Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rafael nods, "Unless he had some kind of miraculous recovery. No, looked more like he was going to be spending some tender moments with the toilet bowl to me."

Raf finishes around the same time, despite the fact that he'd so had more to eat to begin with.

Finally, Ty pulls back from Syd, although not completely. He slips one of his hands into Syd's, and leans against him, "Ok, let's go."

And the twins finally make their not so triumphant appearance in the kitchen.

"None for me." Tybalt adds, enjoying being in a chair, since that's much easier than walking.

So everybody goes around the table, opening their presents, leaving Rafael for last.

His present is in two parts, and being raf, he opens up the bigger one first. ANd then he gives aiden a look, "Shampoo?"

"...I'm pretending this didn't happen." Rafael replies, putting the shampoo back in its box and pushign it to the side a little so he can open the other part of the gift.

"Fine, Cuando monos vuelven de mi culo." Rafael says. Although, if one knows spanish, it becomes apparent that his 'fine' is not exactly sincere. Or if one knows him well enough to know what kind of things he's usually saying when talking spanish.

All is forgiven, however, when he opens the second gift (considered the REAL gift in his mind), which is smaller and contains a gift certificate for the tattoo parlour, worth enough to get the tattoo he'd been wanting the past, oh, ever. He gets up and gives Aiden a bonecrushing hug, and kisses him on the cheek.
