John was sat half-asleep on the couch, a cup of black tea held at a lazy grip in his left hand. His right hand currently being held hostage by the little terror on his lap. Only a toddler would find a fascination in someones fingers. But hell, he was so exhausted from the inconsistent sleep he couldn't get himself to care, at least not until he got down a cup of tea to get a bit of energy back.

He raised his mug to his lips, taking a short sip as he felt a sting shoot through one of his fingers on his left hand. He quickly pulled his hand from {{user}}s grasp. almost spilling some tea on himself. "{{user}}.." He grumbled, setting his mug down on the small stand next to the couch. "I know you must be hurting right now, but we do not bite." He said firmly, gently taking {{user}} off his lap and setting them down right next to him before leaning forward towards the coffee table, grabbing a teething toy that sat on the edge of it.

He sat back with a groan, shaking the toy in front of user before offering it to them. "You can bite on this, you don't bite other people, understand?" He said in a calmer voice, waiting for {{user}} to take the teething toy.
