[Breakfast at Qwertel's]
Bas: You're shorter than me, Camilla! *feels tall for once* *happy*
Camilla: *says calmly* That's very good, Miss Basil. Size doesn't matter as long as I get my job done.
Bas: You are an eager beaver aren't you?
Camilla: *offended* Me a beaver?
*snorts* I'm a badger!
Dion: -.-; Basil! Don't insult the nanny!
Bas: Aren't you going to call her Camilla?
Dion: She is the nanny... *snorts* *goes back to reading her newspaper*
Bas: Isn't Ruc the babysitter?
Dion: *gives Bas a condescending look* He needs help
Bas: Speaking of Ruc, isn't he late for class?
Bartho: No, he should arrive on time. He left for my class 15 minutes ago.
Bas: Why are you still here? *blinks*
Bartho: I left a note on the chalkboard informing the entire class I'll be cancelling lessons for the next two weeks. I have a conference to attend. I'll be leaving after breakfast. *drinks his coffee*
Basil: ^^; Ruc will be thrilled. It takes him nearly two hours to get to campus...
And he left without his notes! *looking at the sling bag slung across Ruc's usual chair*
Nor breakfast... *steals a piece of toast from Ruc's plate*

Arianna: I love my Job! *giggling* *stroking the cocker spaniel's fur* Bartho: *shakes his head* How I wish all of us *pauses* love our jobs too! Arianna: *looks up* Job is cute. *puzzled* Bartho: Only your Job is cute. Arianna: *blinks* Bartho: Erm... Dion, help? Dion: *chuckles* Talk your way out of it. Bartho: x.X ----------------------- Explanation: Arianna's definition of a Job: Everyone who is important has a job. I want a job too! [Everyone who is important]= Lady Harrison (^ that's a mouthful!) Job = (toy) dog ... Bas: -.-; took us months to figure out what she meant by Job. Now her cocker spaniel is called Job. Ruc: At least it's an easy name. Bas: It doesn't sound nice! Ruc: Unless it is Job from the Bible. *leafing through Basil's bible* Bas:

[Dinner at Qwertel's]
Basil: Do you all always carry weapons around?
Nyx: *calmly cutting her steak* Qwertel and I don't. We can shift into something more dangerous within seconds.
Rucran: I don't see the need to. *takes his fourth dinner roll*
Aiden: I want to! *is glared*
But someone *glares at Rucran* took away my flick knife.
Basil: *nods* ^.^; So ... that leaves...
*decides to ignore Dion, Bartho and Philippe* *knows too much about them* *turns to look at Erin*
Erin: *sighs* I don't carry that ... much
Rucran: *chokes slightly* *trying not to laugh*
Basil: *lists the things Erin carries around* She's ri - ...
*pauses* *notices the funny look Dion is giving her*
Is there something I don't know?
Dion: *snorts* Obviously *rolls eyes*
*takes a huge bite and tears the vole in half*
Basil: Okay... I don't want to know.

Erin: Selena, can you read this for me?
Selena: *looks up from her book and takes the book from Erin* *raises an eyebrow* Even a child can read this.
Erin: I would have asked the children, but they are in school. *still wondering why they have to go to school*
Selena: *mutters about ignorant fools* I'm amazed you can cook at all
Erin: *brightens up* It's simply really. All I need to do is to follow what the pictures show. Getting the same bowls and plates is the hard part. And I memorize some of words too.
Selena: Which ones? *resists the urge to sigh*
Erin: *flips to a random page* This one.
Selena: Carrot?
Erin: Yup! But it wasn't on that page.
Selena: You're an idiot. *tempted to whack Erin with the book*
Erin: *pouts* *looks hurt* But reading isn't important!
[Conclusion: Erin is really illiterate. She can't read or write in any language.]

Ouch! Poor guy! It seems that today has a lot of book whacking. *wonders if Erin is okay* o.O Being hit on the head with a cookery book shouldn't be fatal.

Hehe. >_> He deserved it. I hope It wasn't fatal. *also wonders**is ignoring Vergil's continuously snarky comments*

[In Noah’s Park] Aiden: Give me a bite? *pouts* Marie: No. *continues licking her ice cream cone* *ignores him* Aiden: Not even for your big brother? Marie: -.-; *thinks he sounds pathetic* *ignores him* Eva: You can take a bite of mine. *holds out her ice cream cone* *beams* Aiden: *grins* Thanks. *ruffles her hair* *bends down* *finishes the ice cream in one huge bite* Eva: *stares at the remains of her ice cream cone* Marie: *sighs* *passes Eva her ice cream before the younger girl starts crying* *jumps down from the bench* *stands beside Aiden* *stretched out her hand* Money please Aiden: *blinks* Marie: You owe me two ice creams. *glares* Aiden: *cheeky smile* What if I say no? Marie: *grins* *has a calculating look in her eyes* Then I’m telling Selena. Aiden: …

[In Anna’s Room]
Eva: *sitting on Ron’s lap* *turns around* Ron, can you do your scary voice? Please?
Ron: *chuckles* And what if I say no?
Eva: But … it’s story time. You always do it.
Marie: *leaning against Anna* *sitting in bed with her* *also looking at her older brother* You haven’t come in ages. And I know you like being the big, bad wolf.
Ron: *looks at Anna* *laughs* Alright. But Aiden will be Red Riding Hood.
Aiden: *sputters* *looks up from his book* No way! I’m not a girl.
Nyx: *laughs* Are you sure?
Aiden: NYX!
Nyx: Alright, alright. *still laughing* I’ll stop.
Anna: *also laughing* Well Aiden, you know Ron will make you do it in the end.
Aiden: *grumbling* But I’m always the girl.
Ron: Isn’t it good? At least you’ll learn to appreciate the fairer sex.
Aiden: *sticks out his tongue*
Ron: Actually, shall we read the Little Mermaid instead?
Eva, Marie: Okay! *looks excited*
Aiden: *blanches* No, I think I’d rather be Little Red Riding Hood.
Ron: Too late, bro. We’re reading the Little Mermaid. Try and keep up.
Aiden: *sighs* It’s the same every single [bloody] time.
Anna, Nyx: AIDEN!
Ron: *smirks* Language.
Aiden: Hypocrite…
Eva: *snuggles closer to Ron* You’re my favorite hippo. But you can’t quit, okay?
Marie: Eva, a hypocrite is a hippo that quits. It’s a person who pretends to be something they are not.
Eva: Huh? Ron is still Ron. *pinches him to prove her point*
Marie: *sighs* *about to explain again* *thinks better of it* *snuggles* *whispers to Anna* Will she ever learn?
Anna: *smiles and whispers back* Eventually.
-------------------
Comments: The kidlings like spending the last two hours before bed together. Usually one of the older ones will be reading to Eva and Marie. Aiden will try to stay out of it as much as possible. Unfortunately Ron and Nyx always manage to make him participate. xD

[The Conference of Fussy Eaters]
Aiden: *makes a face* What’s that?
Marie: *poking the brown stuff on her plate with her fork* It’s not soft that’s for sure. Not rock hard either. Could be meat I guess.
Eva: *staring at her plate* Gravy doesn’t make it look better. *has more gravy than her siblings*
Rucran: *pauses* I thought you wanted hamburger for dinner.
Aiden: *gestures dramatically* This? It doesn’t even look like hamburger.
Marie: *glaring at Rucran* I don’t eat meat.
Eva: Can we have dessert now? *remembers her manners* Please?
Rucran: No! I made this specially for you so all you have to eat it.
Eva: *pouts*
Aiden: *signals to Marie that he thinks Rucran has gone round the bend* Marie: *nods*
Both Kidlings: *notice Rucran* *stop*
Rucran: *frowns* Look, I had to cook something that doesn’t have vegetables since someone insists he’s a carnivore *points to Aiden*, and something with vegetables since someone doesn’t eat meat *points to Marie* and something that has gravy since someone only eats the gravy *about to point at Eva*
Eva: *waves enthusiastically* *giggling*
Rucran: *sighs* So this is the best I can come up with.
Aiden: What is it anyway?
Rucran: Tofu burger
Aiden: *stares* Where’s the meat?
Marie: You can have mine *loads her patty onto Aiden’s plate*
Eva: Mine too! *passes her patty to Aiden* *then passes her vegetables to Marie* *dips the baked potato wedges in the gravy* *happy*
Aiden: *groans* 3 patties? Rucran, can I have a peanut butter and cheese sandwich instead?
Rucran: *muttering about fussy eaters* *hears Aiden and Eva bickering over Eva’s leftover wedges*
Okay, Eva you can have your dessert. We are out of gravy.
Marie: I want mine too. *has finished her salad*
Aiden: Not fair! They piled their wedges on my plate!
Rucran: Okay, you can all have your dessert. *has a slight headache* *wishes the other adult muses were here*
[Comments: Rucran’s first (and last) attempt at making (tofu) hamburger steak. To date no one has managed to get all three to finish what’s on their plate. The kidling alliance always wins.]
[Comments (2): That wasn’t a typo. Aiden likes peanut butter and cheese. <.<]

Tomtom: *climbed up the chair trying to reach for one of the dead lizards floating in the teacups*
*flails*
*dragged back by Eva*
*whines*
Eva: *tries to sound stern like her father* No. We must show it to Mommy, Aunt Erin and Anna, remember?
Tomtom: *whines even more*
Rucran: *walks in* Can you two keep it... What's that!
*points at the teacups on the table*
*sees the dead lizards floating in the tea*
Marie: *looks up from her book* It's called Drowning in Tea.
Rucran: * incredulously* Drowning in Tea?
Eva: *nods vigorously*
*accidentally drops Tomtom onto the floor*
Sorry Tomtom!
*turns back to Rucran as her tonberry scrambles to its feet* Too many tea parties is bad for us.
*points to the dead lizards* We'll drown like them.
Rucran: *snorts* I'm sure you won't. You are bigger than the tea cup.
Marie: *doesn't bother looking up again* Technically, you'll drown if your nose is covered in tea or water.
Rucran: *trying not to smile* But that doesn't mean you have to drown the poor lizards.
Eva: We... *stops*
I want to show them to Daddy! *takes one of the cups and runs out of the nursery*
*trying her best not to spill the tea*
*wants to know what her father will think of their latest artwork*
Marie: *watching Eva leave* Good thing I don't like tea that much...
*hopes Eva doesn't succeed*
*turns to Rucran* That was meant for Selena, Erin and Anna.
Rucran: *sighs as he clears the mess* There are other ways, Marie.
*rushes a finger to lips to indicate that she ought to keep quiet* Just think about it for awhile, okay? It's not very nice to inconvenience Camilla all the time.
Marie: *glowers*
*goes back to her book*
*ignores Rucran*
-----------------------
Comment: >.< I wonder if Camilla stopped Eva from accomplishing her goal. Poor Camilla, she happens to be very fond of tea... too.

LOL Vergil agrees with Eva...somehow. *thinks he just doesn't want to let her down* He also says not to show Sparda that...because Sparda likes his tea and will probably have a fit. *wonders if this has changed Vergil's mind about tea*

Eva: *nods* There's no more tea.
*points to Tomtom*
Tomtom: *happily munching the last lizard it fished out of the teacup* *sips the tea*
Eva: *watching Tomtom* *wonders what was so bad about what they did*
-------------------
>.< That's what Rucran was worried about. My muse didn't want to drink the tea after seeing the lizards floating inside, so he gave an Bartho the rest of his tea leaves. *also wondering if Vergil still likes tea*

Eva: *wide awake* *is cuddling her Vergil doll* Mummy?
Selena: *opens her eyes* *is sleepy* Yes?
Eva: *snuggles closer* Are you going with us to the zoo?
Selena: We'll see... *ruffles her daughter's hair affectionately*
Eva: *worriedly* Will you get better? I don't want you to go...
*is thinking of Anna* *wishes her older sister was home again*
Selena: *is awake now* *continues ruffling Eva's hair* Remember how you always feel sicker before you get better?
Eva: *nods slowly*
Selena: *smiles* *kisses her daughter on the forehead* I'll be okay soon.
Eva: Really? *is sleepy now* *yawns*
Selena: *nods a little* *hugs Eva a little more tightly* *waits for the girl to fall asleep* *is too wide awake to sleep* *thinking* *wonders how Vergil and the boys are*
