Fall is in the air (Open)
Autumn had come to Westchester county in New York. The leaves were changing colors and the air had gotten considerably cooler. Cait loved autumn because it meant pumpkins and baking. Cait had been up before the sun and had started on her yearly batch of pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pies and pumpkin spice cookies. In addition to the pumpkin items, Cait also whipped up batches of apple spice muffins and apple crisp.

The kitchen was warm and filled with the smell of the baked goods. Cait had made enough for the residents of Xavier's and put together a care package for Corey and the Champions. Irina was going to stop by later to pick it up for them.

Cait worked on cleaning up the kitchen.

The best way to lure in a wild Logan son was to bake. At least with David it was the best way. He has a fondness for sweets.

He had become a little more quite than usual lately and reluctant to talk unless prompted by something.

But hello food.

"Smells good," he offers. Yeah, back like he used to be a few years ago.

Now for slightly more words! "Hi. The weather's nice."

	"Pie is always of the good," he decides. He loves pumpkin pie. Pumpkin is his big weakness. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hear,hear!" Sylvie declares. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pie coming up!" Cait said with a large grin. She grabbed two plates and served up a slice for Sylvie and a slice for David. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	David nearly starts to hum. For him that means lots of big smiles really. And then a low soud that sounds like a 'this is good Cait'. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks." Cait blushed. "Wonder if I can call myself an artiste now?" Cait mused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	David considers this with a tilt of his head. "Maybe. You've got skills," he informs her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	....Sylvie's too busy giggling like a maniac. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait grinned. "Sylvie got it. Sorry David, it was sort of a joke." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey I was kidding," he tries to backpedal. Yeah not looking anyone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
