The Gourmet's Lil'snack

peaceful day and movie night

The next day, she went about her usual morning routine. She looked into the kitchen from one of her perches up above, though, taking note of who was awake and what was going on. A small part of her wondered if she should ask Alex or Humbert if they could help her get some coffee? She'd always wanted to try the stuff. It always smelled good.

Alex gets curious about her but still goes to bed. Tomorrow will be Sunday so that he will enjoy a peaceful day. Hopefully. After all, no one knows what tomorrow will be like. Alex was the last one to wake up this time. Which was odd since he is the one to wake up first. He changes his pajama into his sweater and jeans before going to the kitchen.
As he looked at his phone, he was surprised that it was alright at 1 pm. Huh... he sleeps more than usual, he thought as he climbs down the stairs and goes to the kitchen only to see the rare sight of Raymond cooking.
Raymond and Alex are the only ones who know how to cook, but Alex has to do it as a part of his rent. So he was stunned to see his guardian cooking.
Of course, Humbert was already at the table, drooling over the fact that they will eat the angel cuisine. Which vexed Alex a bit but can't blame him either... But since he is here, the human looked at both of his shoulders but was a little sad to discover that Thorne isn't here. Sure it seems she was timid, but where is she now? He wonders about that as he waits for his extremely late breakfast.

Thorne was a bit surprised when she found that Alex wasn't awake yet, but figured he must have been exhausted. He'd been up later than usual after all.
Seeing Raymond cook was a surprise, and she took note of that as well. She thought only Alex cooked, but it was nice to see these guys weren't hopeless without him around.
Watching them cook was one of her favorite things since it reminded her of when she lived in the restaurant. On some days off, she actually tried cooking on her own once in the kitchen, but everything was too big for her to use on her own. Back home, her family had made a working kitchen, but she didn't have that here. She sat and watched from above to see what everyone was going to do.
Since it was only Raymond, Humbert, and Alex, she considered coming down....but Kian wasn't there, and she didn't know what the other female was doing or would do. She didn't want to risk being seen by the only other person in the house who ever left their room. Yin was still a mystery after all.

"Alex, can you bring this to Yin's room and call Kian to eat, please?" Raymond requested as he gave a tray.
Alex excepted to eat something salty but was stunned to see that they were going to have a Japanese breakfast today: a bowl of rice, miso soup, some veggie sauteed with a frying salmon. Very healthy and nourishing breakfast.

Before he goes up and brings the tray up, he whispers to Humbert;
"Where is Thorne?" he asks, trying to be quiet, but Raymond hears that as his head slightly turns toward them as he keeps making dishes for everyone.
Humbert almost choked on his drink at his question.

Thorne paled. She hadn't heard what Alex said from her spot, but from the reaction of everybody else, she had a pretty good idea of what it was. Very slowly, she backed up into the tunnel a little more as if that might help save her from getting into trouble. 'I am so busted...'

"huuuuh...well...she...uhhhhh..." Humbert tries to respond but is saved by Raymond.

"What are you guys talking about?" the angel feigns to ask, playing like a fool.

Although his expression doesn't change, Alex's cheeks reddened as he replies that isn't something important as he flies to bring the tray up and call for Kian.

"Hum...thank you," Humbert says in gratitude.

"Something interesting happens..." Smirked Raymond.

"Should we come to your office later?" the demon asks, his voice tiny from the pression of the angel's smile.

"...unless you guys want to," he answers back, telling them that is okay for now.
