Maddox had only been half joking with his suggestion to allow Cosgrach to meet his children because the idea had amused him but he knew his children weren't always the best behaved. Hearing his colleague agree however, he felt there was really no harm in it. The man was a father now and once his little Helena started running around his world would end as he knew it. Sad fact but it was the truth.
As agreed, Maddox flooed home the moment the lunch bells began ringing for the students to gather in the Great Hall to collect his five and now here he was on his way to the courtyard with his little hoard. Sophie clung tightly to him as he gave her a piggyback. Daniel and Connor ran well ahead screaming and shouting excitedly at each other. Demetria walked closely by his side and Christopher was taking in everything with an avid curiosity that often worried the man.
"Glad to see you didn't change your mind." He said with a grin as he approached. The Courtyard was certainly big enough to accommodate the lot of them.
This place was HUGE. Christopher's eyes darted this way and that. Could he climb that tree? Did Demi wanna come too? It took all his restraint for the little boy NOT to run ahead like his younger siblings because being the absolute oldest he had to be the best behaved, right? He was ALSO completely and totally in charge so they had to listen to whatever he said and play the games he wanted them to play.
Why did Sophie get to have a piggyback ride instead of her? So what if she got one last time? It still wasn't fair and even less fair she had to waaaaalk all the way over here while her little sister got a ride so no, the 7 year old was not at all happy about that but she would secretly admit to being excited. Daddy NEVER let them go outside when they visited the castle.
Everything was so pretty up here! Sophie contentedly swung her feet as she clung tightly to her father. The four year old wasn't very tall and she bet she wouldn't see half this neat stuff if she was down on the GROUND with everyone else. "Daddy is that him?" She asked, when they approached a man she didn't know. "Hi! I'm Sophie! What's your name? Do you wanna hug Eleanor?" BEAM. Dumb question, everyone wanted to hold her stuffed rabbit. DUH.
"You can't catch meeee!" Connor announced as his little feet shuffled across the ground. He was so so so so so much faster than Daniel and always won when they played games like tag. Only time Daniel never lost was when they let Sophie play. She was ALWAYS slow. "I'm over HERE!"
"No fair, you cheated!" Daniel huffed even while chasing his identical other. "Daddy he's cheating, he's cheating!" The 3 year old didn't remember being told he was it and he didn't want to be it either because he was it last time and it wasn't fun.
