"It can help. Sit on the swing and back up until your toes barely touch the ground, then let go and move. If that doesn't work, I can always give you a nudge." If he has to push, he has to push. He's not exactly unwilling, but he DOES know that the longer they stay put out here, the more likely they are to attract something. There are more than a few vampires mad with him.
Despite this knowledge, he stays. He doesn't get to interact with kids much. Especially ones this precocious. Sure, he's dated women with kids before, but usually little ones; he's only 24, and tries to stay in his age range. Plus, dating... never works out long term. He's pretty much given up on it. He likes kids. He really does. But they're not a normal part of his life. He gets behind Kitty on the swing, not directly behind so she won't bump into him, but close enough to catch her and push if need be.
