At last the jerky issue was resolved and Damien broke off a hunk to give to Greg. The kid was lucky to be able to eat it when he was so young. Baby food that included meat was disguisting. It always was some weird flesh color, smelled like bad cat food, and never tasted anything like the protein it was suppose to. Granted with spices on it the jerky wasn't the most beef flavored, and at times things like turkey jerky would have no flavor at all if it weren't for the added seasonings. With how Damien devoured any meat source that came his way he'd become a conosure of jerky. Oberto's wasn't anything fancy, nobody would call it the finest quality, but for a commercially available jerky it was pretty good. It was softer than others. Another bit was given to Greg and then an equal size tucked into Damien's mouth.

Greg's dad was talking about fire again. Did he have to keep reminding Damien about the inevitability of facing his fear? There had to be some way out of having to be near the fire. Maybe he could get lost in the woods for awhile at night. It wouldn't be hard to do, and if asked Damien could say that he hadn't meant to get so lost. His history of directional confusion would provide him with a great alibi. Damien was aware that the way he was looking to avoid the fire, or even admitting to his fear of fire, was starting to resemble a person trying to get away with a crime. It was just... Rahne seemed so pleased with him and the progress that he had made. It had been years since he'd done anything praise worthy, and in recent history he was pretty sure his parents had grown tired of him. They certainly had grown weary of his behavior. Rahne on the other hand was happy with what Damien was capable of, with what he did. He wasn't willing to let that end.

He wasn't sold though that being asked to babysit was for training reasons. Ok, so this wasn't your typical little kid, and yeah, they were in the woods, but this still was a toddler, and they were camping. Watching Greg wasn't going to be like tracking down where he had left his shoes or exploring ancient ruins. For crying out loud Damien still was very much human shaped! This wasn't with his powers, this was keeping him busy while the adults did something else. Damien's head tilted back to look at Mr. Russel as he asked Damien about this "training" excersise. Flimsy as the request was Damien shrugged his shoulder in agreement. The little hip bump and gesture to a thicker patch of forest growth did not go unnoticed and Damien smirked. Attention was turned back to Greg. "And this is how you become a big brother," he joked to the kid, giving Greg's stomach a prod with some of the jerky.

Jack's look was answered with a small, nearly imperceptible nod, and attention was brought to Damien and Greg. Months ago, she would have been mortified at the idea of leaving her son with Damien. The baby was too young, too fragile, too dependent on his mom and dad, there was just no way...

But now? Rahne had learned to trust a bit more in that regard. She had learned that not only was her boy a bit more capable now, but that she and Jack were capable of letting go for a bit, of putting their trust in someone else. Especially Damien. He was small, yes, but he was earnest, he was motivated, and when he wanted or needed to be, very attentive. And definitely better than he gave himself credit for.

"Ye got this, Damien," Rahne said with a small smile. "Greg, ye're nae gonna be a problem now, are ye?"

"Hmmhhhhhmmm," Greg vocalized, his mouth full with his new prize, a smile spread across closed lips as he didn't want to lose any of it.

An eyebrow raised and the left corner of Rahne's mouth quirked upward as Jack bumped her with his hip, and they made their way off to the brush to... find tinder wood. She couldn't help but walk with a slight saunter to her step, tail swaying back and forth with each footfall.

Greg stood by Damien, looking up to the bigger boy, eyes keenly watching, taking in details as his nose twitched and he swallowed the jerky he had chewed up. He spent a few moments gauging him. He knew that the boy spent time with his mother, he knew that she reacted well to him so he wasn't a bad guy. He knew that he had nice treats.

"Uhh," he vocalized sharply, reaching up with both hands and flexing his fingers, stretching up as high as he could manage. Words were still a work in progress for him. He had sounds, and he understood some of what was told to him, but saying words wasn't exactly the easiest thing for him. Either way, he had decided that Damien was good people. A friend.

"So," Rahne said once the two had made a bit of distance from the camping site. "Ye've got somethin' in mind, an' I'm nae one hundred percent convinced 'tis sex, though I'd nae say 'no' to that. Hardly seems 'training' t' just set him up babysittin' for a bit, after all."

[size0]Say the dog and butterfly,
in the air they like to fly.
Dog and butterfly.
She knew she had to try,
and she float back down to the warm soft ground,
laughing - she don't know why,
but she had to try, she had to try.
Dog and Buttefly.
