[Action / Accidental (sort of) Voice]

It's mid-morning, bright and sunny out, and Judith can be found at the edge of the river not too far from the Vesperia house, watching Jonah sit in the sand and derp around. Judy's got the journal open, her gaze shifting between the pages and her kid as he babbles away at the flowing water. It's relatively quiet and peaceful, and all seems right with the world, until the journal catches a little voice piping-]

....Shu-up!

[There's a long, extended pause, followed by a different voice entirely, one slightly ominous, as if carrying the promise of potential violence:]

Yuri.

He's so cu-- wait, was that his first words?

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

It seems so.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

It is still cute. Besides, it's good that he's already developing a character that early.

Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Tsuzuki. Nice to meet you, miss.

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

It's a pleasure. I'm Judith, and this one is Jonah. [There's a pause, and the next snapshot the journal takes is of a sandy little toddler who looks a lot like her - what with the pointy ears and hair antennae things - aside from the black hair.]

[The feed showing Tsuzuki's face now shows how he brightens at the sight of them.] Awww. Hello, Jonah!

How old is he?

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

[Jonah squints at the picture for a moment before squirming and disappearing again.]

He's ten months old now.

[Once the kid moves out of the frame, Tsuzuki's attention is again firmly on Judith.]

He's more advanced than I thought. Are his parents unusually bright, possibly?

[sultrytempest.livejournal.com]

I suppose he might be. He could be considered a half-breed- that may have affected his growth somewhat.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Tsuzuki stops when she says half-breed, as if it was a sensitive word for him. He quickly regains his smile.] So he gets the best of two worlds, then?

[She catches the pause, but refrains from asking, instead filing the information aside for later.] That's a nice way of looking at it.
