Ike should be up soon. Ob catches Monty watching the clock and smiles. The Marmurr has been good to his little sister. Actually, they have been good for each other. He doubts Monty would have taken his "grown" seeming if Ike hadn't shown affection for him in his natural visage. She never did treat him like the little boy every one else saw.
Chloe coos, and toddles her way to the edge of Pandora's couch. She peeks around the corner and giggles as Ike pounces her.
"An' I'!"
Ike picks her up and swings her in the air, making her giggle. There is a look of surprise when Chloe doesn't fall back into her hands as fast as she should. Ob grins, watching his little one spread her wings to catch the air and slow her descent. As Ike's hands capture her waist the toddler giggles.
"I flyed!"
Ob laughs and mimics her favorite CD. "No Petrie, you falled."
Chloe giggles and whispers loudly to Ike. "Papa' Ducky."
She sends an image of a dinosaur into Ike's thoughts, giving it Ob's face. She plasters her own on a pterodactyl. Ike laughs, still not sure what it means.
"Do you remember the four college boys that hang out here? I know you remember Ron,"
Ike nods, the image of the foursome springing to mind. "Well the guys left a present for Chloe and the Twins. Chloe got a Land Before Time video set. She is hooked on them. The gifts for the twins are under the bar. From what I understand, they are all video sets."
Monty joins them. collecting a kiss from his sweetheart. "Night falls earlier. I am expecting a busier dinner crowd. Something feels off outside."
The Gargoyles nod, their sleep has been disturbed with the feeling of unease in the atmosphere. Chloe reaches for her father and snuggles into his chest. Ob reaches out, stroking his thoughts along Pandora. She looks up from the menus she was looking over and smiles, reaching out for her husband. No matter what they truly are, nor whatever else is happening around or to them, the business of running a Tavern takes precedence.
