Ravenclaw Tavern [2]

Jackie

I nod, "That...sucks. So your hiding?"

Nic

I take another sip of my soda and think of the right word, "More like... wandering."

Jackie

I nod and finish my scotch, "Ah."

Nic

Jace stirs and wakes, remembering his food and mumbling something as he struggles to sit up and reach for it. I flash a smile and help him, bringing the plate closer.

Jackie

I watch the little boy and smile, "Hi," I wave at him, "What's your name?"

Nic

Jace smiles shyly and looks back at me. I nod and he looks at the girl.

"Jacey," he replies, glancing at his food, "I like Jacey."

Spoiler

oh my god he's adorable! <3333

Jackie

My heart leaps in my chest and I smile wider, "Nice to meet you Jacey...I'm Jackie."

Spoiler

Lol. <3

Nic

I smile and watch him. He eats some of his food before looking back and setting a hand on my face, looking at me.

"Niccy," he says, "Niccy that's Jackie."

Spoiler

i'm laughing so hard <33333.

Jackie

I chuckle and nod, "Hello, Niccy."

Rayah wakes, yawning before trying to climb on my shoulders. I sighs and let her do what she wants. She ends up falling and I gasp, swearing and bolting to her, "Ray?" I ask, crouching infront of her. She blinks a few times before giggling and I sigh of relief, scooping her up and sitting down again with her on my lap.

Spoiler

Lol.

Nic

I redden at what Jace says and take his hand off my face, nodding. The little girl falls and Jackie swears, scooping her back up once she's declared okay.

"Uh oh," Jace says, looking back at his food.

Jackie

Rayah looks at the scrape on her elbow before frowning and making a cry face. I sigh and wrap my arms around her, "S'Fine. You'll be fine."

"Me has a boo-boo," she declares, "Make it better!"

I look at her, "I can't."

She crosses her arms and pouts and I stare At her before shaking my head.

Nic

Jace takes a handful of scrambled eggs and shovels it in his mouth, getting it all over his face. I chuckle and shake my head, taking a napkin, "There's a thing called a fork, Jae... You're supposed to use that."

Jackie

I smile at the little boy again and Rayah watches with curiousity, "That's Jacey," I tell her. She does a tiny wave and smiles, her two front teeth missing.

Nic

Jace waves at the little girl and squirms out of my grip, falling on the floor. Swearing, I set the napkin down and try to pick him up when he bolts to the other side of the bar.

Jace, get back here. Now.

He loses his smile and studies me, opening and closing his fists in challenge.

Jackis

I smile at them, entertained, and chuckle. Rayah giggles, watching Jace the whole entire time.
