The Gourmet's Lil'snack

Kian & Alex

"Huh?" She blinked, snapping out of her thoughts as she looked up at him. H-had she called him dad again? Her cheeks turned red at that realization. "Um....I-I dunno. I-I've seen some parents have special nicknames for their kids? M-maybe you could think of something like that?" She looked up at him. "Y-you already call me kid sometimes, s-so that's okay. B-but if you want something more personal I-I'll go with whatever you feel fits."

He hummed, wracking his brain for a nickname... But all of them have a food-related theme...this is harder than he thought. "I will keep thinking for one then.."

Thorne nodded and smiled up at him. "Y-you don't need to come up with one right away. Just let it come to you...or at least that's something I've heard people say. I don't actually understand it, but it seems to work okay." The borrower shrugged before letting go and taking a step or two back. "I-I should probably let you head out. I don't wanna make you late."

He blinks but nods. True, he doesn't want to be late. "Then see you tonight. And don't forget to eat and brush your teeth!" he says goodbye as he waves at her before leaving the house.

She giggled. "I will!" She waved as he left, going back into the walls once he was gone. Since nobody made breakfast and she couldn't get her dinner from the fridge, she had something from her stash before taking a bath and going to check on Alex.

Alex was already gone to school but there was a note in his room.

Kian was still asleep, her pillow and cover on the floor as she drools in her sleep.

And Raymond...isn't to be found. He is not in his room, and not in his office.

Thorne blinked, going to check on the note in Alex's room. If it was addressed to her she'd read it. If not, she'd probably leave it alone.

The note was a simple line: «Let's talk.» Looks like Alex wants to know what happens...

She grimaced, but sighed and grabbed some lead so she could write a response. Her handwriting wasn't great since she had to write so big, but she just said ok and to knock when he got home. In the meantime, she went back into the walls to do some chores.

Kian finally wakes up and lazily gets up. She smells under her arms, judging if she needs to shower but when she quickly moves away from the smell, she knows she has to.

While Kian did that, Thorne went about her usual routine. The second she heard that the woman was awake and walking around, she hid in the walls again. A few socks had been returned and a lost item or two had been placed out in the open for anyone to see.

Kian frowns at her missing socks. That is nice and really creepy. She walks around it, not picking it up at all as she goes to the bathroom.

Thorne watched as Kian moved around the socks. Was she that lazy, or did she find it odd? Based on her expression she went with the latter. Maybe she should work on making the places she puts missing objects more.....well....natural? Still out in the open but maybe at least in places that wouldn't get her caught.

Kian doesn't do any chores. No washing dishes, no cleanings (not even her room), no washing clothes, etc.
Why? Because she is a prideful demon! Why does she have to lower herself when they got a servant (Alex) to do those?

Thorne sighed and went back into her home. She had her own laundry to do anyway, and unlike the others she had to do it by hand. It would take her a good amount of her day to wash them and then hang them near the heater to dry.

After her shower, she was left with her thoughts. Lately, things have been weird. Her missing socks just pop up randomly. Humbert is more...gentle? And always has his mind somewhere else. But more importantly, he almost fought Raymond. That is a big thing.
After racking her brain for one hour, she concludes that there is something new in the house...not sure if it is angelic, demonic or...something else. She has to investigate.
