"He's making waffles?" "Guess he's tired of leftovers. I think he's missing the mess hall food." "What did they do? My house!" "Hush love, it's not ours anymore, remember. Tom expressed an interest in growing a garden, so Luke created a small space for him to grow plants during the coming cold of winter." "They look so harmonious, wish I could play with Abi." "And I wish I could help Tom with his homework." "Oh my goodness, how long did we sleep for this time?" "A week or so I think. I spotted a paper and tried to read the date." "It's a proper green house now. ... Ya know I think I kind of like it." "Yes, and Tom keeps going on about wanting to perfect the plants he grows." "What on earth is Abi talking about? Cass do you have any idea what she means by perfect mind perfect body?" "I think I do, but honestly I've never heard anyone so young talk about it." "Do you think it's a phase or a fad?" "Don't know, we'll have to wait and see." "I don't think I've ever heard of anyone whose made a career out of being physically fit." "Yes you have you just didn't know it." "Alright mr smartie, name one person." "Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Steven Segal ..." "Hold it those are actors ... wait, you mean they really knew their martial arts and weren't just stunt people?" "Yep." "And that's what our daughter wants to do?!!" "Yep ... wooah, breathe Lucy breathe!" "Lucy! Breathe!" sobbing "Hush love, they can't stay babies forever, and look chocolate frosting. You can raid the fridge for a slice while they're sleeping." "They got rid of the cribs." "Shh, here don't cry. It made sense to trade them in. Luke's not likely to have kids." Uncle Luke I wish you'd been with us. The pool was so much fun. There was a slide and a slip 'n slide, 'n Abi kept jumping off of the diving board. What did you do? Me, well I went out gathering, and traded some stuff at the exchange. "This is different." "I think it's because they're all thinking about their outing." "I can't figure out what Luke was talking about." "I can, look at what he did with the kitchen space. It's one of the changes I had wanted to do." I really liked doing our homework at the community center. Yeah, I wish we could have stayed later but Abi had that 'cital. Did you see how she leaped and spun, though? Yeah, for a girl our sis is pretty cool, especially 'cause she made the teacher mad by sneaking martial arts moves. "You're not going to loose it on me again are you?" "No, I think I've accepted that they're going to grow up no matter what, but why did she chop her lovely hair off?" "It will be easier for her to take care of short if she's going to be half as busy with fitness as she was before." "Oh." 'n the half pike was the best "Have you noticed that it's only the twins we get the images from." "Yes, it's decidedly an interesting affect." deep laughter "You really miss waffles that much?" "Oh hush, don't distract me I'll burn them." soft giggles "Is Abi pushing herself to hard?" "Luke doesn't seem worried." "But, school, a job, and martial arts classes." "Well if I followed the conversation, as long as she keeps her grades up she's okay, and she took the job to pay for the classes." "Then why didn't Tom get a job to help out?" "Tom sort of has, he does most of the tending on the garden, it's just that he's self employed** with no stipends for his work, other than knowing he did a good job." "Oh where has the time flown?" "See Luke didn't forget them, he respected their request for a no fuss transition day." ** The gardener self employed career, to my knowledge receives no stipends or extra funds outside of a one time bonus mid or 3/4's of the way through. Tom is registered as self employed gardener, he rolled the wish for it, and the only money he gets is from selling produce. Some outtakes from the winter festival, and of Luke dumpster diving.
