A Rare Chapter With No Birthdays
Hey Daniel. Kieran's off over to Aunt Verity's now, coming?
Daniel: I'm reading.
So many flashbacks to a previous heir, here. Fine, stay here and don't get in Erik's way of cleaning.
Erik: Why do I always have to clean?
Kieran: Hey there cousin.
Rosa: Why do I have to babysit you? It's not fair. I wanted to meet up with my boyfriend, but noooo.
Kieran: *rolls eyes* You could just tell them you're taking me to the park. You can meet him and I can go on the swings and not be stuck in boring indoors.
Kieran: Whhheeee!
This shot is of Tober teaching Caitlyn to talk, but also for the cuteness factor of it. I know I did nearly a full update on cuteness last time, but still... I love the colour of her eyes too.
Daniel: I'm booorrreeeed.
Go to the park with your brother then. He's having fun.
Daniel: But I don't like people. They're even more boring than having no books.
Kieran: And this is the gate to stop the orcs and if that doesn't then this is the place an archer can go to shoot them and POW they're dead...
Daniel: See. People are silly.
Kris: Come on Soph. Come over to daddy and you can have a big cuddle!
Sophie: Daddy!
Sophie: Oops.
Kris: Never mind baby, how about that cuddle anyway?
Sophie: Cwuddle!
Daniel eventually agrees to try going and doing this socialising thing.
Daniel: Kieran! You're in my way!
Kieran: But I was here first! Look at my sandman he's really big now!
Is it really so bad?
Kieran: Let's have a competition who can build the biggest and bestest tower!
Daniel: My hands are getting dirty. Can I go home yet?
Erik: Who's a good little boy? Eh?!
Kieran: Get...off...
Kieran: Ewww, Uncle Erik!
Erik: What? Have you done another prank?
Kieran: No, just get off me!
Tober: You haven't seen Kieran have you? The school says he hasn't turned up. And Sophie's screaming and Caity still needs to be taught to walk and it's all going wrong!
*In pantomime style*He's behind you!
Tober: Oh no, he isn't!
Oh yes he is!
Kieran: Excellent, while they're distracted being silly adults I can go and find a new hiding place.
Tober: There you are! Don't you know that school is important? You need to go!
Kieran: *thinking* I wish I'd found a better hiding place, like behind a big rock.
Gabrielle: Are you Daniel CrumpleSteel? You live with my daddy don't you?
Daniel: Umm. Yes. Uncle Erik. 'Cept he's not really our uncle cuz he's not related to us and...
Gabrielle: Do you want to be friends?
Daniel: Umm. Maybe. My brother says I don't have any friends because I'm boring. I don't want you to think I'm boring.
Gabrielle: I don't. I think you're nice.
Gabrielle: *whispers* I think your brother smells.
I leave you with a caption contest.
