*Jake finishes making the sandwiches, and goes off to find Denny.*

---

*Gaunter smiles.*
GAunter: No problem Daveth...
*Turns to Gharn.*
Gaunter: Yep... have that kinda power...

*Gharn looks conflicted*
Gharn: What... what is the price?


*Dria waves to Denny if she's still looking for someone to talk to*

*Denny nods to Dria, looks around once more, then sits down at a table*
*Lights up a smoke*

*Dria smiles timidly*
Dria: How are you Miss Denny? How's Mister Jake?
*Despite being the same age, Dria views the much more experienced Denny as somehow older*

*Leo stops pounding punching bags*

*She sits next to a pile of broken bags*

*Finds Leo sitting down next to a pile of punching bags*
*Walks over to her and offers the leg of meat how someone would offer a bouquet of flowers*

*Denny shrugs*
D: Good. You?
*Puffs on the cigarette*

*Dria nods*
Dria: I'm good...
*Awkward pause*
Dria: So.. you're a spartan right? Like Aunt Amy?

D: Yyuuuuup.
*Takes another puff and lazily stares at Dria*

*Leo smiles down at Amy*

Leo: Thanksss Am-Blue...

*Leo tucks into the meat*

Leo: Can we pleassse ssstart telling people?

*Dria sighs*
Dria: (Well this is going... swimmingly)
*She chooses to change the subject*
Dria: So ummm... Danu, I'm sorry. I'm not great at talking to people I don't know...
*Facepalms and looks embarrassed*

*Goes a bit grey and shakes head*
N-No! No tell... Pleeze...
*Sits down beside Leo, and hugs her side*
Not teel... Bloo remembaas... Eevereetheen...

*Denny shrugs*
D: I'm not social. Don't like talking to people. You smoke?

*Dria shakes her head*
Dria: No. There isn't anything to smoke on the ranch. We don't grow tobacco

*Denny offers Dria a ciggie*
D: Wanna try? Ya mum'll probs wail on me, but I honestly don't give one.

*Dria shrugs*
Dria: She might... Smoking doesn't cause cancer for Elders like it does for humani, or rather, our auras eliminate the cancer cells as they form... so there's nothing really negative about it
*She bites her lip and considers*
Dria: Y'know, I think I'm old enough to make my own choice, I'll try one.

D: Sweet.
*Hands the cigarette to Dria, and offers to light it*

*Dria takes the light, puffs and as per the 1st time smoker cliche does it wrong and ends up in a coughing fit*

*Denny raises an eyebrow, then shows Dria how to correctly hold a cigarette cause that's usually what goes wrong*
D: Better?

*Dria tries again and coughs a little but does alright*
Dria: Hmm... this is... weird... dizzy..
*She grabs her head*


*Morgan finishes his project and grins*
Morgan: Alright... next up, the blender!
*Goes to the kitchen and swaps the toaster for one of his own design*

*Leo frowns*

Leo: O-ok... I won't tell.

*Leo gestures for a hug*

*Hugs Leo, and buries face in her chest*
*Can't manage to wrap arms around Leo completely*
*Starts going back to blue*

~

*Denny watches Dria be a pussy about it*
D: Damn, I don't remember coughing this much when I took a needle to the lung.

*Dria frowns*
Dria: I'm sorry I'm not a supersoldier... but thanks for this... I don't think I'll pick it up though.

D: Your choice. Not everyone is tough enough to handle them,
*Shrugs and closes the packet*
D: I'm joking.

*Dria smiles weakly*
Dria: If I'm to be honest you're not the best comedian I've ever heard.
*She shakes her head and puts out the ciggie in a ashtray*
Dria: I'm not going to ever pretend to be tough, I'm not really.... Morgan is though, too tough sometimes...

*Denny shrugs*
D: I'd be protective of my siblings as well.
*Keeps smoking*

*marinalia teleports down into a side room and walks out calmly and heads out*

Morning everyone!
*heads to kitcehn and makes coffee noticing the new toaster*
Ok... Hmmmm

How does this one work...
*prods it inquisitively *

*Morgan looks over from where he's washing his hands*
Morgan: Morning! Oh, and just put toast in the slot at the top and say how much you want it toasted.
*Assuming Marilania does this, the toast sinks down on it's own, then pops back up 5 seconds later perfectly toasted*
Morgan: I went though 8 loaves of bread before I got it right. If you want I put the old one over there.
*Nods ot the other side of the l kitchen where the old toaster sits*


*Dria nods*
Dria: There's protective... and then there's overkill...

*Leo pats Amy on the back*

Leo: There there...

*Leo twitches and shakes her head*

*marinalia*

Morning, and thanks. I can give it a whirl. *smiles*
*puts in toast*

Medium.
*toast pops up a good medium*

*marlania nibbles toast*
Ummm good!
I'm headed off to the hall to see the wolves about something.
See ya another day morgon
*gives a friendly tap on shoulder waves and jogs off*

Ooc gotta go. Dentist.

*Snuggles and wuggles*
*Looks up as Leo twitches*
Lee-oh, okai?

~

*Denny shrugs again*
D: No kill like overkill, I say.

*Morgan waves her off then finishes wiping his hands off and goes to the library to look at some old plans*


*Dria makes a face*
Dria: I'll have to disagree on that one. I mean if someone deserves it fine, but if they don't... then that's just wrong
