That's exactly it. That sort of drive is everything. Just be sure to listen to them.
( immediately felicity pipes up with "i want cake for dinner." he immediately presses his hands against her cheeks. )
... And say no to nonsense like that.
( eventually he relents to the dissatisfied, almost cat-like BWEHHHHHHHH and lets his sister go so she can pour juice and glower. no cake... ruby can you believe this. an absolute travesty, truly.
the juice gets distributed wordlessly otherwise. despite everything, vic smiles almost dotingly, leaning against the counter with his chin in one hand as felicity distributes JOOS and leads the way to the coffee table.
despite the boxes everywhere being largely empty, somehow the room feels bare. )
She's got the biggest sweet tooth. She'd eat from a bakery nine times out of ten if she had her way...
[ Ai giggles politely. She's surprised to see just how warm their rapport is. She doesn't really know how siblings are supposed to be – she's an only child, after all – and the closest she'd ever gotten had been the other kids in the orphanage. There hadn't been a lot of warmth there, but wasn't that to be expected from kids who were never given any themselves?
There's plenty of warmth here, though. She wonders if this is what it looks like when children know they're loved. ]
Ruby's like that, too. Then again, Ruby likes eating pretty much anything. They say kids are supposed to be picky at that age, but I've never had any trouble getting them to try new food or eat their veggies.
[ Ai's watching the children too, her gaze fond. Ruby's leading the conversation like she usually does with only the occasional interjection from Aqua – she's never gotten the chance to see them chattering with a friend their age, come to think of it. All that happens at daycare and Ai can't risk being spotted there. It's nice. ]
Then again, maybe they're just glad they're not getting my cooking. [ said with a self-deprecating little grin. ] I guess anything's an upgrade after that!
