The Town Plaza [2]

Lucian

I fall asleep soon after.

Halee

I wake the next morning to Blithe crying and stand. Something in my stomach rises and I run to the bathroom before doubling over. Confused, I sit there for a few minutes before washing my mouth out and trudging towards Blithe's room.

Lucian

I wake and find Halee washing her mouth out and walking towards Blithe's room. Confused, I stand and follow her.

Halee

Slow, I get there and take Blithe in my arms, hushing him.

Lucian

I hover in the doorway, sighing, "You okay, Hales?"

Halee

I nod, "Y-Yeah."

Lucian

I study her, nodding, before heading downstairs.

Halee

I bring Blithe downstairs and sigh, yawning.

Lucian

I start breakfast and sigh, trying to remember how to do everything.

Halee

I sigh, "I'm not hungry. You can make something for Blithe though."

Lucian

Confused, I study her and nod, making scrambled eggs for the both of us.

Halee

I keep Blithe in my arms and yawn again.

Lucian

I finish and scoop some into a bowl for Blithe, dishing out mine and leaving enough in the pan in case Halee changes her mind.

Halee

Blithe plays with his toy cars on my lap and I smile, bouncing him.

Lucian

"It's ready," I turn to look at them, pouring milk for him and orange juice for me.
