Who: Dean and uh.... a wee Sam Winchester
Broadcast: fleetwide!
Action: Red Fish
When: nooww

[ Dean looks ultimately..... tired. And vaguely grumpy, but when does he not look like either of those things. Though it could be said he has good reason for this as there is a toddler-sized child in his arms, preoccupied with screeching and reaching desperately for the ground. It's shouting his name on repeat 'Dean, dowwn, Dean, dooowwn!' but as soon as he puts the child back on the floor, he's immediately reaching back up again, tugging on Dean's jacket, arms reaching for the sky.

'Dean! Deaaan!'

Truth be told, this is not actually something unfamiliar to him.

It's just something that feels as if it happened a million years ago. ]

Looking for some place to take a kid. [ Wait, let's rephrase. ] Not to dump him, but to get him outside.

Don't feel like cramping him up in here while we've got the chance to get out and-- haven't exactly toured the place much. Just want to get him out without having to deal with... anything. Keep him in here and he'll find his way to the armory when i'm not looking.

[ You think he's kidding. Winchesters and guns are like peanut butter and jelly.... give Dean another second while he swaps the kiddo from one hip to another, almost like he's done this once or twice before. It almost even looks like he's doing that bouncing-baby thing. ]

I'd appreciate the advice.

[ well, isn't this curious... ]

If you're not keen to take him down where the factions are constantly squabbling over themselves, you may want to try that dog park instead. The new one they just added to the fleet. Children like dogs, don't they?

[ flying by the seat of her well-tailored pants, here. ]

[ Now if that isn't one of the best damn ideas he's ever heard.... ]

Kid's always had a thing for dogs.

[ ah, righty-o then. ]

Is he yours?

[ your son, she means. ]

[ The question earns an arched brow becuase of course he's his, he's Sa-- Oh.

Duh.

Let's just all witness as the small child smacks him on his cheek before asking to once again be put down on the floor. ]

My brother. Think his augment turned back the clock.

-- I've seen it happen, before. That particular sort of glitch. [ ... ] Never so young, however.

[ peggy clears her throat. it was (by all accounts) an unfortunate assumption. ] What's his name?

[ In all honesty he's not terribly fussed, even if he's fairly sure nobody should ever allow him near most children. But this one he's fairly used to, so he's practically nonchalant. ]

Guess we just got lucky. [ Just like they always do. ] Sam.

[ sam. and with a brother. my, doesn't that sound familiar?

all business: ] How long has he been like this?

Not very long, little less than a day. Wouldn't keep him cooped up in here any longer than that.

-- Also, they've got something of a garden put together on the Iskaulit. I can't speak to its suitability for children. Dogs, flowers, and maybe a twirl in one of the shuttles wouldn't do him any harm if you've got the pilot augment.

Security. [ Thus: the extra concern for the armory. Little grubby fingers might totally be pulling at his hair now, lord above Sammy, why are you the handsiest of children. ] Otherwise i'd take him for a spin.

But keeping up with him in the garden could be worth it. Long as he doesn't try to eat anything. [ .... well okay, Dean might be rethinking that idea. ]

...Is that much of a risk, with him? [ good god this poor child. ]

[ Dean would say he doesn't remember much of what baby Sam did as a child, but that would be the hugest of lies. ]

Think this is the age where everything was worth eating.

I wouldn't know. I haven't had much...experience with children.

Once experience i've had is with him.

A younger brother from the get-go, then?

Just usually not this much younger. We already did the toddler thing once in our lives [ He's trying so hard not to say that he practically raised this kid, but.... he practically raised this kid. ]

Fortunate for him, then, that you're willing to cope with a second time.

Guess I like him enough not to let him wander into the wilderness. Never to be seen again.

What wilderness? [ ... ] Unless you mean to say you've been down on the planet with him.

[ good god. ]
