B didn't seem to mind what he did, hell she wasn't even speaking to him that much anymore. He couldn't believe his daughter was growing up so fast.
Soon though he wasn't alone and he watched the little one explore the area. Children didn't bother him and truth be told he would have loved to have more than just the one, but it just wasn't in his card to do so. Looking up to the adult he assumed was the mother he gave a bit of a confused look and looked at his watch. "I guess I am. I just needed a moment and thought this place looked like a good place to sit for that."
He watched the little girl again, "How old is she?"
"Well you've come to the right place for that, yeah." Lex nodded, pouring herself a cup of what smelled like fresh coffee. Someone had been in here just before. Here's to hoping they knew their way around a coffee maker. Merlin knew she'd be disappointed otherwise.
"You wouldn't happen to have seen the bloke who made the coffee before leaving, would you?"
She watched the toddler over the rim of her mug, making sure she wasn't about to hurt herself or in some way bother the man who had come here for some peace.
Sip. Huh. Not bad at all.
Sip. "16 months." The kid was currently entertaining herself with running from the couch to the stool and back, lost in her own world and giggling away. Not a TEAR DROP IN SIGHT. At this rate, Lex wouldn't have to teach her the art of crying to get what she wanted. Emmerson already had it down pat.
"Decided she wasn't feeling the daycare today and made sure everyone knew it."
Another glance was spared at him. He looked familiar.
"Level 5, yeah?"
