As Zoe gets ready for the day, Maya is sitting on the floor of the bedroom, studying herself in the mirror. She has a tooth or two, and is currently fascinated with that other baby staring at her. It amuses Zoe, and she ties her hair back, watching her not so little baby.

Wash, freshly out of the shower, his hair standing on end where he'd rubbed it with a towel, smiled at Maya's response as he stood in the doorway. "Anyone'd think you were happy to see me, mei mei," Wash said with a grin at Zoe.

"Well, she knows now that you're back around, she can start getting anything she wants again," Zoe smirks.

"What? I let you get anything you want?" Wash said, scooping Maya up into his arms, and kissing her all over her face. "I don't spoil you." Much.

Maya coos happily and scrunches up her nose as she giggles.

Peeking in the doorway she smiles at Maya and they flicks her silent gaze on Zoe.

Maya gives River away, twisting her body so that she can reach out for her with a call. Zoe looks up and smiles, the concern for her though still in her eyes.

"Hey River. How you feelin'?" She knows it's been hard on her, losing Simon, but she also tried hard not to hover, treat her like a child.

"I'm going to eat your baby." She enters slowly, dropping to all fours to crawl toward Maya making snarling wild animal faces, hair a wild tumble.

She is obviously being a lion.

"She does look mighty delicious," Zoe chuckles.

Maya gets excited, her eyes widening as she flops forward on her hands and knees.
