be discreet

It's not much later, in Isabella's room, that she asks:

"So... is Alex really a dom?"

Comments

[mrmage]

"What with being immortal, one day you'll learn eeeeeverything."

[eclipsi]

"Mm-hm." And she bumps her nose into his. Eskimo kiss.

[mrmage]

Eeeee. "I love you."

[catalexis]

"Eugh, I haven't even had breakfast yet and you're already trying to make me lose it."

[mrmage]

He laughs. "Your sister's fault."

[eclipsi]

"All my fault." And then she dips Sadde in his chair and kisses him.

[catalexis]

"Augh," says Alex calmly, and he turns his attention back to the pancakes.

[mrmage]

If her goal was making Sadde all breathless and fuzzy, she accomplished it!

[eclipsi]

That is an entirely welcome result.

[mrmage]

Good!

"Anyhow," he says, clearing his throat.

[catalexis]

"More bacon anyone."

[eclipsi]

"Yes please."

[mrmage]

"Sure, I'll have some."

[catalexis]

Alex distributes bacon. He plates blueberry pancakes for Renée, yawning her way down the stairs. He starts on blueberry-banana ones for himself.

[mrmage]

"Good morning," he says to Renée.

[kindestgarden]

"Morning," yawns Renée.

[mrmage]

"Sleep well?"

[kindestgarden]

"Oh, well enough," yawn, "it's only I don't drink coffee besides on school days. I'll be awake in a bit."

[mrmage]

"Why don't you?"

[kindestgarden]

"If you take coffee every day it doesn't work as well." She munches pancake.

[mrmage]

"Oh. Fair enough, I suppose."

[kindestgarden]

"Mm-hm. Besides, I never really got used to the taste and don't need all the cream and sugar."

[mrmage]

"I can take it or leave it. Sleep has never really given me trouble, I do need it but as long as I get a reasonable amount of it more-or-less daily I can function well during the day."

[eclipsi]

"Same here."

[catalexis]

"Gosh, I wonder what getting enough sleep is like, I will probably never know."
