[ACTION FOR YORK]
[It really doesn’t take much to wake up Carolina, even on a bad day, and hearing someone moving around the room makes her stir awake. It could be York, but the sounds are too soft, too small, and she keeps her eyes closed as she listens. With as little movement as possible, she pinches the back of one of York’s hands, before]

Daddy? Daddy, I had a bad dream.

[.York wakes up at the pinch, but he’s still blinking groggily when he hears the little girl’s voice. Is he still asleep? Well, the only thing for it is to sit up and turn on the lamp near his bed. When he does, though, and he sees his little Princess in her fancy nightgown, he sits up and smiles at her brilliantly and holds out his arms for a hug.]

Hey, don’t worry, Laura. Daddy’s here. C’mere.

[Carolina sits up more fully to kind of just stare at them for a few seconds; she’s pretty sure she missed something.]

Daddy.

[But just as soon as she muscles out the word, there’s a small hand tugging on her arm, definitely not belonging to Laura. Surprise! There’s a tiny ginger babby boy standing there.]

Mommy.

[York gathers Laura up in a tight hug for a few moments before beginning the all-important explanation.]

Right. So. We have kids here in the castle, get to see them about once a year. Laura here is my little girl--I’ve seen her for what, four years in a row now? [Laura nods.] Which makes her five or six, I think. And you, little man?

[Because damn if that doesn’t look like a little version of Carolina and himself.]

Two, Daddy. [And Jack holds up two tiny fingers. Carolina glances over at York again, really not sure of what to even do at the moment. What do. The little boy makes some grabby hands toward Carolina, very clearly wanting to join the rest of his family up on the bed. ...okay, so she’ll reach down for him, but kind of hold him at arm’s length at first. However, gut instinct tells her,] Jack. His name is Jack.

[Keeping one arm around Laura, York reaches out with his other to have his whole little family in one big hug.]

Jack, York, Carolina, Laura. So! Who wants pancakes?

[Filtered to friends of York and Carolina (read: not South lmfao)]

All right, I know now all of you are probably aware of this, but it’s that time of year when we have kids here at the castle. I’ve got my little girl Laura, and me and Carolina have a little boy, Jack, too. Anyone else have kids?

We’d handle them better in groups. Strength in numbers.
