‘Try
this way Maci,”
“NO!”
the four year old shouted, as he batted the stuff away from him. Corvi sighed
and put the child in a chair so that he could reach the table, the child
screamed a blood curling scream and jumped down and ran out of the room and
down the halls to Blastus’s office seeing that he was
in there, the child shot in, and climbed into his lap but sat on his knees, not
even saying anything. Blastus tried to put him down
“No
no no no! Blastie
not down” Blastus just nodded and let the child sit there. He didn’t know what
to think.
“Maci, Are you alright?”
“Don’t
make me get down! I stay here I stay here.” The child buried himself into the
Gummi’s shirt and started to cry, Blastus started rubbing this child’s
back letting him do what he needed to. Plucki poked his head in,
“I
heard screaming and thought I should see what’s going on.”
“Not
sure Capitaine but I’ll inform you when I know.”
Plucki nodded and headed off. Blastus held the child a bit longer. Then tried to sit him a little differently on his lap. The
cub shrieked again.
“Your
knee was just digging into mine,” He told the kid who was sobbing harder. Not
trying to press the issue any longer Blastus let the child sit that way some
more.
“Se
calme petit celui”
He said rubbing his back, and
getting the idea to stand and walk with him. Blastus just started pacing back
and forth. He did this for some time, hearing the child calm down he stried to speak, but when he got no answer looked into the
kid’s face he had fallen asleep. Blastus had to smile, but his face showed
worry. After laying the child down in the bedroom, he headed out to Plucki,
“There
is something wrong, Capitaine. With Maci I’m telling you.”
“He’s
probably fine.”
“I
think not sir, he screamed when I set him in a chair to help him out,”
“Corvi?”
“Its
true, he just jumped up screaming and ran.”
“With
permission I would like to keep a better eye on the Petit
celui and see what the trouble is.” Plucki just
nodded and said to go do as he wanted. Just as he was leaving, he heard,
“Blastie!”
“What
is it Maci?” The child just lifted his arms and
didn’t say anything. Blastus just picked the child up and sat with him.
“Tell
me what’s going on, why were you upset?” The child just huddled into the Knight’s
shirt again. Then started to play with the cloth.
“Its
alright you don’t have to say anything.” He told the child as he held him
tight.
