--I'm just saying!

[Offended!!]

[motioned]

[She shakes her head again. Not hungry!]

[retraced]

Okay, but -

[He frowns suddenly, as though he's just remembered something.]

It's cold in here...because the power is off. Isn't it?

[motioned]

[She tilts her head. Did it?]

1/5

[retraced]

[He leans forward and groans. This day just keeps getting worse.]

Duke Barma will be upset if his computer doesn't work...but maybe this way Break will stop bothering him about it.

2/5

[retraced]

--Oz will wake up cold if I don't go and set the fire in his room.

3/5

[retraced]

Jack and Elliot will probably be upset that they can't play any games on the television.

4/5

[retraced]

[BUT THE WORST THING OF ALL -

GASP!!!]

5/5

[retraced]

THE FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR WILL ALL GO BAD!!

[Wasted food: UNACCEPTABLE.]

[motioned]

[She waves her wings around a little bit. Don't panic, Dad!]

[retraced]

This is terrible...!

[Nope, still lamenting over spoiled food over here.]

[motioned]

[Then he gets another Look.]

[retraced]

[Your Look is lost on him, Ahiru. But he does come back down to earth long enough to reach over and pick her back up, tucking the ink and paper into one of the pockets of his sleeping pants.]

I'll have to start fires in all the fireplaces first, then I can start a bath for you.

gdi ignore me

[motioned]

[She shakes her head, pointing to the ink and then to the desk. Is it really okay to just take that?]

[retraced]

It's fine, I'll replace it later.

[Better than leaving her completely voiceless. But off we go to the largest sitting room!]

[motioned]

[She makes sure to keep as still as she can, not wanting to fall off.]

[retraced]

As soon as they're there, he sets her down on the couch and then crosses the room to the fireplace. There's already a few logs there, and more outside in one of the sheds. This will be enough to keep the fire going for the day, at least.]

[motioned]

[She watches with interest, waiting for him to come back and get her.]

[retraced]

[It doesn't take him long, and as soon as it's lit he comes back for her.]

You're still all right? [He asks as he reaches out to offer her his hands again.]

[motioned]

[She nods, climbing up onto his hands.]

[retraced]

[He finishes the other rooms just as quickly, but even Gilbert has to admit that he's getting exhausted much faster than usual. Whatever extra kick of strength his contract had given him (it has to be the contract, he reminds himself) is gone, and it's pitiful feeling that all he can think about is a nap. But he still smiles gently, but tiredly at Ahiru as he finally goes to pick her up again.]

All right, let's clean you off now.

[In the kitchen, because that's the only place he's going to be able to warm up any water. And even though she's a duck and ducks are probably used to swimming in cold lakes outside, he's not going to force his precious daughter into gross cold water!!]
