Lil' Bryson got another splinter.

" Eh? " A letter is abandoned mid-stroke, a chalk-dusted fingers pulling away from the board where she'd been sketching out ideas for the next lessons she had in mind, turning to look at the pair of of them: a husband looking quietly sympathetic through a wane, apologetic smile, and their slightly flustered son at his side: his right hand loosely cradling the left, which was held out in front of him, palm up and fingers splayed.

Bryson's hands and arms were only ever really clean just before a meal or in the moments just before bedtime, as at any other time of day they touted the proofs of his many labors: a bit of dust, dirt, and the little nicks, scrapes, and bruises of an industrious little man; but it's still clear as day in the moment where his newest souvenir was lodged, the bright-red patch and swelling acting as the functional 'x,' marking the spot.

" Oh Bry, that's the third time in a week! Come here, you. " Anette 'chides,' gentle admonishment paired with an exasperated smile of her own, beckoning him over with a quirk of her head as she quickly rags off the dust from her digits: crossing to stand by the window, so she can survey the little hand which soon finds it's way to rest in hers in the best light. " Whatever happened to those nice work gloves we just got you? "

Bryson sniffs, and almost pouts for a moment, but mostly just shrugs: " ...I forgot them. " A response which sees both parents stifle broader smiles, and swallow a chuckle. Too excited to jump straight into whatever thought had stolen him away; it was the same impulse which often saw one of his boots untied as he rushed out the door or a vest shrugged on with its seams facing out.

" Well, we'll just have to work on that then, huh? We can make up a little checklist to go through... your dad will tell you that I had to do that a lot, too, when I was running the mail. " Keys, coinpurse, canteen. Alliteration certainly did favors, there. " I know what it's like to want to throw yourself straight into stuff, waste no time—but it's not wasting time to make sure you're safe, or to be careful. "

In fact, he'd probably realize soon how much time it saved, since it would mean less moments spent on hiatus, wincing while his mom carefully pressed on tender skin to draw it taught, eventually revealing the head of the slender offender where it'd slipped in between the layers. His face scrunched a little more as she tweezed it out, but he didn't (wouldn't) cry; too stubborn by half, and growing too familiar with the feeling in the other. With the worst of it settled, though, the sharp pain subsides, and the emotional side is further assuaged by the barely-there, tiny kiss she places on his palm.

" Let's wash up, make sure it's all clean and good, then maybe you can help me out for a little bit—I need someone with a big brain to bounce ideas off of... then you and Dad can tell me all about what you're working on and what big plans you have over dinner, mmkay? "

plausible offspring :: open

send a ship for a resulting child

@mielmoto / @anctte sent (and is correct): y’know what? I'll go 3/3. Anette & Ragu. (who I imagine would probably have several if we're being honest)

Name: Bryson Glen

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Cherubic sort of face, with wild blonde hair that anyone can see he gets from his mom's side. Blue eyes and an ever present and confident grin.

Personality: It's almost like he saw what his parents did and wanted to 1-up them. Do more. Find more. He struggles understanding some topics and has this sort of seesaw brow furrow- but tenacity tends to win out.

Special Talents: They both know its sign of what's to come when baby bry starts turning screws with lil fingers and pushing in boards around the farm. And eventually the words come- "Momma I'm gonna build you a new schoolhouse!!"

Who they like better: Complete split, big happy family. Consider instead that he gets more attached to a younger sibling and focuses on being a role model.

Who they take after more: It's anyone's guess with personality being as kind as it is. Physically? Leans Anette.

Personal Head canon: Has a larger affinity to water magic as a result of his Earthmate lineage, and likes to use hammers. There's someone he met once as a child who he really thought was the coolest.

Face Claim: S.hiloh from L.egend of M.ana

plap. he was thiiiiis close, before finding his lips blocked by her hand.

" nuh-uh. no more. you're suspended. " ...she's still pouting because SOMEONE had the gall to make fun of her.

[anctte]

Twist, click—we do love a versatile tool in this household, and there's an appropriately brief, but delighted 'ooOooh' when the beam focuses, and she trots around to watch by his shoulder, following the careful shwoop, line; line—

...she's blushing.

( he got her good with that one! props where they're due! )

"Yeah, y'know what? I think you might have something special, there." Something corny, jeeeeez–guess she'll just have to give him a little smooch on the cheek about it.

"Write something? How about..." Raguna fiddles with the nozzle. Twisty twist. Now it shoots in a point! So... now when he weaves it along the ground it makes a much cleaner line.

A wave here. A turn there.

Done.

A perfect heart.

"Yep. I think that may be my best work yet."

[anctte]

Anette is also one I’ve never had requested before now. She is pretty cute, though!

[anctte]

GASP!! The beautiful perfect path of pressure-polished pavement, broken so!... ah, but the funny little zig zags the stream makes as it wobbles and bobbles are very good in their own way... " Ooh! oh! You should write something! or draw a little face! "

Oh? Hmm... Raguna starts flicking the nozzle tip around, fishing for more reactions. It's really cute the way Anette's acting!!

[anctte]

watching every line, completely entranced.

FWSSSSSSSSSSSSH

No. He's not frying chicken.

He's pressure washing.

[anctte]

my headcanon of anette is pretty chill about her body, if sometimes a little sensitive about how small she is (just in terms of defending herself), but otherwise very comfortable. not overly demure or worried, doesn’t think much of showing more or less skin— only what’s most practical and comfy for the purpose.

which is super validated by the fact that she like... apologizes to YOU (the player) when it’s implied you might have walked in at an  ‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ indecent ☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙ moment on the beach. like, ‘sorry if that made you uncomfortable—’ zero skin off her back.

like, there may be a little bit of a self-esteem snag here if you squint but. what a queen.

…And Raguna himself is quizzical based on the lift of his brows, his squished face adding a humorous tint to his confusion. Hopeful for a little bit of affection? Perhaps, but the slight pucker that had been prepared falters when Anette does speak.

“Oh.” Well, gazing is gazing. “Is it a good image? I’ve never really thought about it. But then, I barely have a moustache growing in so far.” A hand of his own goes up to his chin, scratching under the jaw as if searching for budding hairs. Alas, nothing. For now at least he’s remaining baby-faced.

A good image? Well... Anette tips her head to one side, a little, still assessing her answer. Of course, it isn’t long before a smile cracked her scrutiny along with a small dose of laughter. “I don’t know— I mean, it’s definitely not bad, but... ” her hold slips to lay along his jaw, his neck, instead, so nothing obstructs the view in question.

“ –I like seeing your whole face, as is. ” there may well be an element of confirmation bias to it all: beard-less was how she’d always known him, so it was familiar. If she thought of him when they weren’t together, this was what she pictured... and she happened to hold that image in very high esteem. “ Of course, if you ever do find yourself sprouting one later on and want to give it a shot, I’d support you all the way. I’m sure I’d end up liking it just as much, after a while. ” even if it would make stealing kisses here-and-there a more scratchy experience. She would just have to endure it, should that day ever come. 

“ ...slightly less so for the ‘mustache-only’ option. keeping that tamed is probably for the best. ” his peach fuzz was adorable, but a lone-mustache look was one very, very few men could pull off.

@dcviated​ (raguna) | based on this

She puts her hand on his cheek but... it's not really much of a 'caress' is it? even as the other joins shortly, holding the other side of his face, looking quizzical, before both thumbs slide to rest above his upper lip... hmm. 

“ ...I’m trying to imagine what you’d look like with a beard. ” no doubt inspired by the delivery she made this morning— the mystery of how Kanno kept his to such a fine point lingering in her head all day.

Shes precious and Raguna supports her. But if they go running together one day she will have concerns. Hes slow and has bad form (outside of heroic emergency) (and even then)

she thought it’d be a cute way to spend time together one day: showing him the full extent of her route from start-to-finish, but she just keeps. pulling ahead. and eventually she turns back to look at him like—

oh you sweet summer child.
