Family Ties|Raynham, Reave

[Devon]

Trevor leaned back away from his desk, he had worked overtime the past few days for this moment. Now that he was done he had about a weeks worth of time to relax and enjoy himself with Musette and his children. Rubbing his hands the leader of Reave left his office, closed and locked its door and made his way to their home. Before getting there, he stopped by the markets to purchase flowers for Musette and toys and sweets for the triplets.

At home, Musette sat fussing over the children. She had one of their daughters, Elegy, upon her lap and was working to gently clean the girl with a wet rag after the triplets had eaten. A servant assisted her with the other two.

"What am I going to do with you three?" Musette sighed as Elegy squirmed and fussed loudly. "Stop that now." She set the clean baby down upon the floor and reached for her son, Legato.

[Devon]

Legato happily reached up for his mother and went into her arms, cooing softly. Trevor entered the room quietly and made sure the servant who saw him first didn't alert Musette. Picking up Cantata and then Elegy he nuzzled both of the girls. "Hello my sweeties, daddy is home."

[Kender Bard]

The two girls giggled, Elegy continuing to squirm since she was picked up again. Cantata was more content to nuzzle her father back, babbling at him in a happy tone.

"Nnhgn!" Elegy whined and tried to lean out of his arms.

Musette glanced up from her fussing over Legato and smiled faintly. "Elegy has been in a mood all day," she announced.

[Devon]

"I see," Trevor said with a smile as he gave Elegy her wish and sat her down. Trevor gently tapped her nose and handed Cantata to a servant so he could go and get the gifts he brought. "For you Musette," he said as he handed over the lilies he had gotten. "And for the children," he held out three stuffed bears for Cantata, Elegy, and Legato.

[Kender Bard]

Cantata crooned in delight as her little hand touched material of her toy. Elegy began to gum hers as soon as she had a grip on it.

"Thank you," Musette murmured with a blush as she accepted the lilies. "They're very pretty. And must have been expensive." Flowers bought out of season meant that they had been raised and tended by a Plant-Earth.

[Devon]

"I figured it was the least I owed to you all since I've been so busy," Trevor answered as he watched Legato knock the bear over and pick it up only to repeat the process over. "But the good news is, I've wrapped up a good number of things I had to settle and I can afford to spend my time at home with the four of you."

[Kender Bard]

"That is excellent news," Musette enthused. "Isn't it children?" She didn't expect a response nor received one. Both of the girls were thoroughly absorbed in their new toys for the moment. "I really cannot wait until they can talk," she noted with a small sigh. "Then perhaps I can figure out what it is they want half of the time."

[Devon]

"Aye," Trevor replied with a smile as he watched Legato make his way over to his sisters, dragging his bear behind him. "I have a feeling when they can talk they may never go quiet again and then you'll miss these times."

[Kender Bard]

"Oh they're not quiet now," Musette responded tartly. "They cry and cry and cry right now. I just wish I knew why half the time."

Cantata didn't pay any attention to Legato, but Elegy crawled over and tried to take his bear.

[Devon]

Trevor leaned over and gave Musette a kiss on the cheek. "And I'm going to be around more to help you figure out what it is they want exactly."

Legato pouted at Elegy and had a tight grip on his bear, refusing to give it up.

[Kender Bard]

Elegy made an annoyed sound and drew in a deep breath before starting on a stuttering cry that marked the starts of a full blown wailing.

Musette winced at that and picked her up but Elegy continued to cry.

[Devon]

Trevor sighed and rubbed Elegy's back. Out of the triplets she seemed to be the one who craved the most attention. Legato went back to playing with his bear, moving closer to Cantata to play with her as well.

[Kender Bard]

Cantata pushed her bear over and lay her head down on it, yawning a bit.

As if reading his mind, Musette commented, "Elegy is the fussiest baby I've ever seen. Thank Efil that the other two aren't the same."

Elegy's cries died down to whimpers and whines.

[Devon]

Legato bored of Cantata since she was going to nap, crawled his way over to his parents and sat at their feet, idly tugging on Trevor's leg. Bending down, Trevor picked up Legato who promptly tapped his father on the nose and chuckled.

"Aye she is fussy, Cantata is quiet, and Legato is somewhere in between. I think he may be a little troublemaker."
