~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

By all means, Vera! You were more than welcome to cling to Vasco for as long as you needed; Vasco clearly did not care. Raju may strongly like the oldest Thanatos girl but he by no means was ready to be barfed upon. The assumption that he had been let in on the tidbit of her potentially being sick had been passed to Raju. He was also grateful that the girls had no objection to the sleeping arrangements. Yes, they were both getting older but this was a cottage, and cottages weren’t usually that big. Raju did intend to ensure that the three almost-adult-kids each have their own rooms on future excursions though! Renner’s solution to any issue with the current sleeping arrangements, however! He so wanted to burst out into a fit of laughter but it was with great difficulty that he kept a straight face.

Raju held the door open for the rest to troop through. It was then that he heard the next question from Vera. Honestly, the poor guy hadn’t realised just how much kids of all ages asked so many dang questions until he started dating Renner. He was still adjusting and doing his best to answer as honestly as possible while leaving no room for loopholes. Mercifully, he had learnt quite quickly that these kids were super smart and could easily wiggle their way out of situations where they were forbidden from something. “I don’t see why not. Excellent idea, Vera!’’ Raju shot a glance at Renner; after all, he was the kids’ father. Raju did not ever want to overstep.

“Yes, Vesper,’’ he confirmed after smiling and nodding at Ren’s suggestion. “Looks like we’ve found our first activity of the trip! Also, only if you’re hanging onto the back of your father or myself can you ride one.’’ So once he and Ren did look into things, then the younger trio would get their wish. As for surfing? Well, that was up to Renner. If Vasco was any good at surfing, Raju would say yes but as it was, he wasn’t sure what skill level that was. "Who knows what other activity you'll find waiting for you three." The knowing look to Ren was returned.

Speaking of questions… “You three should do some exploration of the place as soon as you have the time.” Raju grinned before actually snorting. Almost is the key word there, I should think.” That was his way of saying Vera nor Vasco would be drinking any wine. “But don’t worry. Your father and I will drink enough wine for you both,’’ he added cheekily.

Phew! Parenting was hard work. Was it parenting though, if he wasn’t exactly the three kiddos’ parent? Why was this so confusing? Why was he overthinking it?

Anyway, the Quidditch coach truly appreciated Vasco, Vera and Vesper for expressing their happiness with the cottage. It really helped to lift the nervous burden that had been weighing on his muscular shoulders. He leaned into Renner’s side and made shooing motions to the kids. “Go on. We’ll reach back here in half an hour.” It may not be enough time to fully unpack but it would be enough to get a few essential belongings put away. As for Raju, he usually travelled lightly, a habit since his Quidditch playing days so there wasn't that much for him to put away. He allowed himself to be steered toward his and Ren’s room.
