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!]

Lian's eyes went wide. "You got powers? Lucky," she said, a little jealous. "We don't got powers in my family; we use bows. I'm not allowed to have one 'til I'm older, though."

"Like for your hair?" Henry asked, bouncing a little even if he was slightly confused. "I'm a telpath like Mama! And my hands light up sometimes. But Mama and Daddy say no weapons 'cause they're dangerous."

Lian giggled. "No, like for arrows, silly!" Didn't everyone know that? "It would be useful to have your hands light up, she decided. "You wouldn't need a flashlight. What's a telpath?"

Her daddy let her play with the guns if they were unloaded. She did not understand this 'no weapons, too dangerous,' talk.

"Whoa, you're like Robin Hood?" Henry said, eyes wide. "An' a telpath talks in your head."

<< Like this! >> he demonstrated. "I'm not apposed to do it to everyone though, 'cause Mama says it's nosy."

"No, Robin Hood's not real. And Daddy says Grandpa's hat is stupid." He had a point.

Lian's eyes went wide, and she said, "Like the Martian Manhunter!"

"I dunno what that is," Henry admitted. "'Nother telpath?"

Lian nodded enthusiastically. "He's green an' he shapeshifts an' he reads people's minds, but only when he's s'posed to, Daddy says he won't read my mind 'cause of he doesn't have permission. He's really nice. He likes Oreos. And he's from Mars. He doesn't really hunt people. I don't know why he's called that." Maybe she should ask her daddy.
