Unlikely Love

[Cadee Prince]

"Aiden come back-" Cadee called, pushing a stroller along. Her baby daughter was growing fast, so too were her sons. Although Aiden was technically her newphew Cadee mother'd him as her own and had adopted him into her brood. Sometimes he was a troubled child, but mostly he was quiet and content...if not a bit of a mischief maker.

"Aiden, Olly's not as big as you." She scolded as the two boys disappeared into the market crowd. What had gotten into the boys? She knew they were going to Nephri's stall, they always run off and hid under the table there, but today it was busy and today she didn't have a head for them running off.

Cadee felt dissy; she'd been hot all day and hadn't eaten much recently. Her little filed mouse, chester ran up her arm, whiskered tickling her face before he ran and sat on the baby in the basket looking at odds with his mistress, head tipped.

"OW!" Came a yell from up ahead, and she heard Oliver cry out. When she finally got to them it turned out her little boy had been stung by a bee- a bee that was sat very calmly in Aiden's hand, protected as Oliver flailed and yelled...still, very much a live.... but weren't bee's suppose to die with their stingers?

Cadee frowned, her head spinning as she felt fever up her spine. "Boys?" She asked, calmly, bending to them. "What happened?"

Aiden shrugged, and tucking the bee into the pocket of his shirt he ran off once more, leaving Cadee to sigh. She was not having a good day.

Even after Aiden ran off, Oli stood there crying. "Mummmy!" He held up his finger for her to make better. "Owwwwie!" His big eyes were filled with tears and his bottom lip trembled. Never having been stung before, the little elf had inadvertant trust for all of the Goddess' creatures. Today, he'd turned a lesson about having a more jaded sens of trust.

Nephri saw Aiden come up alone to her stall. Assuming Cadee was just behind, she came over and smiled. "Hello, Master Aiden." She smiled, kneeling so they were face to face. "Have you come to visit me?" Straightening, she lead him over to behind the booth. "Would you like cocoa? A biscuit?"

[Cadee Prince]

She scooped him into her arm, kneeling. Kissing his finger she took the stinger in her teeth adn with her lips she healed his boo-boo. "My little love, all better now, my brave boy." She murmured, hugging him softly. "Wanna rid the pram with me and Issy?" She murmured, as sickness startled her.

Aiden grinned. ""Yes please - and one for my friend!" He said, a little buzz coming from his pocket.

[Nephri Lyons]

Oli looked up at her, eyes wide. "Mama, you k?" He looked around, as for trying to find his Daddy. He tugged on her hand, whimpering.

"Your friend?" Neph cocked her head to one side, "And who is that?"

[Cadee Prince]

She nodded and kissed him gentle, scooping him in. "Mam's okay baby boy." She murmured gently, sweetly kissing him again. Rising slowly she put him on the back of the pram. "Hold on, we have to find Aidie."

"I dont know. I like him-"

[Nephri Lyons]

Nephri nodded, "Well you both can have a cookie then." She smiled and handed him another one, pointing to a stool. "Why don't you sit until Cadee and Oli get here?"

[Cadee Prince]

Cadee pushed the pram up behind them, coming to the stall. She was leaning on the pram, feeling a little faint, and let the boy jump off the back. "Go, go see Aunt Nephri-" She laughed, softly, hushing the baby Isolde softly.

Oli giggled, now that he saw Ms Nephy and went to give her a hug. She scooped the little boy up and spun him around. The two babbled together before he set her down. Only the little boy didn't go sit by Aiden, just eyed him cautiously.
