[Well. That wasn't a reaction that he had been expecting, least of all in the middle of the streets. He drew his knees up as he had when they had first met and tightened his arms around his daughter to hold her close as she wailed and made a scene. He bowed his head to rest his chin on the top of Jinx's head, giving her time to cry herself out before he risked wanting to move them both.
After a few minutes, he began to rearrange her in his arms, pulling her close and curling an arm under her knees while the other remained fastened around her shoulders. Through sheer force of will, he rolled himself to his feet and added a second kiss to the top of her head as he turned and began to walk them both home. This was the type of meltdown best completed at home, and he wanted to make certain that his daughter wasn't injured.
The temperature was too cold for her to be out in such a state of dress as well. No, he would take care of her, and already he knew that rats nest of her hair would be hours of work.]
Let's get you home, Jinx. I'll prepare a bath for you too.
