Aeryn didn't have to go in to work for a few hours yet, but her relaxing morning ended about the time Talyn tried to pull himself up using the sofa and grabbed onto the pillow instead. He didn't even hit anything when he fell, but the fact that he fell at all seemed to be enough to upset him.

He didn't cry for long, especially not with Aeryn telling him simply, "You're not even hurt," but when he stopped he just decided to stay in a bad mood, fussing and dropping things to the ground whenever he could reach something.

Aeryn couldn't do much but sigh at him, muttering, "Of course you have to have an attitude about this sort of thing."

"Having some trouble?" John asked, fresh from a shower and feeling like he could face the day now.

"Aww, he's having a pissy day," John said, snickering at his son. "What happened?"

"He bruised something," John said, taking a seat on the sofa. "His ego. Poor little man."

"Daddy falls sometimes and I know how to walk," John said, making faces. "Walking is a tough thing sometimes. So much coordination involved!"

"You cried at Bambi!" John accused even if it wasn't true. "You're not that tough."

"Do you think Talyn would like Disney movies?" he wondered. "Or not enough explosions?"

"No wonder some of the cartoons bore him so much," John said, making a face at Talyn. "He wants things to go boom."

"More of this, probably," John said, scooting lower on the sofa. "Maybe do some studying."

That answer had to wait till John stopped laughing. Poor pissy Talyn.

"Oh, just watching him pout and relaxing some," he said. "I might take him to the park or something later."

"Do you need me to do anything for you?" he asked, looking over at her. "Pick something up for dinner? Clean? Get him a haircut?"

"C'mere," he said, getting up and wrapping an arm around Aeryn to keep Talyn between them. "What's the matter, baby boy? Not a good day, is it? We could dance?"

"Let me see him," he said, reaching for Talyn even as he leaned closer to Aeryn to kiss her cheek. "We'll do some dancing."

"No problem," he said, taking Talyn and bouncing him even as he started swaying. "I'll see what I can do about his mood. Go get ready."

"No problem," he said again, sliding a hand around the back of Talyn's head to hold him close even as he started to sing quietly, off key and with the wrong lyrics. Didn't matter, he was trying.
