Rikive jumped when she heard the crying of a child...from upstairs? She frowned, eyes roaming over the children laying down for nap time. They were all present. The only person upstairs was Parael. She hesitated for a moment before getting up and heading for the stairs to see what was wrong. Most of the children were sleeping so they should be fine.

"Parael?" She called out as she walked toward the wailing child. Which again seemed to be coming from Parael's bedroom. "Parael, does thou need my help?" She asked entering into the room. Her pale green landed on the crying baby and panic swept through her seeing him holding the sword. "Again with the bloody sword?" She asked in exasperation.

"Parael! Where art thou? Come put away thy damned sword!" She yelled out for the man crouching before the upset babe. She made a face smelling piss as she gently pried the babies pudgy fingers from the hilt. "There." She sighed, kicking the blade away with her foot while inspecting the toddler for injury. 

As she inspected the baby she realized he was draped in the clothing Parael had been wearing. "What in the Nine Worlds?" She muttered. "Parael!" She yelled again, looking around for any sign of him being somewhere in this mess of a room. When he did not respond she turned to look down at the baby.

There was no way...

Rikive leaned down slightly to look into the babe's eyes. "Parael?" She asked softly with a frown.
