He wasn't about to flamboyantly point out that she was smothering Jimothy at the moment, but he had his ways of showing rather than telling regardless.

Maybe she and he needed another conversation on the back of Apollo, his favorite abraxan, sooner than later.

So when Kinsay scooped Jimothy up, he cocked his brow at her and slowly dragged the shoelace until it was back in his possession and tucked into his pocket properly. He didn't want to interrupt Mercer and his moment anyway.

Speaking of, not only had Cooper watched mum pack it, he had tried to tone down what all mum had wanted to put into it. Since his hands were now idle with Kinsay having a sort of separation anxiety from her own pet...within the confines of their compartment...that left the obvious fall back of his camera, which he had already intended on bringing out anyway so it was hardly a disappointment. Chuckling to himself as his little brother spoke, the seventh year adjusted the lens and snapped a couple of shots while Mercer pulled things out of his bag. A couple close ups on both Mercer and Kinsay later, Cooper found his cue to bring out the shoelace again.

"Here, give this a go, Mercer. Play is an essential part of the feline world and Jimothy needs the opportunity to play in order to learn vital adult skills," he smiled as he passed it over to his little brother. The camera was, of course, ready to take more pictures too. "It's the perfect way to form a bond too."

As to Kinsay's inquiry, his lips pursed and he leaned back to look in the little pastry box from mum. "There may be some sour cherry cannoli..." he speculated as he moved a couple of things around with his finger. Cherry was among his favorite and he was not keen on things that were too sweet. "...but I don't think that is the sort of sour you're looking for. But I'll go halfsies with you if you want."

"Hello, Jimothy. You don't have to be afraid of boys. Like some boys are bad, but also some girls are bad. Boys aren't necessarily rougher than girls, I don't think. Maybe in your experience...?" He laid the shoelace on the seat between them and Jimothy pounced on it. "I promise that Hogwarts is going to be the best place you'll ever be in your life, and if Kizzy is busy and you need help, I will always help you, OKAY?" He didn't have a little brother or younger cousin to make vows for, but he had a kitten. And that was something.

Mercer sat up a little. "What's the very best and first thing I should do? After I get to the castle and get sorted and find my room and put away all my things, I mean. What next?"

This was different. Well, it wasn't all the different because those ducks were also Kinsay's children, much like lil J, but. But it was just different. It was. So any vibes she picked up from Cooper went ignored. It was fine. Everything was just fine. Except that she wasn't really in the mood to have her picture taken. But. Whatever.

Kinsay was also reluctant to let Mercer play with Jimothy, but she tried not to hover and instead gave C her full attention- ... most of her attention- ... part of her full attention- ... She tried not to hover and, instead, gave C a sizeable chunk of her full attention. "Deal." He was right, sour cherry cannoli wasn't exactly what she had in mind. But. But it did sound good and she had kind of refused to eat before boarding the train. So. So maybe having half wouldn't hurt.

She wiggled in her seat, her fingers twitching as she looked at her baby kitten. He was too small for this world. Hogwarts would be so hard for him. Next year, she'd convince mum and dad to let them BOTH stay home. "Take a nap, that's what I do." Kinsay was quite serious. The first day was always the most exhausting. It was already exhausting. Even now.
