babysitting interviews!

[awesome_lilly]

They present quite the family picture, Puck and Lilly and the twins. The Goodfellow-Kane paterfamilias is lounging in an apparently gravity-defying yet graceful manner over the arm and back of the sofa upon which his fair lady languidly reclines. On the table before them sit a pair of baby baskets. Aria Moonshine Goodfellow-Kane is cooing gently in

Matilda peers very dubiously in the door.

On seeing Puck and Lilly (mostly Lilly), she brightens considerably.

"Hallo," she says, and enters. "There was a sign?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Hey, Matilda!"

Lilly grins at her.

"Yeah, you saw that? We're hiring babysitters."

[puckishly]

Matilda looks a little ... on the young side, to Puck. But whatever, right? Age ain't nothing but a number.

He waves cheerfully.

[precocioustilda]

Considering the last two applicants were also under ten, it appears Matilda's in luck.

She waves back and grins back, respectively. "So I heard. Is there to be some form of interview, then?"

[awesome_lilly]

"Oh yeah, some form."

Lilly shrugs, looking over at Puck.

"You've stol- er, adopted more babies than I have, darling. What's the most important question to ask here?"

[puckishly]

... Oh, no fair pinning this on him!

Puck has something of a deer-in-the-headlights look to him for a moment.

Then he smiles, and asks quite earnestly: "What is your opinion of singing fish?"

[precocioustilda]

"I can't say I've ever met one in person," says Matilda with remarkable aplomb, "but I have no particular objection to them in theory."

[awesome_lilly]

Lilly looks somewhat grave at this. Of course, Matilda did say she hadn't met one yet, so hopefully she has latent piscicidal tendencies.

"Hmmm. Okay. Next on the list..."

No list actually exists, so there is a brief pause.

"How do you feel about diapers?"

[puckishly]

Puck nods sagely.

This is an important question-- perhaps not as important as fish, but close.

[precocioustilda]

"...A useful contrivance?" she hazards.

[awesome_lilly]

"Indeed!"

Lilly nods, looking pleased by this. Matilda did not make the 'ewwww' face. Promising.

And then she looks over at Puck with a very clear YOUR TURN TO ASK A QUESTION look. They've been married so long, they're practically mindreaders!

...or she's mouthing the words. Whatever.

[puckishly]

Puck shoots Lilly a look. Never mind that he's barely been pulling his own weight anyway.

"And what, dearling, should you say that you feel on the matter of singing?"
