How Green Becomes Wood

"I should be available, I do not know why I would not be," Dark replied, beating the paint out of his brush using a towel on his lap as he glanced up at the clock, "Banishment? I was unaware I had been banished."
 
"That is a very important reason to call me back," Dark said, setting his paintbrush back in its place, carefully setting his mermaid down on a stand so it would not be smudged, and putting away his glasses, "Today has not been your sister's best day. I am not sure if she is teething or having a growth spurt, but she has been... sensitive today." To say the least of it.
 
"Teething, growth spurt, or testing the boundaries of her relatively recent newfound freedom of being able to toddle off wherever she pleases," Alec grinned. "Or some combination thereof. Whatever it is, Mama says it's your turn." He stepped out of the shed and waited for Dark. "We went to Build-A-Bear. I've never done one before."
 
"Or struggling to adjust to Daizi not being home all the time, or all of the above," Dark sighed, pushing his hair back as they walked to the house, "I do not believe I have ever been to Build-a-Bear. Was it nice?"
 
"It was choice overload, but it was awesome!" Alec said happily, walking with Dark. "I got the sweetest Dr. Suess bear, and Claire got a blueberry-themed highland cow."

"As much as I enjoy Dr. Suess, that is a strange book to give to a non-native speaker, in my opinion," Alec mused, following him in. "I can show you! I'll go get him." He scampered away happily to fetch the bear.
 
"There were many words which Cooger had to tell me were fabricated and meaningless," Dark said, recalling some embarrassing moments as he walked towards the kitchen, "I would be very interested in seeing your bear."

"Goose," Daizi called from the kitchen.

"I am coming," He assured her, hurrying up a bit.
