~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Raju smiled as his gaze rested on Renner. He liked that his boyfriend looked every bit the proud papa bear he should always be. He could already tell that those three kiddos would do great things and make Ren even prouder. And yes, that sort of hazard, the hazard of losing contact with persons, when one was a nomad could be difficult. Even though Raju was no coach for the Catapults, the job still required him to travel so he was still at risk for that sort of thing. The only difference now was that the man knew how to handle the situations better than he had in his younger days. “Thanks, love,’’ he said with another smile. “How early do you think the kids would want to get started with their exploration tomorrow?” Vi felt somewhat self conscious as Vesper’s gaze took him in. He even squirmed slightly before reaching for the boat he had been sailing earlier. But her words had him smiling just a tad. “Yeah, I’ve been told that too. It’s fate, I guess.” If one believed in that sort of thing; the ladies who ran the orphanage often told him that the universe had conspired to make him be one of the next greatest Chasers. “Okay.” Vi finally found his words again. “Whenever you think the time is right.” He might be calm on the exterior but on the inside? Man, the little guy was thrilled! “Good, then you should do all that you can to see it all.” Vi was one hundred percent sure that Vesper would regret not seeing everything, should that happen, once she went back home and replayed the vacation in her mind. “Well, good luck with the jewellery. And have fun while you’re here.” He wasn’t going to let her be stuck with him when she had jewellery to make and places to explore. If he couldn’t meet Raju now, then he’d just head back to the other kids and the matrons. |
