Impy was excited, hooting at people and waving his little "Hewo" making several people turn to smile as he leaned out of the pushchair, Ton calmly gripping his baby brother's clothes at the back to ensure he didn't slip from his harness that was clearly too loose.
"Did that monster loosen the straps again Toninator?" Jack sighed as he crouched to tie the beast back and Ifan growled at him compete with snarling teeth, then threw his head back and laughed happily.
"Quite mad" Ton said calmly, "Just like the rest of us."
"Yesh" Impy agreed, "Tadda, Tadda, TADDDDDY!"
"I'm here" Ianto said softly as he stepped into view, "Was looking at the board on the wall there, please don't be a horror or I will have to muzzle you like a little doggie."
Ifan' answer was a doggie growl and more laughter as he waved at more passing people and soon there was a little crowd enjoying the little boy's afternoon game of 'Impy Beast' complete with nonsense talking smattered with words they could decipher.
"Daddy bubba boo da pongy stufflit and mudderlingly wopperling….and…ah….pop!" he told them all with wide eyes, his face angelic, then he screamed with mirth and patted his we bum, "So POP POP!"
"Shit, is he telling them how he blew off in my face when I did his nappy?" Jack said with horror as people started to laugh at the translation, his grin of chagrin telling them it was a true story.
"And what did Daddy say love?" a man asked as he squatted to peer in with delight, finding Ton grinning back.
"Dad said he would light a match but we might blow the boat up" Ton answered, Impy screaming with mirth as he pointed at his brother.
"Yeash!"
"Lovely, how old are they?" a woman asked with delight.
"I'm gonna be eleven soon" Ton told her, "Like…almost a teenager now. Taddy lets me have my own wallet and money but only lets me spend half on sweets."
Everyone awed, so he continued, "Impy here just turned one whole year. He had a party and a cool cake. He shared with his cousin, they are twins but to different people. We are all different I guess."
"But wonderfully so" someone called softly and Imp squealed as he waved.
"The little beast is Ifan, Imp is his more common moniker and our other son Carlton is simply the Ton." Ianto said proudly, "This is their first ever cruise."
"Well this is my fifteenth young man so if you need any help let me know" an elderly man patted Ton's arm, "I love cruises."
"Well I think I do too Grandpa man" Ton answered and Ianto smiled as more Awwwwwwwwwwes rolled around.
Ton continued to gather his disciples.
Seems Impy was good bait.
