"Oh, is that so?" Jamie responded, a little struck by Raven's words. He couldn't refute them though, at least not to her. As much as the fact that was enough of a mother warmed him, it also made the reality more stark. He never considered them a weird family at all, but other kids....other kids lived by their own logic and their parents'. Could he even do anything about that?

Shaking his head, he cleared away the dark thoughts as Bane ushered the little girl away to wash up and then eat her dinner. "We'll see about that horse!" he called after her with a laugh, clutching at all the drawings that she gave him. Well, he supposed if she wanted him to be mommy, then he could do that with ease. He'd already looked after her so much and just receiving crayon drawings made his heart swell.

Jamie pulled himself off of the couch and went to sit next to Bane although he really wanted to talk to the other man just with the two of them. Little girls were sometimes far too smart, even when distracted by mac and cheese. "I really love you, you know," Jamie sighed, simply leaning over to rest his head on Bane's shoulder. "And I really do wish we could run away from all our problems."
