The Deck, Sunday Morning

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Well, this was certainly interesting, what with the Prom, the kids, and now this.

"Okay, listen up. Plates are here, sandwiches are here, and one handful of chips. You guys don't get to touch the soda, let me do it," Jack said, laying out all the sandwiches and fixin's for a home-style sandwich breakfast before the hellions decided to tear the place up again. At least they had 'helped' bring the stuff outside without dropping anything.

"Now I know why Dad's never home," he muttered.

"Hey! I heard that! Mooom!" Someone who looked suspiciously like a wee!Burton with four small forehead horns was giving her father A Look.

"Help!" Jack protested, knowing he was not going to win.

[Open! Moddable sandwiches for all!]

Naomi smiled, "what's the problem now?" she said lightly, Kathryn was next to her and looking at the commotion in front of her.

"Sam, honey, use a plate," Jack said before his kid could make a bigger mess. "She's definitely a Burton," he said to Naomi, giving her and Kathryn a wink.

Samantha curled up in a deck chair to start eating.

Naomi grinned, "imagine that," she said.

"I don't have to imagine," he said. "She's got my appetite!" He winked at Sam's mom.

Brianna could have gone down to the store and gotten breakfast from her dad, but this place was closer and there was already food.

"Hi. Can anyone join in?"

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Sure! Here's a plate," he said, handing her one, "and try not to load up on the chips, because I don't want your mom or dad coming after me because I spoiled your dinner."

Because chips in the morning spoil dinner in the afternoon.

"My mom's not here and I don't think my dad would mind. I'm Brianna."

"Hey, Brianna, I'm Jack. Who do you belong to?" he asked, jokingly.

"G'Kar," she replied as she filled up her plate. "Tall alien with lots of spots. You know him?"

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Yes! I know him, he does the plays."

"That makes sense seeing how he's a former ambassador. Gives him something to use that talent for," she smiled.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"He's pretty good. Better'n me, and that's saying something." Mostly that Jack was a bad actor, but still.

"So you're in them too. How do you like it?" she asked, finding a place to sit and starting on her breakfast.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Well...I kinda like it," he said. "I mean, I get to pretend to be someone else for a while. Without getting bit by a gremlin, first. It's fun. You ever try out for plays or anything back home?"

"No. The Minbari only seem to do religious stuff or historical war things. Not very interesting." She paused for a minute, "Well, some of it is interesting, but it gets boring watching the retelling of Valen's coming for the eigthmillion time," she rolled her eyes.

"Well, they do get repetative," he agreed.
