Slowly the door to Gritti’s room opened he was still fast asleep at this time,
seeing this Skyla ran into the room and crawled into his bed beside him.
“Gritti, I went into
check on,” The male Barbic told his leader that she could come in but kept his
voice as low as possible so he didn’t wake the one beside him. She nodded.
“Its hard to believe
that while she’s awake she came give even the most calm
one a breakdown. Gritti nodded. As the little girl curled
into him even closer.
“I’ll be out in a
bit, unless you need me, Ursa.” She laughed at the sigh,
the little girl sure had him wrapped around her fingers tightly. And he was loving it
she knew it. A thought passed Ursa’s mind that made her blush, she pushed it
way and headed out to work on what she had to work on. Gritti sat there and
watched Skyla sleep. Scooping
the child into his arm, he laid back down and went back to sleep.
Opening her eyes,
Skyla looked at Gritti and smiled before she sat up and climbed onto his
stomach and laid back down so that her head was on his
chest. She put her fingers back into her mouth only taking part of Gritti’s nightclothes into her small hands and holding it
at the same time. Feeling the movements. Gritti looked
to see what was going on, but didn’t say anything, just wrapped his arms around
the small cub. She was content, he laid like this for
a few more moments before speaking.
“Lets
go get some breakfast.” Sky nodded not taking her thumb out of her mouth, She was in her I need to be held mood for some reason. Skyla
let him down long enough for him to tell her to go get dressed real quick.
Gritti had opened
her door to see if she was ready go down, he had to laugh at her, Skyla was
having a hard time getting dressed. He walked over and started to help her. She
looked up at him and grinned. She was liking the
attention that he gave her. Once she was dressed Skyla reached up asking Gritti
to carry her. He nodded. He didn’t mind the kid’s requests.
“Gribbi,
I want my Drother,” he looked down at her his heart
going to her. Gritti knew that she must by now, from what he had heard he knew
that they were close.
“Just a few more
day, Little girl and you can go back, your Mamma will
be here to get you.” Skyla nodded and laid her head on Gritti’s
shoulder. Gritti tried to sit her on a chair so that she could eat Skyla shook
her head no, so Gritti ended up eating with the child on his lap.
“I see she be glued
to herself to you.” Gritti glared at Ursa and told her that he was going to use
the day to play with Sky. She had to laugh, as she thought back to when she
first became leader, and would drop everything to play with Buddi, it was kind
of funny to see the table’s turned. Inwardly she liked seeing this side of
Gritti.
“You
coming down with something Ursa?” She turned to see Buddi standing
there.
“I’m fine, Buddi
why?”
“Your face was red,
that’s why I asked.” From that comment Ursa’s face turned even redder. As she told Buddi to go play.
