With those supper human reflexes she slapped his hand and turned her head to glare at him before she pointed to the sink. "Wash your hands, and then you may have two tonight.. the rest are for tomorrow, as in the time when the teenage boy will be in the house and in a slightly unhappy mood... if I'm lucky" sweatdrop That last bit was muttered under her breath as she scooped the last of the dough onto the pan and then shoved the other half a dozen large cookies-to-be into the oven... she made them big, so there usually weren't too many of them xp

HonoRaven With those supper human reflexes she slapped his hand and turned her head to glare at him before she pointed to the sink. " Wash your hands, and then you may have two tonight.. the rest are for tomorrow, as in the time when the teenage boy will be in the house and in a slightly unhappy mood... if I'm lucky" sweatdrop That last bit was muttered under her breath as she scooped the last of the dough onto the pan and then shoved the other half a dozen large cookies-to-be into the oven... she made them big, so there usually weren't too many of them xp The massive, scarred barbarian mumbled and grumbled under his breath as he went to the sink and dutifully washed his hands, watching as the bottom of the sink became red with rust dust and sediment from his hand, before shoving it all down the sink and making sure it was clean. Drying his hands on the last clean swatch on his dirty towel, he took up two of the larger cookies on the rack, biting into one and humming in happiness at the taste, bending down to kiss her on the cheek as thanks. "He'll love them Hono'o, i can tell..." He said as he walked out of the kitchen. Going back upstairs, he dumped his towel into the dirty linen basket in their room before walking into the robe to take out some clothes. He was suddenly thankful that Sam wasn't in today - at least, he didn't think she was....suddenly he blushed, and committed himself to make sure he was dressed at all times in the place. The last thing he needed was Hono'o's kids catching a glimpse of his junk. Dressing in some casual track pants and a long sleeved grey t-shirt with red around the arm and head holes, he walked back down the stairs to the kitchen, munching on the last cookie as he did.

Tomorrow Drying his hands on the last clean swatch on his dirty towel, he took up two of the larger cookies on the rack, biting into one and humming in happiness at the taste, bending down to kiss her on the cheek as thanks. "He'll love them Hono'o, i can tell..." He said as he walked out of the kitchen. " They aren't really for him... the chocolate always calms me down." sweatdrop She took a cookie and slowly munched at it as she set the timer again, the best way to goof pre-mixed cookies was to overcook them xp While John was upstairs Rae found the broom and quickly swept it over the lounge floor, frowning at the tiny pile of dirt and rust that she swept into the dust pan before tossing it in the bin.

HonoRaven " They aren't really for him... the chocolate always calms me down." He came back down and grabbed the kettle, taking it to the sink and filling it up, speaking over it as he did. "What are you worried about?" He rumbled as he set the kettle onto it's base and, pausing for a moment to make sure he was okay to do so, reached out to flip the switch, cringing a little....but no explosion. He walked to stand beside her, crossing his arms over his broad chest, looking down to her. "...He's your son. I know i'm not his dad, but...." He shrugged a little. "...He should be happy that you have someone."

She shrugged and munched at her cookie. "He is always a tad angry with me.. I'm not his dad either, and I never fought to have Night in his life... not to mention that I avoid the boy whenever possible."
She moved to pull out the tea, a mint for herself and offered him the orange peco with an inquiring look.

She moved to pull out the tea, a mint for herself and offered him the orange peco with an inquiring look. He shook his head at her with a wide smirk - John Tomorrow, drinking orange peco tea? Bad enough he was drinking tea in the first place, instead of the blood of his enemies from a decapitated skull, or some such barbarian thing...reaching over her head, he pulled out the packet of strong english breakfast and handed it to her with a small, apologetically smile - nice try gorgeous wink He stepped back and watched her - she always made the best tea. "...Why is he angry at you? You gave him space - i thought kids liked space.."

She grabbed a pair of tall mugs and measured out the tea into the little woven bamboo strainer baskets and then pulled the kettle off the stove, touching the metal with her free hand for a moment so that it glowed red hot and the sound of the water boiling was evident before she poured it into the mugs, the bamboo balls floating to the top for a moment before slowly sinking to just under the water level to steep.
"I thought so, but someone once told me that he would have been a bit of a Mama's boy if I had let him... I am his only parent, and apparently it hurts his feelings that I don't constantly try to smother him with love." Not to mention that she had made the misstake of describing Nocturne to Bren in a manner that made it seem as if she loved her child-like god more than she ever would her first born son xp

John nodded slowly, mulling over the information and watching as she boiled the kettle, smiling as she used her powers so effortlessly... "...You have a lot of love to give, Hono'o. It wouldn't take much to patch things up, I think. I mean....would it really hurt to hang out with him every once and a while? We barely see Sam as it is....I dont know what she does, but she only ever seems to come to just eat and sleep..."
He even sounded a little worried about her. Perhaps it was because she was the current avatar of Munin, therefore his only link to his past and his 'people', as if were....or perhaps he was geniunely concerned for the girl as a girl.
Say what you want about John....he got the worried dad thing down pat. If he knew where his own kids had disappeared to, he'd probably stalk them all damn day...

"No, no.. better to keep the boy at arm's length, safer... Defiantly not safe to be around me when you can't defend yourself." Rae frowned as she fished the ball with the mint tea out of her cup, leaving it quite weak but minty enough for her taste.
She pulled the sugar gar out of the cupboard and dumped a large portion into her cup before stirring it. "Sam says that she has to catch up.. missed a lot in the last couple hundred years."

He was mumbling, the words falling out of his mouth in utter confusion. Why would Bren need to defend himself? And why did Sam - oh yeah. The whole Munin thing. That was understandable He was scratching his head with his right hand, wincing at the thought. "...Why would the boy need to defend himself against...you? You're a kitten Hono'o! You'd sooner hug someone then break their neck..."It wasn't.....exactly true, John was looking at her through rose tinted glasses. "....Well....not all the time, anyways..."

"I had... a few lapses.... in control, and I wasn't entirely sane for a couple of years there." She used her spoon to swirl his tea for a moment, checking to see if it had steeped enough yet... and decided to leave it a minute or so longer so it was stronger.
"Besides, I worry over him... I want him to have as normal a life as is possible, and that sort of thing doesn't happen around me." She had once managed to force both kids to shape shift into kittens, and there was the fact that a dead woman had taught him a forbidden spell when he was only a few months old....

He asked, his voice serious, his tea forgotten. Wanting her child to have a normal life where gods roamed the globe and people used magic to boil their kettles wasn't exactly sane to begin with. What she meant to say was 'human', a 'human' life....and, lets be honest, nothing in this world that was 'human' had it easy...

"I hurt a few people...accidentally, with the energy vamp thing.." She sat down at the table with her tea, mostly just letting the cup warm her hands.

John moved to sit beside her, pulling the chair out to face her as he reached out with his right hand to grasp one of her hands, rubbing the soft skin on the back of her hand with his thick, calloused thumb. "Hono'o, I love you. Please tell me. Please talk to me. I dont care what you did, I love you and I still love you - but I'd like to know, please."

"I killed a few people... and there was more than one occasion when I thought that Brendan and Samantha looked really tasty... in the 'it wouldn't be so bad to only have one child' way." She sighed hanging her head and frowning into her tea.
