For the record, I have a niece around the same age. So I know how Zack feels in this. Screaming frustration/panic/fear and then love that just crushes everything in it's path. *nods* You brought the feelings through 100%.
The kids personalities are reallying coming through in this. I know Zack is being traumatized in this bit, but how much of this early stuff will they remember? It's certainly shaping them.
I hope Kyril didn't think his brother was being favored over him. It's so easy to misinterpret stuff when you're little. He tried to clean himself up... Is he going to think Zack was upset at him for killing the snake vs him being hurt? *wibbles*
Daddy just needs a breakdown once in awhile honey. It's okay. :) *attempts to crush urge to reassure fictional children*
