the poke a dots, thank you... he gets to do my fingers, too...

she purred, watching him work on her hands. This is more the pampering she'd gotten at the beginning of her relationship with Max. It was a bit more believable to see why she'd put up with the bad, seeing the good.

I think that takes a special kind of talent.

Hunter shrugged, blowing a raspberry on Phoenix's belly.

Post by **Tree** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:21 am

I'm very proud of this, it took him months to get it right.

She offered, smiling and watching patiently.

Post by **Sushi** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:27 am

Hunter played with the boy, tickling at him.

Practice and perfect and all of that...

Post by **Tree** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 11:34 am

Yeah, I just didn't see the point in wasting my time trying to teach you. You strike me as the sort to just dump me in a salon..... I was very surprised when he didn't, to be honest....

Post by **Sushi** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 12:26 pm

I can do a lot of things. I do a lot of painting, I am sure that I could manage nails if I really wanted to.

Just to say.

Post by **Tree** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 12:58 pm

Naomi shook her head.

I wasn't discrediting the fact you could, I was commenting on the fact you wouldn't.

Post by **Sushi** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 1:14 pm

hunter considered her.

I think the doc is a better candidate.

Post by **Tree** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:14 pm

Naomi nodded, smiling a tiny bit more.

Do you think his real deal really is he misses what he had?

sincere question there.

Post by **Sushi** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 6:01 pm

It's quite possible. You know, realizing how good it was, after the fact.

Post by **Tree** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 2:43 am

I wasn't that good... neither was he.

She offered absently.

Post by **Sushi** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:25 pm

Hunter just shrugged.

Well, that's all I have for you. I don't make a habit of eavesdropping on everyone - I couldn't tell you what his actual thoughts or motives are.

Post by **Tree** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 4:55 pm

Naomi smiled, leaning to kiss Max on the cheek as she was now pleased with her matching finger nails, springing up to go to Hunter, kissing him.

Yes well, I wasn't asking you to. I just find it odd.

Post by **Sushi** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 5:33 pm

People are funny creatures. Just when you think that you can predict their next move, they'll surprise you.

Post by **Tree** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 9:58 pm

We're still talking about max, right?

She asked curiously, looking over him appraisingly now.

Post by **Sushi** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:18 pm

Hunter's mouth twitched and after a moment he glanced back to Naomi.

That one was more of a general statement, actually. Not applying to anyone in particular.

Post by **Tree** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:41 pm

A huh...

Naomi offered softly, doubting this.

Post by **Sushi** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:48 pm

What's that supposed to mean?

Post by **Tree** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:01 pm

It means I do not believe you... however, I love you and am trying to let that go.

Post by **Sushi** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:09 pm

Hunter laughed faintly.

WHy don't you believe me?

Post by **Tree** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:14 pm

I don't believe the everyone implied angle, it felt less so.

Post by **Sushi** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:29 pm

Hunter just shrugged then.

Okay, I can live with that.

e held his arms out for her to come to.

Post by **Tree** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:39 pm

Naomi would easily move into his arms, nestling to his chest.

I think this is cheating...

she commented, small smile in place.

Post by **Sushi** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:42 pm

Nah. This is good is what this is.

Post by **Tree** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:48 pm

Naomi snickered now.

Oh, now someone is getting over confident...

Post by **Sushi** » Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:55 pm

Just appropriately confident, I would say. Why doubt what you have?

Post by **Tree** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 12:02 am

Naomi leaned up to steal a kiss.

Fair enough, mister sexy pants.

Post by **Sushi** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 12:19 am

Hunter just laughed, kissing her with ease.

Mmmhmm.

Post by **Tree** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 3:28 pm

Naomi shifted to slowly break from his lips, looking over at the way Max was half glaring at Mew.

it's worth keeping him around to watch how much he bugs Max.

Post by **Sushi** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 5:29 pm

And, he makes a fantastic courier what with being a type B and all.
