The Morning After (open)(bendytimed back a little)
Last night hadn't gone exactly to plan, but it had been a wonderful night. The exhibit had been wonderful, dinner excellent and afterwards...Syd blushed at the thought. She had woke up this morning snuggled up next to a warm body and with a smile on her face.

She would have stayed in bed if she could, but an eight am meeting on the East Coast meant a five am meeting on the West Coast. Syd rolled out of bed at 4:30 and got dressed and caffeinated before her video conference with Mr. Stark. After the meeting she started a batch of blueberry muffins and scrambled up some eggs. Pancake batter was made and ready to be cooked when people filtered into the kitchen.

The residents and their guest would be waking up soon and it was best to be armed with food. She smiled at the thought of two dogs, a tiger and a kid jumping into bed with Avery.

	Andy comes in from his beach run shortly after Grace walks in with her barking towel. "Oh, man. Are those pancakes, Sydney? Do you need some help?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	At the sound of Andy's voice, Marlow looked over her shoulder and him and frowned. Her talk with Titan was still fresh in her mind and she was Not Happy with Andy. Her frown deepened when he moved closer to the prep area and she moved away with her coffee mug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Sure. I could use someone manning the toaster and making toast," Syd said.

Grace entered the kitchen and there was some small feeling of guilt when Syd saw her. Grace made her think of Simon. You have no reason to be guilty. He wanted a break. She had to remind herself.

Then came the bark.

"Grace?"

Syd glanced over when Andy came in and noticed Marlow go from bouncy to frowning. Now what? What happened?

	Andy wondered the same thing. Last he checked, he and Marlow were at least on speaking terms. "Uh, sure Sydney. I'll help with the toast." Andy says, going to it, even while he watched Marlow move away from him. Great. What did Titan do now? Andy wonders. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Guys?" He blinks then yawns. "Never mind." It is still way too early. Even though he has been up all night. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The look on Grace's face is one of innocence (or feigned innocence, in this case). "Yes?" She gripped the towel, struggling to keep the squirming black furball from sticking out his wet nose to sniff at his new surroundings. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your towel barked. Let's see it," she said. Syd didn't care if people brought pets home, as long as they were within the realms of reason and they took responsibility for the animal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery watched this exchange with interest, as he'd been thinking about getting a dog for him and Zoey. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Eiltin was very thankful for the hospitality that the Defenders had shown him and had made sure that he had followed the rules of hospitality that he had been taught as best he could. The burns had almost healed enough for him to make the trip back now. It was times like this he wished he healed faster like the others back home did but he wasn’t quite a god like them but it did mean he could stay in the mortal world as long as he wanted unlike them who could die if they stayed here too long.

He couldn’t wait to get back to Avalon, he really missed Ruarc and being apart this long was almost painful for him. Though it was hard to explain such things to others who didn’t have a Cú Faoil and he didn’t even try.

“Good Morning,” He said, “Is there anything I can help you with.”

	Marlow retreated to a corner as had been her habit in the past, but she wasn't hiding. She drank her coffee and continued to frown in Andy's direction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dawn pulled awkwardly on her shirt as she came into the kitchen. Damn thing had fit a hell of a lot better a few days ago, but she was managing. And she finally felt sane enough to go out shopping for a complete new wardrobe. "Morning all," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Okay, this was officially annoying.

"Hey, Eltin. You wanna take over on toast duty? I need to talk to Marlow about a spell." Andy moving to slowly approach Marlow in the corner.

"Um, Marlow? Am I imagining things, or are you glaring daggers at me? If it's the first one, then I apologize. If it's the second...I think I have a right to know why, since I haven't done anything to deserve it. Not to my memory at least.

Can we discuss this in private?" he asks.

	"Morning," Syd said to each of the new comers. "Breakfast is pancakes, scrambled eggs, toast and blueberry muffins. Help yourself to whatever. Pancakes will be coming up shortly and if someone can man the scrambled eggs, I'd appreciate it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-07-28 04:43 am UTC (link)
	"Probably a good idea," Marlow said evenly to Andy. The next instant they were outside the main house but still within sight of anybody glancing out of the windows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	im_a_librarian 2010-07-28 04:45 am UTC (link)
	"I can do that, Syd," Dawn volunteered. "So anyway," she went on, "I was planning a shopping trip today, if anyone wants to go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Giving toast duty to someone who had never used a toaster was probably not the smartest move. The toast came out only slightly burnt but at least the fire detectors didn’t go off. Eiltin hadn’t had several of the foods Sydney had just mentioned so grabbed a good serving of all of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The puppy poked his head through the towel. He barked happily when he saw Syd. Busted. "Okay, I know we've got a lot of pets, but someone just left this little guy in a cardboard box in the side of the road. I couldn't just LEAVE him there. I promise I'll train him and everything."

	Griffen had noticed Dawn. He was trying not to notice her. He had no idea why. He also knew he was starting to blush so he focused on his coffee and the puppy. "He looks a little underweight. You might... No. You should get him to the vet," Griffen says thoughtfully. He is feeling more and more like himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-07-29 12:26 am UTC (link)
	"Of course you couldn't just leave him," Syd said. "You will be responsible for him. Feeding, walking, cleaning up after him, and vet appointments. The first of which I will make for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	im_a_librarian 2010-07-29 12:36 am UTC (link)
	Dawn looked up from egg duty at the puppy. "Oh, God1 He's adorable!" And has... Griffen been looking at her? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“If you need help training him. I can help while I’m here,” Eiltin said, “I have a lot of experience with dogs.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The puppy squirmed in Grace's arms. He wanted to lick people's faces to death! "I will. Guess this means I need a name for this little guy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madscienceman 2010-07-29 01:52 am UTC (link)
	He has. He just was trying not to be obvious. He thinks perhaps he has been up for too long, "Einstein. Or Perry." His stomach growls almost audibly. Oh yeah he is awake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	im_a_librarian 2010-07-29 02:09 am UTC (link)
	It's cute. "Blackie?" she suggested. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	likethewind 2010-07-29 02:27 am UTC (link)
	“Dwayne or Murray,” Eiltin suggested as possible names. (Reply to this)(Parent)
