He woke to the sound of giggling from his side, and though part of him told him to open his eyes to see what they were giggling about, the other part was comfortable and did not want to move just yet. It had been a long mission to the ancient world to assist the Healers godling charge, and he wanted nothing more then to rest in the soft grasses of the garden, laid out in a warm patch of sun, with his charges safely nearby.
Nisroc gasped up at the sudden drenching of cool water from the lake, he sat up quickly, rubbing water from his eyes and his hair back, the giggling of his two mischievous fledglings ringing from his other side.
Gone was the desire to merely relax in the sun, as he was now cool and soaked, and instead he was filled with the desire for revenge. He was quick in snatching them up, fingers curling around a wrist each, he tugged them down with him in his now wet patch of grass.
Paul was still laughing at their successful, and soon laughed because of the hand that had snuck up his tunic and dug into his belly underneath, trying as much as he might to pull the handout. He jumped and shrieked when those skilled fingers found a particularly sensitive spot.
"Nis! Nis no! No!"
He chuckled, leaning over his youngling, the little fledgling held securely in his other arm, and pressed his temple to his younglings.
"Perhaps, you should have thought your devious little plan through just a bit better, now it is my turn for tricks." He squeezed his little hip softly, making the boy jump again and fingers curl around his wrist, "Now you stay put while I deal with your partner in crime."
Sasha yelped as he was tugged around and laid in grass next to his friend and brother, he had not been around for too long, he was still getting used to having a guardian as kind as the Power was and fear set in that perhaps he had gone too far this time. He tried to crawl away, as fingers curled around the spot just under his knee, pulled his little leg slightly, and fingers curled into his little thigh.
Fears completely forgotten, the fledgling kicked as best as he could, and cried out in laughter.
Above him, his new guardian chuckled at his reaction, pulling his leg open just a bit more, and he kicked at him with his free foot instead.
"We should have explored this a bit more, regretfully I found myself busier then expected, though I do wonder-?"
He curled his fingers around his little wrist instead, letting his leg go, and leaned forward as he lifted it above his head and poked a finger into the revealed spot underneath, wiggling it just a bit as if testing the waters. He was rewarded with more bright peals of laughter from his quiet little fledgling.
"You have no idea how adorable you are."
The fledgling tugged on his arm weakly.
"And I did not forget about you", Paul shrieked brightly when he grabbed at his side and gaze a good squeeze, "Now how about one of you tell me what we've learned today?"
