So the Leverage crew didn't have any kids visiting this weekend. They had managed - somehow - to get a note through the portal, folded into the most intricate paper airplane Eliot had ever seen, assuring them that Spike and Ada were both just fine, but were simply far too busy to visit this year. Eliot had decided that the island was taking it ( Read more... )

Talk to Eliot vdistinctive April 24 2017, 17:37:19 UTC

In case you want to show off your little brats.

Oh Eliot. You were so cute when you thought you'd escaped unscathed. Because you know the only thing more exciting than surprise children...?

"HI GRANDPA!"

...Was surprise grandchildren. Specifically the three girls grinning at him across the counter right now. Two were identical twin teen girls with white hair, the third a little girl about half their age and all three wore their mother's delighted grin.

Hardison, who had been missing the kids fiercely this weekend, immediately started laughing.

And didn't stop until he had a stitch in his side and trouble catching his breath. Don't mind him, folks.

They had their mother's timing, too. Eliot had just been testing some homemade jam and promptly choked. This wasn't even a spit-take style choke, this was a full on, coughing fit, doubled over with his hands braced on the stove, the cook patting him on the back and reminding him to breath choke.

"Um," he managed. "H-hi girls."

At least he managed to get the heat turned off before the jam burned.

And her desire to be helpful!

"Grandpa, grandpa!" Carys said, bouncing over the counter and into the kitchen in worry. "Grandpa, are you okay? Do you need some water?"

Re: Talk to Eliot vdistinctive April 24 2017, 18:20:49 UTC

He was only 41. At least he was old enough to have kids the age of the ones that'd shown up before.

"Yeah," he coughed. "Water's good." He managed to straighten up, rubbing his chest. "Thanks, darlin'."

Three of them. Kathy could have warned him. . . .

"Grandpa..." Hardison repeated to himself, still laughing too hard to even get a picture of Eliot's expressions, each more priceless than the last.

Re: Talk to Eliot super_rebels April 24 2017, 18:27:35 UTC

The dishwasher tried to grab a cup to help, but was stopped by Carys stubbornly, "I can get it! I wanna do it!"

For their part, the twins continued to look innocent, like they had no idea why their greeting could have possibly resulted in this kind of reaction. "You sure you don't need any help, Granddad?" the one of the left asked. "We're here if you need us, Granddad," supplied the one on the right.

Sweetly, of course. They were helping!

Re: Talk to Eliot vdistinctive April 24 2017, 18:44:16 UTC

Oh babies, Eliot had met both your presumed parents. The look he was giving you now said that in no uncertain terms.

You know, when he wasn't still coughing lightly into his fist.

"She put you up to this, didn't she."

Re: Talk to Eliot super_rebels April 24 2017, 19:34:15 UTC

"Would Mom do that?" the twins asked in harmony.

"Surely not," one of them said to her sister.

"She would never," replied the other.

Re: Talk to Eliot spin_kick_mage April 24 2017, 19:36:20 UTC

"Mommy said that we should go downstairs and get lunch and say hi to you, Grandpa!" Carys said, tugging on his pants. "But it was Eva's idea to do it all together!"

She was just excited to be included with the big girls. She'd never had big sisters before!

Re: Talk to Eliot vdistinctive April 24 2017, 19:47:52 UTC

Eliot suddenly found himself glad that Trudy's twins didn't do the spooky twinspeak thing.

"She absolutely would," Eliot said. "She'd probably try to have a camera on me when you did, though." He shook his head. "Right, names. If to call me -" He couldn't even say it. He couldn't. "- without introducin' yourselves, I'm going to give you embarrassing nicknames."

Re: Talk to Eliot spin_kick_mage April 24 2017, 20:07:14 UTC

"I'm Carys and I'm seven!" Carys announced, because that was a very big deal. It had happened not very long ago, you see, and people needed to be informed. She hugged his leg. "And you're Grandpa!"

Sarah had said to remind him of that a lot because Now was before Then and he might forget if he wasn't constantly reminded.

"But you can give me a nickname if you want, Grandpa. I don't mind."

Re: Talk to Eliot super_rebels April 24 2017, 20:10:50 UTC

"She's Eva..." said Sarah, pointing at her twin.

"...and she's Sarah..." Eva supplied, pointing back.

"...Grandpa," they ended in unison again. Because everyone was terrible to poor Eliot.

Re: Talk to Eliot vdistinctive April 24 2017, 20:31:44 UTC

Eliot had been sixty and not a grandfather. And all this not really that long after he'd freaked out because he never thought he'd live to see forty.

"You two do that just to freak people out, don't you," Eliot said to Eva and Sarah - he was guaranteed to get them mixed up - and then looked down at Carys. "You can't be seven," he told her. "You have to be at least twenty-two." He bent down to pick her up and wondered if he was getting a glimpse of what Kathy must have looked like at her age. "I think you might need more than a nickname. You might need a superhero name."

Re: Talk to Eliot spin_kick_mage April 24 2017, 21:00:26 UTC

"We'd never!" Sarah--or was it Eva?--insisted.

"Absurd!" declared Eva. Probably.

"Oooh, I want a superhero name!" Carys said, giggling. "And I'm not twenty-two! That's old! I'm only seven!"
