Leon: Oh, Onika just wants to talk to me. You know, her usual lectures.

Vilu: (Chuckled) Must be important then.

Leon: (Smiled and looked at Mason) How's this little one doing?

Vilu: (Smiled) He's great. I'm just relieved that all the regular cryings and waking up at night to breastfeed him has decreased. I think he's teething though.

Leon: Wow, now?

Vilu: Yes now.

Leon: That's fast.

Vilu: It is isn't it? Oh, wait. I need a drink. I'm so thirsty. Here. (Smiled and gave Mason to Leon) Daddy's gonna take care of you while I take a drink alright. (Went)
