Children, children everywhere.

Again. Only, this time it seemed to be other residents of the island, instead of their possible future offspring, which somehow made Jono quite thrilled that it hadn't touched him. The last thing he needed was to be five years old again. He hadn't been much of a fan of it the first time around.

That said, it was entirely possible that he was going to entertain himself today by pulling out the children's books once again.

... And possibly flipping through a few that he vaguely remembered from his own childhood. Shut up.

//England,// Jono replied, helpfully. //It's th'place where th'Queen lives.//

A pause while he idly flipped through the book in his hand.

//And Paddington Bear.//

[Or meta for the above. Except the Queen. I don't think she needs to be Meta'd.]

"I looooove Paddington! He's got a raincoat," Sookie recalled helpfully, standing on tip-toes to look at that book.

//And an affinity for marmalade, yes,// Jono agreed, stooping down so that she could get a better look.

There were lots of interesting words, like 'sleep apnoea,' and 'benzodiazephines.'

//I'm pretty certain that Paddington sleeps at night, too. He's a wicked little bear like that.//

"Yeah, but we're gonna make a no-sleeps fort. If Paddington had a no-sleeps fort, he wouldn't sleep," she assured him, frowning at the Very Big Words.

//Ah, but if Paddington did that, then he wouldn't be able to dream of marmalade, or deepest, darkest Peru, would he?//

Jonothon's knowledge of children's entertainment astounded even him, yes.

"What's a Peru?" Sookie wondered, her eyes wide. It sounded scary.

//It's deep, and it's dark. And it's in South America,// Jono replied, shrugging. //Not really as bad as all that, I don't think.//

Jono had never been there, of course. //If Paddington is from there, it can't be too terrible, luv.//
