Life does Change.

[Kida Frost]

Kida held Scarlet's hand as she toddeled along beside her, she was only a few months of being a year old now, she had a very clumzy walk happening but she could manage for a bit, Kida leaned forward and scooped Scarlet up and held her on her hips, she called over her shoulder to her Half Brother, Perseus who was looking at the shops, yet again. 'Perseus, keep up or you'll get lost' she sighed, he was 8 now but was still a bit slow.
Kida walked into the park and Perseus was suddenly interested in keeping ahead, Perseus liked the park, he liked to rip up grass and try swing over the top of the swings. 'Don't go far Perseus, I'm going to check on Scarlet then i want you to play with her okay' Kida kept an eye on Percy as he ran off and she made her way over to a side bench and sat down holding Scarlet in her lap, Kida pulled some sunscream out of her bag and applied a light layer onto Scarlets explosed body, she didn't want her to get burnt, Percy could handle it but Scarlet was still only little. She smiled as Scarlet wiggeled as she tried to rub it into her arms 'hold still cheeky girl' she said with a smile as she finished rubbing in the last bit of sunscream on her legs before calling Perseus over.

'Make sure she doesn't eat anything or fall over and hurt herself' she warned and she heard Perseus groan since she said the same thing every time 'I'm Serious Percy, look out for her, i need a rest' she said and let Scarlet stand on the ground in her little sand shoes, she took Perseus' hand and waved to Kida before she walked off with him with her awkward walk, her legs still not strong enough to co-ordinate themselves. Kida leaned back in her seat, her summer dress sitting just above her knee's, Kida stretched her long legs out infront of her and enjoyed not having a child jumping all over her or sitting on a broom for once.
Kida held one of her piggy tails and played with it in her fingers, she heard a child scream and she sat up and looked for Scarlet but saw she was just throwing a fit cause Perseus tried to leave her behind, she shook her head but smiled slightly, Keeping him in line, What a good girl.

Kida sighed a she sat back and tried to take her mind of everything, Work, Quidditch and Children! Looking after her own child and her half brother was chaotic and with Watson having to go do some ministry work she didn't have anyone to look after them so she could relax, she desperately needed a nice long warm bubble bath, but she knew that wasn't going to happen.
Kida sighed blissfully and tried to unwind.

It was such a warm and sunny day that it was shame to stay at home. Since his twin brother had contracted the vanishing sickness, his parents had to get him to St Mungo's, leaving Perseus under the supervision of his older cousin Icarus. Icarus might have wanted to relax at his house but Perseus persistance was enough to move him out of his couch. Now both of them were walking down the street of Brightstone Village, wearing sunglasses to protect their eyes from the harmful rays of the sun and similar bermuda shorts and t-shirts. Their company was joined by Marshmallow, Icarus' timid pug dog that was walking beside the two humans ecstatic about its surroundings.

"What would you say about some ice-cream, Keeper?" Perseus tried to wheedle his cousin, knowing that he was already there without his own will. Perseus was really good to get what he wanted in his own special way that was hard for others to say no. Icarus smirked and casted a sideway look at the young boy just to see him using a irresistable puppy face. "You are the best! Pistachio and chocolate flavours please!" he made his order as his cousin joined the long queue at the ice-cream cart. Perseus took Marshmallow from its leash and guided him across the road into Takarokaro Park.

The little pug was looking rather grumpy and looked irritated at Perseus with its wrinkled muzzle.
"What's wrong? Do you want me to take you off the leash?" he asked the dog that replied with a bark of excitement, letting its tongue hang out off its mouth. "Here you go." the boy unclipped the leash from the dog's collar. "Let's play a game!" he suggested and took a sponge ball, taunting with it the little pug who started complaining in the form of continuous barking. Perseus finally decided to throw away the ball since he had tested enough the dog's patience.
"C'mon buddy, go get it! C'mon!" he dared Marshmallow by tapping his hands on his legs repeatedly. The dog however, looked like it had lost its interest and responded with a wide yawn of indifference, a revenge against the boy who pretended tossing the ball so many times. "You know the objective of the game is for you to go and fetch the ball, not me." he said and the dog took a smily face with his tongue hanging. Now it was its turn to mock.
"Fine. Stay here, I'll be right back." he commended the dog that was enjoying the turn of events before he was going to search for the ball.

Apparently, Marshmallow refused to go and get it because Perseus had threw it far away behind some bushes. The boy vanished behind them to find the small ball lying on the roots of a tree. He scooped and emerged again out of the bushes to find that Marshmallow was no longer there. "Marshmallow! Hey buddy, where are you?" he started shouting and whistling, panicking a little bit. He calls were not responded and the dog was nowhere to be found.
"Icarus is going to hex me!" he murmured depserately as he was looking around him. He continued searching, hoping that his cousin was going to wait at that queue for a little bit longer.

 

[Kida Frost]

Kida was enjoying the suns warm rays on her skin, she occasionally heard Scarlet squeal in happiness then in frustration, she guessed Perseus was getting sick of taking care of his little neice, Kida heard something get thrown near her but she ignored it for the time being, the sun was just so pleasent, she spent most of her time in the house or at Quidditch when she was moving to fast that the suns warm rays seemed to miss her skin.

Kida sighed and went to look at her watch when she heard a child calling a dog maybe, she was certain she heard the name Icarus but she looked up and did a scan of the area and couldn't see him. Kida shook her head and saw a Kid looking for something, he had a toy in his hand so she guessed he was looking for a Dog. Kida checked on Perseus who seemed to have sensed that she was watching him and gave her a thumbs up and she repeated the action back to him, he was making her know everything was okay, she could see Scarlet's soft brown hair so she knew that she was okay.

Gracefully lifting herself off the seat Kida looked around, she couldn't see a dog anywhere either. Kida picked up her bag and swung it over her shoulder and made her way over to the boy who was standing looking very concerned. Kida stood beside him 'You look a little bit distressed there' she said not knowing if he would recognise her from Quidditch or think she was a scary Lady, Kida knelt beside him so she was hovering just above the grass 'Are you okay? Have you lost your Dog?' she asked in a soft voice not trying to scare him, She watched him closely as she waited for a response 'I can help you find him if you like?' she asked carefully, her Hazel eyes bright with curiosity and intellegence.

The Brunette smiled kindly at the boy and put her hands on her Knee's to assist in her balance 'What's his name?' Kida said trying to see if he was going to allow her to help him or not. Kida knew she could whistle loudly but she didn't know the dog so it was going to be hard to call him if he didn't respond to her calls, knowing his name would help quite a bit. Kida had a dog once when she was younger, her was very talented and she could call him and he would always come running but one day he just kept on walking into to many things and she knew his days were numbered.

The Young witch looked over her shoulder to check on Scarlet and Perseus 'Whats your name?' she asked curiously to the young boy. Eager to help him find his Dog.​

[Perseas Stratis]

Perseus was standing in the middle of the park not knowing what to do. It was that kind of situations that he was caught up and he wanted to be able to turn back time. While looking around, his mind was coming up with the most rediculous excuses to serve to his cousin in case Marshmallow was never to be found. His mind was actually to busy with that, he barely realised that someone was standing beside him. "Oh hi." he responded to the young woman that had approached him. It took him a few moments until he recognised her. "Holy thunderbolt! Aren't you palying for Holyhead Harpies?" he asked while bouncing in excitement. He might was too young to play proper Quidditch but he knew all about Quidditch teams and matches. He was thrilled to meet in person a professional Quidditch player even if she wasn't a member of his favourite team.

His excitement vanished when she asked him if he had lost his dog. "Yes miss. It's not my dog but my cousin's and that makes it worse." he said and gulped just imaging how angry Icarus was going to be when he was going to figure out what have happened. His innocent, grey eyes widened in excitement. "You will? Wow thank you!" he beamed when the girl offered her assistance. Meeting a professional Quidditch player was amazing, receiving some help was just overwhelpming for the little boy. "His name is Marshmallow. He's a pug. You know that grumpy breed with the wrinked snout and the bulgy eyes?" he offered a quick description of the lost dog, thrilled that he wasn't going to search all alone. "My name is Perseus and I'm going to become a Quidditch player as well when I grow up." he inflated his chest proudly. He would love to receive all that glory that the professional players were getting. His cousin was a professional player as well but he was doing his first steps in that career. Certainly this woman was more recognisable to little Perseus. "Do you have a dog? I prefer crups. Much more obedient if you ask me." he started talking, waiting for the kind woman to lead their searching expedition.

 

[Kida Frost]

Kida smiled at the boy when he recognized her as a team member for the Harpies 'I'm Kida Frost, the head Beater for the Harpies, yes' she let out a small laugh before shaking her head, she wasn't recognized often, most people didn’t think of her has a fierce Quidditch player and think they might be mistaking her for someone else and move on. Kida smiled at the boy 'your cousins dog, now what were you doing to lose him?' she asked curiously as she looked around for a straying dog.
Kida brushed her long brown hair out of her face and smiled at the boy, he seemed very overwhelmed, the boy told her the dog's name and description and she smiled kindly 'That is a wonderful name for a Pug' she said as she stood up, the boy introduced himself as Perseus and she smiled widely 'I have a brother named Perseus, he's playing in the park at the moment, maybe if we can't find Marshmallow, we can ask him to help' Kida said with a smile, 'but you know what, I think we don't need his help' she stood up and brushed the lose grass of her knee's and held out her hand wondering if the boy would take it, she didn’t want to lose him AND the dog after all.

Kida pointed to the tree's and she would guess the dog might need to go to the toilet, the boy asked her if she had a dog and she shook her head, she had a dog once but her mother gave it away when her parents split up and she hadn't had one since. 'Not anymore, I have an Owl and a Cat though, my cats a bit to old to have a Dog in her life, she has been with me ever since I started School at Hogwarts' she said with a smile, her cat was her Hogwarts pet, she got her Owl half way through her first year and Notte used to come flying with her all the time as soon as she hit her second year.

Kida called Marshmallow wondering if he would come to her voice or just Perseus' Kida's voice was loud and carried quite a long way which was lucky because she could call out to her Team mates in Quidditch. 'Don't tell me you're here by yourself Perseus?' she said only just realising that he didn't have anyone watching him, Kida quickly turned around to see her Brother and Daughter checking to see if they were okay, Scarlet was staring at a Flower on the ground and Perseus had a look on his face as if he wanted to rip it out of the ground and throw it away. Kida shook her head and turned back to Perseus who had lost his dog. Kida looked around the tree's using her advantage of height to look for the missing Pug.
Kida put one hand to her lips and forms a seal letting out a loud whistle wondering if that would help. 'Let me ask you a Question Perseus, If you were Marshmallow, where would you be right now' she said curiously, the boy new the dog better than her, she could only cover the basic's, he was either, on the toilet, sniffing another dogs butt or playing with the children.​

 

[Perseas Stratis]

"I know who you are!" Perseus rushed to say. He simply had the all the posters of all famous Quidditch teams in his bedroom that was sharing with his twin brother. "Pleasure to meet you!" he added with a bow. The boy started searching his pockets and he frowned when he didn't find what he was looking for. "I would love to have an autograph miss but it seems I forgot my autograph block." he said with a shrug. He was collecting autographs of famous Quidditch players but he wasn't expecting to find one in Takarokaro Park.

"I did nothing wrong." he started excusing himself. "I just released him to play and he just thanked me by running away." he avoided to tell her that he had teased first the poor dog. He was already blaming himself, he didn't need to be blamed by her as well. He didn't comment about the dog's name. Personally, he didn't really like it because it was like calling out loud for sweets rather than for a dog. If it was his dog he was going to call it Nappy. Simple and representative.

"You do? What a coincedence!" he stated about the fact that her brother was named as well Perseus and had a look towards the playground. There were so many children in the playground that he couldn't figure out who was her brother. "Yeah, it would be quite awkward for a group of people shouting 'Marshmallow' out loud." he agreed, hoping that she would be able to help him and find the dog before his cousin's return. "My older brother has a cat and an owl but they are with him at Hogwarts. We also have a falcon, an eagle and a pelican. My dad uses them for bigger mails such as parcels." he explained in an excited tone as he was assisted by a professional Quidditch player. He would give everything to have his twin brother watching while he was going to brag for his new acquaintance. Maybe he could have a photo with Forst or something but as far as he could remember, Icarus hadn't brought a camera with them. "No, I'm not alone. I'm with my cousin. I left him by the ice-cream cart's queue. After all, I can take care of myself." he said confidently about himself with a wide grin.

He started calling again the stray dog but there was no response, not a single bark. Then the Quidditch player asked a pretty interesting question. Perseus liked her way of thinking. "Hmm, good question!" he praised and rubbed his chin as he was trying to think like a dog. "I got it!" he exclaiped and snapped his fingers. "I would have gone back to my master!" he continued with a spark in his grey eyes. "Follow me!" he said and took her hand to guide her at the ice-cream cart, where his cousin was waiting at the queue.

 

[Icarus Stratis]

Icarus had regretted his decision of backing down and letting Perseus have his own way. He would much rather prefer stay at home and rest a bit. His flying lessons might be over for a few months but he still had practices with Moutohora Macaws as their new Keeper and at the same time, he was offering as much help as he could to his uncle with the ranch. He loved the sun but currently the heat was getting the best of him and he was losing his patience. He was casting looks back at the park, worried about his younger cousin. He knew that he wasn't the most prudent child and he used to get himself into trouble but at least he wasn't with his twin brother, his partner in crime.

Finally, he managed to get that ice-cream that little Perseus had ordered and crossed the road to enter the park. There, he only found Marshmallow, alone, waiting for him. Perseus was nowhere to be found. "Where did he go? Why are you left here alone?" he asked his dog, knelt as he was scratching its head. Marshmallow tried to lick the dripping ice-cream but Icarus stood up nervous that his cousin was into trouble. His grey eyes scanned the crowded park. The playground looked alright. No forests, swamps or mini-volcanoes appearing out of nowhere or wild animals running around. It was one of the rare times that he would like to see such kind of indicators around him. The fact that everything around him was at peace meant that either Perseus was hurt or was nowhere around.

 

[Kida Frost]

Kida smiled when the boy exclaimed that he knew who she was, she nodded back to him when he bowed to her 'The pleasures all mine' she replied. The boy seemed to search for something but was dissapointed, she shook her head with a smile 'I can always sign your shirt or something and if i see you at the park again i can sign your block for you?' she asked curiously, she wasn't sure how big of a fan this boy was, some fans knew everyone and others only selected teams, she may not have been a big favourite to him, but she'd never know unless she asked him, but it wasn't important right now.
Kida was curious at the boys statement that he did nothing wrong, either the dog was disobedient or he was fibbing a little, Kida tisked softly 'What a silly dog' she said not going to ask the boy what happened.

Perseus seemed to be happy when she mentioned her brother 'I call him Percy though' she said, Perseus stopped rolling off the tounge after a while 'Do you have a nick name?' she asked.
The young boy seemed to talk along about his family and pets, Kida looked around for the dog 'I usually just post parcels the muggle way, i feel bad for making bigger birds carry it, even though my Owl is very big and can handle rather large packages' she said not even wanting to wonder what its like having a Pet Pelican living at your house.

The boy seemed to have a brain storm about where the dog would be and he took her hand to take her to the dogs master, which she guessed was his cousin. Kida followed at a quick pace but the boy seemed a bit eager and had to change it to a light jog, Kida used the same technique to find Scarlets toys, but she would say 'If i was a evil 8 month old, where would i throw things' Which usually ended up with in the air and they would be hanging off the ceiling fan.
Scarlet had a powerful throwing arm which was good and bad, Bad untill she was older, she always found her toys or food in the weirdest place.

Kida followed the young boy and quickly glanced over her shoulder, Scarlet was climbing on Perseus so everything was okay there. She turned back and stopped, she saw the dog first and smiled, a bulging eyed pug looked at her. 'I'm guessing this is Marshmallow' Kida said as she knelt down to give the dog a friendly pat hoping he didn't try to bite her, after all he didn't look like the vicious type. Kida suddenly realised someone else was standing with them, she guessed it was Perseus' Cousin, but she never caught his name. Kida realised how weird this would seemed and stood up to face the man, she flicked her brown hair out of her face and quickly bit her tongue.

Kida nervously bit her lip lightly but quickly looked at Perseus 'Perseus, is this your Cousin?' she asked just making sure she he was either a stranger or a friend to Perseus and his real cousn might be around somewhere. Kida grabbed onto one of her loosley tied piggy tails and half hugged her shoulders feeling slightly vunrable, Kida tried to shake the feeling but last time she saw Icarus she was with another man. Kida waited for Perseus.

 

[Icarus Stratis]

The ice-cream cone cracked a little bit in his hand when he noticed his little cousin walking towards him with a familiar ,yet unpleasant face. Long gone memories filled his head and his eyes narrowed on the young woman that was escorting Perseus.

"Please, give me a good excuse why you were gone and left Marshmallow alone." he asked his cousin, trying to keep his irritation out of his voice. He avoided to look again towards Kida and he didn't let his cousin really explain. Instead, he gave him the ice-cream that had started melting and took back the leash to clip it back on the pug's collar. "Go play and stay out of troubles." he ordered with a serious tone.
Perseus, who looked starstrucked next to Kida, looked reluctant to abandon his new, famous company. He took a moment to weighed his older cousin's limits and decided to follow his order after thanking Kida and saying goodbye.

Icarus waited until Perseus entered the playground. Far enough to be able to hear them. During that, he managed to recognise Kida's daughter playing as well somewhere around there with another boy, around his cousin's age.
"A summer walk with your new boyfriend and your kids. How cute is that?" he sarcasted still not making eye contact with her. "Where is he gone? Sent him to bring refreshments?" he continued, referring to the older guy he had fought with last time he had met with Kida in that bar in Brightstone Village.

 

[Vipress Riverwood]

Goddamit, it said i was logged in as Kida, it lied

 

[Kida Frost]

Kida paused when Icarus didn't seem to give Perseus a chance to answer her questions or his own, Kida smiled kindly to the young boy when he seemed stuck with if he should leave her or go off and do what his Cousin said, Kida gave a small sharp nod to signal that it was okay and he left them alone to go with the other children.

Kida's attention was now souly on Icarus, she was taken aback slightly by his comment about her going on a summer walk with her new boyfriend, Kida pursed her lips, she felt an anger in her gut which she hadn't felt in a while, something which she didn't know she could feel, she was usually rather calm. 'I haven't seen him since that night wher you showed up drunk' she said, it was kind of a damper on anything possibly happening. 'And Thats my Half-Brother, who is also called Perseus' she snapped as she took a step Closer to Icarus, her body language was very defensive, Kida put her hand on Icarus' jaw and turned his face to look at her 'look at me' she said, he was ignoring facing her but she was going to make him stare it in the face. Kida kept her voice to hushed tones however and jabbed her finger in his chest 'Maybe if you sent me an Owl instead of showing up drunk all defensive and then once again dissapearing off the earth you would know this' Kida added her bright Hazel eyes glaring at him darkly, Kida was practically on his toes now. 'And! If you wanted to be with me you would have stuck around instead of leaving me and never even bothering to contact me, so what does it matter to you if i was here with a Boyfriend, which im not.' Kida snarled very quietly, she had one hand curled into a fist, she had alot of Built up Anger towards Icarus, he left her when he found out she had a daughter, and never contacted her, then saw her the first time she tried to go out with someone else and ended up having a fight with the man when she told him to Owl her, he never did, she hadn't dared to try another date since that night, her emotions were mixed up about him, she wasn't sure if she Loved him or Hated him but something was stirring the pot inside of her.

Kida waited for Icarus to explain himself but didn't give him time just as Icarus had done to Perseus 'So do you want to know the facts about what's Happening in my life or are you going to pull a dissapearing act again and be one of the many mistakes i made before i got my feet planted.' Kida said, referring to one of the many guys she had relationships with before she met Ash and then Icarus who used her as a toy and didn't respect her. Kida clenched her teeth tightly, she had knocked him out once, she could manage it again if she needed.

 

[Icarus Stratis]

"I wasn't drunk!" he snapped out of his silence to defend himself. His dog next to him whined, sensing his master's agitation. Icarus looked at the boy that was playing with Kida's daughter. He didn't comment about the fact that she had a half-brother and she hadn't told him as well. He searched for his cousin lost in the bunch of children playing in the playground. Perseus seemed to be enjoying poking with a stick, the shell of a poor tortoise.
Kida got his attention by making him to face her. He looked at her with mixed feelings and his jaw clenched.
"Disappearing?" he shouted louder than he was planning for. He paused for a moment to cast a look at the playground. Thankfully, the laughs and yells of the children were masking their own tensed conversation.
"Really? I thought you ordered me to leave you alone." his eyebrows raised as he was reminding her.

As she was growing closer to him, he snorted with a laughter and he shook his head in indignation.
"You are kidding me right? It wasn't me who revealed that had a child. What were you expecting me to do? Play nice and act like an all-good father? Is that what you want? I was surprised, I needed some time to realize it." he responded by stepping closer, overshadowing her as he was looking into her hazel eyes. Silence lingered in the air for a few moments after his outburst. Nothing could be heard but the quiet panting of HIS breathing which was soon smothered by the warm summer breeze. "I tried to talk with you that night, have a civilized conversation but you were having such a great time. Why bother?" he reduced the tone of his voice and walked over the bench to sit down. He patted Marshmallow on his head, who looked worried about his master.
"I'm right here! Talk to me if you want." he said with his hands pointing at him. He had enough of her saying that he was going to disappear.

 

[Kida Frost]

Kida almost blurted out laughing when Icarus said he wasn't drunk, she knew he was, she could smell it and the way he was acting it was completely obvious. Kida checked over her shoulder quickly and Scarlet had seemed to have found a little tortoise interesting and a boy was poking it with a stick, she shook her head, she was sidetracked to go save the poor turtle, but she was sure Scarlet would start screaming soon and trying to defend it.
Kida notcied the muscles in the side of his cheeks tightening and she knew he was clenching his teeth. Icarus seemed to have a different opinion on what happened on that night, truthfully she did order him to leave her alone, she was trying to forget about him and she was busy, he was also drunk.
'Why do you think i said that hmm, I was trying to forget about you, forget that you walked out when you saw Scarlet. That you Never even bothered to send me one owl.' she hissed, she took another step closer and poke him in the chest 'You stumbled in drunk and tried to take me away from the guy i was hanging out with to have a drunken talk to me, incase you can't remember clearly because you were so drunk, You had a fight with him when i told you to leave me alone and to talk to me again when you were sober' Kida was a good height but Icarus was just taller then her but she still could get her point across 'The guy who i was with didn't care that i had a Daughter, he didn't mind' she said her voice cold and sharp, she wasn't going to even bother hinting kind tones now 'You wouldn't even bother contacting me before then, If you didn't stumble into me at that Bar you would have had tried to talk to me would you?' she asked, she knew it was the truth, she had not received one owl from him, like what they had was nothing at all. Icarus yelled at her saying that he's right here so to talk to him now.

Kida snapped and shoved him backwards, she was rather strong, thankfully for all her Martial art lessons and carrying a heavy daughter around all the time 'Talk to you now!' she said as she advanced towards him again 'I'd love to talk to you now, but are you going to listen to anything that i have to say!' she said, thankful the children were very loud that no one could hear her. Kida threw her arm in the direction of the children 'I don't have time to talk to you now, Scarlet's going to need feeding soon and Perseus is going to get hungry, Maybe if you sent me an Owl like i asked you to we could have had a talk and sorted this... sh!t out!' she added her Hazel eyes staring at his own, Kida bit her lip slightly 'But fine, if you want me to drop everything and talk to you now, Fine!' she said as she walked forward some more 'I like you Okay, I like you a lot, You hurt me from running out on me and Never bothering to make contact, I wanted to talk to you but not when you're plastered and not even realizing half of what you're saying.' she said as she put her hands to her head running both of them through her hair 'And No i don't want you to play nice and act like an all good father to my Daughter, You're not her Father, her father abused drugs, drunk alcohol and slept with various woman while engaged to me, And to be honest, you're probably one thing short of being like him, because he left me as well.' she said, she was full of emotion like the pressure in her couldn't escape, she half wanted to punch Icarus right in the face, the other half wanted to Kiss him for some strange reason.

The Young Witch walked forward and shoved him backwards again before turning around and pacing backwards trying to calm herself down, Kida turned around and faced him. 'You've had Months to realize what you want to do now, so tell me!' she said brushing some of the stray hair out of her face, Kida's Hazel eyes were now a rich gold of a wolf's eyes with shocking stripes of green through it. Kida took a deep breath and shut her eyes, she fell to sit on the ground, 'Damn it Icarus, Just tell me' she said as she opened her eyes again, Her heart was pounding fast, she was using half of her energy to control her mind and stop from falling into Animagus form, one other thing she hadn't told Icarus, or many people for that matter. 'You want to know everything i haven't told you, Fine.' she said as she opened her eyes and looked at him 'I have a Daughter named Scarlet, I have Two half brothers, they both live with me in my house, Ashton is my Older half brother, he's 23 and Perseus is my Younger Half Brother He's 7, Our Mum left him with me when she found out his father was a Wizard and she was half blood, she Hates all magical people. I got Pregnant when i was 18 to an ******* who promised he would be with me for ever but then ended up going to gigs, getting drunk and high and cheating on me and never coming home.' Kida paused and took a deep breath trying to control her emotions 'I am a Wolf Animagus, I work for the Holyhead Harpies and the Quidditch league Headquarters, I had a God Father who meant the world to me who worked at the School as a Transfiguration professor and helped me with my training but married a horrible woman who was the school nurse and she tried to get him to neglect me, he died of a heart attack before my Training could be finished and i have had to find time to finish my Animagus training with Scarlet, while training and working' Kida paused and took another deep breath 'I met my God Father's Brother and my God Father's Father as well, Watson who is my God Uncle took care of Scarlet for me until he had to go back to the Ministry and my God Grandfather helped me finish my Animagus training. All this time i have been trying to find time to be happy again, to have a relationship' Kida didn't know what else she could tell him.
She looked away from him and stood up 'Now you have the perfect reason not to be with me, I have to much in my life, and if you couldn't handle me having a daughter, how could you handle me being what i am' Kida looked at Icarus, completely lost, but she turned around and took a deep breath, collecting herself before she made it back to Scarlet.

 

[Icarus Stratis]

Kida was keep pushing his patience's button. Icarus wasn't really known for his solid forbearance especially when he believed that he was right, which he did at that moment. "I tried to take you away as you say to talk to you and apologize. Find a way to work it out but you didn't give me a chance. That's why I lost control and caught up in a fight with that guy." he defended himself among the successive accusations that she was launching against him. He squeezed the leash in his palm to burst the tension of his nerves on something. He just shook his head when she mentioned that the other guy hadn't any problem with her daughter but he didn't comment, avoiding to make the athmosphere between them more electrified than it already was.

"Don't you remember how we met? It wasn't the best way for a couple to start a normal relationship." he pointed out as he had enough of the title of the drunk she had attached on him. "You weren't really sober as well the day that we first met and you slept with me just a few hours after our acquaintance. Then you just revealed to me that you had a daughter, that you were engaged and so on. What should I have expected from a woman like that?" he asked, not really sure if he was fixing what was broken or he was shattering it even more. "Later, I saw you with another man, flirting like you did with me. I mean, how could I take you seriously?" he continued. A part of him wanted to trust her but another was really reluctant and skeptical.

Once more there was a long and deafening silence. Icarus turned to see if Perseus was alright. He was now trying to feed the tortoise with his ice-cream. The poor reptilian had withdrawn its head as the ice-cream was dripping and staining its shell. Headstrong as he was, he wasn't planning to stop there but Kida erupted and cascaded him with a series of facts about her life. He tried to interfere a couple of times at the beginning of her outburst but as she continued, his stiff expression softened a little bit. It was true that she had some bad times in her life. Maybe he was wrong and he was too fast to judge her. He was left speechless for a couple of moments. He was willing to shallow a little bit of his pride and give them a chance. His eyes were testifying that.

"I think we made a really abrupt start. What would you say to try this out again. Give it more time." he stood up in an attempt to follow her. He didn't want to seem like they were arguing so he didn't rushed to stop her from walking away. Her brother and daughter were there and his cousin was smart enough to understand what was going on between him and her if he was going to pay attention.

 

[Kida Frost]

Kida snarled when Icarus tried to defend himself again, that when he drunkenly tried to take her away it was to talk to him, she scoffed, he had plenty of chances until they bumped into each other to do talk things out but he didn't try. The Brunette kept on focusing on Scarlet who was watching Icarus' cousin attack the turtle, she looked more interested in the Ice-cream than she did the turtle now, Kida hadn't given Scarlet any ice cream yet, Kida tried to keep an amused expression off her face and turned back to Icarus.
Icarus started to explain how they met and how she wasn't that Sober. Kida curled her hands into fists, 'Are you saying I'm a Drunken slut or something' she hissed at him. Kida ran her tounge along the edge of her teeth and scoffed again 'The Second time you came over I knocked you out with a Bludger and while I was waiting for you to come around I couldn't neglect her, So I thought you might be a bit understanding with her, and I was engaged' she said correcting Icarus 'It was Probably another stupid phase of my life' Icarus continued with his story and she could feel her heart break, from his point of view she was just some horrible tease, but from her point of view he was just an arrogant guy.

Kida heard Icarus say something about wanting to try this out again and to give it more time, she stopped and sighed 'After Mum pulled me out of Hogwarts and I had to go to a Muggle School, I was horribly unhappy, I started Dating quite a few guys, hoping that one of them would make me happy, Three of those guys used me and two liked to.. take their anger out on me for want of a better word' she said not turning to look at Icarus, Kida wanted to forget about her past and be the strong person she once was, If she wanted things to work with Icarus he would eventually have to know everything. 'That night, was the first night I went out after the whole Ash issue when I met you, deep down I wanted someone to feel how I did, completely used, But I couldn't do it' Kida said delicately hoping she didn't push the situation over the edge again 'When I met you I knew I wasn't that person and I didn't want to be that person, and in the end it ended up that way anyway' Kida took a deep breath and turned around, her face had returned to its normal lightly tanned shade and her eyes were back to Hazel 'Okay' she said to his last statement 'Let's try again, I don't want to hurt you anymore'

Kida turned to Scarlet who looking at the hole in the turtle shell as if she could put some shape in there to fill the hole like one of her toys. Kida looked back to Icarus 'You're Okay with Scarlet?' she asked curiously, she stood awkwardly waiting for Icarus to answer.

 

[Icarus Stratis]

Kida fiercefully turned to face him when she thought he implied that she was a cheap slut. "Easy there!" his grey eyes moved from her to the children in the playground and then back to her. Luckily, they didn't hear her as Perseus was trying to ride the tortoise and the other children looked too absorbed with their own occupations.
"It looked like it but I don't say that you are something like that." he kept a low tone in an attempt to calm her down as well. He was getting to understand Kida's actions more and more as she was opening her heart to him.
"If you have talked to me about all these, I might was more open to the idea that you have a child." he stated although he knew that such kind of things weren't told easily to a person you had just met.
"I can try and make you happy." he told her and got closer to reach her hand. He didn't want to become to expressive while he was around that park full of children.

He contented to a smile when she agreed to give to what they had a chance.
"I don't want to hurt you again either." he nodded. He had some strange feelings about her. They were quite unfamiliar and he didn't know what to make out of them. He decided that he could figure them out only if he was going to spend some time with her. They walked closer to the playground to be able to supervise the children. Still their laughs, yells and buzz were muffling their own conversation. Icarus smiled slightly when Kida asked him curiously if he was okay with her daughter.

"I never had a problem with your daughter." he said and looked at the little girl that was finding interesting the fact that his cousin was trying to ride the tortoise. "It was just the way you introduced me to her. Like you wanted me to pass out again." he joked with a chuckle. "To be honest, I like kids. As far as they are not mine." he joked once more but then his expression became stricter as he noticed what his cousin was trying to do now.
"Pers, let the poor animal alone or we're heading straight back home." he barked a threat at his cousin who had placed the tortoise upside down on its shell, making the creature to struggle. Perseus blew a raspberry at Icarus way but he obeyed and let the creature stand on its feet again. "You see what I mean." he pointed at his cousin who was placing now his empty ice-cream cone on the toirtoise's shell. "Maybe we could spend sometime together. The three of us. If you want of course." he suggested tenderly. He wasn't really sure if he could handle that but he was determined to try it out for her.

 

[Kida Frost]

Kida could sense that Icarus was trying to calm her down, she had so much built ge inside of her it was hard to make sure she kept her cool about the Situation. The Brunette shot a cold glance at Icarus when he mentioned that it looked like it, she ignored the comment. Sighing she focused on the task at hand, she felt guilty for not being honest with him, but after a first encounter you don't really have them a Scrap book about your life kida thought to herself.
Icarus reached for her hand and told her that he would try to make her happy, she blushed lightly and smiled. 'I don't want to Scare you away' she said softly. Kida could feel her Stomach flip with excitement as they walk holding his hand. She wasn't sure why she was so exicited or why her heart was pounding so fast.

The Brunette smiled at Scarlet when she put a flower on the Tortoise who was slowly carrying himself away, Perseus had run off to play with some other kids and she snarled 'Percy! I told you to take Care of Scarlet' she called with a harsh tone to her Half Brother who snapped his head around and sulked back to Scarlet and sat next to her, she tisked lightly.
Kida listened to Icarus talk about Kids 'Not your own?' she asked curiously wondering why if he had a relationship with his Cousin why he wouldn't want to share that same relationship with his own child. Kida smiled when he said he never had a Problem with her daughter, she felt relieved.
Watching Icarus' Cousin blow a raspberry at Icarus she giggeled quietly 'Well so there are no more Surprises, Perseus my Half Brother also has another Half Brother who is also my Half Brother named Ashton, Scarlet is my only Child and i have No other Silbings that i know about.' she said so her situation was clear to Icarus 'My Mother hates Magical Blood, I'm her second child, her first was with a Wizard, but she didn't know at the time, she was married to my father at the time, they got married young and she cheated on him, she told him she went for a Job in Paris for a year. She then came back to Australia and a few years later fell pregnant with me, My Father is a Muggle, so i'm a Muggle born, she found out i was Magical and had a fight with dad saying he kept stuff from her, and then to top it off the next guy she was with was Also a Wizard who never told her and she had Perseus, who is a half blood, she's with a 100% Muggle now, since she doesn't want anything to do with Perseus i have to take care of him as well as Scarlet.' she said hoping she covered all bases for him, she didn't want him passing out again.

Kida watched the kids and lead Icarus over to a bench nearby, Kida turned to Icarus and put one hand on his head where the Bludger hit what seemed like years ago 'Are you Okay after i kicked you ass?' she asked curiously with a hint of a joke to lighten the mood.
Icarus mentioned Spending some time together just the Three of them she smiled 'I would like that' she said with a smile as she looked back to them 'I would like that a lot' Kida wanted to put her head on Icarus shoulder and have him wrap his arms around her but she knew it would be going to fast, she was going to take it slower this time and get him accustomed to her life 'We could spend time with your family aswell if you want?' she asked curiously, Perseus seemed like fun, he knew his Quidditch teams rather well, she wouldn't be surprised if he had posters up all over his room of single players and team photos, she would make sure she told him when she knocked Icarus out.

The Brunette wanted to talk to Icarus all day but she also wanted to scoop up Scarlet and introduce here Icarus properly, she decided to wait until he was comfortable.

 

[Icarus Stratis]

"Don't worry. You won't scare me that easily. Maybe if you reveal to me later that you have another child." his joke was followed by a chuckle. He wasn't sure if she got it as a joke though because she rushed to make clear a bunch of things about her family. Icarus was impressed about Kida's mother. Not the kind of good impression however. "Why so opposed against magical blood?" it was the first question he thought of. "She isn't going to like me, is she?" he asked with a smirk. He wasn't even a half-blood to show that he had some muggle blood in him but he had a traction about muggle stuff and their motorcycles. He looked briefly at her half brother who had the same name as his cousin. He then looked back at her, thinking how tough it would be to bring up your daughter and your brother in such a young age but he didn't say anything. He was sure she had heard the kind of words all the time.

He nodded at her question about kids before answering. "They are nice and all for a while but having your own kids means that you have to be alert twenty five hours per day. I just don't feel mature enough for such a responsibility yet. Plus, I'm working too much right now to focus on a family of my own." he explained. Of course he was having a great time with his younger cousins but he wasn't spending his whole day with them. He let a naughty smile form on his face when she mentioned that time they tried to play Quidditch.
"You played dirty right there and you'll have to deal with the consequences sooner or later." he said teasingly as his eyes' pupils expanded a little bit on his grey irises.

He was glad that he gave her joy with his suggestion. He knew somewhere inside him that he was wrong in some parts and it wasn't only her not saying the truth. This suggestion was an attempt to make up for it. His eyes clouded suddenly when she refered to his family. He had his own secrets. Not that big like having a child but he decided to tell her since they were going to be honest with each other."I'm not sure if that is going to be a good idea." he started saying, trying to find a good way to explain to her. "You see, I do have somewhat bad relations with my parents, especially with my father." he continued with a frown. He had to visit them since he turned a page in his life and left for a new beginning in New Zealand. He was sending owl with his mother now and then but he hadn't exchanged any words with his father. "I always wanted to become a professional Quidditch player. My parents had different plans for their first born son so I rebelled and here I am." he said briefly. During he short pause he thought of something else that could make his relation with his parents even worse. They weren't going to accept a relationship of their son with a woman that had already a child from someone else. He tried not to show that he was worried and cracked a smile. "But you can meet my uncle and his family. They are great people, they help me a lot since I came here." he continued, thankful for their hospitality and acceptance.
"You can also meet my younger brother. He's training for an auror. We used to be really close. He drops by at weekends to see me when he has time." he refered to his baby brother who had missed the most. They used to do so many things together.

He kicked a stone with his foot, trying to cast away awkwardness. He wasn't really used to talk about his family although it was a big part of him. So he decided to change a little bit the subject and tease her a little bit more.
"So, that guy at the bar. Did you had anything going?" he asked with a small smirk while looking at her with the corner of his eyes.

 

[Kida Frost]

'You never know I might get another Half Sibling to look after' she said with a small laugh, she doubt it could happen, her mother was getting older now, the chances were very unlikely, she told Perseus she was dried up now that Kida and Ashton were his only half-siblings that they knew of. Kida looked amused when Icarus mentioned that her mother wasn't going to like him 'Well we could tell her you are a muggle and I have devoted myself to the Muggle World' she said with a half serious tone 'Don't worry, you have nothing to worry about, I have no contact with my mother at all, I highly doubt that you'll get to meet her' she said with a reassuring pat on his back.
Kida couldn't help but smirk when Icarus said that he didn't feel mature enough for such a responsibility of a child yet 'Do you think I was? You're never Mature enough' Kida brushed a stray hair out of her face and shook her head at Icarus 'You don't know what to busy is' she said, she didn't doubt that Icarus was too busy but she knew that she probably could beat him with the amount of things she had to do, she was lucky she wasn't insane.. or maybe she was.

The Young Witch laughed when Icarus told her that she played dirty 'I don't play Dirty, if I played Dirty I would have used some magic to make the Bludgers track you, I'm Simply too Pro' she said with a cheeky smile, her eyes were lighting up making them appear more green than Hazel.
Kida listened intently when he talked about his bad family relations, she was fully aware what it was like to be different to your parents, not conforming to what your parents wanted. Kida smiled 'I don't talk to my Mother and you don't talk to your Father, we're a matched set' she said with a smile trying to cheer him up 'I'd love to meet your family though' Kida's smile dropped when she suddenly had a thought 'Are they going to mind Scarlet? Or should I call Watson in to take care of her?' she asked curiously, she didn't want to Outcast Icarus from the only family he had practically.

Kida smiled 'Auror is a very difficult task, I'm surprised he has time, my Cousin wanted to be an Auror, but I don't know if he managed, he was a bit of a free spirit, I haven't seen him in a while, or heard from him, his Grandmother was a bit hating towards his Muggle side of the family, which involved me.' Kida said before looking at Icarus like she had just forgotten something 'Sorry, I have Two Cousins, they're Twins, I did school with most of them, My Mum's Brother married a Witch' Kida said making sure she didn't miss anything.
The Brunette smiled when Icarus asked about the guy at the bar 'Oh well after you left we got wild and I'm pregnant with his child' she said in a joking tone, she shoved him lightly 'Nothing happened, After you left I told him sorry and left aswell, I couldn't focus and I didn't want to be a bad person.' she said, she had tried to forget that night like it never happened, she didn't run into Leo much at the Ministry any more.

Kida watched Scarlet start to pester Perseus and she looked down into her lap as if her hands were the most interesting thing in the world at that moment 'I know this might be a bit quick, but Do you want to meet Scarlet?' she asked hopefully.

 

[Icarus Stratis]

He chuckled on Kida's comment about another future half sibling although he could guess it wasn't so funny for her. She would propably have to bring it up as well if it was going to be magical. He was glad that he wasn't entangled in a similar situation because in the case of your own child, you had chosen to take care of them but in this one you had no other option. He might have to supervise his younger cousins now and then when his uncles had bussiness to take care of like now but it wasn't the same of being devoted all the time.
"I can take over that role." he said pretty sure about himself and his ability to act as a muggle. "Maybe I'll get to excited if I see a television but I'll work on it." he added with a chuckle.
There were things that Kida was experiencing and he was starting to understand them just now. He was always forgeting that she didn't choose to have a baby.

She had to live with it regardless the fact that Scarlet now was her most precious part of her. "I guess you are right. I might never feel ready." he admitted as he wanted to do so many things and a child would be a liability. For now.
He groaned when Kida told him that he had no idea what busy was but he prefered not to analyze his hectic schedule that included paperwork and patrols at school, matches along with hours of practices with Macaws and contributed in a complex program of breeding winged horses. Plus, sometimes he was also babysitting his two younger cousins which was for him the most unpleasant task.

"Don't get so confident. Wait until we play against you. We won't go soft just because you are an all women team." he refered to a potential future game between Holyhead Harpies and Moutohora Macaws. He would actually like a game against her. It was surprising how much you could learn about someone from the way they play Quidditch.
"We'll see. No reason to worry our minds with that for now." he said as he wanted to spend sometime alone and then with families. It was too early. At least for him.
"My brother was always very disciplined and well-organized. Quite the opposite of me. I'm more like a drifted leaf in the air." he compared himself with his younger brother, explaining why he had managed to become an auror.
He smiled when she talked about another member of her family, this time hating muggles rather than wizards.
"I feel relieved that I'm not the only one with the big, loud family." he commented as he realised that all families had members with their own oddities. "I have at least seven close cousins. I did school as well with some of them and now I'm teaching to the rest of them." he said with a smile as maybe in the future he was going to teach flying to Perseus and Theseus.

He frowned for a moment when she told him that she was pregnant with the guy he fought with in that bar but he cracked a smile when she shoved him lightly and explained to him. He felt unexplainable jealousy back that day but he wasn't going to reveal that to her. "I'm just asking. It's not that it is my bussiness. Back then we didn't have anything." he added, acting incurious but deep inside him he was celebrating it.
Icarus recognized hope in Kida's voice. He wasn't really prepared, he wasn't quite sure how to behave.
"Sure! Why not?" he replied with a warm smile. He instinctively shoved his hands into his pockets, like he wanted to draw some kind of supportive power from within them.

 

[Kida Frost]

Kida laughed when he said that he could take over that role and getting excited about televisions 'You do know I have a TV in my house right' she said in a playful tone, she was often surprised how certain things made Witches and Wizards so surprised about the muggle technology, Kida had grown up with a Magical family but lived a Muggle childhood, the Magical world was so more exciting than the Muggle World.

Kida laughed when he groaned when she explained that he had no idea how busy she was 'I work for the Ministry, I also have Matches and Practices for Quidditch and a Daughter to care for plus my Half Brother, So I'm constantly filling out paper work, Making lunches, flying around, getting beaten up with bludgers.... rarely but it does happen and apparating between countries. It's Exhausting!' she said with a smile, she sometimes didn't know how she did it, she was always here there and everywhere in one day.
The Brunette scoffed at Icarus' remark about his team the Moutohora Macaws 'Don't get ahead of yourself mate, I've knocked you out of the Sky once, I can easily do it again' she said with a grin on her face, she deep down didn't like it when she knocked him out of the sky, but it was going to be in a match and there was no time for relationships to take hold. 'And, Mister Smarty Pants, out Woman team could easily kick your ass' she said shoving him lightly 'Kiera and myself have played on the same team since Hogwarts, we're all set' Kida winked at Icarus and look back to Scarlet and watched her to make sure she wasn't trying to eat any rocks.

'Your Brother seems ready to take on the world, How old is he?' she said with a smile, she wasn't ready to function until she was in her second last year of school 'You can't be a leaf adrift in the air, You would be hopeless at Quidditch if that was the case' she teased Kida often enjoyed sitting on her broom at her mini Quidditch pitch and letting the wind carry the broom around but it wouldn't be good in a game of Quidditch.

'Trust me, My Family is big and Twisted sometimes, one side hates Muggles the other Hates Magical Folk' Icarus mentioned him having seven 'close' cousins and she shook her head 'My Family's not that big, I have two Cousins, two brothers and that's it' The Bruentte ran one hand through her hair, she smiled at Icarus' expression to her joke he seemed angry slightly but he caught on quickly. Kida felt her heart drop slightly when he said back then they didn't have anything 'At that point, No' she said, she liked to think they had a little something even when he ran out the door, but she was going to press the issue.

Icarus agreed to meeting Scarlet and she smiled, she got up off the bench and turned to look at Icarus 'Just tell me if it's too much and I'll go ask Perseus to look after her again' she said before walking over to the children, Scarlet seemed excited to see Kida walking to her and tried to get up again to walk over to her, her legs all wobbley she wasn't going that well. Kida changed her walk to a light jog over to Scarlet and scooped her up in her arms, the child's soft brown hair was starting the thicken and cover her head. 'Go Play with the other kids Percy, but make sure I can see you' she said to Perseus before she walked over to Icarus, Kida held Scarlet close and stroked her hair softly trying to hide the fact her heart was racing at an unspeakable pace. Kida stopped in front of Icarus and Scarlet looked at him curiously, Scarlet had Hazel eyes just like Kida and the same shade of brown hair, Scarlet looked quite a bit like Kida with her features which Kida was glad about. Kida's Hazel eyes looked into Icarus' and she smiled as she held out Scarlet for Icarus to take 'Icarus, this is Scarlet' Scarlet tilted her head slightly at the man before her she was a Healthy 7 and a half Months now and was developing quite quickly, she had started walking briefly but often couldn’t manage it for long. Kida held her breath, she didn't know what to expect.

 

[Icarus Stratis]

Icarus smiled when he noticed that she found amusing his excitement about television.
"Yeah, I noticed but it gets me more excited when it is turned on." he replied. The specific muggle invention looked a lot like magical portraits although the background and the residents could change by the minute. A great means of information and entertainment. "My place is actually exactly like a muggle's house but I lack the television." he talked about his house. It had electricity and all but intentionally he didn't bouth a TV as well. It was going to absorb so much of his precious time.
He could understand how demanding could be the unbringing of scarlet and her brother. He wished his mother had spent more time with him and his brother during their childhood but her career was also important. Icarus didn't really complain about that as he had the opportunity to spend most of his time with his grandparents. They were the most 'beautiful' people he had ever met. Both wise, pleasant and still in love after so many years.
"It's nice that you have found balance between career and your duties as a mother." he finally said.

There was no point in argue about which team was going to shine. That was going to be determined in a real match. "One thing is sure. I'm not planning to let a single Quaffle pass through my hoops. Especially when it is shot by a chick." he contented to say.
He couldn't see from where Kida had drawn that conclusion for his brother. Solon was really following rules and has his life in order. He was far from the type of person that would like to travel and experience different things. Icarus was more like that. "He's nineteen but he's a lot more mature in brains than me." he said with a chuckle.
"For example, as soon as he graduated, he instantly joined the training program for aurors. I, on the other hand, took my broom and my backpack and along with a few other young adult wizards and witches, I traveled east until I reached New Zealand in the end." he showed her how different could be two brothers.

She was quite right about the fact that someone should be well-disciplined to become a professional player.
"I don't mean it in that way. When it comes to my job, I give everything I have." he clarified that.
"I mean that one day, I might be happy and satisfied with everything. Having my job, a new house but suddenly I might feel the urge to move out, find a new place, go to another country or change profession." he tried to explain what he was feeling sometimes. Of course he had managed to stay in New Zealand for over a year which was surprising for him after the one and a half year travelling from country to country. Maybe his short excursions with friends around the world during weekends, had contributed to that. For now, he was feeling alright with his life. He wasn't planning to change it as soon as he knew that he could escape to a tropical island even for a few hours.

"Well, that would make it interesting." he said about the division between her family members. "My family on the other hand, had never problems with blood. I would say that we were always charmed by the existance of muggles. Even our great ancestor who was a witch had a thing for muggle men." he said and a smile arced on his face. It was funny how wizards and witches of antiquity, who were supposed to be much more talented and wise, they had also their own flaws and weaknesses.

He shook his head once more to show her that he had no problem to meet her daughter. Why avoid something that was going to happen eventually? As Kida was returning back to him with her little daughter in her arms, he felt his throat dry and the process of swallowing seemed more difficult than ever. What if he was going to scare her, what if she didn't like him? He was afraid that in case Kida was going to give him Scarlet to hold her, he might was too clumsy or rough. He had never held a baby before. Kida introduced officially her daughter to him.
He didn't know what to say. A 'nice to meet you' was ready to slip off his tongue but he wasn't introduced to the minister of magic nor to a new collegue. He lowered a little bit his posture so he won't look intimidating. He gave her his index finger which she grabbed into her tight grip for a different kind of handshake. "Hello Scarlet!" his voice came out softer than usual and the innocence on her cute face, shaped a warm smile on his features. "Hi!" he said again, his voice even softer as he was shaking his finger along with her tiny hand. "She really looks like you." he turned to Kida. It wasn't that difficult after all.

 

[Kida Frost]

Kida snickered lightly when Icarus said that he got Excited when the TV was turned on, she still didn't understand why, maybe it was the same way she got excited when she noticed pictures first moving, Kida clearly remembered shreiking and throwing a quill at it. Kida tilted her head at Icarus and decided to play the Muggle Cliche 'No TV, Oh my Gawd how do you survive' she said in a Sarcastic tone.
Kida smiled at Icarus when he said it was good that she had found a balance between her job and her duties, she knew it wasn't hard but she wasn't going to bore Icarus with the details of how she did it.
Smirking Kida shook her head 'I know you wont, that's why you're going to be on the ground twitching in the first 5 minutes of the game thanks to one of my powerful bludgers, you do remember how much it hurts getting hit by one of them right' she said with a cheeky wink. Kida would back down to discuss a number of topics but Quidditch wasn't one of them, she had been playing for years and still hadn't been knocked out.

Kida shook her head again when Icarus mentioned his brother, to be so young and so organized had to be a miracle, she had no clue and had to sit down one day and draw out what she wanted to do. 'Good thing you did Travel East then' she said with a small smile, if he didn't she would have never had met him and she didn't want to think of what or who she would be with now.

The Brunette brushed her long brown hair out of her eyes again, some of it had started to come lose, Icarus mentioned one of his family members liking the muggle man and she giggled 'I don't see the difference between Muggle and Magical men, they're exactly the same apart from one has magic and the other doesn't' she shrugged, maybe it was the same way as blood, she was still magical but she wasn't pure blood so she was different.

Kida stood patiently to see how Icarus would react to Scarlet, he smile at her and she smiled back. Kida smiled kindly as Scarlet grabbed onto Icarus' hand, she was rather strong and she decided she wanted to use Icarus as leverage to stand up on his lap, any chance she got Scarlet wanted to stand, she wanted to run around and be older than she was. Kida shook her head as she thought of Scarlet one day going off to Hogwarts. Snapping back to the present Kida sat down next to Icarus making sure Scarlet didn't explode into tears which was a rare but occasionally happened. 'Can you say Icarus?' kida asked in a childish tone, Scarlet pointed at Icarus and said 'Maaaaaaa...' kida shook her head but continued to smile 'Icarus sweetie, that's Icarus' she said with Patience in her voice Scarlet was good with recognizing faces to pictures not but she hadn't seen Icarus before, she called Perseus by a high pitched Squeal which was different to Ashton who she called 'Aa..' she was developing quickly in certain aspects but slowly in others but Kida had all the time in the world. Scarlet seemed to have given up with Identifying Icarus to a sound so she just bounced aimlessly up and down whilst standing on Icarus' Knee's. Kida smiled 'Wow, Are you dancing? You're Very clever' she cooed to the small child who smiled back.

Kida shook her head and sighed softly, for some reason she felt at peace watching Scarlet

 

[Icarus Stratis]

The awkwardness was visible on his features. He had never holded a baby before and as Scarlet grabbed with her little soft hands his big, rough ones to stand up on his lap, he was afraid tha he was going to do something wrong and make her cry. He smiled however, when Kida tried to make her say his name. She obviously had some difficulty to pronounce it he couldn't blame her. "Straight to the tough stuff." he commented as his name wasn't even correctly spelled by grown ups. Awkwardness melted into a broad smile when Scarlet managed to utter an exclamation in place of his name. "I think I got a new nickname." he said as Scarlet started her own little dance by bouncing on his knees. "It looks like to me she's trying to express herself and she gets a little bit mad with use that we can't understand her." he pointed out as he had given her both his hands to assist her to her bouncy dance. "How old is she?" he wondered if she was old enough to start speaking properly although he had no idea when kids were supposed to start talking. He used just his right hand to hold her as his left upon release, plucked a small anemone blossom that was flourishing among the dry grass. "Here you go!" he offered her the blossom.
"I hope she doesn't have the bad tendency of putting objects in her mouth?" he asked anxiously, too late as Scarlet had already picked the blossom.

 

[Kida Frost]

Kida smiled, she could tell Icarus was Awkward with the Situation but she was ready to rescue him as soon as thing turned bad. Laughing when Icarus said that he got a new Nick Name 'You'll get a better one soon, don't worry' she said with a smile.
Icarus said that Scarlet was putting her emotions out through her little dance and Kida nodded, she Agree'd but she liked to turn frustrating situations into positive ones.
Scarlet had changed her grumpy dance into a happy dance now and put more bounce into it 'She's 8 and a Half Months, not talking yet, she's quick and can waddle a few steps but she is recognizing things and giving them names of her own which is good'

Icarus gave Scarlet a Blossom and Kida smiled, she knew it would be wrecked which was such a shame, it was a Pretty Blossom. Icarus asked if she put things in her mouth and Kida sat up straight shaking her head 'Not anymore, How ever she does...' but before she could finish her sentance Scarlet threw the Blossom with full force at icarus' Head, Luckily for the light weight of the Blossom it didn't hit hard but Kida giggeled 'She does like throwing things' she said finishing her sentance with small giggles. Scarlet had a powerful throwing arm, she managed to throw things across rooms and onto tables.

Kida held her hands out to see if Icarus wanted to escape the clutches of the child 'Are you okay? or do you want me to take her?' she aske leaving the decision up to Icarus, she didn't mind she just didn't want to Scare him.
