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.

What was she agreeing to?

Naomi jumped, then looked over Hunter.



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

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.

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.

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



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.

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



She offered, smiling and watching patiently.

Hunter played with the boy, tickling at him.

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....

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.

Naomi shook her head.



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

hunter considered her.



I think the doc is a better candidate.

Naomi nodded, smiling a tiny bit more.



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



sincere question there.

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

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



She offered absently.

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.

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.

We're still talking about max, right?



She asked curiously, looking over him appraisingly now.

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.

Naomi offered softly, doubting this.

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



I think this is cheating...



she commented, small smile in place.

Naomi snickered now.



Oh, now someone is getting over confident...

Naomi leaned up to steal a kiss.

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.

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