LOG: Welcome to The House

[skyward_eyes]

Who: Nida (OU), Theta (Native), Any Ai family members
What: Finally at the Ai home as a guest, with packing
Where: Ai Household
When: Wednesday Afternoon 1/20
Warnings:

Nida, invited over and with express orders to see that Theta behaves and starts his packing for the family's move, waits at the door after he's rung the bell. In his hands rests a box of assorted cookies from the store bakery, in his backpack some games in case the littlest ones he's heard about need distracted, and on his lips a small smile. Finally he can check in on the little guy for real.

'That would be awesome! There's a few good big ones as well, not in my room, but downstairs.'

He looks out over the room, covered in his stuff and boxes either flatpacked or the few he's already put up. 'Alright, let's do this.'

[skyward_eyes]

"We'll have fun with this," Nida smiles. "I promise. But first, while I make the boxes, you need to think about the things that aren't as important, okay?"

[trustandfireworks]

'Okay.' He looks around again, trying to imagine what he doesn't use so often as othet things.

[skyward_eyes]

"Like, parts for your old skateboard, you might not need those right now, right?" Nida suggests as he finds the tape, scissors, and sits himself down by the boxes.

[trustandfireworks]

'Oh, yeah that's a good start. Should I start packing them or just know wehat they're going to be?'

[skyward_eyes]

"I'm supposed to help you pack," Nida says. "I want your brothers to not be mad at me, okay?"

Because that wouldn't be good for anything.

[trustandfireworks]

'They shouldn't be mad you, you're already helping,' he says. It's not fair that his brothers are hard on Nida like this.

[skyward_eyes]

"I want to help," Nida counters. "I care about you, and I intend to see this move made easier for you. Which I can do by helping."

[trustandfireworks]

'I know, but it just feels like they're always getting on at you, and it's not fair.'

[skyward_eyes]

"I'm an unknown factor in a family that has a lot of bad stuff happening lately," Nida counters. "They want to protect you, just like I would if I was your brother. It's okay, Theta. I know proving myself is important. It's really okay."

[trustandfireworks]

He pulls his legs up and wraps his arms around them. 'I guess.' Does bad stuff like this happen to every family?

[skyward_eyes]

"T, relax," Nida suggests as he finishes a box and sets it aside. "Or I'm going to have to put you inside this box."

[trustandfireworks]

'That's not a punishment, I'd get in anyway,' he says. 'Boxes are awesome, you be anything in them.'

[skyward_eyes]

"Are you implying I'm not good at punishment?" Nida asks, faking being horrified.

[trustandfireworks]

'Not if you think being put in a box is one,' he giggles.

[skyward_eyes]

"Oh man, it sounds like someone wants punished," Nida grins mischievously. He's still a kid inside, like it or not.

[trustandfireworks]

'I fear no box!' he declares, standing up on the bed.

[skyward_eyes]

"You should!" Nida laughs, moving to pick the boy up and carry him off. He spins around with Theta, laughing as he does so.

"I'm the boxing monster."

[trustandfireworks]

Theta yelps and clings to Nida as he's spun around, his cry quickly turning into laughter.

'I will not be defeated!'

[skyward_eyes]

"I think you will," Nida laughs, bouncing the boy as he stops spinning. "I am invincible."

[trustandfireworks]

'Never!' Nida's so strong, he's holding almost as easily as Omega does. 'Puny box monster!'

[skyward_eyes]

"Puny? I'm offended," Nida pouts, moving to put Theta into the box he made. There, victory.

[trustandfireworks]

'Aha! I tricked you! This box is actually my secret weapon in disguise!' He grabs the edges of the box and starts scooting along in it.

[skyward_eyes]

"Oh no!" Nida laughs. "How do I win this fight now?"

[trustandfireworks]

'You don't!' he cheers. 'With my secret weapon, I am invincible! More invincible than you!'
