Maybe some want a souv-" before he could even finish his sentence, she'd moved on, away from him, and the father of nine shook his head in despair. "Change your face, young lady. And remember your manners. We can always take you home right now if you carry on like this." He'd lowered his voice and bent his knees a little so as to be on level with her, and so that the other people didn't hear and thing they were having a family domestic.

Because they sooo weren't, okay?

And she'd continued moving... Away from them, towards this machine. If they weren't careful, she was going to use up all of the bear making stuff and he predicted that that could cause a riot.


Having her Mummy squeeze her hand made the five year old feel a little better, and she gave a huge gap-toothed grin up to her. "Okay. Do you think they have anything for Mr. Snuggles to eat?" This was a picnic for the teddy bears, after all. No matter what Saffron thought, Lilah couldn't help but disagree - she thought this whole place was positively delightful. And she would have voiced that thought if she could pronounce that word, because no other word would suffice. Wiggling her toes in her shoes a little, she held back a squeal. Was she allowed to go and HUG the HUUUUUGE bear?

Was she allowed to KEEP him? He could sit at the end of her bed and read stories with her and give her cuddles when she was sad and Mummy was busy. Like last week, when she cut her finger but Jorgie had been crying. Lilah could have used him then. Sucking on her bandaged finger, she emitted a muffled "Tut, tut." at her older sisters antics, and shook her head in what she clearly thought was a very grown up and disapproving way. Naughty Saffron. Daddy should SHOUT at her. And she should get treats for being so perfectly well behaved.

Now, onto more important things. Did she know anyone here? OH. Caspy Greenwood. Hi. Waaaaaving at you.
Lorelai smiled over at Oliver and Casper, giving a look to convey that she would wave if she had a free hand. One was taken by one of her darling girls and the other by her equally as attractive other half. Glancing towards Adam she smiled and nodded. "I suppose I'll have to get one if the girls are. Do you want one? Or are you content enough with cuddling me in your sleep?" He was a cuddler. She knew it. He knew it. They all knew it. But what a pretty face to wake up to. No complaints at all. As he dealt with their eldest daughter, she released his hand to pay particular attention to the other Stemp they had with them. Lilah. The most well-mannered of their brood, and definitely the one who enjoyed baking time the best.

She had came a long way since the toddler who helped herself to a whole tub of Nutella a few years ago.

"You ignore Saffy, my love. She's as high strung as your Daddy and needs everything to be perfect. How would you like to pick some food? Or go talk to people?" She gave her a kiss on the temple, and adjusted the bear in Lilah's arm so he could see the whole room properly. "And how about your bear? What would he like to do today? He must have a million ideas. This is his day, isn't it?" Lori didn't need to fray her attention to Saffron and Adam because she knew very well her husband could handle the little terror that the Princess was.

And she much liked to spend time with Lilah.


WELL OKAY. Daddy was going to be as much of a spoil sport as the hosts of this UN-pink charade. Saffsy looked back at him and RAISED HER LITTLE EYEBROWS. "I can't go home. No one is there and little Lilah would be incredibly sad. Wouldn't you Liiiii?" She made sure to give Lilah one of her bestest 'agree-or-die' looks in secret and then looked back to her Daddy in hopes that he would stop treating her like an escaped criminal and as if she had gone ahead and stolen something incredibly valuable. She had ONLY voiced her opinion about her surroundings, WHICH she had always been encouraged to do. Although her parents had also always said that if she had nothing nice to say then she should say absolutely nothing.

Not that she cared very much.

SHE WAS OFF ON HER TRAVELS ANYWAY. PRINCESS SAFFSY WANDERING ALONG ALL ALONE AND FREE.

Goodbye peasant family. Goodbye Lilahstinker. Goodbye unfair father.
