Oh those lovely lawsuits

[mitochondriaaya]

Aya reached out to slap her alarm clock and pulled the covers over her head. She really didn't want to get out of bed today. The very idea of going into the courtroom scared her. Yes, she'd have to get over that eventually, but suing...suing just gave her the creeps. It felt like things were out of hand. Out of control.

She hated that feeling.

That meant she wanted to stay in bed. Sadly, she could smell coffee. And the snooze button wasn't where it was suppose to be...in fact, her alarm wasn't where it was suppose to be. "The hell?" she muttered from within the blankets.

"Yup!" He reaches slowly and pulls his wallet out, passing it up to Aya. "Got the Ayeaye near a picture of baby Aya, the black lemur next to a picture of Braig, the yawning Fossa Braig found to put next to his own, and family pictures.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Okay, our other brother looks exactly like that lemur." Aya admitted. It was why they snipped that particular picture "But my hair is never that bad." she grinned.

"And Dilan totally has that many teeth."

[sliceitwithwind]

"She's lying, I've seen her at the end of finals week. But I totally do have that many teeth." he agrees, "And I get 'em sharpened every three months, like clockwork." and he glances at Kelly's mom, "Carnivore."

"I know." she smiles, "I did six months of specialized nursing school down South."

"...Do you have a card? It's hard to get medical up here..."

Yeah, Aya and Kelly are gonna have to talk on their own for a bit.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Don't listen to him, I'm asleep after finals week." Aya grinned and took the wallet back so she could shuffle through it "And this is Dilan's cat, Cat. Yeah, he named her Cat. He's not so good with names sometimes..." she babbled easily. Aya liked kids too, so talking to them was easy!

"It looks like we're going to see more of you since your mom's a nurse!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"But before you pass out your hair looks like that." Dilan breaks away, contently. He gets the mother's card, and sets Kelly down, when their table is ready. The little girl hugs his leg before bouncing off happily.

"That was nice." he says with a smile for Aya.

[mitochondriaaya]

Aya waved goodbye amidst the girl's giggling laughter then flopped fondly against Dilan's head "Yeah...kids are always nice. You know Aunt Elsy is going to start bugging you guys about grandkids soon right?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Kids are usually nice." Dilan corrects, "And mom can bug as much as she want, I'm only eighteen!"

[mitochondriaaya]

"But you're of age with lots of girlfriends! You're doomed." she countered knowingly. "I have a few more years of freedom. She was starting to make baby noises before I started at the college here."

[sliceitwithwind]

"I am not discussing my sex life in public." Dilan says mildly, "Oh, look, it's our food."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Who said anything about that?!" she sqwuaked, nearly falling off his shoulder "I was just giving you warning!" ah, yes, food! That was the important part! Yep!

[sliceitwithwind]

"You are!" Dilan says, "I don't need a warning! I need to not talk about having kids!"

[mitochondriaaya]

"Fine!" she pouted, sliding off his shoulder and moving some of the food bags aside to start placing money on the counter "Just fine."

[sliceitwithwind]

He snorts softly and adds money, "Thank you."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Welcome." she sighed, taking her own share of the bags. She still didn't see the pint in getting upset, but whatever, the boys had gotten a little weird as they grew up!

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan says, softly, "I'm eighteen. It's a thing."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Yeah yeah yeah." she shrugged and nudged the door open "I'll get weird at eighteen too probably." she wasn't sure how, but it'd probably happen!

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan closes his eyes and says, "Aya, honey, my OCD has been getting worse. I'll get better when I'm used to you being far away."

[mitochondriaaya]

"I'm not that far away Dilan." she responded quietly "I made sure of that. How bad is it?" she shifted enough bags to free an arm and slip it around Dilan's waist.

[sliceitwithwind]

He takes a deep breath and says, "I'll be okay. Promise."

[mitochondriaaya]

"That's not an answer." she grimaced, then looked up at him sternly. She would tickle him! She would, bags or no!

[sliceitwithwind]

"I know monkey. home?"

[mitochondriaaya]

"Yes, home." she sighed "I'm going to tickle you you know."

[sliceitwithwind]

He laughs softly. "I know."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Doomed man walking." she tried to sound ominous as they wove down the sidewalk. "Utterly"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Yes, yes. At least until I dangle you!"
