*Xellos quickly finishes his plate and starts to refill it with a second helping. Being human can be hungry work*

-Lina snickers, content, for once, with a large helping, but only one serving, of food. Not having to compensate for impossibly high levels of magic has lowered her capacity to shovel away food-

*With the combination of all three of their appetites the food is quickly gone and all three of their stomachs are full and content*

-Lina sits back and sighs- That was good, thanks!

*Amelia puts the finishing touches on the breakfast and motions for her guest to join her and the table*

-Lina sits down and smiles brightly- Well, gee! I feel like a diplomat or something, all honored and respected. Hah! -She grins- Thanks, Amy!

*Amelia, now Amy for short, squeals with delight at the new name Lina had just given her. She has never been given a nickname before…*

-Lina thinks it’s good to have a distinction between her Amelia and this one, and a nickname is just that. The Amelia who has given them shelter in such a prone state is Amy now. Amelia lives in the past— their present.-

*Amy plops down in a seat at the table and happily begins to hum to herself as she piles food onto her plate*

-Lina follows suit, not taking nearly as much as she normally would. Sure, there’s a lot of food, but best to let it go around. Xellos is still getting used to being human, after all-

*Xellos joins the two girls a the table and tiredly begins to take his share of the meal that Amy had just made them*

-Lina looks up for the coffee briefly, and after locating it, pushes a cup towards Xellos- That oughta help. -She snickers faintly. This actually ought to be amusing, caffeine could never effect him before, but now…-

*Xellos grins and pushes the coffee back* Nice try Lina. I’ve see how this stuff effects people and I must say i’m not to fond of it…

Well? in doses it’ll just wake you up and give you energy. -She laughs-

Nope! I still don’t trust you… I think I will just stick with this breakfast here. *He starts to devour the contents on his plate*

-She paused and sighed- Oh well… -She shrugs and does take a cup for herself, but not before heavily dousing it with cream and sugar-

Speaking of being alone, have you heard anything from our little clone yet this morning?

Hmn. No I haven’t. She hasn’t poked her head in or anything.

Well I suppose we should get up and let her know that we are still here…

Yeah, we should… -She sighs- Oh well. And I was comfy, too.

Yeah, so was I… *He gives her a brief kiss and sits up to stretch his tired limbs*

-She sighs and rolls off the bed, stretching and yawning- I wonder what’s on the agenda for today…

Hopefully finding the tablet and getting the hell out of here…

Agreed. -She ruffles her hair and sighs before heading out into the living room-

*Xellos follows her out of the room in his wrinkled to see Amelia quietly busying herself in the kitchen by making him and Lina some breakfast*

I thought I smelled food. Morning, Amelia. -Lina leans in the doorway and smiles-

*She turns to face them* Oh! Good morning Lina, Xellos. I hope you two are hungry or else I would have done all this for nothing…

I’m always hungry. -She grins-

Perfect! Then just give me a second to set the table and I will have everything ready for the three of us! *She hurries and start to set plates, silverware, and most importantly, the food, onto the table*

-Lina watches in amusement. She’s actually fairly hungry, but it’s not like usual. She doesn’t have to fuel massive amounts of magic o a day-to-day basis now, and it’s effecting her ability to put away food, possibly for the better-

Oh fine… *He pulls up the blankets and snuggles into his pillow* Back to the nightmares.

-She cuddles him and gently runs her fingers through his hair comfortingly-

*As he enjoyed the feeling of Lina’s touch his breathing began to slow as he gently lost consciousness*

-Lina at least stays awake, a comforting, silent presence, keeping silent vigil for signs of a nightmare-

*All is well at first but as his sleep became deeper he began to dream. Dark and horrifying images of the death and suffering of everyone he once knew flashed before his eyes causing him to lash out and whimper in his sleep*

-Lina cuddles him close and hushes, gently stroking his hair and humming softly. It’s something that has always helped her through nightmares when she was little, and perhaps it will help him, too.-

*It did, but only enough to stop his lashing out and waking up. His nightmare remained as he slept his unpleasant sleep*

-At least the poor baby was sleeping some. Lina sighs and rests her cheek against the crown of his head.-

~Maybe if I ask Mother very, very nicely, she’ll let him sleep peacefully later. It’s worth a shot. The worst that will happen is it won’t work…~

*A few hours pass and Xellos reluctantly wakes up once again for the second time that morning. Even though he had gotten more sleep he didn’t feel any more rested than when he had first woken up earlier* …ugh

Feel any better…? -Lina’s voice is incredibly gentle-

Barely… *He gazes at her with tired eyes* So far i’m not really enjoying this whole being human thing.

-She leans down and kisses him gently- It sucks sometimes, but other parts of it are definitely worth it.

*He kisses her back and raises an eyebrow in confusion* And these parts would consist of…?

-She grins lazily and giggles- You’ll see. You’ll like it.

Hopefully I’ll see it soon… *He gently kisses her forehead*

-She titters- Mmmn… well if we get left here alone… definitely.
