 It was very early in the morning when Raken arose from his slumber, carefully slipping out of bed to avoid waking the angel. He had stuck by his side all yesterday. She was like glue! Golden haired, bright eyed, sweet as sugar pae glue. With his awful hangover, he hadn't the strength to kick her out.
With so much rest, today he was feeling like his regular self. His head felt clear, his stomach at ease, and there was a slight pep to his step. They had agreed to train today, and if there was any activity Raken loved to do more than reading was training. He busied himself in the kitchen, grabbing the bowl of fresh eggs and a pan. Eggs were full of protein, the perfect breakfast for physically demanding activity.Evilsilverdragon I've got I'll Make a Man from Mulan in my head

 With the warmth missing, the angel started to wake. One hand patted around her body till she confirmed to herself that the demon had gotten up. Golden eyes blinked out the slumber as big stretches woke her limbs. One final stretch, one that would make a cat proud to work out her back and hips, she was ready to finally crawl out of bed.
With some searching she found the hair tie and pulled her sleep mussed hair up into the familiar ponytail. It still could use a good brushing but for now her fingers would get it into workable.
Sounds of the kitchen called her as it held the promise of her demon. Looking around the corner the familiar silver hair she was fond of came into view. Oh he was making breakfast! "Good morning~" her sing song greeting entered the room just as she had. There was waiting in the wings, rather she came to his side and asked, "Do you need any help?" She could set the table at least.Tartara Seabreeze And now I have that song in my head too

He lit the fire to place the pan over the flames via a square contraption to hold it in place. As the pan heated, he retrieved the vegetables for chopping. Omelets were the plan. While laying out the spinach to slice, he heard a noise behind him. Then movement right beside him. Raken turned his head with a slight smile. "I was hoping to be done before you woke. Good morning Menolly." A smooth slice into the leafy green. "Yes actually. You can crack four eggs into a bowl then whisk them?" Tomatoes were next to be cut. "Is there anything you do not like to eat?"Evilsilverdragon It is a very good and fitting song XD

With a warm smile she agreed, "I'd love to help!" Short of waking up to a kiss there was no better way to start the day than cooking together. As evident of her growing familiarity, the angel wasted no time gathering the items needed and starting on the eggs.
Cracking all four was a small task, and she succeeded without a single shell in the bowl!
Pausing the task long enough to wash her hands, habit from the days of helping in the kitchen, she set the shells to the side to dry. There were several uses for the egg shells once they dried. "I am not a fan of hot peppers but that is it." Spicey hot food, she almost shuddered right there but kept herself as still as normal for her.
Back to the task at hand, Menolly tilted the bowl slightly in the direction away from the whisk before starting her work. Every so often the bowl would be shifted the other way to add air to the mixture. That was where the fluffiness really got started. Stopping well before they ended up another dish entirely, she placed the bowl within reach "All finished!" signaled her alert to the task before she set to cleaning the whisk used.

Tomatoes sliced. He tilted his head back as he grabbed a block of cheese to look at her. "Oh, so extra hot peppers on yours. Can do." The demon spoke almost playfully.
He did feel good to be cracking a joke! Like Fre and Dyas, being around female company tended to soften him. He smiled a bit wider so she could tell it was a joke before turning back to the cheese. With a grater, he started to shred it.
"Alright, set the table for us? The pan should be hot enough soon."

One look at his expression and she laughed, a playful glint and a smile helped her read his intention. "I'll have to share it with you then. Can't keep all those peppers to myself, would be a tragedy." Some of it, all of it, didn't matter. She was generous like that.
Passing by the demon with a chuckle still in her throat, the angel gave him a small playful bump. To her credit she did make sure he wasn't in the act of cutting anything.
It wasn't enough closeness, but he was busy making breakfast and that was to be respected. Instead, she gathered the settings for two and put them out asking, "What would you like to drink?" Water or maybe juice, she hadn't gotten nosy enough to really look around the kitchen and figure out what all he had. Being that nosy required leaving his side and that wasn't on her to do list. Longer together maybe but she just found him!

"Very thoughtful of you Menolly." He spoke dryly back, his tail giving a flick at her unexpected bump. No hot peppers. The demon thought again so it solidified in his memory. "Water, please. We will need to be hydrated today." While his brothers Dameon and Tristen were lean, Raken had actual muscles. He ate healthy and trained or worked out daily, especially since coming to the City now that he had so much free time.
And with Menolly as Velcro by his side, it would become part of her life too. He'd help her get stronger, faster, better reflexes. It would be necessary if on the slim chance if she ran into the fauns and he was not around. He always prepared for the worst.
He took the bowl of eggs that had been whisked, and poured half of the mixture into the pan. "Did you sleep well?" He wasn't making small talk, not truly. When he spoke, he did with purpose. He wanted to gauge how she was feeling for a sense of how todays training would go.

"You are welcome!" Menolly's expression lit up in responce, hands grasped behind her back as she leaned slightly forward. Turning on the ball of her raised back-set foot, she turned with a chuckle to fetch the water as requested. Running water, something most would find a luxury, was something taken for granted.
Living below was short-lived before the nice family found her, facts of life here so much like her childhood that nothing else was fathomable. There were other things that were not in the realm of normal, one such thought called her golden eyes to focus beyond the task at hand. As if it had the answers, the angel bit down on her bottom lip, worrying it with her teeth as she worked
Tenseness of her chest continued that annoying pressure set to cause her get jittery.
Stepping away from the sink all smiles, her focus returning to Raken the moment he said a word. "Oh yes! I can't remember the last time I slept so well and secure!" Long ago, back when she was child at home with her family or the very hazy memories now of a tree and a distant male voice. That was something to forget, time and distance helped but being around Raken was a the true cure.
"You?" Golden locks brushed against her shoulder and bust as her head tilted to the side. Spatial awareness contributed to the glasses landing on the table safely, all active attention waited for the demon's answer.

As one side cooked, he fetched a spatula to flip it for the other side. "Feeling is mutual. I am feeling quite rested." He spoke with a slight shake of his head. He grabbed the vegetables and chees to pour ontop of the egg disk. Then carefully, folded it with the spatula to form the omelet. "Today is going to be a good day."

For a few seconds, Menolly paused her eyes closed and chest puffed out. Huge smile floated where it belonged, he felt the same way! The sun itself radiated from within sending warmth to chase out the cold in her fingers. The training later the day fled from her mind.
"Yep!" Of course it would be a great day, she'd be with him! The only way to be perfect was to end it how it began but that was later.

When properly seared closed, he scooped the omelet onto a plate, then quickly did the same thing to a second omelet. As it cooked however, he stole a glance towards the angel. If a pae could glow - his sisters ex love Apollo aside- Menolly certainly was. Just the largest smile he'd ever seen. Amazing what to have her lot in life and still wear her emotions on her sleeve. In a way he might consider himself a touch envious. It must be quite liberating to show exactly what they felt.
The male slid the second omelet onto the other plate, then carried the two to the table. One down at her place setting, and one at his. With a deep breath, he closed his eyes for a quick silent prayer to the Guardians before picking up his fork. "Hopefully the omelet is to your liking. Its full of good energy foods like the spinach."

Practiced piety, Menolly fell into a prayer herself. Some of the sounds escaped more like a chant than the words held deep in her heart. Guardians were all and everything. With Raken they had shown her more generosity then she ever deserved.
Letting out a breath, she opened her eyes again looking first and foremost to Raken before setting herself. "Thank you for breakfast!" Spinach was a particular favorite no doubt this was going to be an outstanding breakfast!
One bite proved that, frills weren't needed when the food was honest. This omelet fit the bill as outstanding, and no peppers!

As his fork met fluffy egg and cut into it, he looked back up at Menolly as she spoke. The demon gave a small smile. It was nice to have company again, someone to converse with. "You're welcome. I'm sorry I didn't include any peppers. Fresh out this morning." Slightly bigger smile before popping in his fork full of food.
Pretty good omelet. He was a fairly good cook all things considered. Not one for frills but it got the job done and tasted good. He followed it by a sip of water.

With a mouth full of warm egg halting a response, Menolly fell back on giggling. She was in no race to finish what she was eating as she politely finished the bite and chased it down with water herself. "Shame about the peppers." With some effort she even managed an expression akin to being sad. Her award for greatest actress would have to wait.
Flourishing a large smile, the angel tucked her legs under her chair and went back to polishing off her food. One of the best compliments to a great cook is finishing the meal prepared for them, after all.

Smirking slightly at her feigned disappointment, the demon continued with his meal. He was quite content in the light hearted mood that had settled around them as they ate their meal. Warm, comfortable. A decidedly good way to start the day.
When the plates were empty the drinks finished, Raken took a breath and stood. "Thank you, for helping with breakfast. We'll just clean up here, and prepare for going out to the training field." He was rather looking forward to it. He always looked forward to practice.Evilsilverdragon breakfast is finally over! And it only took 4 months!
