Dylan: *comes bouncing in with his stuffed Simba and a kiddie book*
Victor: *stares at*
Victor: Whaddaya want me to do with THAT?
Dylan: *climbs into his lap & hands him the book* read me?
Victor: *grumbles, glances over at Nat trying not to sporfle too hard into the pillows&
Victor: ....ask yer mother.
Dylan: nuh uh... your turn
Victor: *rolls eyes, sighs, grabs the book* Okay, fine. C'mon.
Nat: *curls up with her ferals, loves listening to Victor talk anyway*
Victor: *not quite gritting his teeth, opens the book and starts to read*
Nat: *her head's on his shoulder with Dylan curled up between them in his little footie jammies*
Victor: *actually gets a bit self-conscious reading aloud*
Nat: *snuzzles his shoulder*
Victor: *may be getting very cuddly with Dylan without even noticing*
Nat: *gently takes Dylan's thumb out of his mouth*
Victor: *really gets into the book and does the 'voices' and things*
Dylan: *bb!giggles*
Nat: *smiles and cuddles closer*
Victor: *gets into the part of being the villain*
Nat: *nudges him a little, silently telling him not to be -too- scary*
Victor: What? I ain't havin' him *ruffles Dylan's hair* bein' no goddamn Disney hero!
Nat: sshhh, I don't want him swearing like a sailor before he's ten
Victor: That ain't swearin'...
Nat: *patient look* Victor...
Dylan: *all big eyes and thumb-sucking*
Victor: *glare.... glare.... glare.... dammit, ILU Nat.... looks away*
Victor: C'mon Tigger... we're almost near the end now
Dylan: *doesn't get what just happened, looks back at the book*
Victor: *may have Adamantium claws but handles his son VERY gently, slides a protective arm around him*
Nat: *sees this, smiles*
Dylan: *rests his head on Victor's chest, lulled by the sound of his voice*
Victor: An' then Nala looked out an' saw that it wasn't Scar talkin', it was Simba. "Simba!" she said. She couldn't believe that her friend was alive. *pats plushi Simba on the head*
Dylan: *tries to make purring noises, fails*
Victor: *chuckles*
Dylan: rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Victor: *purr*
Dylan: RRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Nat: *chuckles softly*
Victor: You'll get it, kiddo.
Dylan: *squeezes his Simba to make him purr*
