Wynd's head hurt. She was sure now that Tank didn't think she was the same person he'd met in the breeding room. But how could she be? She was a mother now, and protecting her baby and making sure he's safe was all that mattered to her now. That and Tank. She poked at her food, taking a few bites, all the while wiggling her ears in thought.
Rotcholm noticed his mom deep in thought. Her wiggling ears were a sure sign of it. He wondered what Wynd could be thinking about right then that needed that much thought. He tried to ignore the movement in the corner of his eye as he dug into his sandwich, humming with pleasure as the sultry flavors sparked on his small pink tongue.

Moarwhen and Lands finished their food almost at the same time. But lands was free to speak first because burgers can be a lot messier than sushi. Especially if you're a chopsticks master. So while Moarwhen grabbed a napkin and cleaned up around her mouth and fingers her brother looked around at the family. So quiet, well they had just been on an awkward subject. "So... What have you been up to, Mom?"
He knew this was his mother, but even then it felt strange to call her such. That's what Dad had called her in front of them and that's what he'd always reffered to her as. But now that she was right here, in front of him... It felt strange. Moarwhen didn't seem to be having to much trouble with this meeting, none at all. He wished he was more confident, like her.
Whether the others knew it or not Moarwhen was also finding it odd, especially with that silence, "That was a good burger. Messy too," she said, laughing as she bunched up the napkin placing it on the plate that her burger had been on. "Oh, Lands. You got a bit of rice on your..." His ears stood up and he even looked a little embarrassed. Gree paws wiped at the fur around his mouth. "Gone?" "Nooo... On the left," "Here?" "Up a little more... Down a little more..." "Where?" "Naw I'm just kidding," "..."
Lands glared at Moarwhen who gigled happily, "You're to easy to tease, Lands,"

Rotcholm let out a small giggle. "Don't let Moarwhen get to ya, Lands. We all get teased sometimes. Hey Moarwhen, I think you have something right there..." he said, pointing his paw under her chin.
Wynd was concentrating so hard that she noticed the scene as if watching from a distance. In her thinking, she decided that she needed to be more lighthearted with her excitable boy, and let him do what he wants to an extent. She couldn't protect him forever. She decided that once they were alone she'd ask Tank for his opinion. She appreciated his thoughtful insight and felt that she needed some kind of critisim, because she obviously hasn't been doing the whole mother thing right.

Moarwhen frowned, "No there isn't. You can't get me with that same trick I just played on Lands," But her brother leaned forward, inspecting her face, "No, Moarwhen he's right. It's like riiiight..." he pointed to his chin, right in the middle, "There," The lollia's brows furrowed. "Cut it out. I know you're just trying to trick me... Dad!" She turned to Tank, jutting her chin out. "Is there anything on my face?" She asked in almost a whine. Tank checked knowing very well there was nothing on her face. "You know there isn't,"
"Yah I did but I had to double check!" She made a face at Scooter, "Girls are more sensitive then boys about that kinda' stuff. We actually try to look good. Where as you men don't even try,"

Rotcholm laughed. "Then girls worry too much about appearances and should just... wing it. Let it be, be natural! And I thought you were cooler than that." Rotcholm said.
"Rotcholm, be NICE to your sister. Girls are different from boys, there's no changing that. Now finish your sandwich." she said lightly, smiling. Try to be nice, c'mon, you can do it. It's not that bad.
[[Bleh, short post. -_- My muse went to your rave party and won't come back.]]

"She spends eons in the bathroom," Lands sighed, "I try to get up before her so I can at least brush my teeth," he laughed, earning a thwack on the back of the head from Moarwhen. But he'd been expecting it, ducking his head to soften the blow.
"You're so mean! And Scooter we all have our flaws," She said, a little icily. But she restrained herself from saying what she wanted to say. But it was quite clear that Moarwhen had been put off now. Tank sighed, "Cool it guys... Both of you cut it out,"
(( I'm stuck. XD -waits for Kodai to reply to the Rave- And she's moving so that won't be for awhile. XD; ))

Scooter smiled at his siblings antics. "Man I wish I lived with you guys! I feel like an only child at our house, since I'm the only Lolli other than my mom. I mean, the Yumies are kind of cool... but all the others are a bit distant, or they just don't like me. Ah well, their loss. Now, back to that chat about going to that arcade..." he said, shoving the last of his sandwich into his mouth. "How much Skor can I take?"
Wynd smiled and sighed. Rotcholm reminded her of when she took care of Kairi that one day in the city, when her parents were still alive. They'd been walking for hours, and Wynd remembered sneaking off with her to a candy shop and eating themselves sick. Kairi spent all her Skor that day, but she'd had the best time of her life...
"Once we get the bill I'll tell you. But for now, just wait for your sundae."

As if on cue the waitress arrived with sundaes all around. "Here y'are. Enjoy," A sundaue for Scooter, another with extra chocolate shavings for Moarwhen and a smaller bowl of icecream for lands. The three basics flavours for him; vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. He smiled, content with the simple arrangement and started to eat.
"So, the arcade," Moarwhen started, digging into her icecream with her own spoon. She wasn't shy about it in the least. "I have a part-time job or sorts so I got quarters to spare," she laughed. This was a secretly coded 'if our moms cheap I'll supply you with the neccessary quarters'. Moarwhen didn't know what her mother was like but wanted to make it clear that Scooter didn't have to worry.
Her father sighed, rubbing his temples. That seemed rude to him, "I thought you were saving up for something, Moarwhen?" "Oh well... Yah," she said, waving it off, "But I mean it's only a few bucks. No big,"
"You should stay over some night, Scooter," Lands added, smiling, "We could hang out and watch movies... and other things," "Yah, like your library," Moarwhen giggled after she'd swallowed a spoonful of ice cream, "Ohhh... Brain freeze,"

Rotcholm stared at the large sundae sitting in front of him, a bit of drool starting to force it's way through a corner of his mouth. He licked his lips, and picked up his spoon, poised to take a bite...
"Rotcholm, PLEASE put that napkin around your neck, or at least on your lap. I know how messy you get, and that chocolate will stick in your fur horribly."
Scooter rolled his eyes, but did as his mother wished, otherwise he might not get to see the arcade. "Fine..." he muttered, tying it around his small neck. It hung awkwardly on him, but when he did take the first couple of bites, the napkin already had a few brown and pink stains from the chocolate and strawberry ice cream. The fur around his mouth also became stiff, sticky spikes as he finished the rest of it off. "MMMMMMMMMmmmm..." he sighed, content. Sitting back, his belly was now distended from the ice cream and his earlier meal. Licking his lips, he pulled the napkin from around his neck and wiped what he could from his face. Some of it stayed, and he was having a tough time getting some sticky remnants out of his fur when Moarwhen mentioned the cash thing.
He smiled, and pulled at the now stuck napkin on his left cheek. Then he yelped. Stuck to the napkin was small section of fur, while a bald spot -about half the size of a penny- was beginning to turn red. He held a paw to his cheek, wincing.
Wynd was already up and asking a waitress where their bathrooms were, and excusing herself and Scooter, she rushed him into the woman's bathroom, carefully picking his paw off his face and examining the patch of bare skin. "Oh, Scooter." she whispered, ripping off a paper towel, wetting it in the sink, and dabbing it on his cheek. He sat on the counter, looking crestfallen, but perked up. "Hey... you called me Scooter." he said quietly. She turned to look at him, her paw still holding the cool paper towel to his face. "Well... yes, I guess I did." she said, then continued to say, "I'm sorry if I wasn't exactly cool today, Rotch- Scooter. I understand you're frustrated with me, but I'm a mom. I was made to worry about my kid." she said, smiling and giving him a kiss on his forehead. He just smiled at his mom; maybe she wasn't as bad as he thought. As if to inforce his last thought, she handed him a few extra skor for the arcade. "Go ahead and play your heart out, Rotcholm." she said, winking. She had taken away the paper towel and was now just patting it softly. It didn't hurt anymore, it was just sorta cold there, since he was used to having fur there. She rubbed it gently, saying, "That'll grow back in no time. I'll find you a scarf or something later to cover it." she tapped him on the back and he hopped off the counter, feeling a bit better about just staying with his mom.
"Sorry about that..." Rotcholm began to the rest of his family, blushing as he sat down. "I'm fine now. Can we go to the arcade now, mom?" he asked Wynd. She smiled and nodded. Scooter then looked to Tank.
