Nisa was standing in the lobby of the lodge, looking over a pamphlet that listed the seemingly endless activities that were available that weekend. Standing there as she looked over all of her choices, she said to no one in particular “Skiing, snowboarding, ziplining, kayaking, roller coaster, snowball fight… How do you even choose what you want to do?… I mean, I’m not really much of a skier or snowboarder, so I guess that’s out… And ziplining seems a little..terrifying..” Looking over at the person who happened to be standing next to her, she said “What would you choose to do first?”

laughing warmly, caden shrugs their shoulders. don’t get them wrong, they’re not the kind to refuse an adventure or challenge. alas they still had their club management to tend to and reporting a broken bone for their carelessness did not seem like a good way to impress their boss. caden could get carried away. they might look intimidating with their built, but everyone and their grandparents knew they were a child at heart. that affability was what made them so approachable even when some judged wrong upon their first glance. “i think i’d break the zipline if i gave that one a chance, sadly.” they looked around to weight their choices. they could settle with just sitting there with a smoke but it would be a bit of a waste. not many people put this much effort for pride lately and caden wanted to indulge it. “how’s a snowball fight sound? i know i’m about ten times your size but i could go easy on you.” they joked, then slapped their chest. “or i could be your comrade. trust me, you’d fight every round with me by your side.”

She should’ve prepared herself for this, really  — the instant exuberance of children the second their eyes made contact with these chiming machines and prized toys swinging as if they were pendulums, longing to be seized. Arduous as her oldest son could be, he was still a seven-year old and could barely deny the appeal of competition ( wonder where he got all of that from ) and his much younger sister in-tow? Was just as innocuous as one could be, if not even more eager. It was meant to be reposeful outing, whilst the twins rested and were currently in the care of her wife, but the spiked amount of energy as soon as they entered the arcade was something that the once-rigid blonde still needed to get accustomed to. Not as if she despised it, by any means — not all, there wouldn’t have been that petite but tender smile on her lips if she did, getting pulled around aside and almost incapable to catch up entirely. It was a pleasing sight to see them this invigorated, but one could take so much dragging around before they had to stop to take a quick breather. “Okay, soldier. Momma needs to sit down for a bit — you go get some more coins and sweets for you and your sister. No fightin’, and don’t wander anywhere where I can’t see you.” Well, technically that was just her right side, but damaged vision aside, she was at least alert enough to be able to notice if something were to go amiss. The ruffled half-pint scrunched his nose, but then obeyed as he took the cash, venturing to the snack counter with his hand on his petite and wiggling sister’s back. Heather found a seat on one of the fighting machines, a coarse heave echoed through her chest, murmuring to no one in particular. “Got pulled around for almost an hour, non-stop — those kids,” she inhaled this time. “They grow up too fast.” 

“dang, kiddo. anyone ever told you you sound way more rickety than you look when you talk like that?” caden teases with a chuckle while shouldering through a large number of crowd. the large giant likes it here, it brings out the inner child in them and it’s not a shabby place to slacken when you’re fond of watching children with their parents. their high spirits refurbish theirs and it’s no longer a secret they have a soft spot for domesticity. they’re comfortable in their flannel jacket as they take two steps forward toward their friend, smiling big when they catch the view or rather the ducklings which she had brought. it’s been awhile since caden last thought of having their own, but they’re comfortable with where they’re at currently. a solid job and stable finance, they could always consider kids whenever they feel prepared enough for the responsibility. grinning, they sat next to heather. “yeah, feels just like yesterday when i saw you truttin’ around with your watermelon belly. how long has it been now? they say their first words just yet?” caden questions curiously. heather has always been a good friend of theirs and it’s nice to see her no longer getting shoved to risk her life on the ring. it seems like the two of them have found a much more congenial path these days.
