The Perk, Saturday Morning

Sometime after Emma had gotten up, she'd gone off to the Perk. Today was clearly going to be a day that required caffeine, given the mental turmoil that was going on today.

Mocha. Glorious glorious mocha. Come to Auntie Emma.

Henry scurried over to do that, then paused, bouncing on his toes in line as he looked over at Emma.

<< You won't tell Mama? >> he checked, because he knew he wasn't supposed to have coffee yet, but sometimes Daddy or Aunt Emma or Aunt Kennedy or...really, all indulgent and/or morally ambiguous adults usually let him if he looked sad about it. He just had to make sure no one was going to tell his mother.

Another telepath! Well, that narrowed down the parental options.

<<Cross my heart,>> she promised telepathically. "And if she thinks she smells it on you, just tell her you sat with me and kept me company."

<< She says it'll stunt my growths, >> Henry replied telepathically as he ordered his coffee -- and like Dahlia, ended up with something mostly milk as he wandered back to the table. "But sometimes Daddy lets me and he says coffee never stunted his growths and Daddy's pretty big."

"You just have to eat your vegetables so that you grow, and you'll be fine," Emma promised. "I don't know, though...think you'll get as tall as your papa?"

"I wanna be as big as Uncle Hank, even!" he said, bouncing a little though he was careful not to spill his coffee. He gave a surreptitious look around, wanting to use his powers to cool it down a little, but he knew they weren't supposed to do that in public so he just blew on it carefully. He didn't quite have his father's control over his powers yet.

"Well, I don't know about that. Hank is rather tall," she said, amused. Anyone calling Hank 'uncle' was obviously Bobby's, so it was easy to be amused. "Maybe you'll stay this size forever."

"Nuh uh! I'm almost as big as Mama," he assured her, shaking his head. "An' she's almost as big as you, Auntie Emma!"
icecoldfrost: (emma is smug)

Well, that helped too. "Your Mama is tiny," she teased, bopping him on the nose. "I'm tall."

"Yeah!" Henry giggled. "I'm gonna be bigger'n you, Auntie Emma. Even if I drink coffee every day."

"Nope, will not." Emma shook her head sadly. "You only come up to my knees."

It was an exaggeration, but he was a cute kid.

"Nuh uh!" he insisted. "I'm big. I'm five. Five is old, Auntie Emma."
icecoldfrost: (coffee addict)

[personal profile] icecoldfrost 2011-02-13 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Five is old," she said very seriously. "Old enough to have coffee and not tell your mom where you got it, right?"

They were a coffee conspiracy, darn it.

"She's gonna know," he pointed out, pointing to his temple. "She can tell if I'm fibbing."
icecoldfrost: (Waiting for My Moment)

[personal profile] icecoldfrost 2011-02-13 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Five is also big enough for Auntie Emma to teach you how to hide fibs," Emma confided.

[identity profile] liliceflakes.livejournal.com 2011-02-13 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Hide it even from Mama?" he asked curiously.

[personal profile] icecoldfrost 2011-02-13 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Even from Mama," she promised. "But only if you promise you won't hide important things. Hiding secrets like birthday gifs is okay, but don't hide if you broke the shower."

"It was only one time!" he said, looking guilty. "I just wanted to play with the water."
icecoldfrost: (I'm listening)

[personal profile] icecoldfrost 2011-02-13 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
....SIGH. Only one of Bobby's. Honestly.

"We know, darling," she promised, reaching over to pat his hand. "Accidents happen, right? No one was really mad for long."

[identity profile] liliceflakes.livejournal.com 2011-02-13 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Mama said that showers aren't for freezing," he said seriously. "'Cause other people gotta use 'em. And it's bad for the pipes, 'specially when we're in Bon Temps 'cause that house is oooooold and no one is used to frozen pipes inna summer."
icecoldfrost: (emma smile)

"That's because your Mama is a smart lady," Emma replied, trying so hard not to laugh. "Maybe if you ask nicely, your Daddy will show you how to turn the sprinkler water into snow. Wouldn't that be fun?"

And, well, not pipe-bursting?

"I love snow!" he told her excitedly. "Auntie Emma, Auntie Emma, will you make a snowman with me later?"
icecoldfrost: (winter queen)

[personal profile] icecoldfrost 2011-02-13 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
...how was she supposed to say 'no' to that? Honestly?

"Of course," she promised. "If your parents don't mind if I borrow you for a bit, the girls and I will help you make a snowman."
