[Myri's hands have just been idle for too long, so she scoops up her niece, cradling her and rocking her gently.]

I'm sure they'll learn the best and the worst from each other.

[graveflowers]

And how to swim from me. [ she shifts to fling her legs out in front of her, settling shay in her lap and wriggling her little arms. ] Freestyle. Breast stroke. Doggie paddle.

[witchwoman]

I'm afraid I don't know what I could offer that could top that. [She says with a laugh.]

[graveflowers]

Um, you can read. Obviously that.

[witchwoman]

I've only been doing it for a few years now. I'll do my best to teach them, though.

[graveflowers]

A few years is great, Myri, and you're a fast learner. You'll be a great teacher, too.

[ dyslexia is a difficulty vi's learned to be okay with admitting, finding all the ways around it and just accepting that thank you notes from her will take hours to write because the words don't make sense to her and seeking out people to explain things she could ultimately look up on her own. but she knows that even if she can manage, being able to teach someone else would be impossible for her. ]

[witchwoman]

[She nods and smiles, happy to split the teaching opportunities with Vi in this case.]

I still keep wondering if either of them will have our magic.

[graveflowers]

Maybe. [ she bends down to give shay a little eskimo kiss. ] Are you gonna be a magical princess, my little ocean flower?

[witchwoman]

Speaking of, I think I may have accidentally convinced Mark to appoint the girls as Andresian royalty at some point.

[graveflowers]

Sweet! That'll be so much easier than convincing Dana to marry me.

[witchwoman]

[She lets out a small laugh.] Well, you could still give that a try, if you wanted.

[graveflowers]

I don't want to traumatize the poor guy.

[witchwoman]

[She nudges Vi's shoulder with her own.]

We'll have to plan a trip to Andres soon- just the four of us.

[graveflowers]

Oh I already planned one. Lucia and I are spending the month there come August 1st. Introduce Lu to Andres, badger the boys. I want to thank the doctors that gave me my check ups when I was there.

[witchwoman]

Oh. Well, have a good time. [Myri will just plan her own trip then I guess.]

[graveflowers]

You can come too, you pumpkin.

[witchwoman]

I don't want to intrude on your plans, that's all.

[graveflowers]

It's no biggie. My plans include laying around in luxury and badgering Mark so...

[witchwoman]

Sounds perfect to me.

[graveflowers]

[ vi grins and then they play with the babies for the rest of the day and it's fucking adorable? c'est fin. ]
