I could hit a moving target before I even started at the Academy. Never too young to learn a few tricks. [Rose beaming a little, like she might like the idea of being able to do with Shayla.] At least you'll have an endless supply of babysitters.

[witchwoman]

I have a feeling if I said yes every time someone wanted to watch her for me, I may not see my daughter until she's old enough to walk and talk.

[She feels so incredibly blessed to have so many people in her life that love her and her child as much as they do.]

[littledhampir]

[A chuckle spills over, Rose bobbing her head.]

I know she's yours and that's, a whole other thing but... [Not trying to take away from the fact that Shayla was her child in what she was about to say.] But I think we all needed this. Welcoming new life into these walls rather than always saying goodbye.

[witchwoman]

[Myri nods, understanding just what Rose means. Shayla's birth had been the only thing that could pull her away from her despair at losing Finnick. She imagines that she still has quite a bit of grieving left to do for the loss of her husband, but she has something to live for. She has everything to live for now.]

She's a little beacon of hope in the darkness.

[littledhampir]

And she hasn't cried or tried to throw up on my once so I kind of feel like she might even like me.

[Flashing Myri a small grin, Rose far more relaxed than she had been when she first walked into the room; Terrified she was going to break Shayla.]

[witchwoman]

Of course she likes you. [Myri says, as if that was never anything worth debating.] How could your niece not love you?

[littledhampir]

[Those words all but startle Rose, her gaze lifting from Shayla to Myri and it takes her a moment to really process it. It's something Rose has never felt in any real sense until coming here. Family. She even knows it's not the veil taking that from her. It's just how her life was before now but just like Helen likening her to a daughter had wrapped around her, so was hearing Myri call her own daughter, Rose's neice.]

Auntie Rose... [Her smile taking form as she tries it out for the first time.] Has a pretty good ring to it I think.

[It's not at all hard to see that Myri has just made Rose's day.]

[witchwoman]

[Smiling warmly, Myri just nods and continues to enjoy the time with two of her favorite people. She could really do this all day, just talking with Rose and watching her daughter exploring the new world around her.]
