Axie stopped looking so threataning at the sight of his Father....he looked so much like Willard, hardly threataning. And, the light hurt her eyes..she shied away, slightly, and was silent.
He pondered it. ".....Well go a bit further up, you know?" he said quietly.
Axie tensed then, and looked up into Willard's dads eyes, her stair was hard, and she didn't back down. She dint say anything, and didn't turn to see his mother, just held the gaze.
He swiped her off her feet halfway up and carried her bridal style up the stairs, his long legs surprisingly coordinated.
