[pandion]

Andi is up first again the next morning. She pads downstairs.

Comments

"They are mine."

[instar]

"Ax, do not steal food from other people."

[morphbox]

Ax sighs tragically. <Yes, Princess Bella.>

[hold_infinity]

Robin grabs herself another pancake, then says, "I'm good."

[morphbox]

Ax looks beseechingly at Trouble.

[aeskhyne]

He looks at the various Swans.

[instar]

"I think we're good," says Bella. She has half a pancake left.

[aeskhyne]

After glancing for confirmation at Andi and Charlie, Trouble says, "All right, the rest are for Ax."

[morphbox]

Ax grins from ear to ear.

[aeskhyne]

Trouble giggles, and sets about making the last of the pancake batter into more pancakes.

[morphbox]

When Ax receives the completed pancakes, they are gone in less than sixty seconds.

[aeskhyne]

Trouble laughs.

[morphbox]

"Pancakes," says Ax with satisfaction.

[aeskhyne]

"Yep!"

[morphbox]

"Paaaaan. Cayyyyyks."

[sundayfish]

"Are you having as much fun as it looks like?"

[morphbox]

"Yessssssss."

[aeskhyne]

Trouble grins. "It's adorable."

[morphbox]

Ax smiles, a little. <Is there any more food or should I demorph?>

[aeskhyne]

"Mmm... nothing more right now," says Trouble.

[morphbox]

Ax goes back out to the garage.

[instar]

"How'd talking with Ax last night go?" Bella asks Trouble.

[aeskhyne]

"It went. I dunno."

[instar]

"Affordances for privately discussing it are kind of limited when the house is this crowded unless we morph and thoughtspeak."

[aeskhyne]

Trouble shrugs. "I don't need, like, secrecy," he says, "I just don't wanna talk about it in front of everybody. Can we go sit somewhere less crowded? Upstairs maybe?"
