Harbinger of Chaos' Daughter

Tamera looked up from eating, mouth open to accept a forkful of spaghetti only to tilt her head in confusion before eating it anyways.

"Look, I know you have your little..." Raios rolled his eyes and spun the fork in his hand with a vague motion, "situationship going on, but you do know tomorrow is Valentine's, right? You got a date or not? I need to know so I can plan for dinner."

Tamera gave an embarrassed squeak as she finished pulling a noodle into her mouth. From the looks of it, she'd completely forgotten. A part of him pitied the man, truly, but the guy was a grown man, and he'd picked this hell for himself, so Rios wasn't about to offer him much more than that. Tamera quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, barely having chewed it and nearly choking in the process.

"Hein?!" she asked, looking equal parts embarrassed and confused. Well, she had to know tomorrow was a day for couples, right? She probably just hadn't had a date on it yet.

"Are you or are you not going to be out for dinner tomorrow?" Raios ground out.

Tamera quickly stuffed her mouth again, making Raios more annoyed. She only ate properly when she wanted to avoid conversation, the brat.

"I'll mark that down for no," he growled, making that the final declaration.

"Um... Peut-être je peux-"

"If you go anywhere near that kitchen, I till cut up your vest and feed it to you. Don't you even dare."

Tamera visibly deflated and went back to picking at her food, trying to get more vegetables on her fork than noodles.

pointing at a new book. "where'd you get this one?" looked like a christmas gift.

She turned her attention to the book in question. It was a pretty simple book, in Kalosian no less. It was a 'visual encyclopedia' for foraging in the various regions, and certainly not the sort of thing she ever would have bought for herself.

Alright, so, for my own mental health, I need to get back into writing. A lot has happened this last year, and I know a lot of people have left, so I'm looking to make new friends and reconnect with old ones! Like this for a starter from the bread child! If you'd like one of her famille or Raios, put that in a comment! It won't be a today thing, but I plan to get to these next week.

love you!

it's the "i love you" we use every time we finish up a call with our mom, every time we want to offer our friends a bit of encouragement, the welcome home kiss on the cheek we give our lover every day. it's sending them pictures you know they'll laugh at, buying them strange little nothings that you know they'll like. it's having their bagel order memorized and setting their birthday as your password. somehow, their name weaves its way into almost every funny story you share with others. it's brief, casual, it's a habit. we aren't even aware we do it. it says that love is cradled lightly in your heart, generously given, spilling out into the world unbeknownst to you, making up the web of delicate threads that hold us all together.

Pack up, they're going berry picking for her birthday!

(A proper birthday ask from Leon this time!)

Fortunately, Leon gets the bread child and not two angry dads.

“Tamera! I hope it’s not too late for your birthday, and I hope the bread stays warm long enough for you to eat it! I hope you’re doing well, and that you’re happy, and… I miss you and I always think of you!

Happy Birthday!

Always yours, Lumi”

Tamera takes a while to read the note, partially due to her mediocre literacy and partially to savor it, before taking one of the rolls to nibble on. Yup. Still very fresh.

Tamera beams, happily chirping out a "Merci" before popping one of the sweet breads into her mouth and munching away. Bread is always a good present for the bread child.

“I heard it’s your birthday today, Tam-Tam! Something special for you, some kisses fr yours truly!~”

Nyx, you just ruin Tamera’s day-

Well, unfortunately for Nyx, she instead finds two "dads" instead.

"Yeah, let's not," Raois says. "Also, kid's not here, but you know she's seeing someone right?" Hell if Raios actually knew what their relationship was, but he doubted either would appreciate this.
