Juliet looked away from him, but wasn't really sure why she did. "Well, you can go upstairs and take a nap. It's about time for Qhuinn's anyway." She offered. She then chuckled softly. "And how can you not be full? That was a big plate of food."
Zackary looked down at the food. A pause. He burped. Again. “Dunno,” He said with a slight, breathy awe-struck voice. He sniffled a little and looked back up at her. “So uh…” He trailed off, his face distorting into a weirdly scrunched up one.
Juliet rolled her eyes, laughing slightly, her spirits rising. But when she sat the look on his face….they plummeted. "Zack?" She tested nervously. Not again…
Zackary sat there for a few moments, that expression still on his face. Then he exploded into a loud sneeze, his head shaking wildly, like a dog would when it sneezed.
Julie's relief was instant. She sighed, almost laughing hysterically. "Bless you." she told him with a smile. She passed him and went to the living room. She took Qhuinn into her arms, kissing the boy as his eyes remained glued on the chewable keys in his hands.
Zackary inhaled loudly, sitting up better in his posture. “I HAAAATE SNEEZING!” He hated sneezing, apparently. He more or less told himself this, as he did every time he sneezed. Cus he hated it.
"Why?" Juliet returned to Zack, Qhuinn in her arms. The boy dropped his toy when he saw Zack and his large wings. Squealing, her reached out for him.
Zackary flopped back down onto the floor with a shuddering sigh, his eyes half-closing again.
“They’re… stupid.”
(Qhinn's just like 'Pay attention to meeee!')
(Qhuinn’s such a swwweeetiiieee)
((I love the precious babe so much))
Whining, Qhuinn squirmed in his mother's arms until she had to put him down. He crawled over to Zack, resting his head on the man's chest as he stared at him with wide blue eyes, giggling. Juliet shook her head at the two. "Could you guys not rest on the floor….in the foyer….right in front of the front door?"
Zackary grabbed the child into a hug and snuggled up to him, grinning. “Let’s sleep here. It’s a wonderous idea.” He beamed.
She folded her arms, smiling. "So you two are gonna stay down here?" She asked as Qhuinn squealed once more, closing his eyes as he smiled at Zack.
Zackary giggled as Qhuinn smiled. “Uhuh. We’ll be fiiine.” He waved a hand. “We’ll stay down here.”
Juliet returned the wave as Qhuinn rested his head in the crook of Zack's neck. She gave a faint smile and went towards the steps. "Alright…" She shrugged. "There's a bottle in the fridge for Qhuinn."
Zackary curled his body up around the child and nestled his head into the smol with a faint croon. He shut his eyes, smiling a bit.
Juliet's heart melted at the sight of the two and she went to her room wearing a smile that held mixed emotions. Gooeyness, joy, and a pang of jealousy. Qhuinn was her baby, she had spent months trying to in his little heart, but Zack comes in and he seems so much happier with him than her. It was petty to feel that way, she knew it. As she opened her laptop and worked, she fought the feeling away.
(Did ya wanna skip or did you want to do more with her research?)
((Skip, plz))
(Yeet to when?)
(Maybe a few days later? I can inject some drama *cough, cough With Todd cough, cough OOH! What if he was a demon who desired a deal with Julie, but Zack got there first. After all, he's only know he for a year))
(YES HELLO I FEEL LIKE I WAS SUMMONED.)
(gRRR NO NO MORE TODD
Todd will die a most painful death if he comes up again extremely high-pitched authot laughing)
((Dang okay XD, what should we do next then?
Todd: Why do you hate meeeeee, dude?))
(I’m being petty for Zack.
Great idea for the thing tho but murder isn’t fun.
Maybe we could skip a few weeks?)
