Fifth Floor Common Room [Sunday morning]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

After so many requests for pancakes from her own children yesterday morning, Sookie figured that might be a theme for the weekend. And when she woke up, and Henry wasn't gone, at least, she'd run out to get a few supplies before returning to the common room to see what she could put together. (Though, of course, Henry had insisted on coming with her once he realized she was Going to the Store and he might Get Stuff.)

It clearly just wasn't her own children she was worried about, here, Drake/di Glacia/Stackhouse appetites aside. Sookie had bought enough things to make breakfast for pretty much any kids (and parents) who showed up. She was setting to work on the pancakes, but in other pans she was busily scrambling eggs and frying up some bacon. She'd also made a point to buy orange and apple juice and milk both chocolate and white, because there was no way in hell she was letting more of those kids just drink coffee. She didn't care if it was for a weekend, it was just irresponsible.

[open common room! come have breakfast!]

"Your daddy is in disguise?" she asked, raising a brow. << And I can teach you to talk with your head, too, >> she added telepathically. << If Auntie Emma is busy. >>

"Uh huh!" Elizabeth said. "He's not blue and his face is all covered and he's not talking with his mouth, just his head."

She scrunched up her face and concentrated really hard. CAN YOU HEAR ME?

<< Sure can, sweetie, >> Sookie replied, though she frowned a little. "Is your father normally...blue?"

He definitely sounded like Jono, but...blue? Really?

"Uh huh," Elizabeth said again, bobbing her head up and down. "And he doesn't have fire anymore but he does things with sound. He can make stuff with it! I can't do that but I can do this."

She squeezed her eyes closed and concentrated, summoning up her flamey Soul-Self.

"Whoa," Sookie said, with Henry going, "Whoooooooooooa" behind her. "Is that like your mom's bird...thing? But it's on fire!"

[empathic-fire.livejournal.com]

"It's my Soul-Self," Elizabeth said proudly. "It's not black like Mommy's because I got fire from Daddy."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Gotcha. And your daddy at home is very different from the one you have here," Sookie added, filling that in. Weird. Weeeeird. "But you can still do things with fire, like the one here."

"He got hurted on M-Day and Mommy was in Glacia so she couldn't heal him," Elizabeth said. She only knew bits and pieces, really. "But he's okay now." Just, you know, blue.

"Hey, hey," Henry said, because the attention was off him and he wanted to join in this conversation. "Hey, 'Lizabeth, wanna see what I can do?"

Sookie gave him a stern look, and he added, in his mother's head, << I won't show her Daddy-stuff. That's not for publics! >>

Elizabeth almost said that Henry was a boy so the only thing he could do, like Nommy, was be annoying, but Aunt Sookie was there so she decided to behave. "Okaaaaay," she said. "Show me!"

<< I can talk in your head like Mama, >> he demonstrated, "and I can do this!" He held out his hand, fingers splayed, and concentrated hard as it started to glow a bright gold.

Sookie, as soon as she saw that, reached out telepathically to tether him a little so he wouldn't accidentally explode the common room or anything. That'd be bad.

"Ooooooh," Elizabeth said, eyes wide. "You'll never get scared in the dark."

"I'm not anyways 'cause I'm big and strong," Henry replied, flexing his tiny little nonexistent bicep.

[empathic-fire.livejournal.com]

"I'm big and strong, too!" Elizabeth said. "One day I'm gonna be as strong as my daddy!"

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

"I'm gonna be big as my Uncle Hank," Henry said proudly. "I got his name, too!"

[empathic-fire.livejournal.com]

"I gots Auntie Emma's and Auntie Karla's names," Elizabeth said. "Mommy said if she added any more Aunties though I would never remember my name because it would be too long."

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

"I know them!" Henry said excitedly. "I got my grandpa's name, too, but I never met him. That name is just for when I'm in trouble."

[empathic-fire.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, I know, I get allll my names when I'm in trouble," Elizabeth said knowingly. "Like when I teleport when I'm not s'posed to."

Or jump through strange portals.

Henry was having similar thoughts. "I think other-Mama and Daddy are gonna call me by all my names when I get back," he admitted.

"I'm gonna tell mine I just teleported to Glacia to play with Kayla," Elizabeth confided. "They get a little upset but not as upset as jumping through portals without permission."
