"Hitch, I'm just going to flat out ask it. If this child is anything like her mother, how do you survive being around Ruby?" LB asks, after taking a much needed advil.

"So that's why you're calling me. You need advice on how to deal with a child. And I'm assuming by the death glare you're giving me, she's been pretty difficult." Hitch says laughing. The fact that LB has finally gotten herself into something that she can't handle is quite amusing to him. She now knows how he felt when she assigned him to look after Ruby from a stupid sholdier injury that wasn't even his fault. If Nine Lives only wounded his shoulder and didn't kill him when she had the perfect chance, what would make her suddenly decide to?

"Hitch just answer the question please. I need to know what to expect with this child."

"So you do admit it, you are in too deep."

"Yes, I'm in too deep and don't have a clue what I'm doing. This child is so argumentative, stubborn, analytical, inquisitive, and good at noticing things, that I can't win an argument with her. Now tell me what to expect and some blackmail information would be pretty helpful too. LB states, getting very frustrated.

"Well, I guess what goes around comes around, because I can remember a time when you were this exact way to any and everyone who dared even look at you. If it wasn't for Baker and me, you wouldn't have any friends because of how cheeky and sarcastic you were being."

"Everyone was asking me stupid questions and not listening to the answers. You can't blame me."

"Yes, I can. Now, how do I explain your namesake to you?"

Before Hitch can even finish his thought, LB decides to show him just how sarcastic she was, and how much she has improved. "With words preferably. I can't do mind reading yet."

"Just for that, I'm not going to tell you all that I know. Just enough to make sure you guys don't kill each other." LB goes to protest what he just said, though if it was along the lines of how unfair he was being, or that she would never kill a child, is something that no one can figure out, and LB will never admit.

"Don't even try to protest. Now, where to start with this particular child?

"She's just as, if not smarter than her mother. I'm not joking in this either LB. She already knows Algebra 2, some of Calculus, and parts of geometry, at 7 years old. She calls it just simple maths and logic, which is more infuriating than the fact that she actually taught herself this stuff so that she could read one of her father's false reports to try to catch him in a lie.

"Her knowledge in science is outstanding. She already knows most of Newton's Laws, and don't get me started on how much she knows about animals. I'm quite certain that no one has ever, or will ever, win a game of I'm thinking of an animal, with her. Complicated food webs that I could never figure out are like playing connect the dots to her. She already knows all about the rain cycle, and is more educated than me in all the different types of rocks. She even knows that name of most the bones and muscles, though doesn't see the point in learning them since, and I quote "I'm going to be a zoologist and live in Madagascar when I grow up. Why in the world do I need to know what my trecha is and what it does? How will that help me in my career path? When someone can answer those questions, I'll bother to learn what part of the systems all these bones and muscles are, and not just settle for the fact that I know that they exist."

"Then comes English, and with that language. Let sum this up, make sure every single sentence you mutter is grammatically correct, or she will correct you. Everything has to be grammatically correct, though for some reason she will say y'all all day long. I think that has something to do with all those southern books she reads, but I'm not completely sure. She knows a lot of all the different prefixes, suffixes, and root words, though when you teach yourself Latin, I think it's a given. Now, besides knowing Latin and English, she also knows Yiddish, which in turns leads to knowing enough about Hebrew to understand most of it. Since she knows Latin and English, she can carry on a basic conversation in Spanish, French, and Italian. Thankfully she's not completely fluent in them yet. And, the whole reason for all of this is because of books. She decided to teach herself Yiddish because it was in a book that she read, and she thought she would like the language. She learned Latin because of the same series, where one of the characters read Cato, so she decided that she also needed to read Cato, and the only way to do that was to learn Latin.

"Now, we're in Social Studies. Never challenge her on something unless you're 100% sure that she's wrong, and you have the resources to prove it. Even then, there's a nine out of ten chance that you're wrong. She's a walking encyclopedia of historical facts that you don't need to know. Just don't mention any war around her, especially the Revolutionary War, unless, of course, you're interested in listening to a 2 hour long lecture about what led up to the war, the war itself, and what happened because of the war, and you should live just fine.

"Now just odd facts about her. She is so much of an INTJ-T it's painful. Since you're an INTJ too, you guys should either get along, or want to kill each other because one of you guys are wrong, and you both think that there's no way in the world it's you. From what I've observed about the four INTJ's in my life, and quite surprisingly three of them are women since women INTJ's are supposed to be rare, is that women are way more aggressive than men, they generally marry ENFP men, and they either like you and you know it, or they hate you and you know it, there is no in between.

"She has literally made a book called how to care for an INTJ, I'd suggest you read it. And I know I've mentioned this before, but she reads 24/7. You might want to check and make sure that she's not reading in a few minutes after she stops eavesdropping while hiding behind the coach and goes back upstairs and into bed."

Without even missing a step from being called out, Bryn comes up from behind the coach, grabs LB's phone, puts it on speaker, and speaks clearly into it. "Now Hitch, you know that I would never eavesdrop. I heard you yelling at LB, and knew that you must know how to get in touch with mum and da, and I was wondering if you could give them a message for me."

"And what exactly is that message, that I am unsure existed until a minute ago?"

"Of course it existed. You don't think that I'm that much of a slave to my curiosity, as Mrs. Digby quite eloquently put it." Hitch just snorts at this remark and gives her a raised eyebrow.

"And the message that I want you to tell my parents is if they are in the Chesapeake Bay area, then they have to swim with orcas. I want them to video it and describe it to me; how majestic they are, what types of swirls they had, if they were in predatory behavior or not, and just what it was like in general."
"How did you know that your parents were in Chesapeake Bay?" LB asks, very confused on what is going on. Namely how a 7 year old got a hold of classified information.

"You guys are so controductional. You won't trust the computer to send emails, or communicate at all for fear of being hacked into, but you will just leave a file laying open on a table."

"The file was in a room that had a security code, and not only did the room have a security code that I didn't know until I requested access and had it granted, but it was a secret room that only 3 people know about." Hitch replies irritably.

"Exactly. It was just completely open, in a room. And everyone knows that Froghorn programs the codes, and if someone knows how to profile him, then you know the codes."
"I'm still failing to figure out how you found the secret room that only 3 people know about; not even your parents do." Hitch replies tiredly with a sigh.

"Easy. There's a photo of a black room in LB's office, but there's no black room in Spectrum; trust me, I've looked. Therefore, it must be hidden. And I didn't mean to find it, though I must say having the most secret room, because another Prism Vault but of ongoing investigations, in the intersection of every single tunnel must have been not only tedious, but genius. The backway hidden behind the bookcase where you just have to go through the orange secret tunnel not so much."

"There are secret tunnels in Spectrum?" LB asks while pinching the bridge of her nose, and echoing Hitch's thoughts.

"Of course there are. You can get from LB's office to SJ's lab in 30? It's really quite incredible."

"Bryn, tell me, without lying, that you haven't been eavesdropping on LB's meetings and briefing agents for assignments." Hitch says, now pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Of course I haven't. That would be idiotic."

"Then why do you know that fun fact?" LB asks, obviously not believing her namesake, mostly because of who her mother is, and because she knows that if her namesake is anything like her, then she would have definitely eavesdropped.

"Because all the tunnels intersect at different parts, and the distance between intersections is always the same. And before you ask, the whole reason that I know this is because one day I found a secret tunnel in the gadget room, and decided to do it, mainly because I wasn't supposed to be there and Hal was coming in 90 seconds earlier than what I predicted."

"And why were you in the gadget room unauthorized?" LB asks, getting a bad gut feeling as if she didn't want to know as soon as she said those words.

"Don't answer that question Bryn. I will be the one who turns this into a teaching lesson, and the moral of this lesson is that once you learn enough to know that they didn't do anything illegal, you leave it be, and don't ask why they were in that position in the first place." Hitch says with a small smile, since he had many examples of this little lesson why being around Ruby.

"One, there's no way that can be a moral. A moral is something that you learn from inference, it doesn't directly state it. You directly stated it, therefore it would be more like a rule. Something that you can follow if you want to, or completely ignore it if you want to, or just follow it whenever it suits you to. Another good rule of parenting is to not tell the kid to do something if they're going to do it anyway; that it's just the waste of a good threat." Bryn corrects, causing Hitch to sigh at her correcting his word choice, but give a small chuckle at the fact that she added that parenting rule while looking directly at LB, and LB just closing her eyes and slowly blinking.

"Well, you two have fun. I've got to go now." Hitch announces a second before hanging up. It was a good thing that he did too, because the two LBs were about to start arguing, something that they do quite well, and would learn it over the next several days.

"Those two are going to be a pair, and probably the death of each other. LB had no idea how to parent, and even if she did, no one knows how to parent an INTJ, much less Bryn, the most complicated INTJ there is. I wish LB luck, she'll need it; both of them." Hitch whispers quietly to himself after he hangs up, before chuckling and shaking his head. If both of them could survive being around each other for extended periods of time, and no felonies were committed, then it would be nothing short of a miracle. 

So, a site that says all the RR characters MBTI personality types says that none of them are INTJs, but I honestly disagree with that, so for this Ruby, LB, and Bryn are INTJs.
