You're no good for me, but baby I want you, I want you.

What do I do? With a boy, with a boy like you.

Veneer was continuously poking Floyd on his cheek as he clung to him and moving himself away so he doesn't keep getting poked, everyone else was finding a seat for themselves and half of the children were laughing along at the sight before them of their Uncle Floyd sleepily swatting away Veneer's pointer finger,

"Floooyd~ Wake up~!" Veneer nudged,

"mm..." he murmured, snuggling closer against his hair,

Veneer clicked his tongue and rolled his eyes at him as LaBreezy giggled besides him, she had saved a spot to be next to him, and she's definitely enjoying the playful banter going on before her eyes of her Uncle Floyd with her Uncle Veneer....at least she thinks it's her official Uncle considering how close they act like her mommy and daddy.

"How about spraying him with a bit of water?" Brandi asked, she was currently plating everyone their stacked pancakes as Veneer stood beside her and helped add every kid's designated toppings from whip cream, syrup, strawberries, chocolate chips, banana slices or simply plain. Each kid had lined up and mentioned their preferred toppings as he made them into cute little patterns before handing the plate over. He used to do this with Velvet when they were younger when he first started to teach himself how to cook instead of constantly ordering takeout.

"I've tried that earlier but he just shakes it off and goes back to sleep.." he said, taking the plate Brandi handed over and looked down at Bruce Jr. who waited for his turn, "What would you like honey?" he asked sweetly, looking down at the small child as the rest of his siblings have formed a line for their platter,

"Whip Cream and strawberries!...please.." he squealed, adding that final part softly as Veneer grabbed said cut strawberries and can of whip cream before creating two small swirls in the center and adding two sliced strawberries on each, and with the syrup he added small designs then presented the plate to Bruce Jr. "Woooah..!" he cooed, they were whipped cream bunnies!

"Here you go~" Veneer gave a slight grin as Bruce Jr. took it happily and headed for his seat, the line continued with every child asking for something similar and Veneer couldn't help but comply to every single one of their requests, he hadn't noticed Floyd had slowly woken up and watched every interaction unfold and watched lovingly at how gentle he was with each of them. Not just Floyd but so have the other trolls who were seated nearby and watched on, they were subtly judging Veneer's character from afar, and they've been very content watching as he catered to Bruce's children with much empathy and fondness. Even though Bruce is a bit envious with how much contact Brandi is having with him, guess jealousy does run in the family, she definitely coddled him as if he were a child as well.

Floyd couldn't help but swoon as he felt his heart melt as he watched on, how Veneer was so compliant and sweet with his nephews and one niece, making them laugh and giggle as he decorated their plates in fun shapes or animals with just whip cream and sliced fruit. Maybe they could do something with that can of whip cream later...when they're in private. Anyways, once Veneer had dealt with everyone's plate, he kinda stood off to the side by the kitchen counter with a hand holding onto his arm as self-reassurance after he's placed Floyd down in his own seat, he didn't expect much to be given a reserved seat at the table as well, but LaBreezy had very much saved him one besides her as she raised her hand and called out for him,

"Uncle Veneer! Over here! Sit with me!" she called out, Branch choked on his orange juice and so did John Dory, both coughing up and putting a hand over their mouths. Veneer thought nothing of it and sat beside her in the empty chair near the window and near the edge of the table with Brandi and Bruce, he completely overlooked the fact she called him 'Uncle Veneer' but everyone else heard it, especially Floyd.
