Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[endsjustified]

I'm relieved to hear it. Children are a full-time job on their own.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

They do keep me busy...They're good kids, though! And it's not like you can hold them to human standards. There's a balance between letting them be themselves and making sure they behave themselves so humans don't see them as a threat.

[amused]

Do you think I could tire them out, or...?

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

You could try! As an S-Class you'd be the most suited to it, since they couldn't easily hurt you from roughhousing.

Not unlike playing with my little brother back in the day, I suspect. Perhaps pointier.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

Definitely pointier. For some of them, anyway. They're all shapes and sizes.

Dragons…?

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

Comet and the toddlers are the only dragons. And Comet is really the only one with spikes. Then there's Blue, she's a griffin, and Peace and Chripie of course, and then the dire wolves, and Songie is a big fluffy black sheep, and Sorok is a lazy white deer...oh, no, the water dragon is technically a dragon too! But it always feels like more of a serpent. There's a lot of them.

A veritable nursery, I see.

It sounds…cozy.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

It might be a little too busy for some people. But I prefer it over things being too quiet.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

. . . do you get empty nest syndrome?

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

I feel like I've read a book with that title all too recently. How could I get empty nest syndrome when the nest is never empty?

[just

fondly regards him across the table as he answers that question 'yes' in the funniest way]

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

[tries to shove a taiyaki in Charon's mouth]

Don't spout nonsense.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[endsjustified]

[chomps his fingers with it a little bit :9]

Mm.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

I don't recall saying I was dessert. Watch your teeth.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[endsjustified]

[gives him an almost limpid stare]

Don’t tempt me, then.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

[meets his gaze with a coy smile]

Putting the blame on me for your own actions is unbecoming, sir~

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[endsjustified]

Said as though you don’t like me unbecoming.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

I like you unbecoming within reason. You still have to take responsibility for your own actions.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[endsjustified]

How would you like me to?

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

Hmmmmm...

[unlaces their fingers so he can take Charon's hand and dip a single one of his fingers into the chocolate]

Let me nibble you too? Since that makes us even.

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[endsjustified]

[laughs a little, low in his throat, and presses it gently to Lethe’s lips]

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[mykidisthebest]

[slides just the tip into his mouth so his tongue can lap up the chocolate, not breaking eye contact]

Re: [sometime in the day 100s, in a quiet stretch]

[endsjustified]

[cradles Lethe’s cheek with the rest of his hand, eyes hooding]

You’re making me think of a different sort of meal entirely.
