Class was in the Danger Shop again today, which had been programmed to look like a forest. A pathway of ropes and pieces of wood began a few feet behind Jack and continued up, then high through the trees.

"Hey there," Jack said, in a rather pinched voice. Being a mom was exhausting. "Today we're doing a ropes course. It's pretty much an obstacle course, except you're way up in the trees for a lot of it. If you're afraid of heights or you're one of the visiting kids, there's something that might be more your speed over there."

She pointed to a kid-sized obstacle course playground in a clearing to one side.

"But if you aren't a wuss, helmets and safety gear for the big course are on those shelves. I'll go first so you can see how everything works." And because she liked showing off. Hush.

She paused as she strapped on her gear, indicating a rather weary-looking blond nine-year-old. "That's Val. He's mine. Don't mess with him."

And with that, she was off to the ropes.

"Duh," Flicker snapped. "We know our own Mom, thanks. Shard just wasn't saying that because she also doesn't like it pointed out."

Triple stars, was this what it sounded like when siblings argued out loud? At least Tryad siblings had the decency to do it silently where no one else had to hear it.

No wonder most Tryads didn't have more than one set of children.

"Okay, okay, quiet down, the lot of you. Safety gear. Ropes. No arguments. Got it?"

They all left tonight, right?
