Lessons:
Numair sat down on his favorite chair and picked up a book. His father and Daine's father were both reading. His mother was embroidering a piece of cloth and Sarra was nowhere to be seen. Daine came running down the steps followed by Hunter. The pup tried to jump off of the second to last step and ended up falling on the last step. Daine giggled and jumped onto the chair with Numair. Hunter, who hadn't seen her do this, just kept running strait.
'I think he's broken Da.' Daine laughed.
'What are you doing to my poor dog?' Weiryn asked raising his eyebrow.
'Do you mind moving magelet?' Numair asked.
'Oh, Numair, I'm sorry.' She was still laughing as she settled down in his lap. Numair propped his feet up on the ottoman and let her snuggle while he read.
'Numair will you start a fire, please?'
'Yes magelet.' Numair flicked his index finger at the fireplace and instantly flames appeared. Daine cuddled closer to his chest inspit the warmth of the fire.
'Thank you.' She whispered. Nitasha looked up. It sounded as if she was already half asleep in her son's arms.
'Go get your book and slate.' Numair said, 'It's been weeks sense you've had a lesson.'
'So?' Daine complained.
'Veralidaine.' Weiryn warned.
'Fine.' She whispered. Numair kissed her hair.
Daine trudged up the stairs to get the book Numair had gotten for her about a month ago. He meant to have her take lessons but every time he tried Daine would think of something else for them to do. Hunter came bonding out of the kitchen door and up the stairs to follow Diane. Sarra came to the doorway following the pup. They all heard Daine squeak. About thirty seconds later she came back down holding a book and a small blackboard. She handed them to Numair and kept running, Hunter close on her heels. Daine got ahead of the pup and settled back into her spot on the chair with Numair before Hunter came back into the room. The pup didn't even look around before it ran up the stairs. Both Daine and Sarra broke into laughter.
'The poor thing.' Sarra managed to say. Her comment only made Daine laugh even harder.
Numair handed Daine her slate, which had a math problem on it.
'Do I have to do math?' Daine said. She settled herself against his chest and gently rested her forehead against his neck.
'Yes.' He said simply. Daine could feel his heart beat and at the same time she could feel him breathing and talking. She trembled a bit. Numair felt her do so and leaned back in the chair pulling her with him.
'You're not being very much fun.' She pouted.
'X+7=13.' He replied. 'What does x equal?'
'Um... Five!' She said.
'Good. Now what would it equal id I said x wasn't equal to five?'
'Um.. four?' she replied innocently.
'How about we do grammar instead?' Numair asked pulling out her grammar book.
'That's a sounds goods.' Daine said. Numair cave her the usual that's-not- funny look making her laugh.
'Read.' He said handing her a fairy tale book. Daine laughed even harder.
'I wants to go swimming.' She sighed against his neck. 'Likes we's useds toes when you taughtes me abouts the oceanes.'
'It's to cold.' H replied. 'And stop that.'
'You're a black robe mage make it warmer.'
'Do I look like a god to you?' he asked. 'No offense lord Weiryn.' He said. Daine's father just shook his head.
'Yes you do.' Daine said sweetly. Numair smiled at her and kissed her sweetly. Daine giggled.
'Please. I wants to learns to skate's.' Daine said sweetly.
"I'll dump you out in the snow.' He said coldly. Sarra laughed so hard she cried. Nitasha looked like she would like to kill herself.
'Please teach me how to skate.' Daine asked laughing.
'Fine, get your coat.' He sighed as Diane got up. He heard her let out a small 'eep'. She apparently fell over something. Sarra rolled her eyes,
'I don't think she's graceful enough to learn to skate.' Sarra told Numair.
'That's what I thought when I taught her to dance.' He replied.
'Okay.' Daine said bonding down stairs happily.
Numair got up with a sigh. He grabbed his cloak and began to follow the already skipping girl out of the house.
'Nice to see you're on a good mood.' He said closing the door.
Sarra laughed when she heard him.
'They're so sweet together.' She said sitting next to Weiryn.
'It's good to see someone is trying to get your daughter to act her age.' Nitasha replied.
'It's nice to see your son isn't bedding her.' Sarra replied. She felt bad inside about saying that. She liked Numair, and was glad he was Daine's true love.
Outside they heard Numair yell, Daine laugh, and then screech. She ran by the window laughing followed by Numair who threw a snow ball at her. Weiryn shook his head and went back to his book.
