-Better late than never...
-Some details might not line up cause I don't remember what I did last... Or most of this story. 
-It's a bit short, apologies...

  You were sitting on the counter staring absent-mindedly at the floor as you swung your leg, Ms. Oats's voice nothing more than a faint mumble

  She was saying something or another about food and the boys. Ava and I haven't exactly had the time to go shopping, and when we do it has to be a quick trip because of the boys. Plus we only have so much money, to provide for seven people with no steady source of income is difficult. 

  You hadn't realized while you were chewing the dead skin off your lips absentmindedly that you in fact, bit through your lip and were bleeding. With a heavy annoyed sigh, you slinked off the countertop and started going into the bathroom to clean it up.

  "Ah, [Name], there you are deary." You blinked, and turned around, cloth on your lip as you stared at the older woman with false doe eyes. With RBF you actually have to think about your facial expression. "Oh, wha- No, you won't tell me. I need to make soup for ava and well, everyone else... But your kitchen is barer than me in my prime." The comment didn't throw you off, but you acted surprised nonetheless. Ms. Oats often referred to her promiscuous days, and I'm happy for her. "Truth be told, royalty and hot, I do not trust them... So I want you to take my money and get these specific ingredients." She tapped a recipe in her book. For a moment, you pondered the royalty thing but knew one of them would slip and Rhys would jump in. "And make them carry everything!" She clapped happily. 

  "Oh, I couldn't." You twirled a loose strand, you so were gonna. She just smiled and you started walking out of the room. Ms. Oats always had an intense gaze, you often find yourself wondering if she knows something she shouldn't, or if it was just from her long history. 

  "Noi is staying here with Ava and I." Was the last thing you heard before multiple heavy steps followed behind you and to the elevator. While waiting, you saw someone approach, but being kind of between-slash-in front of the four boys, you didn't pay any mind. They always seem to be the center of attention. When it opened you walked in, five bodies behind you, although you noticed your four seemed to literally form a wall between you and the new person.

  The whole time two of them at least stood between you and whoever, the voice was familiar but you honestly couldn't recall a name. You just sighed, realizing this is going to be a long trip.
