"Six months," Dark said blandly, drinking his coffee and trying not to weep at how much sugar they were adding. They were ruining it, and did not know. But, it was better than wasting it. "They were going upstairs as I was coming down. Ivy needed a changing, I believe." He smiled slightly...

"You need to practice before I am eighty," Dark said, fully expecting the twins to make it through their respective cups. His coffee was expensive and he took the time to grind it himself, he wasn't going to waste it, "So that I may trust you can make it well. You may add sugar to your own...

"Either work," Dark nodded, and hid a tiny smile at their reaction as he took another sip, unbothered, "Give it time. It grows on you." Although, to be fair, Daizi didn't drink it very often, but she said that much caffeine made her jittery.

"It is stronger than what you are familiar with," Dark said, briefly raising his cup, before pushing his hair back where it belonged and taking a sip. "She cannot touch the grounds without disturbing the pattern, which ruins the reading. I am talking about the grounds that will settle at the...

Dark poured out the three cups and put them on the tray, which he brought to the island counter and set down before taking a seat, "I do not know if you have had coffee before, but this is better than what you have had, if you have tried it before. But it is sad for Daizi, because since she is...

"Whatever you prefer," Dark replied calmly, filling the pot with water and setting it on the stove. When it was time, he added the coffee grounds and a bit of sugar and kept it on the stove until it began to foam, then he lifted it off the heat until the bubbles died down, and repeated this...

"If you want to go to school I will not prevent you," Dark replied, grinding cardamom, "I had just thought it would be stressful for you being in school when Xander is at home. I have not called you out, yet, so it is whatever you prefer."

"Good, I will teach you." Dark said, nodding for Xander to come over to learn, "You may have some and then I will ruin you. Alec: Mental health day."

"I need to teach you two how to make it," He murmured, taking out his dallah and all the other necessary accoutrements, "Drip coffee is horrendous and when I am old and feeble and my hands are gnarled and arthritic, it will ruin my final years if I beg you to bring me coffee and you bring me...

"Oh, that is nice," Dark said, rubbing his eye with the heel of his hand. He watched the way Alec stared at him but had absolutely no idea why, so he stared back for a few moments and shuffled into the kitchen, "I am fine, but it is kind of her to worry. ...I am going to make coffee."

"Anytime. See you," Sloan replied lightly, and then went home. Not long after, Dark came back downstairs, somewhat more rested and his head slightly more clear. His hair, which normally was pushed back, flopped down into his face. "Oh," he said, definitely still a bit groggy and...

"I did a lot of colouring, a lot of puzzles, and went on a lot of walks," Sloan told him, trying to be at least a little positive. To Alec, she said, "I've broken a lot of toes. And my tailbone, once, which sucked. But, anyway, I should probably go home, I guess. I just wanted to drop off...

"Well... I guess it could've been worse, then." Sloan said eventually. "I'm sorry about the concussion, though. I know how bad they suck. I'm sure you'll fuss at me for saying this, but when you're allowed to do it again, you've gotta remember to slowly ease back into it, you know? And if I...

"Damn, dude," Sloan said, taking Xander's hint and not asking any follow up questions. Well, only asking one follow-up question, "Is he okay? I'm not asking, like... for a diagram of where he was hit, but... You know. Is he okay?" Well, only asking two follow up questions, "Are you both okay?"

Sloan shrugged, "I broke my cheekbone falling hard on the bars once. I looked rough. But that's why we have makeup. And..." She shifted, "Some of the rumors are kinda mean. There's a lot with the normal Camel Smuggling operation that nobody will let die, and some comments are... worse...
