"Hello. May I ask who this is?" Ben said calmly.

by **feathertail** Mon Sep 28, 2015 11:10 pm

"It's Owen. From the orphanage. And I want to know why you've been making my baby girl upset."

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Sep 28, 2015 11:51 pm

Ben frowned. "I hadn't realized that I have been." he said honestly. "She seemed to be settling in fine."

by **feathertail** Mon Sep 28, 2015 11:55 pm

"Huh," came from the other end. "Then you're obviously not good at deducing and perceiving."

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Sep 28, 2015 11:56 pm

"You've figured me out, sir." Ben said, a ghost of a smile on his face. "Is there anything you would like to do to make her life here better?"

by **feathertail** Mon Sep 28, 2015 11:57 pm

"Well you could talk to her, for a start," Owen shrugged. "And a female presence wouldn't go amiss, I think she feels swamped."

"If you're suggesting I get a girlfriend, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Ben said, only slightly teasing.

by **feathertail** Tue Sep 29, 2015 12:10 am

"No, I know you've got your boyfriend that you do all the hanky panky with, but that's not what I mean."

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Sep 29, 2015 12:12 am

Ben pursed his lips to keep from laughing. "Well what would you suggest?" he asked.

by **feathertail** Tue Sep 29, 2015 12:13 am

"Talk to Jo, first and foremost, but then try making sure she isn't the only female in the house."

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Sep 29, 2015 12:25 am

"We have female panthers." Ben said. He felt like the kid had an idea and just didn't want to say it out loud.

by **feathertail** Tue Sep 29, 2015 12:31 am

"Yeah, but they can't exactly talk back, can they?"

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Sep 29, 2015 1:20 am

"Well, what would you suggest? Should I hire her a best friend?" Ben asked, keeping his voice serious. He was joking.

by **feathertail** Tue Sep 29, 2015 2:29 am

Owen huffed out an annoyed breath. "Seriously, man. This is your daughter we're talking about."

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Sep 29, 2015 10:35 pm

Ben smiled. "Of course. You'll have to excuse me. I'm very swamped today. I'm not completely all here at the moment."

by **feathertail** Tue Sep 29, 2015 11:20 pm

There was just a grunt in answer.

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Sep 30, 2015 7:44 am

"You care a lot about her, don't you?" Ben said.

by **feathertail** Wed Sep 30, 2015 8:28 am

"I've looked after her since she was a baby, mister. She and the other kids are my family."

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Sep 30, 2015 3:56 pm

"Well I'm sorry that we're stealing them from you. My partner and I wanted a family ourselves." Ben replied.

by **feathertail** Wed Sep 30, 2015 10:13 pm

"I didn't say that you were stealing, mister. All I every wanted was for her to get s family and be happy with them."

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Sep 30, 2015 11:41 pm

"My apologies, I have seemed to upset you." Ben said.

by **feathertail** Thu Oct 01, 2015 11:05 am

"You could say that, yeah," Owen grumbled.

by **Caroline Berry** Thu Oct 01, 2015 5:44 pm

"Are you suggesting that my partner and I come back to the orphanage to adopt a sister for Joanna?" Ben asked.

by **feathertail** Thu Oct 01, 2015 11:30 pm

"It's a viable option," Owen shrugged. "Depends how happy you want Jo."

by **Caroline Berry** Fri Oct 02, 2015 12:53 am

"I always want her to be happy. She's my daughter." Ben said. "And I know she would be happy if you c and for a visit."
