Kiri's up early the next morning, restless with various low-level simmering concerns, and wanders out of her room.

Comments

[free_flowing]

"Sure. What do you want for breakfast?"

[calescent]

"Heh. Do you have the fixings for panbread and strawberries?"

[free_flowing]

"Yep!"

He hugs her, thinking cheerfully about panbread and strawberries.

[calescent]

"That would be awesome."

Hugs.

[free_flowing]

Hugs!

Off he goes to make breakfast.

[calescent]

Mmm, breakfast.

[pyrophyte]

A slightly disheveled Ekador wanders into the vicinity of the kitchen shortly after Loel starts cooking, and peers at the incipient breakfast.

[calescent]

"Morning."

[pyrophyte]

"Good morning," he yawns.

[free_flowing]

"Hey," Loel says amicably. "I was gonna talk to you, actually. Kinda-sorta important thing. Is now a good time, or should I wait until you've had breakfast?"

[pyrophyte]

"Mm?" He blinks. "No, go on. I am more awake than I may seem."

[free_flowing]

"Okay." Loel smiles crookedly. "So - the thing, from yesterday, with my bones? How they used to break a lot? Can you... not talk to anybody about that? It's kind of personal, for me, and I really don't like the thought of people in general knowing about it. I can handle it when it's just us primes, but even then, I sorta wish it hadn't ever come up."

[pyrophyte]

"Yes, of course," he says. "I'm sorry. I begin to think I should never have said anything."

[free_flowing]

"Mm." He smiles again. "I'd rather know you know. I'd just... also rather you didn't know. You know?"

[pyrophyte]

Ekador also smiles, briefly. "Yes, I believe I understand."

[calescent]

"Speaking of primes, what protocol do you prefer when Patience shows up?"

[free_flowing]

"...I dunno," he says. "I think maybe I'd rather meet her one on one when she shows up? Not for any particular reason, just," he waves a hand vaguely, "feelings. I'd feel better about it."

Cooking cooking cooking.

[calescent]

"Sure, that makes sense."

[free_flowing]

"Okay, great."

Aaaand breakfast!

[calescent]

Om nom nom.

[liakoura]

Aleko wanders in and helps himself.

[calendarofcrime]

A few minutes later, so does Sarelle.

[liakoura]

"Fantastic. Non-soapy," pronounces Aleko around a mouthful.

[free_flowing]

"Great," giggles Loel. "Just what I wanted to hear."

It is well after breakfast, and in fact nearing time for lunch, when Patience arrives, alone and without a carriage, just on a horse with a big fluffy copper-furred dog following. She ties the horse to the nearest appropriate horse-tying object and heads up to the door, on which she knocks.
