Second Floor Common Room, early Monday afternoon

[stykera]

Stark didn't have classes on Mondays. And he didn't have any children claiming to be his following him around. Naturally, he decided the proper course of action was to install himself in a common room after finally wandering out of his own room and see if any weetinies showed up. So he was on a couch, TV on, and a sandwich in hand. He could probably easily be persuaded to provide horribly sugary foods to any tiny people that might appear.


[Is open. Cos it's a common room and I have a snow day yay.]

He was still playing hide and seek from his mom cause it was fun, so he wandered in hearing the TV and proceeded to climb up on the couch next to the guy already sitting there.

But Sebastian didn't stare at the TV, he stared at the guy with the thing on his face.

[stykera]

The staring wasn't anything new, so Stark let it go.

"Hello."

"Hi." He whispered, glancing at his sandwich. "Are you going to eat that?"

Mac poked her head in, and sighed when there was still no sign of a certain emo-tastic kid. She was more convinced than ever that she was just not cut out for parenting.

"Kid wearing a lot of black, about so high, seen her?" Mac directed at Stark. She's just getting better and better at this vague description, thing.

[stykera]

Stark looked at the sandwich, then at the boy.

"Yes. But there's more. Are you hungry?"

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

"What's your name? I can't take food from a stranger." He wasn't supposed to talk to one either but that was beside the point.

[stykera]

Stark nodded, then frowned a little.

"She was in the clinic last night. She belongs to you?"

[stykera]

"Stark. What's yours?" If taking food from strangers was bad, was taking food from aliens better or worse? A question for the ages.

"Stark. That's a cool name. Makes me think of sharks which are bad if they bite you. I'm Sebastian." And he held out his little hand. "I'm six almost seven."

[stykera]

"I met a shark once," Stark said, taking the offered hand. "Good to meet you, Sebastian."

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

His eyes grew really big, "You met a shark?"

[stykera]

Stark nodded. "I did. He came to talk to us, for a class once."

"But sharks live in the ocean and it would die if it came out of the ocean. Are you sure it was a shark cause I don't think they can talk. Only on TV when they're cartoons." Sebastian was pretty sure adult people don't lie, but Stark might be on drugs or something. Daddy said he knew a girl once who was on drugs. Bad girl. Bad drugs. Don't do drugs.

[stykera]

Stark wasn't on drugs. He was just a little off, most of the time.

"He was in a tank," he explained. "So he was still in the water. And he talked in Shark, not in any people languages."

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Okay." That made perfect sense to Sebastian. Animals and stuff did have their own language. "Do you talk in shark?"

Aeryn comes in with a little dark-haired five-year-old who's holding onto her hand. She gives Stark a little nod hello as D'Argo tries to tug her into the kitchen.

[stykera]

"Only a little," Stark said. "I don't have enough teeth to do it very well." And then because teeth lead into food very easily, "did you want a sandwich?"

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

Sebastian looked over his shoulder to make sure his mommy hadn't come in the room, then he turned back to Stark and whispered, "Do you have any candy?" He would eat a sandwich only if he had to.

[stykera]

"Hello, Aeryn."

Stark nodded back, and gave the little boy a questioning look. Somehow Aeryn with a child seemed a little...odd.

[stykera]

Stark rarely ventured into an empty common room without candy. "Do you like peanut butter cups?"

[can_be_more]

"It's been an interesting day," she explains, and D'Argo greets him with a "Hi!"

[sebastian-jr.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Sebastian bounced up and down on the couch. "Yes! They're my favorite!"

[stykera]

"I think it's been interesting for a lot of people. He belongs to you then?"

Stark grinned down at D'Argo. "Hello."

[stykera]

"Mine too," Stark said, producing a bag of candy from a pocket in his jacket. "Not too many," he added. Mostly because there needed to be candy should other weetinies show up.

Aeryn nods but doesn't have a chance to say anything before D'Argo says, "I don't have to have food cubes here," like this is something Very Important.
