Chapter Ten
Thanks to the generosity of Nathan and the others from SeedS the small group was able to afford a room in first class as well as the several meals that they would need during their five day trip. The first night of their journey Meryl and Millie learned just how much of a blessing their private room really was when the kids spent all of their energy (something that they were never short on) chasing each other around the cabin until, exhausted, Meryl and Millie confined them to their beds, wrapped tightly beneath the covers.
Once they were finally asleep the two friends sat up at the small table, each with a steaming cup of coffee in their hands as they talked.
"You know Millie, something's been bothering me a bit lately."
"What's that, Meryl?"
"Well," Meryl said. "The kids all came really early so I thought that they would mature a lot faster when they were born, like Vash and Knives did when they were kids. But it's been two years since they were born and they seem to be aging like normal human children, if not a little more intelligent for their ages."
"I see what you mean," Millie said with a contemplative frown. "Maybe it's because they aren't fully plants. They are half human right?"
"That is true," Meryl said as she set her mug on the table. "But that still doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about their birth."
"Well to be honest Meryl I think it's just one of those things that people are supposed to accept." Millie said with a grin. "Like my middle-big sister always says: Over thinking just leads to a cluttered mind."
Meryl laughed softly so as not to wake the children as she nodded. "I guess you're right. Come on, let's get to bed. We need our sleep if we're going to keep up with the terrors tomorrow. Especially McKay."
"Hm," Millie said.
"What is it?"
"Well, I was just thinking. If Mr. Vash is a typhoon then maybe his son is a tornado."
Meryl laughed again before she moved over to her bunk and waited for Millie to get situated before she switched off the light.
"Good night Millie."
"Good night."
