"Don't 'Yeah, whatever' me. You and I both know it's for the best. I don't want to sound like your mother but when you have learned to control everything I'll take you wherever you want to go. I promise, but until then I don't want to risk your safety." It was too early for a lecture, Reyna wasn't in the mood for it, and this woman was not her mother. "I'll buy you some stuff while I'm out. And we can hang out later. For now, can you please try to cheer Dyson up?"
"Fine," Reyna sighed and rubbed her temples, a headache was already making its way through her skull. If only she could drink coffee, but that only made the shape shifting "spasms" intensify. "Just to piss her off, I'll take you into town after she leaves, if you'd like." He paused, then; "Unless you enjoy hanging around a depressed kid all day."
"Thanks, but I think I'd like to stay home anyways." The sudden headache and the random shifting earlier were enough for one day. If Chris hadn't assigned her any chores then she would go and take a long nap. Her attention turned to Sapphire when the girl's soft, wispy voice sounded. "About what you said earlier, the thing about my nightmare. I'm fine, really. It's no big deal." Reyna nodded her head in understanding and smiled, "alright, but if you change your mind you know where to find me."
Christopher
Chris was finishing his breakfast when Jennora entered, proving a theory he had come up with a moment before that breakfast could not be eaten in peace. "Will you please go into town with Mikuo and I? Jason doesn't want too." She frowned at him from where she was standing before opening her mouth once more. "I want to go on a small shopping spree. Not only for myself. Oh I think Clarie is coming as well. Not sure.." Chris pretended to contemplate this proposition for a moment or two, checking his list and then finally, nodding his head with a sigh. "I suppose I can make time for it."
Chris winked to show he was only teasing and stood up, pushing the wooden chair back and going to the living room. "Alright Jason, here's the list of things to do." He handed the man sitting criss cross on the floor the long list of stuff to complete. "Reyna I have you down for sweeping the floors and making dinner." She gave a mock salute and an, "aye, aye Captain!"
He rolled his eyes before turning to Sapphire. "I hope you don't mind Sapphire, but I put you down for a guard shift." They had a rotation to keep an eye out, just in case someone tried to approach the house or there was an attack. They had a system for such occasions and thankfully have only had to use it once.
