Bringing a friend to the cantina. ((locked to victormakesart))

There was a swish and a slight flash, and then Albus was standing near the bar with Fawkes on his shoulder and a young woman at his side. He blinked as always at the sudden change in scenery, then looked around with a smile to see if he could see anyone that he recognized before turning to Victor. "How do you feel, my dear?"

"C'mon, guys, settle down." Cassie chuckled, then got to her feet and went to the kitchen.

"See," she said as she returned and held out two potatoes, one with beautiful golden yellow skin and the other with unmistakable purple. "This is natural too, and the whole potatoe's got it."

"Tata." Nathan reached for the yellow one and happily sank his tiny teeth into the skin, then gnawed thoughtfully.

"You're really teevin', aren't you?" said Ben sympathetically.

She whistled. "Man, this place...that's awesome."

Victor patted Nathan on the head again. "Poor dear." Sympathetic cluck. "Seems like it."

[random_xtras]

Cassie laughed softly at her son. "Actually, I got the potatoes from my mom, back on Earth. She's got some that are red on one end and yellow on the other, too."

"The purple ones're good," Ben whispered helpfully, his bright brown eyes looking up at Victor.


((Those two colour potatoes are called Pink Nose, and underneath the red part of the skin the meat is white, and under the yellow part it's yellow. For true.))

((That's awesome!))

"Dude, that's like freakin' sci-fi-stuffs, you know?"

She blinked down at him, smiled. "I'll try that then?" :D

[random_xtras]

"Nah." Cassie got to her feet. "This is small beans. My husband used to fight things that were sci-fi stuff."

"Spooks!" Ben chortled. "They can't come here neither!"

"Tata." Nathan held it up toward Victor's mouth.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Cool, cool. I ain't no good at fightin' stuffs."

"Ooh, 'm glad."

She laughed, pressed the potato lightly back to his hand. "It sure is."

[random_xtras]

"Me either. At least not things I can't see." Cassie set a pan on the stove and started to cut potatoes and make salad.

"Nafen's ada went to Heaven," said Ben soberly.

"Ben, don't bother Victor with that stuff, okay." Cassie didn't turn from her work.

He blinked, then looked up at Victor earnestly. "Sorry."

Nathan, in the meantime, cut her a grin and started chewing on his potato again.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She looked awkward a moment, then ashamed that she looked awkward.

A subject, find a subject! "So..." Pause. "'M sorry for your loss. 'S a nice place y've got here. Good rent, or d' you own it?"

[random_xtras]

"It's mine and my father in law's." Cassie grinned and offered to toss her a bit of saltwater taffie wrapped in white paper. "For as long as we want it."

Ben sputtered softly as Nathan shared the potato with him, but then politely took a bite and ate it.

Mmlon hadn't moved in awhile, though his purring continued.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She unwrapped it, popped it in her mouth. Giggle. "Thanks, 's been ages since I've had one."

The entire atmosphere was just so relaxing. Almost overwhelming, it was so nice to be there.

[random_xtras]

"There's a whole bowl here if you want more." Cassie turned the potato pan on and resumed preparing vegetables.

And then the door opened and a blond girl who looked around fifteen seemed to blow in like a whirlwind as she bounced over to hug the woman.

"Dere's Mary." Ben didn't bother correcting his pronunciation this time. He was feeling too comfy.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Thank y'." She smiled at her, resisted the urge to offer to help with the cooking. No way she could hold three babies and cook at the same time, even if one of the babies was sort of flat. She could hardly cook normally.

"Hi, Mary. 'M Victor."

[random_xtras]

Green eyes that sparkled with mischief and attitude studied her warily before the younger girl offered her a smirk that wasn't unfriendly. "Hey."

Then she walked over to hunker down and look at Ben. "Hey, you. Your ama says it's time for you to come home."

He blinked, then sighed soulfully. "Okay...."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She smiled back at her, laughed lightly, then clucked sorrowfully and patted Ben's head at the approrpriate parts of the previously mentioned actions.

"'S okay, we'll see each other 'gain."

[random_xtras]

"Yeah?" He brightened, absently taking the ball of pink fluff that Mary handed him. "Weally?"

The fluff squeaked and cooed.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"'M sure, little dude." :D "Whazzat?"

Grin!

[random_xtras]

"That's my twibble, Bob." Ben hugged it with one arm as he stood and gave her a nice kiss on the cheek and then lay his head on her shoulder.


((That's tribble, lol. And I must to bed. Thanks for playing :D))

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

((Night!))

The kiss made her maternal instincts (or what counted for them in her case, which was more like 'they're lovely creatures, can I paint them?') flared up. "Awwww." She shifted a grip on the baby, turned her head to yawn. "'S cute."

[random_xtras]

Mary chuckled, sharp green eyes full of affection as she patted Ben's back. "Come on, little dude. She said she'll see you later, so come on before your ama has to come looking herself."

Ben sighed, then gave a little giggle and patted Victor's back before turning and jumping to Mary. "Bye bye! Have a westful sleep."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She smiled lightly, 'ama' like 'amor' in Latin and Latin-based languages. Ama like mother. She'd never understand being close to family. She loved her brother, and she was very often unhappy with everyone else in her household.

"You too, dude." Grin!

[random_xtras]

He chuckled, then started waving as Mary got to her feet and didn't stop even after the door had closed behind them.

"Bof," noted Nathan somberly, then cut a massive grin.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

Awww, she waved back, grinning. Lookit how cute he was! Babies were freakin' awesome!

She smiled down at him. "Yes, I concur."

[random_xtras]

Cassie chuckled without looking. "Is Lonnie asleep?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Maybe?" Sheepish grin.

[random_xtras]

She glanced over and saw how still he was. "Yup." Another chuckle. "Good, that means he'll sleep tonight. Do you want him on your bed? Oh, and what do you think of sweet peppers?"
