Enjoying the moments was right. The man had no idea--yet. "Little girls are especially tricky. Gonna be times when you completely throw your masculinity out the door just to keep her happy if she's that sort. Others time you might have to remember about rough housing." Demi didn't as much fall into this all but Sophie.....yeah...delicate little ball of energy she was.
Specific ways to discipline? Hmmm..."I recommend finding things they especially like then taking them away. The moment they know you mean business they comply. Ignoring works other times. They sometimes get a little..........unreasonable with tantrums." Other kids. His didn't anymore. Not usually. "Silencing charm helps with that." It made ignoring a WHOLE lot easier.
And look, the wayward children had finally remembered their manners. Little attention was given to Demetria; he had come to understand she wasn't a talker and when she was, she wasn't a talker of nice things. Some people thought she was simply mean spirited, he knew better. His youngest sons though...he raised a brow. "Boys."
His brothers were doing it again. He would have told them not to but he always thought it was funny and just maybe this time with his Daddy standing there he didn't have to be the responsible one but could snicker as they went--until their father put a stop to it at which point he turned his attention back to the man with no brooms. "Potions??? Will they make me fly??? Can I go really really REALLY high up and touch the top of the building and zoooooom around like this??" He asked, extended his arms to the side and running in circles around them making whooshing noises. "Then I can be like a super hero and Demi can fly too but we won't race if she doesn't wanna. What'd ya think, Demi?" He didn't stop spinning and zooming as he asked, much too excited now.
Was he going to keep talking to her? Even while the man smiled, she found herself slowly inching back and behind her father's leg. From there she watched her twin brother zooming this way and that. She wanted to have a flying potion too but not if she had to say so first. When asked, she simply nodded towards Christopher, displaying her consent before facing the man again. Still no words.
HE CALLED HER A LADY!! Sophie couldn't help the ripples of giggles escaping her. She REALLY liked him. "I'm not just a Lady, I'm a Princess, that means I get a crown. Eleanor got one too but," She leaned in super close and gestured for him to get lower so she could reach his ear before continuing "she lost hers and Mummy says she isn't buying her a new one. It's not so bad though, she just has to borrow Daddy's crown when he's not using it." Oh! Oh! Oh! "DO YOU HAVE A CROWN??" Oh...too loud. Sophie clamped her hands over her mouth for a moment before twisting to look up at her father. "Sorry Daddy." SEE? Whispering.
Connor was about to gush into a full on protest because he did NOT EAT BOOGERS EVER except that one time but it was an accident...sorta, when his father gave them that voice. He shot him a somewhat apologetic look before grinning up at Daddy's friend. "I lied. I'm Connor, he's Daniel."
Consider this bit of fun over. Daniel nodding a little in acknowledging he heard his father before waaaay more nods at the man. "Yup, I like being Daniel better."
"Is it true you,"
"really have flying potions?"
"We won't drink it all,"
"but we do wanna have some too." A habit they tended to fall into, finishing each other's sentences.
