Challenge: 474 - Bounce at tw100
Notes: The best present is one everyone can enjoy. A double drabble.

Rhiannon eased back in the fold out chair, sipping the delicious coffee. 'Now I know why it is you're so good with the kids,' she said, not even looking at her brother sat in the chair beside her.

'They're no trouble. Not by comparison,' Ianto replied, sipping his own coffee and enjoying the afternoon sunshine in his sister's backyard. 'Jack requires constant supervision.'

She grinned, watching the look of sheer happiness on Jack's  face as he played. 'A shame the kids lost interest already. It's all computer games these days. Not like when we were growing up.'

'It was to be expected,' Ianto replied.  

'Would've been expensive, though. I hope you didn't spend too much.'

Ianto shrugged. 'I know someone who owed me a favour. It came out quite cheap. Besides, I knew that it would get a fair amount of use in any case.'

'So, you bought it for the big kids?'

'Something like that,' he said, watching the large yellow castle in front of them jiggle madly. It took up most of the yard now.

'Ianto! Come on!' Jack yelled, sounding a little out of breath as he bounced up and down. 'You don't know what you're missing!'

I know there has to be a great one-liner about the best blow-up toy Ianto ever bought him, but I'm too sleep-deprived to be clever with words right now :)

Oh, you are so naughty! I didn't even think of that!
