Jonathan had stropped out into the garden, not even bothering to put on his shoes. Tom sighed and went to finish packing.

Ben walked up to the child, after having asked the staff if they had seen him. Ben put his hands in his pockets and stood behind the boy. "What's going on Jonathan?"

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 11, 2015 1:03 pm

Jonathan just put his fingers in his ears.

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 11, 2015 2:20 pm

Ben raised his eyebrows. Ben sat on a bench and watched his son, not saying a word.

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 11, 2015 2:45 pm

Jonathan, keeping his fingers in his ears, crawled under a bush.

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 11, 2015 2:48 pm

Ben patiently waited.

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 11, 2015 3:28 pm

Plato padded out into the garden after Ben.

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 11, 2015 3:36 pm

Ben looked at Plato with a sigh. "Hello." he said softly and rested a hand on the panther's head.

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 11, 2015 3:37 pm

Plato looked up at him with solemn eyes.

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 11, 2015 3:38 pm

Ben sighed again. "What am I doing wrong?" Ben asked. "I thought I was doing okay as a father."

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 11, 2015 3:41 pm

Plato just blinked at him.

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 11, 2015 3:43 pm

Ben sighed and rested his head in his hands. "I just wanted to be able to pass on my knowledge, help a child grow up, give them a loving home."

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 11, 2015 3:48 pm

Plato yawned widely, shutting his jaws with a snap.

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 11, 2015 4:12 pm

Ben sighed again.

by **feathertail** Sun Oct 11, 2015 11:41 pm

Plato flopped onto the ground and put his head on his paws

by **Caroline Berry** Sun Oct 11, 2015 11:58 pm

Ben glanced over at the bush. "I think he hates me." he said softly.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 12:58 am

"Ben?" Tom called from the door, walking over. "What are you doing? It's cold out here,"

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 6:20 am

Ben pointed at the bush. "Trying to help my son."

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 10:28 am

"What?" Tom asked, confused, watching as Plato crawled under the bush.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 10:43 am

"Jonathan's under the bush." Ben explained.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 10:46 am

"Wh- why?" Tom asked

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 10:47 am

Ben shrugged. "He won't talk to me."

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 10:53 am

Tom was about to speak again when Plato padded out, holding Jonathan by the neck of his tshirt.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 10:58 am

"Easy on him." Ben said with a small smile.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 10:59 am

Plato ignored both men and padded inside.
