"Yeah! I go get it!" He ran off. "Come on!" "You don't have to," Anneke assured her. "He'll come back with it. Do you want to sit?"

Ky hesitated then nodded. “Okay.” She shuffled towards one of the couches but still stayed close to Anneke, invading her personal bubble a bit. “How are things here?” She wiped at her face. “It’s been so long.”

"It has," she agreed, staying with Ky and keeping an arm around her. "Things are good; Raina is sitting up and trying to crawl now. And Peter said a few new words!"

She gestured; Peter was toddling behind her, and the servant remained seated with Raina, who babbled incoherently.

“Aww! Hi baby.” She shuffled towards Raina and bent down to her level. “How are you, precious?”

Raina paused and stared at her with wide eyes, mouth agape. Then she reached out and tried to grab Ky's nose.

Ky chuckled, smiling at her and taking her hand in her own to give it a gentle, playful shake. “Hi there! You’re adorable.” Ky offered her hands. “Up?”

"Ba ba ba ba ba!" The servant offered Raina to Ky, and Raina went silent, staring at her intently. "She's curious about you," Anneke said in amusement.

“I’m sure she doesn’t remember me.” Ky forced a sad smile, then glanced back at Raina and gently picked her up. “But that’s okay.” She made a silly face. “I’ll win you over… maybe.”

Ky chuckled, gently intercepting her hand. “Oh my goodness. You’re just as absolutely perfect as I remember.”

Anneke smiled proudly. "She's smarter by the day; she'll be doing math before long, I'm sure of it."

(Hahaha Oops How’s the semester going? I imagine you’re in the thick of things?)
Ky smiled, glancing at her mother. “She’s so big, oh my gosh.” Ky hugged Raina. “Perfect little baby sister.”

(It's going well. I'm definitely deep in the trenches now, but I'm enjoying the material and the prompts! I just got jumped by a muse yesterday and I'm seeing her through before I get my schoolwork done.)
Raina wrapped her arms around Ky's neck, babbling again. "I'm glad you two seem to be getting along," Anneke said. "She's a fine-tempered girl, to be sure."
