Apartment Above Wellspring Arms, Tuesday Afternoon

[mouthy_merc]

Everyone else was back to normal and so Wade was biding his time for his return of thumbs. And normal vocal cords. That chick with the laptop just hadta be about to change him back. Right?

Right?

Eh, screw it. He learned how to open the fridge like this. He was set for freakin' life.

Nate sighed, reaching up to cover Jan's eyes with his hand to help Wade with his escape. "She'll survive," he said, wryly.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Says you!" Flee, Wade! Flee!

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Nate watched him go with more than a little bit of wry amusement in his eyes. He set Jan back down as soon as he was out of the room. "Don't forget about the takeout," he said, evenly.

Once Tether was set back down and Wade had lovely lovely clothing back on, he was going to do what he wanted since he turned into a dingo.

He changed the channel away from CNN.

"Ohhh yeeeeeah."

Nate was pretty sure he could spot a fox peeking around a door in an attempt to judge whether it was time to join the circus, too. He sighed.

Jan padded around the couch to finally achieve her goal, being Wade's leg, and Nate leaned over the back of said couch. "Satisfied?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

""Very!" Wade hauled the kid up to watch TV with him. "But no more nudity around the kid. That's years of therapy just waitin' to happen, man."

"Like I said," Nate said, dryly, "She'll get over it."

His eyes flicked down. "You've got sauce on the back of your head."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"...do not." So, so did.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Nate graciously leaned over to flick it off with his finger. "Not anymore."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Wade eyed him. "You are so the chick in this relationship."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

That just got him a real smack upside the head.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"It's okay, Jan. He hits because he loves."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Don't believe a word he says," Nate told Jan, kindly.

Jan just clung to Wade's body with a giggle.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"So... you hit out of spite?" Wade asked.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Only when necessary," he said, and finally made the trip required to sit down on the couch next to him.

And promptly had a kid shoved at him. With loooove.

"Now, it's time for Dora. Jan needs to be bilingual, you know. Something-lingual, at least." A beat. "You teachin' her that wacky Askani too? I betcha are."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"She already has a background in it," he said, taking the kid and holding her up for a moment.

He might've muttered an Askani word or two and gotten a giggle (and some drool) in return.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Eeeew.

"See, now I can ask her what the hell you're sayin'."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"She's two," Nate pointed out, "But good luck with that."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Ah, but she'll be older in a few years."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Nate's mouth quirked, and he set Jan down on his lap. "I didn't realise you wanted to know..."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Well, when you say it in bed enough, a guy gets a mite curious, Nate my man."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"And talking about this is more acceptable than nudity?" Nate had to ask, torn between being exasperated and amused. He glanced at Jan. "At what age were you planning to ask?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Wade eyed him. "How dirty are we talkin' then?"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't you like to know..."

Jan babbled something about Dora and pointed at the screen. "I see it," he assured her.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"...you are a dirty man."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"And you don't make assumptions..." Nate said, smirking.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Kiiiinky."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Not until Dora's done."
