"That's fair," Xander agreed. He told Dark and Daizi the times that Milo had told him. "We plan water only. No rocks at any buildings." Alec rested his chin in his hand and studied Dark. "I'm glad you are who you are, but I'm sorry you had to go through what you did to get here."

"I mentioned Milo. Earlier when Mama said she was worried about her flowers," Xander pointed out. "Oh, he'll be super careful!" Alec agreed happily.

"Sounds like fun!" Alec chirped at the exact moment Xander said, "Sounds suspicious." "In either case, you can join in, if you want," Alec said. "Right, Xander? Seeing as this is your party you haven't actually invited me to." Xander very gently backed Alec's shoulder. "I was talking to...

"That's not a bad idea, and we should establish when it's going to happen, but can we back up to when you said you were a baby lion?" Xander asked, frowning in confusion. "Are lion cubs like... a club of some sort?" Alec asked, also puzzled.

"That he'd be too good," Xander said. "Could do Sloan." "Sloan's a great choice! I bet she'd like to do something out of the ordinary for a while," Alec grinned. "I'll ask, and if she says no, I'll ask Peter," Xander agreed. "If both say no, it's no team ups."

"We'll definitely pick up the bits, and it's with Milo. He's about as careful as you get," Xander said. After a thoughtful pause, he added, "Maybe we should invite one other to make it an even four." "Baba could join, and maybe Mama," Alec said. "I said an even four, as in fair."

"Speaking of relaxed, how do you feel about a water balloon fight in the backyard?" Xander asked. "Ooo, when did that become a thing? Am I invited?" Alec grinned.

Alec tried to duck Dark's hair ruffling and giggled when he couldn't dodge. "Of course you do. You win this round of love." He turned Ivy around so she could look at Dark. "Do you want to abandon your big brother to go hang out with your boring Baba? Hmm?" "I feel like I woke up in a...

Xander thanked Daizi and took his meds and sipped the tea slowly. Tea was pretty good, he supposed. Alec gasped when Ivy squeaked super loud and looked at her father. "What's this?" he blustered, puffing out his cheeks. "You prefer your father over your own brother? Why, why, why, you...

Xander shrugged. "Something that helps the head, please. I'm not sure which that would be." "Soon, you'll be old enough to give it a try, and then you can have all the tea you want!" Alec assured Ivy, helping her bounce. He lifted her up so she could stand on his knees.

"Kind of. Not really." Xander plopped into a chair, slumped over the counter. "Can I ask for some tea, please? You make it better than me." "I can do it!" Alec offered. "You burned the water last time. I didn't know that was actually possible," Xander grumbled.

"I think she likes it out here, that's for sure," Alec said around Ivy's fingers. "I like her out here, too!" Xander came in slowly. He was still in the same clothes from the day before, having not bothered to change. "What's out here?" he asked, rubbing his forehead. He had a slight...

Alec gasped and held Ivy up. "Are you a whole seven months old? Are you? That's so cool! That means you are only five months away from your birthday! Can you believe you've been alive on this planet for so long?"

Alec brightened and smiled happily. "Yay! I look forward to that." He stepped away from Daizi and asked, "Do you need any help with breakfast? Or should I hold Ivy for you?"

"Mmm. Pretty well. Not as good as some nights, and I stayed up too late drawing," Alec admitted, leaning into her. "Can we walk around your garden together later? You and I?"

Alec came down first, yawning and rubbing his eyes. He'd gotten dressed, but only because he'd never changed out of his regular clothes the night before. He wandered over and gave Daizi and Ivy both hugs. "Morning. No baking maniacs yet, I see," he mumbled sleepily.

I tried to make a few. They never came out right. The veggy were always squishy and gross. I tried following a bunch of recipies but stoppedso I wouldn't keep wasteing stuff. Xander yawned and leaned back. He closed his eyes to rest them. Just to rest them. He didn't mean to fall asleep...

Xander tipped his head, wondering if he'd been way too vague, but he'd thought it was obvious. Oh well. At least he hadn't said something weird about uncles. The soup I make tastes worse than canned stuff. Soup in general is good.

We use mainly nonstick with some specialty stuff, Xander told him. It works pretty good. It's been pretty cool learning how to use it and make new stuff. Like bread. And other things. But not soup. I can't get soup. It tastes worse than the canned stuff.

What do you use, then? Cast iron? Those copper ones? Xander sat down on the bed next to Alec. Alec mumbled in his sleep and snuggled up against his leg. Strangely, talking to Milo made Xander feel calmer. Maybe it was because of Milo's hyper sensitivity that forced him to act calmer, and...
