[OPEN] then baby, i'd be rich.

Gideon just chuckled, shaking his head. "I don't think throwing water on me would be very attractive, huh?" He teased, folding his arms across his chest. He reached up, brushing his hair out of his eyes.

Illy froze, obviously afraid he would hurt her. "You don't understand.. It's my job.. I'm supposed to take care of them.." She said quietly, looking up at him. "I.. I'm scared of wolves.. Please don't hurt me.." She mumbled, gently tugging on her wrist. "I don't wanna get in trouble.. My dad's going to come looking for me.."

"I dunno, would it?" She challenged with a faint smirk. "I like a guy who can swim." She stuck her tongue out.

Mitchel sighed, grip loosening. "I'm not gonna hurt you.. Wren would have my ass handed to me for it.. You don't have to do every little things they tell you to if they can do it though."

[gillian 'illy' cossette hart]

"Well, I hope I can swim. I'm half fish." He said with a roll of he eyes, obviously temporarily forgetting that he had called his sister to clear the table. He raised an eyebrow at her. "We have a pool in the back yard."

"Maybe that's not how it works at your house, but that's the mom's job. And we don't have a mom here.. So that means it's my job.." She said quietly, running her hand up and down her arm. She walked back to his closet to fold his clothes, chewing on her lip. "I can't help it.. I don't like doing it, but I don't have a choice."

[wrenton fiona carson]

Wren smirked in challenge. "Do you?" She teased, wrinkling her nose playfully. She shifted her weight, crossing her left leg over her right, elbows resting on the counter.

Mitchel shook his head. "You do have a choice, you're not a little kid. If you don't like that, let them know it. Grow a pair and stand up for yourself hm?" He smiled just slightly, then walked out, clearing the table amd putting the dishes where they needed to be before going back.

[gillian 'illy' cossette hart]

"We do. But you see. One of us turns a different species when we hit the water, and it isn't you." He said coolly, looking up as Mitch started to clear the dishes. "When did you turn into a woman?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

Illy just continued to pack his clothes for him, zipping it up and sitting it by the door when it was packed. She grabbed the smaller bag and packed it to the bathroom to fill it with his bathroom things. She looked up in the mirror, fixing her ponytail a bit. She knew if her father saw her do it, he would be mad. She should only look pretty for her husband.

[wrenton fiona carson]

Wren smirked. "Yeah, I noticed. Same goes for full moons." She glanced up as he brother passed.

"When did you get your balls chopped and lose respect for a woman?" He shot back emotionlessly, raising am eyebrow in question.

Wren shook her head, watching him go.

He leaned up against the wall in the hallway. "You should be so afraid of expressing yourself.."

[gillian 'illy' cossette hart]

"Oh, pardon me if I don't do a woman's job." Gideon said, raising his eyebrow. He got up and pulled his shirt up over his head. He tossed it to the couch before he nodded to the back door, walking down the hall.

"Don't forget your towel.." Illy called after him, and he walked back in, grabbing a towel from the cabinet. He tugged her ponytail playfully before he walked back out. "I'm sorry.. My dad's just old fashioned, I guess.." She mumbled.

[wrenton fiona carson]

Wren stood, pushing the stool in and following quietly. She nudged Mitch as she passed, telling him to be nice, then headed outside.

Mitchel huffed, ruffling Wren's hair, watching her go with a shake of his head. He looked back at Gillian. "And yet you're an underwear model," He teased, lips quirking up the slightest bit.

[gillian 'illy' cossette hart]

Gideon slipped out of his trunks and into the pool in the blink of an eye, his legs slowly fusing together and growing bright green scales like his sister's. He splashed his fin at her, daring her to come in the water. He smirked, looking up at the fruit trees surrounding the pool.

"It's not like I fit in there either.." She said, packing his spare toothbrush and toothpaste into the bag. "I don't like my job. At all. But it helps my dad pay the bills." She stuck his spare razor in there, brushing her hair out of her face again.

[wrenton fiona carson]

Wren chuckled, cocking her head to the side. "Not to shabby," She teased, slowly pulling her shirt over her head, teasing him.

Mitch nodded, stretched a bit. "Makes sense, I guess. One reason that Wren does it, too.. Though I could probably support us both on my own." He shrugged.
