[ backdated to a bit earlier ]

[ since arriving, there was at least one thing different about her room here versus the one in Camelot's town. and that? was a very comfortable bed. on this morning, she had actually slept in a bit longer than she meant to so in her hurry to get out of bed, she accidentally bumps into someone ]

Forgive me, I-

[ .. someone else was here? still shaking off that groggy feeling, she sits up and glances down at the sleeping person beside her. .. no, not person, but persons! there was a small boy curled up in the middle of the bed with a very, for the lack of a better phrase, beautiful young man. unfortunately, this was her room and she hadn't a clue how they both ended up here ]

I shouldn't wake them...

[ still, she's going to be as quiet as she can as she attempts to get out of bed without disturbing the other two ]

[ Once the boy puts more attention in Gwen, Ganymede kind of squirms away. Those puppy eyes are met with a very dull and disapproving glare, and a huff. ]

If it's the castle, doesn't that mean there's nothing we can do about it? I don't want to play this creepy game.

What does it expect us to do? I don't know how to take care of children.

[ that glare? is met by a very disapproving glance in return, don't glare at the baby. it's not his fault ]

Yes, you're right. But I'm not going to abandon him, even if it is a 'creepy game.' No one deserves that.

We'll have to care for him. I don't either, but I'm sure we'll manage. I'm sure several people are finding themselves in similar situations right now.

[ Ganymede doesn't care how she looks at him, ha. But... he frowns in a different way when she mentions being abandoned. gah, grumpy and pessmistic as he is, he wouldn't wish that on someone ]

... Fine.

[ that earns a small smile. he was a little fussy but from experience, she knows it isn't fair to judge a book by its cover and his reply was proof enough of that ]

Thank you, Ganymede.

[ a little pause. this was awkward, wasn't it? the child she's holding shifts a little and stares over at Ganymede. Father, why aren't you smiling? ]

[ yes, yes it was very awkward. Ganymede is looking down at the boy kind of blankly. He probably doesn't even remember how to smile ]

He does kind of look like you.

[ he tentatively reaches out to pat the boy on the head. half because he doesn't know what else to do and have because he almost wants to double check that he's really there ]

[ don't let her know that, it'll become her mission to make him remember how ]

And.. you. Your eyes, I mean. I've never seen such blue eyes.

[ yeah, she's just going to shut up now. the boy seems to perk up a little and with a somewhat goofy smile, moves to catch his hand between both of his ]

[ he won't! not ever. ]

...I suppose so. I wouldn't really know.

[ he pauses at that little move from the boy and just..stares a bit wide eyed at him. Ahhh what does he do-- so he just sits there like that. ]

[ she watches the pair in silence for a moment before she shifts a little, offering the boy to him ]

If you wouldn't mind it, I think he'd like you to hold him.

... [ he looks mildly affronted by the idea. holding him...? ] But I don't know how to-- [ despite himself he has his arms held out. like he's afraid the kid would just drop if he didn't ]

You won't drop him.

[ a bit of reassurance before she carefully places him in his arms ]

... [ frowns a little and awkwardly holds the child... a little bit away from himself still like he's holding an object and not a person ]

[ it's a child, not a plague! ryne takes the initiative and moves a little closer to him, trying to wrap his arms around his neck. she takes a seat on the end of the bed, smiling.

you're doing good, ganymede! but she's here to take him away if need be ]

..Hey! [ he is so. so awkward about that. But he has to remember this is like..supposed to be his kid. He was going to be an uncle eventually...this is similar right?? Right? ]

..... [ nope, nope he still feels really awkward about holding this kid ]

[ cutest papa ever ]

I don't know how long he will be here.

[ she isn't looking at them at the moment. it's difficult to think that you have a child and it might be taken away in the next moment ]

[ most fail papa ever D8 ]

... It probably won't last long.

[ he speaks from experience, not exactly to be...well..rude and ganymede about it. ]

You're right, most likely.

[ she reaches out just in time for ryne to grab onto one of her fingers ]

That's how it always works.

[ the family closeness is kind of nice, even though they're all strangers :( Except of course Ganymede keeps it to himself aside from getting a little less tense about having Ryne is his arms ] What is his name..? I hope it's not ugly.

[ she thinks better on asking him to elaborate, but stranger or otherwise him saying something like that worries her. how it always work? ]

I'm not..

[ ryne lets her go in favor of resting his cheek on ganymede's shoulder ]

No, I think it's a very nice name.
