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!]

Sookie stifled a giggle, since she was sure she'd be running up against something similar once Henry really started talking to one of his other multitudes of half-siblings.

"I'm almost as big as you," Henry assured Bruce. "Your daddy's famous? My daddy's name is Bobby. He's kinda famous, too."

Sometimes Henry just liked to talk.

"I've never heard of him." Bruce felt the need to point that out. Granted, he was seven, so, as much as he liked to think otherwise, he really didn't know that many people.

Although, sometimes, Aquaman was his babysitter. His favorite babysitter.

"My dad's a prince."

Melody just threw that in because she felt she should be part of the conversation, too, although, really, pancakes were much more interesting that two silly little boys.

"My mama's a princess!" Henry added importantly, pointing to Sookie.

"Only sort of, Henry," Sookie corrected, sighing. "Don't tell everyone that."

[shes-got-fins.livejournal.com]

"You are?" asked Melody, smiling up at the blonde lady, but not feeling too terribly surprised if she was one.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"...You are?" Ariel unintentionally echoed, blinking at Sookie in surprise and feeling bad because she had no idea.

"I have some long-lost relatives of the royal variety," Sookie simplified, shrugging. "My great-grandfather's a prince."

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

"Which means I'm kinda a prince, too," Henry added. "Great-great-great-great-great-great-great-Grandpa said so!"

...it didn't need that many greats.

[shes-got-fins.livejournal.com]

"That's a lot of greats," Melody observed, as one might when talking to a little kid who clearly had no idea what he was talking about. But it was cute, and he was kind of a prince, and she didn't want her mom getting mad at her, so she'd be as nice as she could about it.

And Bruce had been keeping track on his fingers. "How would he still be alive to tell you?" he wondered. "Or is it more time travel stuff, like this?"

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

"He's like a million," Henry said informatively. "Fairies live forever."

[shes-got-fins.livejournal.com]

"So you're a fairy prince," Melody felt it needed to be said, though she didn't know why.

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

"Yup! S'where my powers come from," Henry said proudly.

Someday, when he was older, he would advertise the whole 'fairy prince' thing a lot less. But at five this was all still okay.

[halfbatfish.livejournal.com]

"What kind of powers?" Bruce couldn't help being intrigued by that, but Melody was certainly listening with interest, too.

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

"Mama and I are telpaths," he said happily. "And I can do this," he added, showing a hand as he concentrated as it glowed gold.

He could do Daddy's powers, too, but not in public.

[shes-got-fins.livejournal.com]

"What does the glowing hand do?" Melody asked, tilting her head.

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

"Zapping, but I'm not apposed to," Henry said solemnly. "I can just show off a lil' sometimes if Mama or Daddy is watching."

[shes-got-fins.livejournal.com]

Melody nodded in understanding. "And telepathy, is that reading minds?"

[liliceflakes.livejournal.com]

<< Or talkin' in 'em, >> Henry replied with an audible giggle.

[shes-got-fins.livejournal.com]

"Whoooooooooa." Consider Melody impressed. She stared at the boy for a moment before waving her hands.

"Okay, okay, if you can do that, then tell me, what am I think about riiiiight....now?"

She was totally thinking about flying whales. Who would guess flying whales? No one, that's who.
