Reuniting Tornedalians

"But I am so tired," Malika whined. "Please."

----
"Feeling better?" Harrison asked quietly.

----
"Well, I am going next month. So, if you join me or not is your choice."

"Not today sweetheart."
_____

She nodded silently.
_____

"Fine."

Malika stared at her then, upset, but not wanting to fight.

----
"Issy took me to this Italian resteraunt the other night, even the waiters couldn't pronounce the food. I had to teach them, it was amusing."

---
"Okay," Harrison whispered, resting his head on top of hers gently.

"Come. On, let's go and ill get you a surprise this afternoon."
______

She stayed quiet.
______

Belle smiled softly.

"I love it when people work out we know Italian." He laughed. "Issy didn't know until I corrected the waiter either, you should of seen her face."

----
"No thank you, I just want to sleep when I come home." Malika whispered, getting out of bed.

---
"She loved you, you know that." Harrison whispered plenty. "She told you plenty that you were all she dreamed of, she told you plenty that she would always love you - no matter what. This... this is a no matter what situation."

"Issy proba ly knows more languages than anyone." She td him with a smile.
_____

"Alright darling."
______

Faun nodded silently.

"Mm, probably - she didn't know how fluent you and I were in Italian though. It was nice, seeing her surprised face."

----
"And its fine you and her clashed, thats just how it is sometimes. We've never spoken much about my mum, and I was really young when I lost her but she used to joke about hating me because we bashed heads so much." Harrison hummed. "There were photos but when I was fourteen my dad burned them all so I cant show you what she looked like unfortunately. But uh, yeah, just because you two fought doesn't mean you hated each other, y'know? Hate is so close to love."

----
Malika grabbed her teddy and wandered out of the room and to the dining room just as Madoc dished up food.

"Hey you, just in time." Madoc hummed in greeting, frowning when Malika ignored him.

"Someone is very tired this morning."
______

Belle smiled softly.
______

"I wasn't what she wanted Harrison."

"Yeah I can see that." Madoc whispered. "Why is that, Mal?" .

"Doesnt matter," Malika shrugged, beginning to eat when the plate was put in front of her.

----
"What makes you think that?"

----
"Are you and Dmitri okay?"

Aby shrugged slightly.
_____

"Yeah we are good." Belle told him.
_____

"Everything, the fine details, how she told. Me that."

"Your being silly, you always have when it came to all of that. She adored you, thats why you fought so much - she wanted to be involved in every little thing going on in your life and you hate it when people do that, you hate it when I get a bit too involved some times too."

---
"Good. I knew you would end up with him."

----
"Well," Madoc grimaced, passing Abigail her own breakfast. "No talking to Mal morning it is, let's all enjoy breakfast though."

Abigail sat at the table with her breakfast once he handed it to her. "Yes, let's enjoy breakfast."
__________

SHe smiled softly.
________

"I've got better though."

"You have. I wasn't criticising. You just need to know how clear it was to everyone else that she loved you, thats all." Harrison whispered.

---
Madoc sat himself down and dug in quietly.

SHe nodded softly.

Abi started eating with them.

Harrison was silent then

She stayed where she was.

(( Skip a couple of hours, till Malika is back from school and is with Harrison and Faun? ))

((yeah sure, Coul you post first? I'm going to eh driving in a minute))

(( Sure ))

"Someone hasn't had a good day in school," Harrison hummed to Faun as he carried Malka into the den. "I think a hug from grandma will help."

Malika allowed herself to be carried, watching the floor.

"What's up princess?" Faun asked as she got up from the sofa where she had been reading, offering her hands out for the child.

"Tired, up all night making the monsters go away. They forced me to go to school today."

"What monsters darling?" She asked as she held her.

"Spirits." Malika whispered in Arabic then.

"What kind of spirits darling?" She asked in curiosity. "What do. They look like?" She kept in Arabic.

Harrison watched them quietly.

"My father, uncle and brother.. with the injuries that took them. They told me stuff."
