Sal: Sister! [pouted a bit]

Vincent; 8narrowed his eyes8

Vihto: Well look at u getting all set up for a nice big happy family. I'm impressed [tho couldn't tell whether she was being sarcastic or not]

Vincent; 8his eye twitched in irritation8

Vihto: Where did u find her?

Vincent; 8explained to her8

Vihto: I see. U knw, u should've reported her to us immediately n let the state handle her before ur allowed to adopt

Vincent; 8narrowed his eyes8

Vihto: I'm just saying there protocols these days. I'm just doing my job

Sal: Ur job ain't shit! Ur not taking my baby Rascal away! [the last phrase seemed to hv triggered a response n Sal was quoting his biological mother again]

Vihto: Ex-Excuse me?

Sal: U ain't taking my baby Rascal! I'll kill u if u touch a hair out of him! I swear to Goliath! [another phrase frm his mother again]

Vincent; ~Oh great~

Vihto: Is this wat u teach to a disabled child, Mr Malloy? Foul languages? Why, I never...

Sal: [snatched Pearl frm Vihto's hand n ran to his room, locking it]

Vincent; Sal 8rapped the door8

[no reply frm his end]

Vihto: I see how this is [packed her things] U'll be hearing frm me soon enough. Clearly I made a mistake [left with a huff]

Vincent; 8flipped her off as she left then turned back to Sal's room8

[Pearl was starting to cry of hunger]

Vincent; Sal please open the door, she's gone now

[it took a while, bt Sal finally opened the door, carrying the crying Pearl out]

Sal: [passed Pearl to Vincent] Hungry

Vincent; 8gently took her, cooing gently her as he brought her to the kitchen8

Sal: [followed behind him quietly]

Vincent; 8fixed up a bottle n fed her8

Sal: [sat quietly for a while, watching Vincent feed before lowering his head, mumbling] Sorry, mutti...

Vincent; It's not your fault sweetie but next time think  before you speak

Sal: [looked at him blankly, not sure he understood, since he was acting thru instinct, thru triggers]

Vincent; 8soon finished feeding Pearl8

Sal: [had a look on his face wondering if the family is going to be in trouble]

Vincent; 8sat next to him8

Sal: [not reli good at expressing his feelings due to his condition, bt he definitely look like he was going to cry]

Vincent; 8held him close8

Sal: [held onto Vincent tight, his action as if telling him he was reli sorry]

Vincent; 8nuzzles him8
