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.

Tempest's eyes went wide, because there was a strange person talking to him. "Yes, ma'am," he answered. "Please, ma'am. Thank you very much, ma'am."

Then he hid behind Squall in case Henry tried to talk to him.

"I like your manners," Sookie said encouragingly, sending a wave of calm Henry's way. "And Henry Corbett, if I have to remind you about your indoor voice one more time, there might be a time-out."

Henry looked appropriately abashed, and said, "Sorry," in a much quieter voice.

"Is this your dad?" Sookie added to Tempest, gesturing to Squall, who she gave a little wave.

"It looks that way," Squall answered. He gave her a pained sort of smile, and looked around at all the rest of the rugrats with dismay.

Tempest peered out around Squall's legs, and then stepped forward, with his hand out for her to shake. "Thank you, ma'am. Pre-cadet Tempest Leonhart. You're very kind."

Sookie bent down a little to shake his hand. "I'm Sookie Stackhouse, and it's very nice to meet you. And that's Henry, and he forgets his manners sometimes."

"S'nice to meet you!" Henry called politely. See, he could be better.
