 Fortress of Brilliance ღ Mommy Quad
Emmylyne's face screwed up in puzzlement, finding it rather odd Lainie's napping was going on three hours. She could never keep her asleep during the afternoon for more then two hours, if not just one. And to her knowledge, Laih hadn't stayed up with the older kids because they had sent Dustin, Valencia and Savina off to bed earlier then normal since that following morning, today, they had things to do early.
Once the young man's handsome face was cleared of mud, and blood, and whatever else that she cared not to mention, Emmylyne left the wash cloth in the bowl, off to the side. Twisting the lid off the small circular container she held in one hand, Emmy subconsciously wrinkled her nose at the thick yellow paste. Bruise-healing goop, didn't look pretty. Nonetheless, she dipped two fingers in, and rubbed it upon few bruises visible on Benjamin's face, the cuts were cleaned moments before, and his swollen eye looked normal again, courtsey of magical medicine.
Busying herself like she would at work, with a patient, helped ignore the problems at hand and battle inside herself. Now standing before the sink, she washed off the yellow paste from her hands before it had a chance to absorb into her skin like it had on Benjamin's face. Pausing at the question, Her earth toned orbs met his chocolate brown ones momentarily before dropping her gaze; turning the water off and turned to grab the dish towel. "Jenny and I don't speak often, Benji. But Jodie tells me she's fine,"
"It seems so. And I know you do, you'll get to but lets allow her to sleep abit longer..once she comes downstairs and finds out everything, I reassure you Laih won't go back to sleep till she drops from exhaustion." Emmy said, knowing fully well that was their daughter. Yes, she was concerned about Lainie discussing the present things but this wasn't a cover. She wanted the little one to know her father, she wanted everything to be okay again too, and they had to start somewere.
Pulling herself from a train of thoughts, Emmylyne used a nonverbal spell to clean up what she'd taken out. Rolling up her sweater sleeves, she used her left hand to fan herself, feeling more and more sick. "Nik?..Oh, yeah..he's suppose to be coming by on his way through town, today.." Her voice trailed off, an uncertain look played upon her face.
Bending down in a sitting position on the carpet, knees tucked under her, Elissa spread the blanket out while listening to the conversations around her; setting and swaddling Ashton down in the zoo print thin blanket (perfect for a summer evening), Eli smiled and cuddled him close in her arms, standing again after the newborn accepted his pacifier. "We'll have to save that jersey for Finnie's next game, I don't think it'll survive if we put it on now." She had changed Ashton's outfit three times so far, the reasons ranged widely.
"I'm well. It's been alot more comfortable walking..and moving, everyday things, compared to afew months ago." She responded with a lopsided smile, a real one though her confusion hadn't drifted..not in the least. "I'd ask how you are, but it looks like you were bulldozed by an army tank. Am I wrong to assume it was something close and along those lines?"
