Zev sits at the counter, nursing a cup of tea, and wonders if he should offer to help. Aaren only has so many hands.

Well, 'Chelle's in the kitchen as well, and rescues her Dad's phone, winking at Zev. "Yeah, Uncle Steve, you know what Dad's like, we're gonna have far more food than any of us could possibly eat."

Permalink

Zev laughs, winking back.

Permalink

Inexplicably, she pulls a packet of breadsticks out of one of the cupboards and adds it to one of the bags.

"Yeah, we'll be ready to leave in about half an hour? Yeah, probably better for you to come here, I think all of us squeezing into Dad's car's gonna be a bit of a push..."

Nova leans a little more into Zev.

Permalink

Zev wraps his arm a little tighter around Nova, and kisses the top of his head.

Permalink

"Alright, cool, see you in twenty."

She hangs up the phone. "Uncle Steve's gonna come over here so we can split into two cars."

Permalink

"Makes sense," Aaren agrees. "Okay, I think I've got everything. Is Lan awake yet?"

Permalink

“I did hear ‘Chelle make an attempt,” Zev laughs. 

Permalink

"M'wake," Lan mumbles as he stumbles into the kitchen. "S'that coffee? Coffee!"

Permalink

"What would you do if we didn't make you coffee?"

Permalink

Lan takes the mug 'Chelle hands him, and takes a big gulp before replying. "Stare pitifully at the kettle and eventually have to figure out how to use it before all my faculties are online?"

Permalink

“I think watching you try to make coffee would be hours of entertainment.”

Permalink

"Probably also pitiful enough that we'd take pity on him."

Permalink

"Only if he turned those big, sad eyes on us."

Permalink

"It's a weapon I'm delighted to have in my arsenal," Lan says with a grin.

Permalink

Nova giggles into Zev's shoulder.

Permalink

“Yes, truly my one weakness is big sad eyes,” Zev says, grinning back at Lan before he noses into Nova’s head. 

Permalink

"'One weakness', ai," Lan teases with a knowing look from Zev to Nova.

Permalink

Aaren takes a break from making sandwiches to push a breakfast roll into Lan's hand. "Man cannot live on coffee alone."

Permalink

“Mmm, just the one,” Zev says somewhat dopily, wrapping his arms around Nova.

To Aaren: “Don’t challenge him to that.”

Permalink

"Everyone knows Lan can't resist Dad's cooking. He'd be eating again before the first day was out."

Permalink

"Alas, she speaks the truth. I would fall at the first hurdle."

Permalink

“What a delicious hurdle it is.”

Permalink

"More commonly known by most as: breakfast."
