[Action / Accidental (sort of) Voice]

[Backdated due to mun being occupied 8D

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.

[And then she grabs him by the lapels, rolls, and flips him right into the river.]

[.............. That was a lot less painful than he was expecting. Caught him off-guard, shocked him a little, but he'll take this over getting punched through a wall or something.

After he lands, resurfaces, and shakes off the "I just got flipped into the river, what" feeling, he'll just get to work with forcing himself to stand and getting out of there. Being in the river feels nice when it's hot out, but not in what he's wearing.]

... Guess I deserved that.

[Judith leans back, dusting her hands together. Job well done.]

I felt it was best to wash your mouth out, as an example.

[And... somewhat delayed, but Jonah starts doing his baby giggle. Daddy had a whoopsie, tee hee..]

[Both Jonah and his mother are getting a sigh and a bit of the ol' line-face treatment in response to that. Deserved or not, there are totally better ways to set an example for that D| ... But not only are they worse than what she did, he's not about to give her any ideas. And Jonah, how dare you laugh at your father, you little trouble-maker :|]

Right, right ... I get the message. [He'll just ... wring out the front of his shirt now. And his hair. ... Was it always this long? Oh well.]

[Hm, mission accomplished, so she can relax again. She sits down in the sand again, ruffling a bit out of Jonah's hair, then pats the spot beside her.]

Come and sit. You'll dry faster in the sun.

[He'll just nod and walk over, sitting beside her. Ugh, clothes sticking to him D| Bleh. But the sun will dry him off faster, like she said, so he'll just deal with it. It's also around that time that the whole thing hits him -- Jonah actually said something for the first time. Not something he should be proud of him saying, but still. ... And considering some of the other words that have come flying out of his mouth in the kid's presence while looking through the journal, he's just glad "shut up" is the only thing that stuck.

... Dear god does he hope it's the only thing that stuck. Or else he'll really get his ass handed to him.

Regardless, after a moment or two of silence--]

... Talking already, huh. Not the best set of first words, but it's something.

[Judith folds her hands together, resting them on her knees and letting a little smile cross her lips.]

He's grown a lot. Before long it'll have been a year.

Yeah, you're right. [Wow. Damn. He lays back on the grass, staring up at the sky.] Almost a year already ... [... And almost another year since he first arrived ...

...

... He needs to get out of here. He needs to get his family out of here. This is getting ridiculous.]

[She shifts a little in the sand, her toes digging through it; she'd removed her boots earlier since Jonah would've filled them with sand somehow anyway.]

...By now he'd be calling to the Entelexeia, if we were home.

[At that, Yuri looks over at her.]

... He can do that at his age?

Well, there are no guarantees. He's half-human, after all. [Looking pointedly at him now.] But It's very likely; communicating with the Entelexeia involves more than just words.

Huh ... I'd say it's too bad that there aren't any around for us to be able to tell, but this isn't a good place for them. [Or anyone else for that matter, but the Entelexeia especially.]

It wouldn't be so bad if Ba'ul was still small, but with the way he is now... [Yeah, it's not a good idea. She still misses him something awful, though.]

Yeah. He wouldn't do too well, what with the lack of space to move around in. [He's just. Not going to bring up the "and everyone would try to kill him on sight" part.]

[Judith would have to rain down the wrath of Krityan spear doom on anyone who tried.]

It's better to avoid thinking about it, I find. He's fine where he is.

Yeah, you're right. [He's taking that as a cue to not continue going on about Ba'ul.]

[Which is much appreciated. She doesn't want to end up unhappy, and this is a nice day and all.]

So what sort of words will you be teaching him next?

Nothing that'll end with me in the river again, that's for sure.

Perhaps the sort of noises his parents make at night?

[FFFFFF pointedly looking away and hoping the annoyed look on his face trumps how red it is.]

C-Come on, he can't repeat stuff like that! [Hopefully. No one would realize what it was supposed to be if he did anyway, right? Yeah. Totally.]

Oh, you never know. Krityans are very perceptive.

[Yeah she sees you blushing bb.]

[Lies, he is invisible.]

Yeah well, if he does, you just have to teach him not to. [Yeah. You. Because it would clearly be your fault, Judy |:]

Oh, so it's my responsibility to teach him everything, now?

[Good, banter. At least that'll make him stop feeling so embarrassed.]

No, just that for now.

[At least until she embarrasses him again.]

In exchange you have to change all his diapers.
