[The camera is on the kid. The camera is backing away from the child that is following it.]
Electra? Tell me this is one of yours. The little -- [The child, blonde haired blue eyed little precious little demon that it is lurches forward, arms reaching to Pylades for a hug. He anticipates the action, however, and dodges to the side. The camera never leaves the boy.] - cherub that this is.
[Once again the boy tries to hug him, moving swifter than last time. Pylades sticks out his hand, palm meeting the boy's forehead and the child hits it, harder than Pylades hoped he would. All of a sudden the child bursts into waterfalls of tears, hiccuping and gurgling uncontrollably. When the child steps back, Pylades' hand disappears off-screen again. Now he sounds as though he is trying to bargain with it~]
Listen, kid, stop crying. Please. Please? Ugh, shut up.[A hand appears to poke the child in the shoulder. It's staring at the floor, the tears have ended abruptly.] Come on, little one, say something for Daddy.
[The last word slipped out, simply because the child had been calling him so. The child interprets the title as recognition that it does indeed belong to Pylades and once again launches itself at him. "I love you, Daddy. You are the best, Daddy. Never leave me, Daddy. I'd be sad if you left me, Daddy. I wouldn't be happy, Daddy. Not one bit, Daddy," the child mumbles into his stomach whilst the camera watches the top of its head.
Then Pylades turns the camera slowly, trying not to make any sudden movements and points it at his face. "Help me" he mouths before frowning and saying pointedly-]
Electra if this isn't yours and I find out it's illegitimate. It's terrorist days will be over.
[Cue wails from the child, arms still locked around Pylades. Pylades' expression is extremely unimpressed, almost angry, and you hear him swear as he turns off the transmission.]
