Faith tried not to look too panicked at the prospect of having breakfast with a baby, but at least it seemed to be asleep. Or at least tired. "I usually feel like that in the mornings too" she joked, nodding for juice.

Leland grinned and turned to bring over some glasses and orange juice. Eddie finally looked up, locking eyes with the blue haired girl across the table from her. "Pretty!" she said loudly, as if she was finally awake. "Daddy! Blue!" she pointed at Faith.

"Yeah I know," he grinned returning with the juice. He poured two glasses and put some in her sippy cup. "No reachin' though, don't wanna get syrup in Faith's pretty hair right?" he joked.

Eddie smiled shyly and started eating her breakfast, occasionally sneaking peeks at the girl across the table and then giggling. Reaching over to wipe her mouth with a napkin, he accidentally knocked Eddie's sippy cup. It didn't spill but still... "Aw damn it daddy!" Eddie hollered pointing at the cup.

Leland blushed and put the cup back up. "Watch yer mouth when we have company Eddie."

Faith gave Eddie the best smile she could muster and shoved pancakes in her mouth quickly. She looked across at the little girl as much as the little girl looked at her, sometimes meeting her eyes.

She almost choked when the little girl cussed and couldn't help laughing. "I think pancake just came outta my nose" she laughed, wiping her eyes on the sleeve of the hoodie.

Leland felt relieved that she had laughed and could't help himself. He laughed too and patted Eddie's hair. Eddie giggled along as well, glad to have made the pretty lady smile.

"Pancakes out the nose huh? Pretty impressive feat," he grinned. "I s'pose the only person you can blame fer that mouth is me," he admitted.

"So what house you in?" he asked pushing the food around on his plate awkwardly. He felt like he should at least get to know her a little bit all things considering.

Faith poked her tongue out at Eddie before taking a big swig of juice. "Well she's the coolest baby I know" she said.

She shrugged at his question and fiddled with her fork. Somehow hwat he asked made her feel kind of like a baby. "Roanoke. Whatever, it's lame" she laughed. "Did you go to school here?"

Eddie giggled and made a face at Faith, putting her own syrupy hands up near her ears and crossing her eyes.

"Yeah, she's pretty awesome," Leland was practically beaming at the little girl. She really was his pride and joy, the only real family he had left.

He turned his attention back to Faith, grinning like a fool. "Oh yeah, I transferred in my sophomore year. I was a Shawnee."

Eddie smacked Leland with her moose. "Moosey pancake!" she demanded.

He laughed and and cut up some of his own pancake and put it onto her plate. "There. Is Moosey happy."

"Mmm-hmm," she nodded already shoveling the newly liberated pancake into her own mouth after pretending to feed it to the moose.
