"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?"

[palmofyourhand]

"Provided no one steals mine, yes."

[morphbox]

Ax eyes Ethan's pancakes.

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan points his fork at Ax. "No."

[morphbox]

<They are delicious!>

[palmofyourhand]

"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.
