How Green Becomes Wood

"She thinks she is being ignored," Dark said, kissing Daizi while still holding Ivy's hands to stop her from preventing it again. This clearly frustrated their daughter, but they were not going to allow her to be tsar of their relationship.

"It seems so," Daizi sighed, "I birthed my greatest enemy."
 
Alec wondered if it was a case of feeling ignored, or that thing children did when they saw someone else playing with a toy that they hadn't touched in ages, but suddenly that toy was incredibly important. From his perspective, it looked like the latter, but he wasn't the one reading parenting books, so he kept his thoughts to himself.

Xander grunted. "Careful then, Mama, not to turn your back on her."
 
"I like our zoo," Daizi said, "They have a lot of tactile displays, and the free-flight aviary. It's much more fun for me than the aquarium."

"Would you like to see the animals, Ivy?" Dark asked.
 
"Lion cubs would be cute to see," Xander agreed. "And I bet Ivy will enjoy touching things with you."

"We shall touch all the things! That are allowed to be touched," Alec amended.
 
"We should leave around 10 a.m.," Dark said, thinking about it, "That way we will be there by eleven, and we will have a little time to look at the animals before it is time for lunch."
 
"I think it'll be really nice," Daizi said, reaching over to ruffle Ivy's hair, "And it'll be good to take her somewhere new. I have no idea how she'll react, but we do work on teaching her animals, so I think she'll be excited."

"She absolutely loved the aquarium. There was almost nothing we could do to get her away from the jellyfish," Dark said.
 
Xander drained his glass. "I'm putting money on her favorite thing being the monkeys."

Alec tapped his chin with his fork. "That, or those are going to terrify her. I'm thinking the birds."

"I think the birds are going to freak her out," Xander said.
