Lance goes into the garden in front of his house trying to desperately escape Nyma. He slams the gate close behind him and trudges up the stairs.
"How about dinner tonight?" Nyma trails behind him.
"I told you already, I'm just not interested in you, Nyma!" Lance opens the door, "I'm sorry!"
He steps inside and slams the door shut and sighs. Soon enough a little girl with similar features to Lance runs up to him and hugs his legs.
He chuckles and scoops her up planting a kiss on her tanned forehand, "'Ello Veronica. How is mama?"
The little girl giggles and plays with Lance's clothes, "She's working hard like always!"
Lance smiles and walks into the main room to find one of his little brothers on their mothers lap as she tampers with a new gadget she's making. "Boujour mama." He walks over to her with his sister propped up on his hip. Lance leans over his mother's shoulder and begins to help.
"Lance, can you-" Seeing her son is already a step ahead of her, Lance's mother takes the piece he grabbed out of his hand and tinkers with the gadget some more, "Also, can you-"
Lance grabs the piece his mother needs but she shakes her head no but then glances at the gadget and nods, "Once again you read my mind."
Lance smiles to himself and walks over to his little brother, setting his sister onto the floor across from the little boy. "Mama, do you think I'm odd?" Lance sends his mother a look.
"Odd? My son? Odd?" His mother snaps her head up and gives him a soft comforting look, "Where'd you get an idea like that?"
Lance looks down and walks over to the kitchenet and places the bread down, "Oh.. People talk.. This is a small village. Full of small minded people, you know?"
"Small minded indeed. But small means safe and safety is a number one priority." Sensing her eldest son wasn't happy with that response she continues with a second thought, "Buuuuuttt... Back in Paris, I knew a person like you. They were so ahead of their time and people mocked them for it. But one day the same people who mocked them all found themselves imitating them."
Lance smiles and goes back over to his mother. "Please... Tell me one more thing about him."
His mother smiles and gives in, "Your father was fearless... Very fearless. But fear can't stop the worst."
Sensing his mother is upset, Lance tries to change the mood, "Speaking of Paris, you're supposed to be leaving soon!"
"Oh yes! Yes, am I!" His mother exclaims hopping out of her chair and gathering some items.

After loading the small single horse drawn carriage full of cool gadgets that Lance and his mother made his mother asks her routine questions. "Are you going to watch over your siblings?"
"When do I not?"
"Do you have enough money for the week?"
"Yes Mama."
"Do you have enough-"
"Mama! I have it covered. You have no need to worry. I'm almost 18!"
"Okay... Okay.." Lance's mother takes a breather and calms down, "I know what your siblings want-"
"Teddy bear for Veronica, new book for Luis, and Marco wants a new notepad."
