[Lets the boy scrunch away, she doesn't care like her daughter does.]

She likes Miss Barnabas?

[Billie takes the chocolate with a mumble] Thank you... [Billie seems to be a touch shy]

[Ianto smiles pleased at the little girl before looking at Del as he stands up.]

Possibly but more in that she's very pretty.

[Gethin lets go of the hair and looks up at Ianto.]

Tad?

Hmmm?

What's a Miss Barc B..Barn...Barnabas?

Hmmm? Oh, it's a pet.

Like Myfanwy?

Mmmhmm. Only she's a dog.

[Gethin nods before looking over at Billie and leaning in.]

I have a pet too. She's a dinosaur!. [Gethin whispers, his eyes wide]

She's saucy~

[Beams down at the little boy, and then nudges Miss Barnabas forward from where she's crowding Del's knees. Billie immediately drapes over MB and whispers something in her fuzzy ear before giggling. MB wuffs a little bit of doggy laughter, and tries to say hello to Gethin.]

[Gethin looks at Miss Barnabas with a curious grin toddling closer to her. He giggles when the dog tries to say hello, his eyes closing as he nuzzles the dogs fur. Ianto looks on in amusement and then glances over at Del.]

Do you want help looking after her love?

[He asks looking around to check if they were alright, regarding food and toys.]

[Doesn't want to pile things on him but...]

Uhm...

[He smiles and leads her away from the children to let them play, sitting Del down instead.]

I'll take that as a yes shall I? Alright I'll help you.

I'll tell you what, we can do one of two things.

Firstly, you can stay with me for a few days whilst this current game the castle is playing runs along and then I can help look after her when you get a little stuck hmmm?

Or you can stay here and I'll drop in to make sure that you're both okay and that she gets to bed on time and is fed.

[Looks around the room at the lions she can see in the corner]

With you. With Coffee is better, right? We'll be quite like mice.

[He ruffles her hair and smiles]

With me is fine and you don't have to be quiet. Well lets get your stuff together and Billie's. It can be a little adventure for her and she'll have Gethin to play with.

Miss Barnabas can come too?

[Is going about gathering things. But she ends up with hand fulls of odds and ends that wouldn't actually be useful to the child if they were going to stick around for a couple of days.]

Umm...Of course.

[Reorganises his room in his mind. He then notices what she's packing and smiles before getting up. He packs a bag of his own with the stuff that the two would actually need smiling at the sound of the children laughing.]

[Watches the kinds of things he packs, and looks at her odd assortment a little sadly. Quietly puts her bits down and follows him around instead.

She will learn. She would make this work.]

[Ianto looks up as she follows him and notices her putting the stuff down. He then hands her the bag he's holding and smiles fondly at her. Deciding to tell her what to put in, instead.]

Why don't you put in some of her clothes in here and then some of yours?

[Glances down at her clothing. It was usually just there when she wanted it, so she would ignore that idea. Goes and collect some of her baby's clothing, holding pieces this way and that as she figures out what they are]

Those are good, get a few more that look like those love and some little shoes.

[He informs her as he gathers up a few of Billie's toys]

[The little shoes are so cute, and Del plays with them a moment before tucking them away into the bag as well.]

[Ianto chuckles packing what he can before looking over at Del]

Are you done sweetheart?

[Shrugs. Sure, why not? And stands with the bag in her hand.]

Yes?

[Nods and then looks over at the children and claps to get their attention.]

Billie, Gethin come over here please. Bring Miss Barnabas as well please.

[Billie bounces up, and pulls on Miss Barnabas to make her come too. Billie really didn't need to do that, since MB was moving almost before the children, but hey.]

Okay now we're all going over to my room and you'll get to stay their for a few days. Won't that be fun. Now, Gethin, hold Billie's hand for me. Billie you keep a hold of Miss Barnabas okay? Let's all keep together.

[He announces holding the door open to let the troupe walk through.]

[Del giggles at the line of duckings he's made, and follows after with Billie's things in hand.

Billie has her fist clinging to MB, and looks a little uncertainly at Gethin as she holds his hand.]

[Ianto looks back at her with a grin before ushering them to his room.

Gethin looks at Billie with a toothy grin before he swings her arm and starts marching down the hall. However, it soon turns into skipping when he gets a bit bored]

[Billie skips with him happily. Much more entertaining than a forced march.]

[Ianto sighs as he ferries them safely to his room opening the door. He chuckles pleased to see that the castle has given him an extra room and expanded the on that they were entering.]

Well, at least we won’t be tripping over each other. <

i>[He takes the bag from Del and sets it off to the side. ]

Now, who’s up for something to eat?

[Billie, excited from all the skipping, bounces up and down]
