[CON] you better watch your fucking neck.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor scoffed. "I didn't t-take him," He muttered breathlessly. He watched her nudge her dog close, and reaching a shaking hand to pet it gently before curling up with a shiver amd closing his eyesagain. The exhaustion came from his lack of eating, but he could handle tired, was used to it. He felt sick though, helpless. And it bothered him.

Perseus watched Connor, bothered by him being so sluggish. Bandit pulled herself up onto the bed, picking up her pacifier and sticking it in her mouth. She quickly climbed back down, fishing under the bed for a book to look at. "You okay?" He asked quietly, folding his hands together in his lap. "I can take care of you if you wanna stay here.."

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor lifted his head hazily and swallowed. "Ok!kay..." He agreed in q sleepy slur. It was better than being alone. He had probably asked for this, what with how he had starved himself up to this point. Blue eyes closed again, and he tried squirming his way under the blankets.

[perseus james rudman]

Perseus leaned over, gently pulling the blankets up over him. He tucked him in like he did Bandit before he laid down next to the bed. He could barely take care of himself, let alone someone who was so sick. He closed his eyes, listening to Bandit singing softly.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor curled up tight, wings peeking from beneath the blankets. He closed his eyes, listening to the little girl. He began to drift to sleep again, his lips parted with his unsteady, faint breaths. It wasn't clear to him how long he was asleep before he coughed softly and groaned, stretching.

[perseus james rudman]

Perseus had just taken Bandit out of the bath and was drying her off when Connor started stretching. "Come in!" He called as there was a knock on the door. He closed the other side of her diaper, wincing as a book hit him in the back of the head.

"You don't dress little girls in the same room as boys. And you know nothing about fish." Deacon said, sitting down beside him.

"Pretty sure your friend over there's into coroners, not their little babies." Perseus retorted, pulling on Bandit's night gown.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor peered at Deacon as he walked in, scowling at Perseus at the comment. He coughed again, gagging softly and sitting up with a groan, rubbing at his stomach. He stretched his wings, the things looking huge in comparison to his near emaciated body.

[perseus james rudman]

Perseus flashed him a charming smile, swatting at his brother when he reached over to hit him. "Can you stop flirting with everything?!" Deacon complained.

"No! You threaten to kill everyone I even get close to so can it!"

"I want another baby."

Perseus drew his eyebrows together, shaking his head. "You didn't like the woman you had. How are you gonna woo another one? No one wants you, freak."

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor stuck his tongue out, then smiled at Bandit. He felt a little better with the morphine at least numbing his pain. It didn't solve everything though, and he didn't dare try and get up off of the bed. Blue eyes flickered weakly between the two brothers, trying to keep up with their bantering.

[perseus james rudman]

Bandit smiled over at him, climbing up on the bed to sit by him with her book. "Unka PJ, wook!" She said and he looked back, smiling at them.

"You two are adorable. You got your kid calling me PJ, Deac." He complained, and Deacon shrugged.

"So? That's your name. Stop complaining."

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor smiled at her, hesitant with Deacon there though, worried he would be mad. Connor reached absently to play with her little wings. "What're y-you reading?" He murmured, clearing his throat huskily. He shifted his weight, tucking his wings close to himself again.

[perseus james rudman]

Bandit shrugged, turning the page to show him a Greek monster. "'Bout unka PJ." She said, pointing to the man on the next page. "Was say?" She asked, closing the book and nudging it towards him. She looked up at him with bright blue eyes before she reached back to touch his wings.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor smirked at that, amused. But when she slid the book his way he hesitated. His wings eased up at the touch over them. He took the book and read the title, opening it up. He pointed at the picture she had insisted was Perseus, and began to read about who he was, doing his best to try and mask his stutter. It was bothersome and he felt like a fool.

[perseus james rudman]

Bandit listened intently as he read, slowly running her small hand through his wing. She was content to sit there and suck on her pacifier and listen to him read. "Unka PJ!" She complained, sliding off the bed to flop in his lap. "Why kill lady?"

"Because she reminded me of your dad." He said promptly, and received a smack in the head for it.

[connor crayze sykes]

Connor watched her slide off the bed, laughing at Perseus' comment. The action caused him to start coughing and he whimpered in pain, gripping at his stomach. Biting his lip, he quieted and looked back down at the book, uncertain in butting in on the little family there. Not again.
