Heir Apparent (Finn & Alicio)

[phantasmalunar]

"Of course milord," Alicio said with a kind smiled and proceeded to fix the boy's meal. "But, even children must be compromised with."

[ode]

His frown grew harsher. "I fail to see that, Mr. Wynfield. I wouldn't tell hi to do anything that was bad for him, he should respect me enough to do as I say..." He paused and watched as the kid devoured the meal before him. Cinnamon and apples were not an unhealthy sweetener. "Well, perhaps I am mistaken. Carry on."

Luca clapped his hands.

[phantasmalunar]

Alicio stared at Finn a while he criticized him before smiling sweetly to him then to the child. "Respect should be a mutual thing, I think, or else it's fear." He picked up a napking and wiped Luca's face.

[ode]

"He's a child," Finn stated.

Luca smiled up at Alicio. "Me have apples now? Luca still hunwy."

[phantasmalunar]

Alicio started to cut up and apple and leaned toward the boy to feed him. "Say Ah."

To Finn, he said, "Sweet little things like this shouldn't have to know fear from those they love. And I'm sure he loves you, you're family after all." He patted the boy's head gently and gave Finn a gracious smile, like an angel's.

[ode]

Finn had to smile when he saw the man's smile - but was abruptly cut off when his nephew glared at him. "I sincerely doubt that little one favors me at all. I fear getting close to him lest he bite at me like last time."

[phantasmalunar]

"Children are sensitive. If you seem like you're going to bite, they'll bite first," Alicio said and began eating himself.

[ode]

Finn had to blink at the male. The stern governess persona was sort of doing it for him - Immediately he tried to shake such thoughts from his head and focus on other things.

[phantasmalunar]

Alicio ate in small slow bite, a light smile on his face as he chewed, large hazel eyes drifting to his small charge every so often to see how he was doing then looking around the rest of the table

[ode]

Finn caught the man's eyes. "What are your plans for Luca today?"

[phantasmalunar]

"Oh, I was going to ask him what he wanted to do. I wanted to see what he usually does and what he's interested in before beginning to plan the day myself," Alicio responded.

[ode]

"He's two," Finn stated. "He does what other people tell him to."

[phantasmalunar]

'Well, I'm sure he has an opinion on something," Alicio said and turned to Luca. "Luca, dear, is there anything you'd like to do today?"

[ode]

"Animals,"luca said with a regal nod.

[phantasmalunar]

"A zoo?" Alicio asked then turned to Finn. "Is there a zoo close by. I'm afraid I'm not yet too familiar with the surrounding area."
