 It was a quiet day at home and Lullaby was sitting in the lounge, making the final edits to his newest storybook. This one, about a moth than wanted to become a butterfly, would soon be ready for printing and he was pleased with how everything had come along so far. He glanced at the clock and smiled. It was nearly time for his children to come home. Well, most of them. Unless she was hungry, he knew Shrill X would be making trouble somewhere else for a bit. Slipping off his chair, he got to work preparing snacks for when his brood returned.

Tone Deaf had walked fast, ahead of his siblings. He didn't want to be bothered by any of them today. Today... Had gotten him down and his face showed it. He huffed as he opened the door, letting it slam behind him. He dragged his hooves through the house and made his way to his dad's chair. Tone climbed into it slowly, curling up in the still warm spot. "Daaaad!" His voice cracked and he sniffled a little. "I'm hungry!"

Lullaby turned with a smile; a smile that dropped ever so slightly when he saw the expression on his son’s face. “Welcome home,” he said, his voice loving as he continued to finish the snack plate. He placed the food in front Tone Deaf and sat down on the chair opposite. Then he waited, letting his son eat his fill before asking, “is everything okay?”

The little colt did his best not to make eye contact with his dad as he set down the snack plate. He hardly ate anything on the plate and sighed. He pushed it away from him and leaned back a little. "Nothing..." He mumbled to Lullaby, blowing his mane out of his eyes. "I was just hungry."

"Okay," he said and slipped off the chair, pouring Tone Deaf a glass of lime cordial. Then he returned to his chair and watched his son patiently. There was obviously something wrong, but he wouldn't push too hard yet. Lullaby glanced at the barely touched plate of food. "Would you like something else?"

Tone Deaf took the drink, taking a few sips before he sat it down. He mulled over his dad's question, perking up slightly. "Gingerbread phonies." He didn't really want to eat them, just bite their heads off. That always made him feel better when he was down, pretending they're screaming for help and he shows them no mercy. He would pretend the were a certain someone in particular.

Lullaby took a quick look through the cabinets. "I think we have everything. It should only take twenty minutes to whip up a batch." He began taking out ingredients and bowls, ready to cater to Tone's every desire if it put a smile on his face.

Tone slid off the chair to watch his dad look for the ingredients. "Ok..." A small smile touched his lips as he sat and watch. He was glad that Lullaby was always so nice and kind. He could never stay upset too long when he was around to make him feel better and put him at ease.

Lullaby got to work measuring out ingredients, humming a soft tune. It wasn't long before he was offering a spoon to Tone for him to taste the batter. "Did anything interesting happen today?" He asked casually as he turned the oven on.

Tone enjoyed Lullaby's humming as he worked and gladly sampled the batter. "It's really good!" Maybe he should have just asked for the batter. Or a tub of ice cream. The little colt's face dropped at his dad's question. " Just the usual... I sang and stuff." He sighed and flopped back down on the floor.

Lullaby molded his mix into a dough and began rolling it out. "That's good." He glanced up at the clock. The others should be arriving soon and that ruin his chance to get the truth out of Tone. "Made any new friends lately?" ashes to the wind Wait, do gingerbread cookies even have batter? xD baking fail.

"No..." Tone huffed as he watched Lullaby work. He just wanted to bite the heads off of those cookies so bad right now. "I don't want any new friends."Ruriska I trusted you!! Kidding. x3 No, I don't believe so. I think it's just dough and no batter.

ashes to the wind *cries* xD It'll be lucky if Lullaby makes anything even resembling gingerbread cookies. "That's a shame... I'm sure there are a lot of kids that would like to be your friend." Lullaby peeked over his shoulder at Tone Deaf, watching for his young son's reaction.

Tone Deaf shook his head gently. "No they don't. They're all mean." He pouted, messing with his mane again to try to keep his composure. He needed a distraction, it would be unfitting of him to start crying over something somephony said.

"I see..." He began using the shape cutters to make the dough into little Phony's. "Tone, you know you can talk to me about anything, right? Sometimes keeping things in only makes it worse."
