#lakshmi:thread

starter for @loveshard

It’s quiet when lakshmi wakes. it’s her first indication that something is wrong-- her house is never quiet in the mornings. usually she’s woken by never ending babbling and laughter. but today-- silence except for the sound of someone in the kitchen. she moves torwards the kitchen, bleary eyed and wary until she spots them and her 4 year old daughter, already in her uniform and sat on the counter. they’re flipping pancakes and speaking as softly as they can manage and the sight of it, domestic, intimate--soft, makes her heart hurt something fierce. she’s tempted to stay silent and not interrupt-- “....plotting to take over the world then?”
