Niyana laughed and nods, "Sure thing dear. I love peaches too. Though apples and cream don't really go well together. So...We will spilt an apple and each have our own peaches and cream how does that sound?"
She had learned to be careful with her walking so now even as Ruque ran around she did not fear almost stepping on him. "Can you please get us some forks and do you think you can get two bowls too?"

Ruque grinned. "I can!" he said brightly. "I'll have to take three trips but I can do it!"
And he ran over to the shelves where the dishes were kept and grabbed the two forks, brought them over to the table, ran back for a bowl, brought it to the table, and ran back for the last bowl. He was just about back to the table again when he tripped and hit his mouth on the bowl.
"Ow!" he cried, more out of surprise than anything else. He got back up again and put the bowl on the table, then put one hand to his mouth to assess the damage. It seemed ... he had chipped a tooth ...
He blinked in surprise. "Mama ... I broke a tooth!" he exclaimed, not knowing whether to cry or just laugh it off.

Niyana gathered up a couple of peaces and an apple. She set them on a table and grabbed a knife and a bowl of whipped cream.
She set them all down and was about to start cutting the fruit when she heard the click and fall of Ruque. She shifted to look at him and gasped softly, "Oh no Ruque what happen?" She watched him put the bow on the table then feel his mouth.
"Oh...let me see?" She picked him up and smiled at him, "Open up...its okay if you need to cry Ruque...it must have hurt."

Ruque took a deep breath so that he wouldn't cry - he didn't want to, not after his mother had told him he wasn't a coward - and opened his mouth for her to look at. He didn't taste any blood, so he didn't think he had bit his tongue or lip or cheek or anything ... but his one front tooth felt really sharp and half the size.
"Ih ohee huh a wiwwow ih," he said, his mouth wide open so that Niyana could see and poke around. "Ihs yus a wiwwow shah ..."

Niyana laughed and let him shut his mouth. "Well yes it is just a little chip but it is still sharp...so we will have to fix it or file it so you don't scratch your tongue or mouth with it...but good news it should be falling out soon too...so you wont have to worry bout having a chip the rest of your life but it is cute." she leaend forward to kiss his head, "It is not too deep but if it does hurt I can give you some willow."

Ruque closed his mouth and wet it again with his tongue - it had dried out a bit while he had been keeping it open.
"File it?" he asked. "Like ... kind of how Papa files his weapons to make them sharp, 'cept you'll be making it not so sharp?"
He didn't know what he thought about that. Would it hurt? If it didn't, it could be fun ...
He giggled again as she kissed his head. "I know why willow!" he said brightly, remembering their lessons. "Because willow makes pain go away! And you can chew it or have it in tea!"
His eyes shone as he looked up at his mother. "Right?"

Niyana nods, "Oh yes very good Ruque. You can also put it in the wound some times. But it is best in chewing to take the pain away. And tea helps to relax someone." she smiled, "So love is it hurting bad?"
She moved to her first aid kit just incase Ruque was in pain. "Already you seem to be having a full day." she laughed and winked at him.

Ruque grinned, proud that he had been able to remember all of that.
"Doesn't hurt," he boasted, puffing out his chest a bit. "I'm okay!"
And his tears dried up instantly, as if they had been waiting for such a declaration.
He paused. "Um ... how'm I gonna eat?" he asked sheepishly. "Is it a good idea to eat with my tooth like this? Or are you gonna fix it first?"

Niyana laughed, "Well dear to be honest I have never delt with a broken tooth before. But it does not look like it will be chippning any time soon. And we are not eating anything hot or too cold so I think it should be fine."
She set him on the table and started to cut the fruit. "But it is good you asked first. And I am very glad it does not hurt." she smiled at him. "Do you want to help me with breakfast again?"

Ruque grinned at Niyana, glad that his tooth wasn't going to cause him any more troubles - for now, at least.
"What can I do to help?" he asked his mother brightly, folding his hands in his lap and looking at the fruit around them. "I'm still too little to hold a knife ..."
He had tried once ... it hadn't gone over well.

Niyana smiled and motioned to a spoon, "Could you please put some of the cream in the bowls then I will add peaces and you add more cream okay?"
She smiled watching him. She nods, "would you like your apple in slices or as juice?" she really did enjoy her time alone with her son, though she did miss her time alone with her mate as much. She did think that they needed to find Ruque some friends his age.

Ruque grinned and nodded, jumping up to grab the spoon. He lifted it and dug it into the cream, then moved it to the bowl and dumped it upside down.
"Can I have my apple both ways?" he asked hopefully, his eyes sparkling brightly. "Some of it in tiny little bites and some of it as juice? Because I like it both ways - except I can't eat the peels, they're too big for me."
To be fair, most thing were too big for him at the moment. But he didn't mind - he loved the relationship he and his mother had, and he didn't know if it would change if he ever grew.

Niyana nods, "Yes i think we can do that." she said and started to peel the apple cutting half of it into very small bites for Ruque and then moving the other to a press to squeeze out the juice. "I think apples must really be your favorite fruit."
She laughed, she had tried not to play favorite with her children but she could not help but favor Ruque. He was sweet and helpful, innocent and bright. And the only one of he children that seemed to really like her. Ruran seemed to hate her or always anergy at her, Aras was fascinated and wild about her father, and Kanis seemed not really to care much. And it didn't help that Ruque had chosen to stay rather than go with the rest of the children.
"Okay juice and bites." she said setting a glass on the table next to the apple bits then she smiled and slide the peaches into the cream. "And we just need a bit more cream then it is time to eat."

Ruque grinned and kept on scooping the cream into the bowls.
"I don't know about my FAVourite," he said thoughtfully, "but I sure do love apples! But I love a lot of food, so I don't know what one is my favourite."
He paused.
"Do we have any cin'mon to put on it?" he asked his mother, raising one eyebrow thoughtful. "I bet that's good."
He finished with the cream and sat down, putting the spoon to his mouth so that he could lick off the remaining cream.

Niyana smiled brightly and nods, "Very good idea, you have been reading some of the cooking recipes haven't you?" She moved over to the spice rack and brought over some cinnamon sugar mix.
"Would you like to sprinkle it on or shall I?"
