Merrick was positively delighted by the little girl's reaction to him. Surprisingly, he had always liked kids and wanted more than a few of his own someday. He wiggled his fingers at her again before he reached for the loaf of bread on the table, to which he ripped off a piece and smeared some freshly churned butter onto it. He poured himself a little bit of juice that was available, hoping it would wake him up a little more.
He then slowly ate with one hand, the other entertaining the wee one which he had no problem doing. She even managed to grip onto his fingers and tugged his hand toward her with a cute little giggle. He chuckled softly and tucked away into the bread, hoping that they would have some sort of soup or perhaps fresh venison stew tonight.
"Aye, she could charm me any day," he said happily. "I d'nae mind babes. I quite li'e them in fact. I wanna 'ave a few o' me own someday."
Merrick took a quick drink and wiped his mouth on the back of his hand before reaching for his bread again. It was easing the discomfort in his stomach. He eyeballed the vegetables. "Were ye tryin' te get 'er te ea' tha'?" he asked, wondering if he could help someway.
