Xiao Ling Kunjiro, who was still looking for food, had already taken out some leftovers from the fridge. Without taking his eyes off the fridge, the mushroom boy continued searching.
"Nothing much, just a fish inside," he said, turning back to Gullien. He then took what he found and took them back to where Tylassa was, placing them on the floor before handing the grapes to her. "Here you go, you take all of them," he said, eating the leftovers he found earlier.
Thylassa eagerly reached for the grapes, firmly squishing them in both fists. The squish-balls were good... but they were more fun to squish than to eat. She smeared one grapey-hand against the stroller. She was getting tired and cranky... and was still hungry! She muttered unhappily, wanting to be out of the stroller but not wanting to sit out on the cold floor, either.Gullien shrugged again as she lifted the bottle out of the microwave. Nothing wrong with fish. She made her livelihood of them. "You don't like fish?" Gritting her teeth a bit, she sprinkled milk onto her inner arm. Phew, non-nuclear temperatures. Good, judging by the way Thylassa was beginning to fuss it was probably time to feed her and go. Gullien dropped down cross-legged next to the stroller and the small pile of food Kunjiro seemed to be amassing and pulled Lassa into her lap. It would be easier to just hold Lasssa and feed her Thylassa wouldn't stand for that. Instead, Gullien had the set the baby in lap, head against on leg and give her her bottle that way. Thylassa latched onto the bottle, clutching it with one grape-y hand and smearing the other along Gullien's pants.

"No, don't like fish. Like vegetables and fruits more," Kunjiro replied, filling his mouth with food. "Want the fish? I get them for you," he continued, before looking at Tylassa and the grapes.
Xiao Ling stood up and sat beside Kunjiro, took some food the mushromm boy found and eat them. The food wasn't as nice as she thought, but at least there's something to eat. "Not eating?" she asked the other guardian, chewing away the food.
After finishing the food, Kunjiro left the dishes on the floor and walked around the kitchen, licking his hands at the same time. He then found a box filled something brown in color he had never seen before. Grabbing one of them and licked it, he smiled and it into his mouth. Not bad, he thought.

Feeling almost sick with worry, Lenore nodded and tried to keep her expression neutral. Figuring he was most likely sick of being comforted, she took his hand in both of hers and clung to it.
"It'll be fine," she said a little forcefully. She refused to believe there was something Dei couldn't handle going on.

He nodded almsot robotically. "Right.. I.. I'll work through this.." He said softly, looking up at Len. He had to wor through this. He couldn't let this.. rule him, but for now.. He'd just have to stay awake.. His eyes lids dropped slightl and he jolted hismelf back awake.. Sorely wishing to change the subject, he asked blearily.. "How are your shadown powers coming?"

Letting go of Dei's hand a little regretfully, she gave him an only slightly forced smile.
"Pretty good, I guess. I don't pass out after I use them, anyway."
To exhibit how much skill she'd gotten, she bent down and laid her hand on the shadowed floor. Rising slowly, she lifted her hand, coaxing the shadow to follow. It responded obediently, swirling like smoke and curling around her fingers. Jerking her hand sharply, she seemed to tear off a piece of the shadow, letting the rest fall back into place.
"I can make it turn into different shapes n' stuff. Can't make it attack anyone yet, though. Still working on that."
The shadow felt cool and light in her hand as she willed it into a lumpy cube. As it shifted into the desired shape, she gave a rare real smile and held it out to Deimos.
"Check it out - I can make it corporeal now."

Deimos gave her a genuine, tired, but genuine smile as he reached out, his fingers touching the shadows calmly.. He smiled wider. "That's amazing.." He said to her, truly awestruck by what she could do.
He coulod jsut cast fire, and barely now with this sleep deprivation. Remembering thier last lesson his smile stayed on his face. "We should go flying one day.."

Len nodded eagerly, smiling again.
"Yeah! I've gotten loads better - I don't even have to use Air stuff to help me stay up anymore!"
Toying with the bead of shadow as the conversation lulled, Lenore got a swoop of inspiration. Focusing hard and nearly giving herself an aneurysm, she forced the bead to stretch and warp into a sharp, almost dagger-like shape. Breathing a bit hard, she held it out, lumpy handle towards Dei.
"Here," she said, trying to look nonchalant as she presented him a weapon. "Somethin' to cheer you up. Shadow's aren't that hard to get solid - it's shaping them and keeping 'em that way that's a little tough."
She hesitated, then pressed the thing into his hand.
"I dunno what good it'll do, but at least it's something."

He took it gently into his fingers, feeling it cool to the touch. He fingers wrapped around the handle tightly. It.. it was solid. He felt a small smile crack his lips.
"Will. WIll it always stay this way?" He asked eagerly. He hoped it wouldn't vanish, the way many shadows did, in the light or after a while.. He wanted to keep this, treasure it, much like the way he treated her feather, which was still taped to his tail.

"It should - I mean, I think it will. Just keep it out of really bright sunlight, and it'll be fine," Lenore replied, pleased that she'd made Dei happy.
Looking him over quietly for a second, she gave him a smile, quick and genuine.
"It'll keep you safe."

Deimos ahd the urge to hug her. His mother's habits rubbed off on him, but he didn't hug her. He jsut wasn't that type. He did keep his hand tightly on the hilt and rushed a finger against the cold blade.
A tiny cut came from the light motion and he smiled even wider. "I'll use it to keep us all safe.." He muttered, yawning soon after he spoke.. He looked at the lock on the wall.. Mother ussually came by his room at this time, to find him feigning sleep.
"I need to go Len.." He murmured, holding the dagger tightly. "I.. I promise I'll sort this out.. on my own.." He emphasized the three last words, more of a 'don't tell anyone' sort of tone than anything else. He didn't want anyone, especially the adults, knowing this.
He moved to the door, cast one last glance back at his friend and left before his mother found his bed empty..
