Trouble hands him a plate of pancakes.

[morphbox]

This is a very effective distraction!

Bella comes down the stairs.

[aeskhyne]

"Morning, Bella!" says Trouble. "There's pancakes."

[instar]

"Are there now. Ax sure seems to approve."

[morphbox]

<Pancakes!>

[aeskhyne]

"I make good pancakes," Trouble says smugly.

[instar]

"I'm not sure if Ax's approval is much supporting evidence, but I'll sure have some."

[aeskhyne]

Trouble provides.

[instar]

Mmm, pancakes. "I, too, approve."

[aeskhyne]

"Good!"

Ethan and Robin come down the stairs together.

[sundayfish]

Charlie is not far behind.

[hold_infinity]

"Ooh, pancakes."

[sundayfish]

"Thanks," Charlie says to Trouble.

[aeskhyne]

"Welcome."

[sundayfish]

"Y'know," says Charlie, watching pancakes fry, "you came up on the phone, a few times - before - but Bella never mentioned your real name."

[aeskhyne]

"Yeah," says Trouble, "that's 'cause I never use it if I can help it."

[sundayfish]

"Why's that?"

[aeskhyne]

He shrugs. "I just don't like it much."

[sundayfish]

"Mm. All right."

[aeskhyne]

Trouble smiles, and provides more pancakes.

[morphbox]

Ax watches pancakes travel from pan to plate hopefully.

[aeskhyne]

"Everybody had enough?"
