Babysitting (open for bored peoples)

[Xaver]

Xaver fought a laugh, glancing at Ginny, a playful, soft look in his eyes, before turning back to Terry. He liked kids. Terry was no exception.
"She does, eh? Well, we all must work for the privilege to relax," he whispered back, knowing Ginny could hear, but playing along respectfully. "Have you ever considered that she's trying to teach you by this work? Or, that maybe she needs a little help in some places and has you help her out without admitting she does, in some cases?"

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny smiled, rolling her eyes. Terry really seemed to get alog with Xaver, and her previouse annoyence with Terry slid away.

Terry seemed to think about that.
"Maybe..." he admitted.

[Xaver]

Xaver nodded, giving a goofy grin.
"Yup, maybe."
He chuckled, rising.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny smirked, "Now, terry, come on." She said, motioning for him to follow.

Terry made a face, "More work?"

"Nope, I told you, work is done for the day. For you anyway." She mummbled the last part.

[Xaver]

Xaver smirked down at Terry.
"You're as lazy as I am," he commented, laughing.

Suddenly, he simply jumped, propelling upward into the high boughs of the closest tree. He made not a sound a he moved around, climbing up there, but allowed there to be a soft thud as he landed, just as he was, walking as if he had never missed a beat, next to them.
"Fruit?" he asked, though his voice was slightly muffled.
He had bit into one of the apples, and had to speak out of the corner of his mouth to hold it there. He had one in each hand, and offered them to both of them, shrugging.

He gave Ginny a soft, sidelong glance.
-By the way. Can I help you with any of that work?-

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny took her apple and smiled at him, but didn't eat it.
~Nah. I can do it. Just paperwork.~ She said to him.

Terry took his apple, biting into it as he started to follow Ginny.

[Xaver]

-Alright. But I might be forced to sweep you away from this work, later, and make you eat some really good candy. You wouldn't believe this little factory I found in London.-
Xaver munched absently on his apple, walking with them both.

[Ginny Weasly]

~Oh really?~ Giny said, absently. terry looked up at her.

"Cousin Ginny?" he asked, taking a large swallow of apple before being able to continue, "when can I go home?"

[Xaver]

-Yup. You shall be mine prisioner, my love, and sweets will be punishment yours.-
Xaver looked down at Terry, listening to him. He glanced at Ginny curiously.

[Ginny Weasly]

"When Aunt Tracy sends for you." She said, looking at him. He couldn't read the expression in her eyes, which was pity for the boy. She knew that his mother was just trying to find another place to send him, since she didn't want to be around him.

[Xaver]

Xaver's head snapped up, and he watched Ginny, frowning. He had caught the last of her thoughts.
-What is all that about?- he asked her.

"So, Terry, what have you learned so far in school?"

[Ginny Weasly]

~Aunt Tracy is kind of....flaky.~ Ginny said, very lowly in his mind.

Terry smiled and finished off his apple, leaving the core. He held it in his hand, holding his other hand above it. the core rose, floating between his hands. He made it spin, then smashed it, making it explode, doing all this mentaly.

[Xaver]

-Eh?-


Xaver grinned at Terry.
"Good," he commented, nodding.
He finished his own apple, and threw it up, not looking at it. It spun at immense speed, then simply stopped, the whole of it becoming illuminated, ten becoming molten, black liquid. The liquid glittered and spread out, then fell. Just as it started its descent, however, the black stuff transformed into a very much alive black bird. It gave a thrill and twirled, swooping around Xaver's shoulder's, before perching on Terry's shoulder, clicking its beak happily at the boy.
Xaver chuckled.

[Ginny Weasly]

Terry shivered with delight as he gapped at the bird. Ginny smiled down at him, picking her way over falled trees.

~She can't stand having Terry around. She didn't like me much when I was small either.~

[Xaver]

"My friend, Arkelot," Xaver introduced. "He has been long since alone back at my home realm. I grew up with him. He likes having friends, especially the younger."
~Perhaps because the younger they are, the more I can help,~ the bird chirped up. ~Kylie, for instance. I grieve for her.~

Xaver looked at the two, and gave a soft, lopsided smile.
"Yes, Ark particularily liked my little sister. But he has been looking for a friend he could pal around with lately."

-That's horrible.. -
He looked over at Giny, keeping pace with her.
